You know I am always amazed at differing opinions.. I am a huge fan of Captain's Grille, ala carte and buffet. I am not sure what time the poster was there but when I have been there, they are always replenishing the buffet and if they were not, you would be darn sure I would say something to my server or call over a manager..
Also, a huge fan of Spoodles as well. I have not done breakfast there lately and I would be horrified to think that they use prepared french toast, but lately with all the cuts, I am wondering... I am going to see if I can find out for you... They do french press for coffee, which I love, and I know their dinner meals are terrific.
