Our family books almost all buffets. We have very picky eaters ( one autistic) so we are never quite sure what he will eat that day. easier to just give them plates and let then pick what they want. i like salads with my meal, and it doesnt usually include on the dining plan, but i can get salad at the buffets. i also love that most of them have fresh fruit too. so for me, i can get a little of everything, which is how i like to eat.
