  1. That was my favorite restaurant and I’m sad to see them close. I’d been eating there since I discovered it in 2010. I wish they’d announced their closing via email and their Facebook page beforehand so I could have made it there one last time…

  2. If the chain’s top performing restaurant had to be permanently closed, it makes you wonder how long the others will last. Unfortunate news as yet another business succumbs due to the COVID pandemic.

  3. I hadn’t eaten at one of these since the early 90’s and didn’t realize they were still around. It’s interesting that they acknowledge that even post pandemic buffet’s might struggle. I was always concerned about them pre-pandemic even though I would eat that style at work and personal events. Mostly seeing young kids around the food was enough too make me question digging in, but always made me wonder who was before me and were they careful. Yes, you don’t know about the food behind the curtain, but at least it’s supervised and hopefully employee’s are following rules of handling. This whole Covid-19 episode has made me wonder if going out to eat will resume to normal now that people have gotten used to eating at home again.
