However, my real problem is the clientele at OCB. I realize that a buffet is usually going to draw in big eaters looking for a bargain, nothing wrong with that, except on one occasion, there was a woman with a recently amputated legAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15400631.post-3154319181647986382008-04-10T19:48:00.000-04:002008-04-10T19:48:00.000-04:00I went this OCB this past Tuesday evening.

The reason that I decided to go on this night was to have their Tuesday night featured dish which is a sausage and pasta entree. (One of their better offerings) There was none. Not even a place where it would have been. And no other entree to replace it. The restaurant was far from crowded.

It is odd that this company acquires another buffet chain (that is superior) and in a year declares bankruptcy. Perhaps OCB should have put its efforts in improving its own chain without the added expense of another.Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664259206096691320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15400631.post-5762424111338575102008-03-06T12:17:00.000-05:002008-03-06T12:17:00.000-05:00Hi.

We really enjoy the Old Country Buffet in Levittown. The biggest problem are some of the customers not the restaurant. If you don't like going there, for goodness sakes stop eating there on an overcrowded Sunday night.
