I do this because you need to know what you are in for if you go to a restaurant that I review. If something is a big issue for me, it is a big issue for most of my readers.

This seems to be a big issue with you when you eat out, especially if the drinks are included.<br /> <br />No, you shouldn't have to get up, go over and remind him, but to suffer in silence to try and make a point seems so silly.

When I am recommending a buffet that is not local to a reader, I am in no way saying travel there just for the restaurant. If you are local to one of the buffets that I review then try it.

Even driving 25 miles each way in our "local" area costs us over two gallons of gas, or more than $8.00. These gas prices will benefit supermarkets and take-out restaurants for sure. Our local OCB is TERRIBLE. The "good" one is 2.5 gallons of gas away, or $10.00 at the gas station. No way that we are doing that.Agnes L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15400631.post-67843885836872693452012-03-10T21:48:52.418-05:002012-03-10T21:48:52.418-05:00I think you should go again... but bring your own ...I think you should go again... but bring your own drinks as a backup. :) Sorry to hear you had bad service. What other areas in NJ do you frequent on business?
