Around the World Foods That Should've Stayed Home

I’m always raving about the Paris Breakfast Buffet, and rightly so. But this visit, we came across a coupon for the Rio Breakfast Buffet, and so I thought I’d give another establishment a chance to knock the Le Village Buffet off it’s top notch.
The draw of the breakfast buffet at the Rio is that it features food from around the world. The idea is good in theory, and is even good in just a few of the foods. However, it was far inferior, and at $20 a pop (before coupon) it’s really not worth the money.
Now, I think if you arrived early, on a weekend day, when they keep the food flowing and it doesn’t sit for a while, you might be more satisfied. However, when a breakfast burrito sits around under a heater, good things don’t happen. Actually, it was the breakfast burrito from the Mexican station, filled with eggs and ground beef that was one of the breakfast highlights, along with some chicken taquitos. The traditional scrambled eggs were less than tasty and a bit watery. The fresh-made omelet that I ordered with only 2 ingredients, cheese and bacon, was hardly edible and way too brown. The pancakes were soggy, the French toast sticks were chewy and tough, and the bacon was flimsy and soft. There were some sweets available, in the form of pecan pie tarts, lemon tarts, and chocolate canolli bites. However, they turned out to be way to sweet for breakfast, and while they tasted good, a bite or two was about all I could stomach.
Save your money, and eat at the Paris buffet. I’ve now confirmed it’s the best.

The buffet offers everything you can imagine from breakfast to dinner, seafood to Mexican cuisine. They've got it all and it's wonderful! Just watch out for the morning lines!

This is like your typical all-you-can-eat restaurant. There are certain hours for each buffet, the waiters come around and serve the drinks. The food was good but not extraordinary. The buffet is set up in categories- Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Etc.

This buffett has everything from sushi to pasta. There is an excellent salad bar, then you go to each of the different "stations" for the type of food you want. One has all of the meats (steak, turkey, ham, etc.) another station is all italian (pasta, sauces, sausage, cheeses) another station is all seafood, cooked any which way you can imagine, then there's the fried station....everything is, you guessed it, FRIED...my favorite station is the sushi bar, then there's Chinese, German, I can keep going. But for this price and the quality of the food, you need to be there yourself! I will definitely go back!
