all you can eat restauraunts

delllat

are any of you able to exercise restraint when at an "unlimted" restaurant or do you eat more than you normally would because its "free"

I am trying to get my friends to go later today but they are not keen as "we will end up eating 5 plates each and can hardly move for the rest of the day"

does everyone do this or do i just know some hungry cnuts ?

Loopy

I try to avoid them as I will go up and down all nite like a whores knickers to re-fill my plate, regardless of how full I am..

Gone Drinking

I wouldn't have a problem stopping eating.. but i usually avoid them because the food usually tastes like bigfoots dick.

Go on, tell us all about it?

As a former swimmer/water polo player, we used to love finding these places on the road. Our coach went anout 350 kilos back in the day and would always draw attention when we went anywhere.

In the meantime, the load of us would walk in and fill out plates a half dozen times without any notice, while people would always keep an eye on our coach.

A bus load of 65 kilo Kobayashis will do a hell of a lot more damage than one fat bloak.

Nah I don't like them. My appetite is small so I can never eat enough to get the value out of it!

They tend to have to sort of food that'll make you feel sick long before you feel full.

We were asked to leave one before. All you can eat my hole.

You'd get nicer, tastier food at the golden arches.

Highsider

MSG. That is all

The ones at the chinese restaurants can leave you feeling like a pregnant elephant.

And where did you go after you left the all you can eat restaurant?

irish_goat

Unless it's decent food you're getting/really cheap you're usually better off just going for a meal in a normal restaurant. Not as if you can't get a filling meal that doesn't involve several helpings.

Strange name for a restauruant

Unless you're really short of money, I can't see the attraction. You go to restaurants to enjoy your food and talk to your companions, not constantly leg up and down to the counter to stock up your plate.

Does that sound like a man who had "All He Could Eat" ?

I can never take advantage of these places cos my appetite is quite small...I get full so quickly

TPD

I was in a great all you can eat chinese in Majorca. Completely stuffed after the first mountainous plate, went up for another. Great food too.

Chocoholic84

Ahhh I love All-You-Can-Eats - Jimmy Chung's in Dublin 1 is the nicest one I've ever been in - very classy and the waiting staff are so polite.

But I do agree that I would eat more when I know I can eat as much as I want for a set price...it's called getting value for money! If I feel like a fat pig after, I just go run it off

connundrum

Pizza Hut do it at lunch time. Tried to go at it before, ended up eating less than what I'd normally eat anyways.

Bit of a let down.

And also a bit manky that other people could have touched my pizza slice with their jizz covered hand.

Hey, Pizza Delivery Drivers have to find ways to spend their down time too!

Ross_Mahon

When we were on lunch back in school, We would chip in together for one person in Pizza Hut, Then start sneaking pizza's under the table between six people!

The girl that worked there lives around the corner from us, She knew what we were up to, She didn't mind, She even gave us free drinks and refills

rossie1977

i have been to nearly every buffet in vegas, some incredible bargains there, the buffets at bellagio and wynn are gourmet quality if truth be told. the buffet at the rio hotel is stupidly big with every form of food on planet earth there it seems. i have seen huge americans (and i mean huge, we talking 30 stone+) struggle to finish at these places

haven't been to any in ireland though all-you-can eat chinese or pizza ONLY does not seem like an attraction to me

minidazzler

Where are these All you can eat places? I have never come across any in Cork? Or will I have to travel to Dublin for the Pleasure?

lucylu

All you can eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in the Windjammer Cafe on the Royal Carribean Liberty of the Seas Cruiser while looking out at the Carribean

Indie18

I usually find that I eat less in an all you can eat place than if I where to go to a proper resturant, don't really know why.

Do they charge €1 for extra topping?

Demonique

Mongolian Barbeque in Temple Bar is 'All You Can Eat' in regards to the main courses - it's not cheap though. At least €25 per person

It IS good, though

Ah yes, projectile jizz.

Indeed.

And, there's nowt wrong with Ballymun. Best chicken fillet roll I ever had was from the Supervalu in Ballymun.

Sans jizz.

And, it was all I could eat.

I would probably eat less in an all you can eat than a regular restaurant. I usually just find one thing I really like and just eat that.

Abi

I wouldn't be into it anyway. I hate feeling over full, and don't really see the point of gorging yourself just for the hell of it.

Degsy

There's a place on parnell st across from fibberss..all you can eat chinese for 7 euro!!!

delllat

Pizza Hut has that during lunch times... All you can eat for 10eur.
The pizza is not bad. Its just like the normal pizza.
Though i don't have a huge appetite so i usually find them places kinda useless...

What I like about these restaurants is the chance to have a few different things - ever go someplace and cant decide between say steak and chicken.......can get a bit of both in AYCE!!

Never go overboard tbh...more the enjoyment of getting exactly what you want and how much as opposed to overeating...;)

gustavo

Was in one in Birmingham - Around the World in 80 dishes , Was brilliant. Food was really well done , Of course I made the schoolboy error of totally filling my plate the first time around with anything and everything.

There's the Chanze Chinese near Dame St, anyone been there?
There's another (could be Thai?) across from Easons, on Abbey St.

that place is phillipino iirc

I hate it when in a normal resteraunt you get a small portion and you don't eat all you want. I think in all resteraunts if you're still hungry after eating the meal they've given you, they should give you a second helping. At least of the potatoes, veg etc. If you're paying €15-20 for a meal, the least you can expect is to be full afterwards.
