Furr's

What is it about Furr's? I'm not sure if I like it or not. In general the food is alright. The price is definitely in the right spot... but for an all you can eat buffet of probably 40 different options, you just start to wonder how they manage that for only 6 dollars and 99 cents. I mean.... 10 different salads, 7 or so different entrées, 10 different sides and a myriad of deserts... you can eat all you want, and its only 6.99.

Perhaps its the fact that some of the dishes have never before been heard of .... Mexican meatloaf for example. My hunch is that they took the leftover meatloaf, and leftover enchiladas from the day before and just dumped one on top of the other (perhaps the worker who had this idea was Hispanic?). Perhaps its the fact that the "Salisbury steak" looks just like a burned hamburger with some watery juice instead of the traditional bun and fix'ns. Maybe this is what a Salisbury steak is.... I dont know... but whatever the case.... it looks cheap. Perhaps its the fact that 80% of the food there is either dry or tough. Perhaps its the fact that all of the desserts taste the same. Or, perhaps is the fact that the stench of old, cheap grandpa's with one foot in the grave around every corner is inescapable... each one eyeing you like you need a haircut... each one just one wrong look away from shaking their fist at you. I dont know.... I guess I'll continue to eat there from time to time at least until it makes me sick. Hell for 6.99 I'd dine on baby fingers (assuming it was socially acceptable).

If you put enough gravy on anything its bound to taste alright.
