The all-you-can-eat buffet certainly isn’t as prominent as it was two years ago. Fortunately, they still exist, and for those who enjoy a wide variety of tasty options (and multiple trips through the food line), a delicious buffet lunch is as good as it gets.

Not only does this family-owned eatery serve some of the best Thai food in the state, but at lunchtime, you can enjoy as much as you’d like for one low price....
