Old Country Buffet’s $5.99 breakfast

Old Country Buffet is currently advertising their $5.99 weekend buffet breakfast and since this is only for a limited time, we decided to give it a try right away. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I was astonished by the number of people waiting in line to be seated. The line is long enough to reach the entrance and at this point I was thinking of going back and have breakfast elsewhere but the enticing aroma kept us waiting in line.

Expect the dining area to be crowded (I would say double the size of the crowd on a typical dinner) and anticipate to fall in line again when getting the food (but its ok since it doesn’t take that long). These are all normal effects of having a lot of people dining. Anyway, I’m sure that you won’t mind the long wait and the crowded room after tasting the food.

The food is still fine despite the low price and number of guests that stormed the restaurant. The usual breakfast entrees are still served and the taste did not change at all. The breakfast menu is listed below.

• Carved Ham
• Bacon
• Eggs Benedict
• Corned Beef Hash
• French Toast
• Hash Brown
• Sausage
• Scrambled eggs
• Fresh Fruits
• Biscuits and Country gravy
• Waffles
• Buttermilk Pancakes
• Country Fried Steak
• Pastries
• Quiche

I would say that the $5.99 weekend buffet breakfast is still a good bang for your buck.  (Note: This article was written in 2009, prices and availability may vary) Imagine having all those wonderful breakfast entrees for a fraction of the cost. I’m sure that most can save their lunch money since feeling hungry could wait until almost dinner time.
