    The buffet is tempting when you are in a hurry and want something other than a frozen burrito or the mystery meat from the hot deli or whatever. then you see the price and just leave hungry.

    R Place in Morris at the TA is good, it's also not a corporate. I have found many of the TAs to be OK and almost all had quit the buffet when they had enough help, and went to free seconds on many items in lieu of the buffet.

    There is one in Battle Creek, MI, I haven't been there since shortly after it was opened, but that one had a buffet because they were short of wait staff and trying to get it established.

    I never got to the one south on I-69 just to the east of that one, but it should be about the same.

    R-Place is good, but the Chilis across the street always got my money. The buffet at Iowa80 wasn't too bad, but I only ate there twice.

    I concur. I was just there a few days ago. Though the waitress that served me was very awkward.
