The lunch buffets can be pretty reasonable. Pizza Hut has lunch buffet for 5.99 and on Mondays, it is 4.99 when I stop there after the morning cow sale. They have pizza, a salad bar, and italian dishes and dessert and breadsticks. If you drink water, it is a pretty good feed for those prices. Mr Godfathers has a little better buffet for about a dollar more. The chinese buffets have come up in prices and are around 6.99 to 7.50 for lunch, some of them are real good, some are terrible. I have eaten at Cheddar's once and thought it was outstanding and reasonably priced. I intend to go back, but they always have a long line and they are a little unhandy to get to. I, also, wish we had a What-A-Burger around here. Or sure wish we had an In-n-Out burger. I love Arby's but seems pretty expensive. All the fast food restaurants charge like regular restaurants, anymore, except for the dollar menu. I love Mexican food, used to be cheap, but has come up alot. However, you can still get decent prices on the lunch combinations. Because of the travel I used to do, I have eaten out way too much. Over the last year, with my Mother in and out of the hospitals and rehabs so much, I have eaten out constantly, while being with her, daily. However, she has been home for the last 6 weeks, so I eat at home more while making her food, but also have trips to get cattle feed and Mom's medicines and errands and I will stop and get prepared food to bring home. Yes, high cattle prices can make things higher in the restaurants, but they were getting high even before cattle prices got high. As far as tipping goes, I leave 15 percent, except for outstanding service, then it is 20. And, like someone else said, I would rather have a waitress than a waiter, but I have never asked for one.
