Before the days of Old Country Buffet we had an all you can eat place (that was huge for a suburb) called Kings Table. We went there all the time for Alaskan King Crab nights. They also had a banana boat bar for making banana, soft serve ice cream, whipped cream, and sugar sauce (chocolate, butterscotch , or strawberry) monstrosities!! Anyone else remember these?!

Is this me?

I loved Old Country Buffet.

Now it's been replaced with Chinese Buffets, which while okay, is missing some of the southern food that I enjoyed.

We never had an Old Country Buffet, but we did have a Ryan's. I miss those rolls terribly.
