With all the down time we’ve had, I’ve had the opportunity to visit several local buffets. Most fall into the ‘average’ category, although I was pleased to see that they all served rice noodles. My favorite in Fargo is the Giant Panda buffet. For me, they have the best selection at a fair price. While most of the buffets should be OK for a visit when in town, I have to mention 2 specifically.

The first is the Snap Dragon Asian Buffet, just over the state line in Moorhead MN. I visited here shortly after my arrival, while my truck was getting repaired. This place was close enough for me to ride my bicycle. That turned out to be a good thing for them. I walked inside and looked at the number of trays on the buffet and was very disappointed that it was so limited. If I’d been driving, I would have turned around and gone to plan B.

The other buffet I wanted to mention is the Super Buffet, on 45th St in Fargo. I visited twice and was satisfied with the variety, quality and price. Then I returned a 3rd time, on a night they were serving frog legs (one of my personal favorites). Maybe they had a replacement cook that night, maybe not. I just know that most of the food was very greasy and I was up and running to the bathroom several times that night in the RV. I understand this can happen anywhere but I honestly can’t remember the last time I had the experience from a public restaurant.
