Cafeterias

Probably the most reasonable eating out option is the cafeteria. With the all-you-can-eat option, a multi-course meal is a value at $6.49. Salads, meat entrees, hot veggies, bread, and rows of dessert temps you through the previewing line. As many people as there are, there are that many variations on the meal.

Cafeterias have good and bad days. On a bad day, or at a bad cafeteria, you could decide the concept is better than the food. I grew up in a cafeteria family. As a young adult, I hated cafeterias. The atmosphere is so bland.

This afternoons outing left me full and happy at the local Furrs. I wouldn't suggest it for a date, but it's a place to sit and eat and watch other people. Families with children wear their problems on their sleeves. A cup of after dinner coffee, a pen and journal, and the latest world problem to solve! It's great to have weekends!
