At a hotel in Tampa so long ago I forgot the hotel's name and at a Cracker Barrel last year. The hotel buffet was just ok, but Cracker Barrel was pretty good and we got right in after just a short wait.

One benefit was that everyone can get their favorites, which is great for our family because not everyone likes turkey.
