RE: Seafood Buffets

There are some foods that I believe actually benefit from more time in a chafing dish (such as curries and stews), but seafood generally does not. That's why I prefer to get my seafood from places that prepare it as you order it. Also, in buffets that include a substantial amount of seafood, as in other buffets, there are some dishes that are good, but most, in my experience, are average or worse, so you have to pick and choose carefully to eat well. You usually can eat all that you want for a reasonable price, so the value is usually there, but when I want seafood, I go elsewhere.

The same can be said for the out of sight kitchen of any restaurant. Some are as clean as a hospital operating room, and in the other extreme some are filthy, putrid germ pits. I'm not a big buffet fan, but I'm not afraid to eat at a clean open kitchen place like the afore mentioned Minado.......the place is spotless.

I wasn't talking about the kitchen staff...I was talking about the customers who go through the buffet line ( especially kids who sometimes forget to wash their hands )...

I went to the San Jacinto Inn as a kid. It was right next to the Battleship Texas near the San Jacinto Monument. They were famous for their seafood buffet.
Now there is the Monument Inn. I’m not sure if it’s the same operation or not, but it is in the same vicinity if not the same location. I wouldn’t mind checking it out. I can easily eat $24 worth of r’oysters and fried shrimp alone!
It's been several years since my Sister and Brother in Law hosted a catered reception at the Monument Inn. I don't know how it is now, but the food then was superb.
