I've been to some very good buffets, but , in general, buffets are filled with mediocre food. The Best breckfast buffets are small, so that everything stays fresh and hot and not overcooked or soggy

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't mind buffets as long as they are well done. I like organization, lots of options, wide aisles and fresh food. Soggy, poorly reheated food is nobody's friend. Neither are huge lines, empty chaffing dishes and lack of table busing.
I'm willing to overlook shortcomings if the entertainment is good, and if there are free mimosas or other alcohol.

I'm not sure I've ever been to a breakfast buffet that wasn't in a hotel. (And therefore serving hotel food and therefore almost universally pretty crappy.)

laura's link may looks really yummy.
However , I wouldn't get to touch most of the food, because I can't eat that much. It would make me sad.

I love buffets, especially breakfast buffets. The few I've been to have been fabulous. I love to be able to take a little of everything.
I don't think I've ever been to a really formal sit-down brunch, in fact.

Except in Vegas.
My stepmom goes to Vegas a lot, and she's a big fan of the buffets at the Rio. She says it's got a huge variety of stuff to eat, and most if not all of it is top-notch quality.

This is my current favorite brunch place in Brooklyn.
This is one of the best brunches in Manhattan, except that the restaurant tends to be full of annoying hipsters.

I don't think I've ever been to a breakfast buffet. Bunch to me, is out, sit down, and usually involves eggs and/or bacon, and more coffee that it is normally wise for me to consume. My favorite breakfast brunch place is currently serving somethign called The Elvis:
Buttermilk Waffle Sandwich, filled w/ Peanut Butter, Bananas, and Bacon. Drenched in Maple Syrup

Jessica, the Farm on Adderley looks AMAZING- I want to eat everything on that brunch menu, starting with the 3 minute eggs.
