Appreciate any comments you have about it as well as any other suggestions of good places to eat off-site other than Mimi's, Millie's, Tony Roma's, Denny's and IHOP.

Originally Posted By tete75 I absolutely would not recommend Hometown Buffet, i so agree with 8_ilovemickey_8 its so disgusting...But MiMi's Cafe has great food and Millie's has great food for a reasonable price...So I would go with one of those two..Denny's is a bit pricey and not too appetizing...
