I remember coming here as a kid and thinking this was the best experience ever. I recently went back with my family, because my dad had a coupon for it. After waiting in line for two hours, we were seated, I went and made a plate of prime rib, turkey, and other fixings. Nothing was especially spectacular. I went up for shrimp and crab legs next. The shrimp were decent, but the crab legs tasted a little old, dry, and had a consistency of rubber. After that was the Chinese station. The bbq pork was decent, the flavor was spot on, but a little fatty. The duck was delicious although lacked the crispy skin one would like with a roasted duck. Finally, the desserts, I found mostly everything to be disappointing. The gelato was not creamy, but more icy and too sweet. The cakes were nothing special either. \n\nI can only think of one comparison. As a kid one loves McDonald's with a fervent passion, but once you have had better, McDonald's becomes the place you eat at when you are desperate for something simple and quick. The line at the Carnival World Buffet is anything from that description. I do not see myself going back there anytime soon.
