Is Cici's buffet as good as higher priced buffet places?

Cicis is only $5 compared to some of the others(Old country buffet, ponderosa) that are $10. Is the quality of food similar or does it taste like less money is put into the quality?Is Cici's buffet as good as higher priced buffet places?
No they aren't nearly as good as certain places that are local to me, but they are cheap and good once in a while. Especially when they have a full salad bar. And since you can ask for anything you want, I usually get a cup of shredded cheese to go with my salad, and a cup of pizza sauce to dip my bread sticks, and I special order a fresh deep dish pizza they bring right to my table!
Sometimes my Wife and I split one and they make it half and half for us to have different toppings.
The down side is sometimes they run out of our favorite stuff.
But the manager at ours was great and gave us free passes to come back! And they're always very friendly and charismatic so we like em.
But here in San Diego, there are quite a few casinos with specialty buffets that change every night for 10 bucks a person. Great food!
Barona's is just incredible, but they want almost 20 a head!

Oh, and when we're feeling frugal because of income issues, she brings her giant purse with some large zip lock bags, and we sit in the corner where they can't see us. Then we just get some extra plates of fresh veggies and pizza and bring it home for later. =) That works at a lot of places to really get your money's worth. The worst that can happen is they kick you out... But don't get caught and it won't be a problem.
CiCi's is good for pizza only. The others have a wide selection of items to choose from.

CiCi's has so-so pizza, will not replace a good pizza from Lou Malnatti's or Edwardo's or some of the other places but if you are feeding a group of kids or just want pizza it is just fine. There are cinnamon rolls that are really pretty good, I could just eat them and forget the pizza.

The nice thing is if you want a pizza and they don't have one out you can ask and they will make it for you and bring it to your table if you like.

Keep in mind that pizza is a pretty inexpensive item to make. The most expensive item on the pizza is the cheese. They can do quite a bit for the cost of the buffet. You pretty much fill up on bread.

This is a great place for a kids birthday party, a sport team, a scout group.Is Cici's buffet as good as higher priced buffet places?
See, Old Country Buffet provides pizza that will beat Cici's anyday. Ponderosa has great selections for dinner, along with Old Country Buffet. Old Country Buffet also has breakfast (omelettes, croissants, and more). In my opinion, stretch out for just $5 more, and you'll have a great meal.
yes cicis is the best. the pizza is great they have pasta and you can even get calzones made just the way you want. they will make anything the way you want and bring it out to your table. Great placeIs Cici's buffet as good as higher priced buffet places?
yes! go at 9:30pm and when it closes at 10:00pm, they'll give you free left-over pizza (if you're the last person left). that makes it totally worth it!
its a lot better
