Sorry my cross posting pisses some of you off.

Anyway the one I went to  is probably 20 miles west of Washington, DC.

Fair Oaks Mall
11750 Fair Oaks
Fairfax, VA 22033

The thing with all you can eat buffets is the food can be good if
there's enough of a crowd for them to refill the trays.  The trick is
you need to keep an eye on the serving tables and get the food as soon
as it's brought out.  The other thing is don't load up before you've
tasted one.  Hate to get a plate full and find out it's not what you
expect.
