Friday night buffet dinner

Flaming Grill Buffet, in Riverdale NJ on Rt 23

we have a steady group of 8 people and some time as much as 20.
The people who come are from very diverse backgrounds/education/work/age.... just good people.

this is NOT a 'singles event' ( a few of them are happily married but the better half does not come for various reasons ).

this is about socializing and laughing, and eating. the buffet is huge with all kinds of foods. we come during usual dinner time, so there are many customers there, which means that the food turnover is frequent and so the food is freshly cooked.
we get there around 6pm ( some arrive as late as 8:30 ) and stay talking till 10pm ( always a surprise that it is time to go, and some times even hang around outside for an other 1/2 hour to even 2 hours ( midnight) talking CAUSE ITS JUST THAT MUCH FUN ! ).
there are those who come at 6pm and leave soon after 8pm.
please RSVP YES, if you think you want

the price is $20+tip each, paid directly to the management
( regular price separate checks ) . if we have 7 people or more, they include tip that raises the price to just over $23
drinks other then water ( coke, tea, coffee ) are just over $1.?? added to price
