Ahhh, it’s Sunday, and you just completed a very fun-filled and busy weekend with lots of activities with family, friends and out of town guests. Either everyone has gone to church or got up too late.
Either way it’s too late to cook, but everyone is hungry and it’s too early to say good bye to the weekend. That’s where everyone jumps in the car and goes out to Brunch.
Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch eaten usually during the late morning to early afternoon, generally served from 11am up to 3pm and regularly has some form of alcoholic drink.
All You Can Eat Buffet:
Some folks are looking for a buffet style where you can pick and choose from dozens of choices and enjoy all you can eat. You will find below the many Northwest Indiana restaurants that offer this kind of brunch service. After all, Brunch is where the idea of “Buffets” took on mass appeal in the first place. See Items 1 thru 13 below!
Buffet Vs. Breakfast From the Menu:
We have separated the buffet brunches from the local Restaurants that serve breakfast from a menu, in which guests select specific items which are served to them by waitstaff. (See items 14 thru 35 below.)
