 My family has observed a long-standing tradition of eating out at a good
 buffet on Thanksgiving day.  Our experiences with the Pittsburgh area:

     Vista                 Excellent.  Huge variety.  Great presentation.
                           The only one we've repeated.

     Airport Mariott       Good food, but selection wasn't all that big.
                           Also, they occasionally ran out of things,
                           so you'd have to keep going back to see if
                           they had replenished it yet.

     Grand Concourse       Great ambiance.  We expected a larger selection.
                           The actual buffet was largely on the grand
                           staircase - impressive, but a little awkward.
                           Did not enjoy the food as much as the others.

     Holiday Inn McKnight  Good, satisfying meal, but nothing fancy.
                           No ambiance.
