I am afraid it will affect patronage because, like me, many people including my husband would make the trip because of the buffet.
I was saddened to hear that the problem is more about staffing than anything else. I absolutely love Harrington but what makes the 1 and 1/2 drive to Delaware even better was the buffet which was the best hands down (I met add, I don't even like buffets, but I like theirs).
