Don’t Scratch to Win at Buffets, Inc. Restaurants Nationwide! {$25 Gift Card Giveaway}

When it comes to going out to eat, deciding on a restaurant can sometimes feel like a calculus equation.

You want pizza? But you want tacos? While you want steak? And I want a salad? Plus we need them to all be found in a location that is family-friendly, affordable and won't take so long for food to be served that the kids get impatient and rowdy? Kind of sounds like a parent's dream restaurant to me!

But it's not! Buffets, Inc., the nation's largest steak-buffet restaurant company, currently operates 350 restaurants in 35 states, comprised of 340 steak-buffet restaurants and 10 Tahoe Joe's Famous Steakhouse restaurants. No matter if your family is divided between pasta and shrimp, everyone can still end up getting exactly what they want!

If you are one of the approximately 100 million customers that enjoys eating at Old Country Buffet, HomeTown Buffet, Ryan's, Country Buffet, Granny's Buffet and Fire Mountain restaurants, then you already know that these restaurants can pretty much do it all!

As well as their usual buffet-style goodness, right now the Buffets, Inc. lineup of restaurants has kicked off a scratch and win contest with a twist where everyone is a winner: the Don't Scratch to Win promotion!

Going on now through October 28 (while supplies last), simply visit any of the 340 Buffets, Inc. locations and pick up a scratch ticket to participate. Nearly three million cards will be distributed and every ticket is a winner – prizes include American Express gift cards, gift cards to the Buffets brands restaurants, discounts and more, with the grand prize of a $5,000 dream vacation!

The twist comes with the fact that you must return at a later date to have your ticket scratched and the prize revealed. Simply bring your Don’t Scratch to Win card to your local Ryan's, HomeTown Buffet, Fire Mountain, Granny's, Country Buffet or Old Country Buffet with the scratch off area intact between October 29 and November 21 during dinner hours.

At that point, the cashier will scratch off your card to reveal a prize or dinner discount. Remember, in addition to the grand prize dream vacation, there are five $500 American Express Gift Cards, ten $200 American Express gift cards, five $100 American Express Gift cards and 1000 $10 Buffets, Inc. gift cards, good at any Buffets, Inc. buffet restaurant. All other cards offer the guests a discount on their dinner that night – from $1 off to a free dinner with beverage purchase.

What are you waiting for? No purchase is required and there are no losers in the Don't Scratch to Win game, so you just have to remember that there's no peaking at your card before you bring it back in to be redeemed!
