Among places that we frequented when we briefly traveled to the Myrtle Beach area was Buffet's "Margaritaville" restaurant. While fine dining wasn't at the forefront of my mind, rather the bar was, I was taken aback with some memory throw-backs. While I do not know what the restaurant chain appears like in Orlando, the site in South Carolina reminded me of a place endeared to the Norville family: Pargo's. Yes, for those who knew it, the now Chik-Fil-A casual dining experience of the Harrisonburg Pargo's vaguely conjured up a few thoughts. These mainly include: the relaxed atmosphere tended by marijuana-smoking and hung-over college students and the seemingly random crap, dummies and whatnot, hanging from the ceilings. Unlike you I stayed at the restaurant and partook in libations, mainly of Buffet's Landshark Lager, and was as impressed as one can be at a beach bar that isn't located at the beach. However with Buffet music "buffeting" you as you relax in a tropical atmosphere it is hard to leave with a negative impression, or for that matter a sober one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03222156762823403064noreply@blogger.com
