Finally made it out for lunch. It is definitely a good deal for the buffet--$5 and change if you get it sans beverage. Comes with all you can eat pizza and a basic salad of lettuce and mozzarella. I got the ranch dressing and the salad was quite tasty (some places have Bad Ranch, not Conan's). Salad is pretty hefty for a "side salad."

The pizza is good, deep dish. They have about 5 varieties on the buffet. Buffet is manned by employees--it's not a self-serve free-for-all. You are limited to two slices per trip, which is plenty. In fact, I could only eat two slices total. The pizza is quite filling. I could have probably stuffed one more slice down, but decided to stop at two. They also offer a slice and salad lunch deal for just over $4, which is probably what I'll get next time.

This place is an Austin institution. It looks just like I remember it from my college days. Walls covered with fantasy comic book graphics, kind of a closed-in interior with a mix of private booths lining narrow aisles and regular tables situated on two elevated platforms with about six tables on each. There are several nooks and crannies where the booths are kind of hidden around corners.

A good lunch spot.

Address FYI: The address is listed as Anderson Lane, but the restaurant faces Burnet road, just north of Anderson.
