Are the buffet queues long at Turkish all-inclusive resorts, and how's the food quality?

TL;DR
Many Turkish all-inclusive resorts have 10-30 minute lines for grilled fish, chicken and pide, and pairing meat with side dishes in one station slows everyone down; avoid peak times or grab salmon/ice cream off-hours to skip queues.
What the community said
Side dishes (rice, potatoes) and meat are served at the same station, so even guests who just want a side end up waiting 30 minutes in line.

Sushi rolls are poorly made but still have long lines — skip them; salmon is available with no queue even 30 minutes before closing, and ice cream has no line at lunch (though there's a wait at dinner).

Entering the sea at this resort feels uncomfortable underfoot even without sharp rocks — water shoes are recommended (by comparison, walking barefoot on large rocks in Kemer was more comfortable).

Food selection is weak: mostly beans, about a 10-minute wait for grilled fish and chicken, pide only comes with potato filling and also has a line, and staff are slow. After a complaint to the manager, they started serving cooked rice and sliced vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes).
