| - I'm teetering between 1 and 2 stars here, but maybe I'm not a true buffet aficionado. Don't get wrong, not all buffets are evil. But this Golden Corral epitomizes everything I dislike about them.
I went on Sunday after church (mistake no. 1) and was shuffled through the line where I picked up my drink. Side note: They have horchata as a beverage option. I descended into the masses gorging themselves on mediocre food. The crowds, the loudspeakers announcements that children needed to be accompanied by an adult at the buffets, and the waitress whose first words to me were "Receipt?" were a huge turnoff. Yep, they even check your receipt to make sure no one is pilfering mediocre food. Refills are hard to come by.
Sure, they have "Asian" food, "Brazilian" churrasco steak, tacos, fried chicken, and every other Americanized food imaginable, but is it good? Not really. I tried both the brisket and the churrasco steak, both were about 50% fat! The bourbon chicken was overcooked in something more like a cheap BBQ sauce. The only highlight was the yeast roll and mac-n-cheese. Even the carrots were heavily coated with butter or oil one. Blugh! People actually line up en masse for this???
I don't mean to moralize here, but I'd rather be pleasantly full from a quality meal than stuffed with bland, fatty foods served from a trough! Enter at your own risk!
