| - On April 18, 2011 my girlfriend Kiley and I went to Old Country Buffet. As we walked in through the tightly enclosed doors there was a line of old people waiting on the side and the front line girl called us to the front of the line. Kiley got water and I got a soda. The price came out to about $17.00 for the two of us. We walked through the totally what seemed to be unorganized restaurant where the only thing that seemed right was there was food on the left and tables, mostly dirty tables, on the right.
We found a table in a quieter section as we passed through a storm of kids that I wondered why they weren't in school as it was a Monday at noon. We sat down and kinda soaked in the atmosphere for about five minutes thinking the server would come up but after about seven minutes I told Kiley to go ahead and get some food first. She got mashed potatoes, part of a baked potato, carrots, a corn dog, and some chili. She said the chili was good and the mashed potatoes were real mashed potatoes, but the carrots were plain and she did not finish the corn dog.
I got a salad, which had been sitting for a while, BBQ chicken which was pretty good, carrots which I to thought were plain, pasta which I really enjoyed, rice and eggs which I didn't care for, and a chicken noodle soup which could've used some seasoning. The server finally approached not even asking if we've been here or telling us his name and walked away before I could ask him a question. There were no napkins on the table so I had to get up and find them. Overall I guess I would say it was pretty good for a buffet but there was a very small selection and the salad bar had a ceaser salad and that's about it. A lady approached our table and asked if we wanted to try some crab jalapeno peppers and I took one. I wish they would've had them on the food bar because I could've had like ten of them. None of the food on the bar went empty so I would say the cooks did a great job. Most the hot food was hot except the fish. Overall I was a little disappointed. Would I go again? Yea but probably for dinner I hear they have steak and I'd like to give it a try.
