Cheap steaks, rude peeps cutting in line for food, kids running wild at the ice cream counter, dirty tables etc.....

I went there one time and that was enough. They had tasteless nasty bland old folks home food at best. The only thing missing in that place was a trough.

So much of this - I saw a girl reach into the gummy bears at the soft-serve station and lost all respect for Golden Corral. I always had heard that happened but never thought I'd witness it.

In fact Golden Corral lost all of my respect in about 1989 when they troughed it up rather than 'cook to order' -- I actually liked ordering things like Chopped steak as a child w/ that bun thing.

The trough has ruined any props I though Golden Corral once deserved.

We go there every once in a while. Its really the only 'american' buffet around here. And its DAMN American.

Food was decent, portions large. have to eat tons to feel like you get the value for your money. I went 2 or 3 Sundays ago and they where doing the Sunday carvers menu, so I had carved ham and turkey, and of course a steak and rolls and every other little side dish imaginable. Was fine, steak was good and cooked perfectly. As always, had a huge ice cream sundae with too much sugary toppings.

20 bucks for two people. You could do worse.

Yeah, it's bad. I think the one here in town went out of business. At one point they had a few food poisoning incidents. The one time I went in there it looked like the management team went out of their way to staff up with Americas Most Wanted. Rank chow, food poisoning and a shady looking staff was a unique business plan.

Id soon go see a Carnival Freak show as to see one in Golden Corrals or Home Town Buffet.

Once saw a guy in Home Town bring back a big plate of plain Spaghetti pasta then take the ketchup from table and slather it. He proceeded to fork it down with great gusto. Like WTF you would rather eat ketchup pasta instead of spaghetti sauce.

Then there is the parents that let there 3 year old's graze unattended while they shove shitty food down there gullets.

At times when hungover, a nice breakfast buffet would be a good option because you can just pay, go get some food and not have to deal with wait staff or any long waits for your breakfast. We tried Golden Corral for this. It was a mistake. My god, I had no idea a restaurant could put out such disgusting "food" and yes, the customers appearance was as disgusting as the food was.

Now on Saturdays we stick with Cracker Barrel, Jimmies Egg, The Beacon or Jimmies Diner.

I do wish we could find a nice, quality buffet for an option though.

Ha, awesome. When I was dating the wife, we had been out all day at a lake and were headed home. Neither of us felt like cooking, so I suggested a Golden Corral that was by my place. She said, and I quote - "YAY! Trough style!" Then rolled her eyes, haha.

You just HAD to bring up Ryan's steakhouse. They apparently have superb management.

http://www.ihos.com/steakhouse.html

Now, I know that there is a lot of embellishment that occurs on this group and I am aware that a small number of things are perhaps sheer fabrication, but I have a story to tell that is the absolute truth. Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me.

A couple of weeks ago we decided to cruise out to Ryan's Steakhouse for dinner. It was a Wednesday night which means that macaroni and beef was on the hot bar, indeed the only night of the week that it is served. Wednesday night is also kid's night at Ryan's, complete with Dizzy the Clown wandering from table to table entertaining the little bastards. It may seem that the events about to be told have little connection to those two circumstances, but all will be clear in a moment.

We went through the line and placed our orders for the all-you-can-eat hot bar then sat down as far away from the front of the restaurant as possible in order to keep the density of kids down a bit. Then I started my move to the hot bar. Plate after plate of macaroni and beef were consumed that evening, I tell you -- in all, four heaping plates of the pseudo-Italian ambrosia were shoved into my belly. I was sated. Perhaps a bit too much, however.

I had not really been feeling well all day, what with a bit of gas and such. By the time I had eaten four overwhelmed plates of food, I was in real trouble. There was so much pressure on my diaphragm that I was having trouble breathing. At the same time, the downward pressure was building. At first, I thought it was only gas which could have been passed in batches right at the table without to much concern. Unfortunately, that was not to be. After a minute or so it was clear that I was dealing with explosive diarrhea. It's amazing how grease can make its way through your intestines far faster than the food which spawned the grease to begin with, but I digress...

I got up from the table and made my way to the bathroom. Upon entering, I saw two sinks immediately inside the door, two urinals just to the right of the sinks, and two toilet stalls against the back wall. One of them was a handicapped bathroom. Now, normally I would have gone to the handicapped stall since I like to stretch out a bit when I take a good shit, but in this case, the door lock was broken and the only thing I hate worse than my wife telling me to stop cutting my toenails with a pair of diagonal wire cutters is having someone walk in on me while I am taking a shit. I went to the normal stall.

In retrospect, I probably should have gone to the large, handicapped stall even though the door would not lock because that bit of time lost in making the stall switch proved to be a bit too long under the circumstances. By the time I had walked into the regular stall, the pressure on my ass was reaching Biblical proportions.

I began "The Move."

For those women who may be reading this, let me take a moment to explain "The Move." Men know exactly what their bowels are up to at any given second. And when the time comes to empty the cache, a sequence of physiological events occur that can not be stopped under any circumstances. There is a move men make that involves simultaneously approaching the toilet, beginning the body turn to position ones ass toward said toilet, hooking ones fingers into ones waistline, and pulling down the pants while beginning the squat at the same time. It is a very fluid motion that, when performed properly, results in the flawless expulsion of shit at the exact same second that ones ass is properly placed on the toilet seat. Done properly, it even assures that the choad is properly inserted into the front rim of the toilet in the event that the piss stream lets loose at the same time; it is truly a picture of coordination rivaling that of a skilled ballet dancer.

I was about half-way into "The Move" when I looked down at the floor and saw a pile of vomit that had been previously expelled by one of those little bastards attending kids night; it was mounded up in the corner so I did not notice it when I had first walked into the stall. Normally, I would not have been bothered by such a thing, but I had eaten so much and the pressure upward was so intense, that I hit a rarely experienced gag reflex. And once that reflex started, combined with the intense pressure upward caused by the bloated stomach, four plates of macaroni and beef started coming up for a rematch. What happened next was so quick that the exact sequence of events are a bit fuzzy, but I will try to reconstruct them as best I can.

In that moment of impending projectile vomiting, my attention was diverted from the goings-on at the other end. To put a freeze frame on the situation, I was half crotched down to the toilet, pants pulled down to my knees, with a load of vomit coming up my esophagus. Now, most of you know that vomiting takes precedence over shit no matter what is about to come slamming out of your ass. It is apparently an evolutionary thing since shitting will not kill you, but vomiting takes a presence of mind to accomplish so that you do not aspirate any food into the bronchial tubes and perhaps choke to death. My attention was thus diverted.

At that very split second, my ass exploded in what can only be described as a wake...you know, as in a newspaper headline along the lines of "30,000 Killed In Wake of Typhoon Fifi" or something similar. In what seemed to be most suitably measured in cubic feet, an enormous plug of shit the consistency of thick mud with embedded pockets of greasy liquid came flying out of my ass. But remember, I was only half-way down on the toilet at that moment. The shit wave was of such force and of just such an angle in relation to the back curve of the toilet seat that it ricocheted off the back of the seat and slammed into the wall at an angle of incidence equal to the angle at which it initially hit the toilet seat. Then I sat down.

Recall that when that event occurred, I was already half-way to sitting anyway and had actually reached the point of no return. I have always considered myself as relatively stable gravitationally, but when you get beyond a certain point, you're going down no matter how limber you may be. Needless to say, the shit wave, though of considerable force, was not so sufficient so as to completely glance off the toilet seat and deposit itself on the walls, like what you would see when hitting a puddle with a high-pressure water hose; even though you throw water at the puddle, the puddle gets moved and no water is left to re-form a puddle. There was a significant amount of shit remaining on about one-third of the seat rim which I had now just collapsed upon.

Now, back to the vomit...

While all the shitting was going on, the vomit was still on its way up. By the time I had actually collapsed on the toilet, my mouth had filled up with a goodly portion of the macaroni and beef I had just consumed. OK, so what does the human body instinctively do when vomiting? One bends over. So I bent over. I was still sitting on the toilet, though. Therefore, bending over resulted in me placing my head above my now slightly-opened legs, positioned in between my knees and waist. Also directly above my pants which were now pulled down to a point just midway between my knees and my ankles. Oh, did I mention that I was wearing not just pants, but sweat pants with elastic on the ankles.

In one mighty push, some three pounds of macaroni and beef, two or three Cokes, and a couple of Big, Fat Yeast Rolls were deposited in my pants...on the inside...with no ready exit at the bottom down by my feet.

In the next several seconds, there were a handful of farts, a couple of turds, and the event ended, yet I was now sitting there with my pants full of vomit, my back covered in shit that had bounced off the toilet, spattered on three ceramic-tiled walls to a height of about five feet, and still had enough force to come back at me, covering the back of my shirt with droplets of liquid shit. All while thick shit was spread all over my ass in a ring curiously in the shape of a toilet seat.

And there was no fucking toilet paper.

What could I do but laugh. I must have sounded like a complete maniac to the guy who then wandered into the bathroom. He actually asked if I was OK since I was laughing so hard I must have sounded like I was crying hysterically. I calmed down just enough to ask him if he would get the manager. And told him to have the manager bring some toilet paper. When the manager walked in, he brought the toilet paper with him, but in no way was prepared for what happened next. I simply told him that there was no way I was going to explain what was happening in the stall, but that I needed several wet towels and I needed him to go ask my wife to come help me. I told him where we were sitting and he left. At that point, I think he was probably assuming that I had pissed just a bit in my pants or something similarly benign.

About two minutes later, my wife came into the bathroom not knowing what was wrong and with a certain amount of worry in her voice. I explained to her (still laughing and having trouble getting out words) that I had a slight accident and needed her help. Knowing that I had experienced some close calls in the past, she probably assumed that I had laid down a small turd or something and just needed to bring the car around so we could bolt immediately. Until I asked her, I'm sure she had no idea that she was about to go across the street and purchase me new underwear, new socks, new pants, a new shirt, and (by that time due to considerable leakage around the elastic ankles thingies) new sneakers. And she then started to laugh herself since I was still laughing. She began to ask for an explanation as to what had happened when I promised her that I would tell her later, but that I just needed to handle damage control for the time being. She left.

The manager then came back in with a half-dozen wet towels and a few dry ones. I asked him to also bring a mop and bucket upon which he assured me that they would clean up anything that needed to be cleaned. Without giving him specific details, I explained that what was going on in that stall that night was far in excess of what I would expect anyone to deal with, what with most of the folks working at Ryan's making minimum wage of just slightly above. At that moment, I think it dawned on him exactly the gravity of the situation. Then that manager went so far above the call of duty that I will be eternally grateful for his actions. He hooked up a hose.

Fortunately, commercial bathrooms are constructed with tile walls and tile floors and have a drain in the middle of the room in order to make clean up easy. Fortunately, I was in a commercial bathroom. He hooked up the hose to the spigot located under the sink as I began cleaning myself up with the wet towels. Just as I was finishing, my wife got back with the new clothes and passed them into the stall, whereupon I stuffed the previously worn clothing into the plastic bag that came from the store, handing the bag to my wife. I finished cleaning myself off and carefully put on my new clothes, still stuck in the stall since I figured that it would be in bad taste to go out of the stall to get redressed in the event I happened to be standing there naked and some little bastard kid walked in. At that point, I had only made a mess; I had not yet committed a felony and intended to keep it that way.

When I finished getting dressed, I picked up the hose and cleaned up the entire stall, washing down the remains toward the drain in the center of the room. I put down the hose and walked out of the bathroom. I had intended to go to the manager and thank him for all he had done, but when I walked out, three of the management staff were there to greet me with a standing ovation. I started laughing so hard that I thought I was going to throw up again, but managed to scurry out to the car where my wife was now waiting to pick me up by the front door.

The upshot of all this is that I strongly recommend eating dinner at Ryan's Steak House. They have, by far, the nicest management staff of any restaurant in which I have eaten.

Describe your last dining experience at Golden Corral

I just want to say that I'm no germ freak, but I find these buffet places to be barbaric.

What I'm talking about is everyone touching those same tongs. I mean, you people are disgusting. I get a napkin to touch those things.

They don't have any here, but when I visit Missouri to see family I sometimes stop at the one in Sedalia because it is a good stopping point between KC and where some of my family lives at the Lake of the Ozarks.

There was a Golden Corral in my hometown when I was in high school and college, and it was pretty good. They didn't do the buffet thing back then. It was a place where you went and ordered a steak and salad and stuff.

The buffet thing was a mistake from my perspective. I've only been there a couple of times in the buffet era, and the food is not high quality.

The last time was about 5 years ago in Oklahoma City. It was right across from the hotel, so about the 3rd or 4th day i was there I walked on over. I had one plate and left. I wasnt expecting much and nothing was very good that I tried.

The time before that was about 10-12 years ago at the one on Noland in Independence. I got sick/food poisoning there, from the steaks i think.

It was late May during my freshman year in college.

I went to the beach for a week after final exams. When I returned home, I found a letter waiting for me from my college informing us that people who ate at the Golden Corral during a certain set of dates were at risk for Hepatitis.

I had to recreate the timeline, but I ended up missing the dates in question by one day. It's been over two decades since I've dined there...

Nothing says,"I love you Mom" like Golden Corral. Mother's Day circa 2007 at the Golden Corral in Toledo, OH. At the time I was living just a few short miles from this particular GC. This story got some run in the national media.


http://www.toledoblade.com/local/2007/11/02/Woman-guilty-of-assault-in-Golden-Corral-brawl-brother-cleared.html

A woman faces up to six months in jail for her role in a brawl at a local restaurant on Mother s Day that injured several people, after being convicted this afternoon of two charges of assault.

Her brother was found not guilty of charges he faced in the same fight.

Sylvia Harris, 24, was found guilty of two counts of assault, which is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail. Her brother, Stephen Robinson, 21, was found not guilty of all charges.

The two had been charged with two counts each of felonious assault for the May 13 fight at the Golden Corral Restaurant, 5730 Opportunity Dr., that ended with several people hurt.

Among those injured were Christine Lewandowski, 56, and her 90-year-old mother, Sophia.

Witnesses during the trial said that the younger Lewandowski became irritated with the Harris party because the young child seated in a high chair near her was loud. Words were exchanged between the two parties, and that bickering gave way to a physical fight.

Judge Linda Jennings presided over the trial. Sentencing for Ms. Harris was set for Nov. 29.

Fifteen witnesses testified over two days, many offering differing accounts on what was said between Ms. Harris and Christine Lewandowski and who threw the first punch.

Attorney Drew Griffith, who represents Ms. Harris, said during his closing argument yesterday that the testimony proved that his client was defending her 20-month-old daughter when she left her table to confront Christine Lewandowski.

He said Ms. Harris believed her daughter was in danger because Ms. Lewandowski yelled at the child and made what his client perceived as threatening remarks while holding a knife.

He also pointed out that Ms. Lewandowski made "racist" comments, comparing Ms. Harris' three children to "animals." The members of Ms. Harris' family are black, while the Lewandowski women are white.

"Nobody is happy that these women were injured," Mr. Griffith said. "The law provides justification for Sylvia Harris to protect her child, and sympathy for the Lewandowski injuries should not be considered."

Ms. Lewandowski had testified that she asked the family to quiet the child, but that they encouraged the baby to scream louder.

Ms. Harris testified on her own behalf, saying she was angered by Ms. Lewandowski's comments about her child and was concerned because she believed her child was being threatened.

County Assistant Prosecutor Bruce Sorg summed up the case in his closing argument as "adults behaving badly, of both colors." He conceded that jurors may not like Mr. Lewandowski and may disagree with her abrasive behavior on Mother's Day. But he disregarded the notion that she posed any real threat to Ms. Harris' baby.

The only one to make the altercation an issue of race was Ms. Harris' attorney, he added.

"She wasn't just there to protect her child," he said of Ms. Harris. "She was there to get her pound of flesh."

Christine Lewandowski suffered several injuries, including two broken ribs. Her elderly mother, who is on oxygen, had extensive bruising and several bumps on her head.

Attorney John Thebes, who is representing Robinson, said that when he first learned of the Mother's Day brawl, he was "shocked by the lack of civility."

But he said what was more surprising were the charges brought against his client who, he contends, only tried to stop the fight by extracting his sister from the melee.

"Not one of these [witnesses] talked about Stephen Robinson hitting any of these two ladies, and you wonder why I'm mystified," he said in his closing argument. "This case against Stephen is a pursuit of a conviction, not a pursuit of justice."

Last time I went my aunt was taking my dad out for a birthday dinner. I remember like it was last night, It was my aunt, my uncle, my dad, my wife, my daughter, and myself. We decided to take a seat by the pop fountain (a huge mistake). Everything was going good, good conversation and everyone was in a good mood, then I caught my first smell is that shit? Did my daughter poop her diaper? I got up to change this stinky diaper and that's when I seen it right at the pop fountain (which I now refer to as the poop fountain) a grown woman with the biggest shit stain on her cheap sweat pants. I didn't eat there that night and haven't returned to that cursed place ever again. I can still smell that shit stain....

Didn't think it was terrible back in the day... granted, I was a teenager, it's hard to screw up mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, friend chicken, etc; and the desserts were pretty good.

A few months ago I went for the first time in over a decade and was surprised they had Chinese food, wings, and a bunch of other stuff they weren't very good at.... and not surprisingly, that stuff was kind of terrible. The mac and cheese was still good though.

That would be a good commercial, along with people sneezing in the buffet, picking their noses and butts then handling food, screaming babies, old fat white women fighting with young, fat black women, food carts loaded with raw meat sitting outside by the dumpster, and poop stained sweat pants at the soda fountain.
