GC is, to a real restaurant, what KFC is to fried chicken, it would probably kill FB 2.

We call it "The Trough" because of the pigs who eat there. Seniors eat for about $8 from 1 - 4 pm, or about $13 for dinner. It isn't great, it varies in quality from visit to visit, but it's okay. Am what am, as we say. I've been calling it the Golden Trough for years, and for the same reason. It's the highest concentration of blubber in town. ^^^This^^^ I eat there once about every 5 years or so.

My wife won a $25.00 gift certificate to Golden Corral, so a few nights ago we figured we would go have supper there, haven't been in one for years. When we got to the cash register, we were astounded to find that supper for two was $38.00 bucks!!!  Got to looking at the ticket, my glass of water was $2.75. Food was standard tasteless mess hall buffet, I got a piece of chicken but was so greasy I couldn't eat it. Had some veggies and a little piece of pie. Anyway, we could have gone to a real restaurant for $38.00, no more GC for us. Used to be THE place to go for an inexpensive meal, lots of seniors went there regularly .

I only go there if my only objective is to fill up. The food's all bland,the salad bar isn't very fresh, and it galls me to pay over 2 bucks for a drink. Old Country Buffet is the same way. One the other hand, there's a steak house near here where you can get a full lunch with a good burger, fries and a drink for $4.00. Steak dinner runs from about $9.00 to $15.00. It's not a date kind of place-you don't go for the ambiance. They obviously do it on volume. They're always busy, and their customer service is superb. The same folks working the line have been there for decades. Sometimes cheap doesn't always mean "no good."

$18 a head? Must of been steak and shrimp night.
It’s a great deal for those that miss the high school cafeteria.

That's nothing.....I was watching TV this afternoon when a commercial for one of those Chicken joints (Popeye's IIRC) came on......the first thing you see is two young "men" lean across the table and kiss each other on the lips.

Long time ago, 1989, got Caught in a real bad storm outside of bossier city, la and delayed for a couple hours on I20. We stopped late at the GC there. You cannot imagine nor unsee the fattest nastiest folks that waddle into and out of there when it’s dark and late. I wanted to puke in the parking lot. I’ve never eaten at one since.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

Next time your wife wins a coupon, give it to a fat person you don't like.
$38.00 should fill you up with decent chow at a Cracker Barrel. Not AYCE, but plenty, and edible, though it's been a while since I ate at one.

Golden Corral sucks. Chuck-A-Rama is where it’s at. Now there's one that I haven't thought about in a long time. The nearest one is in Boise, about 130 miles from here. My dad used to like to go there.
