Last time I went was for lunch and the floors were wet and the people were shuffling around. Looking all depressing and It was sad. A woman with a takeout box was talking to her friend about how much more value it is to buy food by the pound there and was filling her container with just mash potatoes and gravy.

It's a hell of a place.

My grandparents always took my family there for birthdays, the key is to find the one or two things that aren't bland garbage and just eat a bunch of that. I don't remember what those things are, I think once they had chicken fried steak that was actually decent.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
It's cool if you can enjoy the dinner theater without being put off your food. The grub itself is passable. The clam chowder has been good for years and there are some other things to eat there that are not just grease and sauce.

You'll feel super depraved when going in and coming out, but we are in a late empire hedonism phase anyway. Might as well live it.

dad gay. so what posted:

do not go there ever

My parents took me there when I went to visit a bunch of times until I pretty much kind of indicated that every single time I ate there it felt immediately afterwards like I pounded a jar full of grease.

Seriously, I like buffet places and salad bars and poo poo if they're good, and GC is odd because it doesn't taste that bad initially.. but ten minutes or so in, the illusion shatters and you realize you're eating pure poo poo

Golden Corral isn't that bad as far as cheap buffets go. You can do much worse - ryan's grill, whistle junction (if it still exists - the one I knew of got closed down), etc make golden corral look like fine dining. e: also basically any chinese/japanese buffet that's in a small town/ right off the interstate

I mean yeah it's extremely greasy, but I don't think any reasonable person has ever gone into such an establishment expecting a healthy meal. The stuff off the grill is usually alright, although the steaks are almost always overcooked/tough no matter how you tell him to cook it, and there are at least some "healthy" (relatively) things that aren't deep fried if you're that concerned about the grease content. I wouldn't bother with the cooked vegetables though - bland canned stuff boiled until it's mush and swimming in butter so what's the point.

Why do I always want to sock it to you so hard?
Golden Corral makes Applebees look 5 star. The one that used to be near me got closed several times for a bunch of health code violations, including rat infestations. Then it mysteriously burned down and never reopened.

You can put liquid cheese on anything from the golden corral.

Green beans and liquid cheese?

Done.

Baked potato with liquid cheese?

Hell yeah.

Broccoli with liquid cheese?

Yes!

Liquid cheese with liquid cheese served in a bowl?

Yes! How often do you serve yourself liquid cheese at home.

Never?

Head to the corral, the GOLDEN corral.

The Unbearable Whiteness of Eating
They keep food 3x longer than is safe and when the health inspectors come they cart out the expired green food to the dumpster area out back. Also it's all basically institution-grade food, think nursing homes or just a step up from prison food. Hope your stomach is an iron shark diving cage.

It's a great restaurant for hard working lower middle class Americans and minority families and everybody is having a great time and kids love it dad loves it granddad loves it and the food is normal and fresh and cleanly prepared.

So if your a spoiled millennial poo poo head who has to have everything app branded and wrapped in 15 layers of ironic nostalgia just stay away.

I almost ate at a golden corral once but as I was standing in line it was full of youths screaming and the 3 girls' hair in front of me smelled so much like piss I nearly vomited and lost my appetite. It was a zoo. Ended up at Fiveguys instead.

Don't really know if the food was any good but the atmosphere was not conducive to a happy dining experiencing.

It's the best restaurant on earth if you're white trash. If you're not white trash, go some place else.

This should be obvious since Jeff Foxworthy has been their spokesman for years.

Hey dgsw I am sorry to hear you are being picked on at work. I wish I could come by and pick you up after work and take you out for a nice spaghetti dinner. Then me and you can talk about it, and if you tell me something really juicey about one of your co workers I can non chalantly bring it up in conversation later to show you I was listening.
