What's new

Golden Corral adds new chocolate fountains

How does that really work anyway? Because the place is open all day, right? Would they boot you out if they noticed you were lingering for hours upon hours?

Not if you're in good with the manager.

I talk to all the servers, let the manager know (in a helpful way) when certain foods are running low, try to help keep the lines moving during busy hours, and if I'm not eating and I see a busser clearing a huge table I'll go over and lend a hand.

BOTTOM LINE: If the General Manager of the restaurant sees you as an asset, they'll look the other way on meal time straddles. This is certainly not the case with Chuck a Rama, and they have lost my business because of it.
 
Smart, but that seems like a lot of work. I think maybe loading up a backup or two with some leftovers and heading to the library to loiter/chow down is the better strategy.

Not sure if srs but the Golden Corral's in Utah don't have libraries.
 
I've typically found that your average middle of the road chain restaurant has better tasting, better quality food for less than the all-you-can-eat prices of a buffet, and I'm typically very full or take some of my food home. The all-you-can-eat aspect doesn't improve the value a whole lot for me.

So do i. But i don't get a little bit of everything at the average place.

Don't get me wrong, as a general rule buffets just aren't for me. Outside.of the free meal in Wendover, I've not been to a buffet or salad bar of any type in probably 4 years.

But i feel more like crap after judging those at a buffet, than after eating at one.

Point taken.
 
Buffets aren't necessarily cheaper. Most the time they aren't. It also isn't good for you gorge yourself.
 
What GC you hittin up, ugs? We should all take a Jazzfanz field trip there sometime soon.

I cycle through a few around the valley.

Believe it or not the freshness of the food can vary huge depending on what day you go to each establishment. This is another instance where good relations with the staff can pay off huge.

Please tell me you are joking about all this. At first I assumed you were but now Im not so sure.

Maybe G.C. doesn't have the absolute freshest food, but still makes a big difference because they do save leftovers.

So a quick call to a manager or a good server can tell you what's going to be fresh and what might be held over from the day before.

Maybe overboard for some, but I'm kind of picky with my buffets.
