I notice this location is clean and maintains fresh food only when the owner is present. Those responsible really need to attain and maintain a rewarding dining consistency to the customers out of his presence who is by the way a GREAT man who seemingly cares about the customers. I love Golden Corral, but I desire to see it reach the heights of excellency. The management at this location have great customer relation skills, however the cooks and those associated with preparing the food must be a little more proficient. Lastly, the servers are nice. I hope this is really being taken into serious consideration.
