Yes, Golden Corral is the most disgusting "restaurant" in existence I think. Went there (not my choice) a week ago for the first time and it was beyond disgusting! I could barely eat it. And while I admit I have high end tastes in food, I am not so snobby that I can't also eat some good old low-brow food. I have no problem with my hillbilly family reunion with their jello salads and what not. But GC does not even register on the "edible" meter. blech blech blech!

I've never been to Golden Corral. Is it worse than Old Country Buffet?

I can't believe anything is worse than the Old Country Buffet just west of Devon. Holy god that was an experience. Which Golden Corral is particularly gross? - I wouldn't mind exploring.

Old country buffet in lincoln wood is closed and it was horrible they want downhill over the past 15 years. I have to say Golden Coral is not as bad as some say they have real mashed potatoes. I think people that are complaining had a bad experiance most Golden Corals are very dirty. I have found a couple that are very clean the one near Alguanquin is clean. When i was on a road trip was at a golden coral in northern florida that was great.

Every once in awhile you have to try and you will find some good food and you will eat so much you will wish you never went.



BUt it is not horrible even the dirty ones have the same tasting food. YOu have to go when busy so fresh food keeps coming out. And I really do not even think it taste canned if its canned its good canned food no metal taste but anyways

i think places like golden coral are a class thing lower middle class palet. To expensive for poor to nast for the rich perfect for lower middle class. I like a women thar will try anything so if I met a women that would not try golden coral once and get in the weeds with all the buffet goers and germs she would not be someone I would date.

Brazilian steakhouses are technically all-you-can-eat buffets.

I will try basically anything but any guy that asked me to go to GC would be someone I wouldn't date. And not because I'm a snob that is only interested in rich guys/fancy places. But if someone actually thinks GC has decent food, well, that would mean that person was just too different from me to contemplate a serious relationship.

Thankfully I am married and my DH despises GC as much as I do.....

In your list of top five deal-breakers, where would Golden Corral lie? I guess I was the same way with Carribou Coffee due to its ties to the First Islamic Investment Bank and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi.
