@michael perry different suppliers probably. Even if they're in the same city, they can have different suppliers! Since they depend on fresh ingredients to make it (unlike McDonald's who sends their stuff in pre-made frozen), they have to have suppliers bring the food, and no two are the same because of that.

A few years ago I went to the Golden Corral in Tifton, Ga. on a Sunday. The line was out the door and most were African Americans coming from church. With all of them there I knew the food had to be good. OMG, I liked to have killed myself with food. I have never had better food anywhere. Now my hometown Golden Corral has stepped up their game and the food there is just about as good. The prices have gone up there but my town is growing and most places charge $15 or more for a meal.

The chicken breasts are huge and hot with the perfect amount of crispness. The mash potatoes and gravy taste home made. The seafood is consistently good.

The next visit the food was average. The third trip the food there was horrible! We refuse to eat at the Golden Corral ever again. The nearest Home TownBuffet is over an hour away. Before closing its doors, the nearest location was only 10-15 minutes away. And I don't understand why they closed it because it was always busy. Boy do we miss the HomeTown Buffet!

The Newport News Shoney's used to do a fairly decent breakfast buffet in the 2000s, although we still frequented the Golden Corral in Williamsburg for breakfast because it was closer and just better overall back then. The Shoney's closed in 2015.

There's this local pizza buffet called Gatti-Land(now known as Gatti-Town) that also doubles as an arcade. I remember the pizzas there being good and their salads being alright. I fondly remember them serving chocolate pizzas around night they were so good

Worked in the kitchens at our local Golden Corral, Shoney's, and Ryan's in my youth. Wife worked at CiCi's. Of the four, Golden Corral had the least amount of pre-processed food and was the cleanest/best maintained. You actually learned recipes for making all the buffet items. I liked when they finally went with their open kitchen concept. You can view most of the food prep and kitchen from the dining area if you so choose. (I guess CiCi's has that too, lol) The Ryan's I worked at was almost 100's pre-processed frozen food. Almost everything came off a truck frozen. Shoney's was for breakfast or to order off the grill. Their lunch/dinner buffet was an add-on to an entree at best unless it was seafood night. Breakfast was good though, at least until the local Golden Corral started their breakfast buffet up. Of the four restaraunts, only one is still open twenty years later. It's the Golden Corral. And I still eat there on occasion.

If you havent been to Shady Maple Smorgasbord in New Holland, get there. It's amazing.

The best all i can eat buffet i ever had is surprisingly my college dorm dining hall. They always had 4 types of pizzas (chesse, pepperoni, vegetarian special and non vegetarian special, an outstanding salad bar, the special entree for the day (vegetarian version and non-vegetarian) from the world cusine, choice of burger (including black bean) with side of sweet potato or potato fries, asian inspired section (with entrees like kung pao tofu, General Tso’s tempeh etc.) and a weekly sushi bar! Also open is a salad bar with fresh vegetables, meats and cold pastas, 2 different hot soups, and an always open (my favorite) yogurt bar. Breakfast stands for waffles/toasts/cereals (including vegan milk options) were always open. dessert bar usually included the best ever Mojo cookies, two special deserts (including to-die-for nuetella crepes with fresh strawberries), and fresh cut fruits. And dont forget the soft serve. All this for under $15/ all you can eat. Man, UofM Ann Arbor spoiled me badly.

My worst buffets are these; Golden Corral Wyatt's Cafeteria (this location in my town closed down literally overnight without prior warning to the restaurant staff) back in early 1993. Chinese Buffet- again like the rest this closed down pretty much after having been in business for only 3 months due to multiple health code violations and the fact that employees were chopping vegetables on the floor in the kitchen area and the restaurant itself wasn't clean at all. KFC had a buffet in a town where I used to live out of state years ago. The buffet was standard re-heated leftovers and the employees frowned on people going thru a second time. It was quickly taken out and the location went under in 2012. The best buffets I ever dined at in the 80's were Western Sizzlin and Bonanza, both of which are long since defunct.

Did PH really very recently drop dessert pizza, from all restaurant locations still doing the lunch buffet? If so they are shooting their foot doing that, since the dessert pizza was always among the things I MOST looked forward to eating, whenever I went to PH for their lunch buffet. Sadly to say, the last time(late 2000s?) I ate at one with the buffet that it had fallen so much from what it used to be, that I never went back to their PH buffet ever again. :(

Ok, over here in Oregon we don't have a Huhot Mongolian Grill but we have similar to that Restaurant called Chang's Mongolian Grill its pretty much the same setup.

You can ask to have any kind of pizza made during the buffet at Pizza Hut .

I wasnt born when Golden Corral was in long Island But one day we went to North Carolina and we went there It was amazing and now I want it

My hubby and 3 daughters have traveled all over USA on family trips since the beginning of our marriage till today, as 2 daughters are grownups and our baby is now in high school, we sometimes would theme our dinner stops, and one trip between Indiana and Florida we stopped at 4 golden corrals, one location in either Tennessee or Georgia, was THE BEST EVER, it had so many good options for meat, and i tasted each one, or tried too, lol 14 different kinds, and it had good southern sides. It was very clean, huge, well managed and we had so many good foods there, it was like A 5 star, compared to at best a 1.5 to 2 stars at all the others, its been a good 10 years since that trip but i never forget how wonderful it was,

Sadly the Old Country Buffet in Westland, Michigan ceased operations some years ago. Besides decent food and attentive staff, dear would come up to windows and feed. And this was in downtown.

When I was in Tokyo I used to splurge on Sizzler every once in a while because they had piles of pineapple slices at the salad bar. Pineapple used to be hideously expensive in Japan and I always got my money's worth....

There hasn't been a Souper Salad in my town in 20+ years, but back when there was, it was awesome! They had the best fresh baked bread & rolls, and their Sausage & Rice soup, Beef Stew, and Gumbo were all excellent. Maybe I just got lucky with the location I went to, but I do miss it!

They were the Leader in that concept in some parts of the country. Unlike then....EVERY restaurant chain now has a variety of BIG SALADS that are reasonably well done at about the same price point of Souper Salad's buffet concept. Salad Eaters are not Gluttens. Bisquit and Gravy Eaters are Gluttens. Jason't Deli is sort of an evolution of the Super Salad thing, bringing in many items that appeal to more people.

I suppose it may vary by location, but I took a friend to one for Christmas and the experience was very nice.

The Golden Corral in my city has good food but the floors and tables still have residue from when the last people sat there on every single table and the floor is littered with small bits of food a drink stains.

We had a Ryans in Millington TN that was awesome,, everything was hot, and fresh and I loved eating lunch there,, then they decided to close the store, and fire all the employees a few years ago for no reason. This store was right outside a Navy Base and was always had a good crowd. I sure wish they would make another buffet there because it was very good,,

I liked Pizza Hut when you could buy a lunchtime pizza and have a salad buffet. It was such a good deal that I think that's why they stopped it.

It's good to see that Pizza Ranch's infamy has reached a national level. lol

If you want to go to the Sizzler, in Mesa Az, all the food is WELL DONE! Place burned down, about 6 weeks ago. Golden Corral, (Golden Hog trough) has breakfast here, from 7 AM to 10:30 AM. If you get in at about 10:00, or a bit earlier, the menu switches from breakfast to lunch, and you don't have to pay again. (Breakfast comes with free drinks and refills, after that, you have to pay. But, if you have an empty glass, refills are STILL free.) steve

I remember when the first Golden Corral open in Minnesota. The line was 2 block long. I finally tried it 3 months after. I can say it put all of the Old Country Buffet to shame.

My dad owned two of The Golden Corral steak houses one in Orlando Florida and one in Winter Garden Florida. I love Golden Corral . At dinner time nobody wanted to eat the same thing so going to Golden Corral was easier to satisfy each person at least one day a week. I think the prices are a little high then what they should be. I remember that all you can eat was $9.99 at the Golden Corral . It has gotten expensive for an average family of four.
