I ate at Golden Corral for the first time ever tonight.
Quite an experience. I wasn't familiar with the process, but it turned out just to be a bunch of departments for the buffet. Just go up, although at one point it looked like people were in lines.
The food was good. The seating arrangement not so good. I can see why they call it Corral. Just tables and you're very close, to the point of being suffocated by your neighbors. No real privacy and as busy as any restaurant can be. I had several near crashes with people in the place since it was packed.
I won't go there on a Saturday evening again, that's for sure.
(The steak guy also puts a tiny, small piece of meat on your plate. They don't want to over satisfy you.)
