  I don't think that I would go to Golden Corral if you paid me $7.99.

  Our track coach in college had a booklet which showed where all the buffets were on a map. It wasn't bad back then but maybe that's why I'm grossed out now by the idea of all you can eat feeding troughs.

  The only buffets I will hit up is a breakfast buffet, pizza buffet, or a Chinese buffet.

  Agree. We have a local Chinese that has a hibachi, so you can eat healthy there with nothing deep fried.

  Yeah, all you can eat shrimp, chicken, steak, green peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms prepared in garlic on a grill is pointless.

  1) Chinese
  2) Breakfast
  3) Pizza
  
  
  
  4) Golden Corral/Ryans/Ponderosa and any others out there. I used to love them when I was in high school/college but now I think they are pretty terrible.

  This.

  Don't know whether they exist back east, but out here we have Sweet Tomatoes/SoupPlantation that are awesome buffets. Great salad bar, a good selection of fresh homemade soups, plus some desert and Italian food options (a few pastas, some pizza bread).
  
  I generally don't eat at buffets anymore but I'll make an exception for there.

  My father-in-law LOVES Golden Corral. I think it's gross as shit.
  
  Also, I came really close to shitting my pants after eating at a Chinese buffet...so I am not too keen on those either anymore.

  Duffs sucked.
  
  Hope this helps.

  While I haven't been to a buffet in probably a decade, I would totally eat at a Chinese or Pizza buffet if the mood struck.
  
  That being said, Golden Corral is simply the grossest food establishment in these United States. I remember being repulsed by the obese customers fighting over scraps like pigs at a trough. If Golden Corral was my only option for my final meal on Earth, go ahead and kill my ass before dinner.

  Pretty good assessment on buffets. I'll concur. I'll add a blow-job buffet. Receiving, not giving.

  There is no way in hell I'm going near that place!

  Where's the option for: Meh. It's a buffet, I don't expect the best quality food but I'll eat it anyway.

  Never been to a GC except in the Carolinas in the Eighties and Nineties - they weren't buffets down there at the time. They weren't bad - better than Ponderosa, but a long way from, say, Ruth's Chris.
  
  Chinese buffets scare the crap out of me - while some are very clean, quite a few have serious sanitation problems, particularly the small family-run places. There's a place called the Sunshine Wok here in Hilliard that was closed down for three days last year - the owner was using ice to cool down raw chicken, then dumped the ice into the soda fountain ice dispenser. This happened --during-- the inspection.
  
  Some of these guys come from places without any real concept of sanitation.
  
  Interesting reading link - the Columbus Health Department's website with years of inspection reports.

  This, plus the Myrtle Beach seafood buffets are GOOD

  The week-long casino buffets in Vegas seemed to be a pretty good deal while I was there. $40 and you got your choice of 10 places, unlimited visits.

  If you eat at Golden Corral, then you are a white trash doucher.
  
  Old Country Buffet is fine though.
