Golden Corral Humble Texas

Back in 2000-2003, a girl I know, and myself used to make trips to the Golden Corral on Fm 1960. It was a treat for us to go to Golden Coral once a week. We lived in an apartment less than a mile a mile away, so the whole trip was no work or effort.

Today I made a trip back to the old Golden Corral. Right off the bat I am freaking out. This is a buffet and the cost for two people is $26. At a buffet!???? I step up to get my food and there is a scrambled angry mass. You have people standing in front of food reaching three feet away to grab food from another location. They all get upset when you reach past them. It’s like some weird co-op prison scene. It’s a buffet people, you get your food you move. You just move to the location of what you want, quit camping on the squash you weirdo.

We make it to the table and realize we forgot the utensils. So we get up to grab forks and knives. Not one fork, not one knife. not one regular spoon, they are all huge funky shaped (looking like you scoop sugar with em) spoons. So now I am upset, but we get back to our table, and now the guy working there comes to me and tells me they are closing that section. I understand he has to close it so I thank him and relocate, He offered to let me go ahead and sit there, but I really didn’t want to get the guy in trouble. I sit at a table that I seem to have to share with another family. The waitress {thing}(it’s a buffet is she still considered a waitress or is there another name for them?) comes over there and asks if I need anything. ” Yeah I would like a fork”. She says “???????”. So I said it again, she was still puzzled, so I did the fork motion, because she clearly didn’t understand me. So I puff “If you do not speak the language do not ask the question”. I am not one of those people who are all about ” Learn the language”. I am about if you are asking me a question in a language, be prepared for me to answer the question in that language. I had to actually make fork motions with my hand. Because she could not understand me.

Finally she brings forks to the table. No way I am using that dang thing. So now I get up and grab a steak. I bring the steak to the table and by the time I sit down, the plate is smothered in blood. My potatoes are red from so much blood.

I shove the plate to the side and go grab chicken and a baked potato. The chicken was crunchy to the center. I was finally getting some food in me but I have to shove the chicken aside. It’s not safe that crunchy, I could have picked my teeth with the splinters of meat. So now I am at a point of giving up. I get up from my seat and hear the lady loading fresh utensils into the fork tray. So I run and grab two forks now while I can.

So now I am eating a salad. The salad was actually good. Maybe I was really hungry.

As a place of business, that calls it’s self Golden CORRAL
This place is the least civilized restaurant I have been to in quite some time. You truly feel as if you are going to get in a fight over an over cooked chicken wing, and the wait staff will not do anything because they are burned out from the amount stress they have faced.
Paid 26 dollars at Golden Corral for two plates and got less than what I would have gotten at Kentucky Fried Chicken or Popeye’s or Taco bell. Half of the food was undercooked while the rest of it was over cooked. Except for the salad and the baked potato. I left the house thinking I was going to a good meal. I got a salad and a potato.

My stomach has been hurting and really badly swollen all day since.

Now for my totally and completely useless unprofessional untrained opinion, score, that you should never base your decision on.
10 is the best and 0 is the worst.
Value per cost: 3/10
Taste: 3/10
cleanliness: 3/10

Final Total score 3/10

I will never go back to that Golden Corral. They need police in that place.
