There's a Golden Corral a few miles from me. All you can eat. Last time I went i had five full plates. Meat loaf, spaghetti and meat balls, pizza, macaroni and cheese. Even managed an ice cream swirl on top of a carrot cake at the end. LOL. I got stuffed for two days at least. Only thing that was pricey were the soda refills. I was enjoying that ice cold Coca-Cola a little too much.
I went to a GC once and it was the worst buffet I've ever been to. They're like the Denny's of buffets.
