Update-( April 2024) we tried it again, I mean it's been awhile( 5 yrs) ..and whew.. so much worse. Food was cold, gross, texture all wrong. Place was dirty, plates, cups and utensils dirty. No hand sanitizer. Most of it was inedible, spent 80$ and had to go elsewhere to eat. Reached out to corporate and no response. Save yourselves, from food poisoning.. your wallet from being drained.. and your self respect as.. no human should eat what ever that was they call food. Reading some of the other reviews, makes me wonder if they are asking staff or paying people to post?I wouldn't choose to go this location again. Cashiers and wait staff were kind and on the ball. Marjority of the food was eh.. Bourbon chicken tasted burnt , okra was soggy, tortilla's were hard. The chocolate fountain was a crusted over pool, no filtration, no "fountain".. just eww. The salad was decent though!

I got a FRESH yeast roll as they were being brought out. When I got back to my table and started to eat it, then it was hard.

You can't beat the selection of food! For lunch, I had the pot roast with corn, string beans, fried okra, and hushpuppies. Then had some fruit with cottage cheese, followed by ice cream and cake. Everything was delicious!! My husband loves the fried chicken, pinto beans and cornbread. It is a popular buffet, so it's a little loud and you basically serve yourself!

Went to GC yesterday to eat, only reason I had not eaten any real food since Sunday past. Even then the food I ate was terrible. Anyways GC was closest place to eat. So I went. It close in approximity Well everyone else is saying the food is over cooked this may be true to some extent, the other part they may have not thought of the food is over cooked cause it's been cooked already, it recooked because the food is left overs. Perhaps 2 or 3days or little longer. Definitely taste processed as well. Everything has pork in it. The fruit was fresh fruit mixed w old fruit that's spoiled. Alot of stuff at the salad bar has other kinds of little food their buckets. So I didn't eat alot of the extra toppings to put on My salad. The other customers did not use the sanitary gloves to serve their selves their foods, after serving their selves and not using sanitary gloves the tongs ends ìn the each dish wish is unsanitary. The rug is a big damn drab. It stinks so bad. When I walked in their after paying I was like what is that smell. I was like something doesn't smell right. So I know haven't eaten. Moved away from being close to any bathroom but it wasn't that it was smell thru out the restaurant. GC just opened,( remind You of this). Said that to say this, why was the food so horrible? I mean HORRIBLE, not only HORRIBLE, but was was the food not HOT ?? NOT FRESH.This is a all You can eat so it shouldn't be any leftovers really? They had cooked leftovers served it to the customers, talking g about fried foods and stuff. Mixing leftovers w so called fresh food. Question, why is the cat fush when eating it so soft, like way to soft, it has no firmness even after being fried and served. I can tell. Before one time came there the baked or broiled chicken was no good. Nope won't be going back I do expect a refund. They need to clean out those drains so it doesn't smell in there, the water is starting to taste funny. The health department needs to do a health inspection. Cause the romaine salad tasted funny because they use the water to wash them off. The need to start leaving last time restaurants had a health inspection on the front doors of the restaurants. Save some people ti.e and money, what was their restaurant grade. Stop wiping down the table w the same rags and washing the tables w real soap and water.
