Golden Corral

OK - a visit to a new place.  Well, not actually a "new" place as I have been to this location before, but I have not previously written about it.  Tonight was dinner at Golden Corral in Hoover, AL. 

Of course, Golden Corral is a buffet - so you have all you can eat and then some.  After 4:00 PM, they have pan seared seafood.  My friend actually had the pan seared shrimp.  Aside from being a bit spicy, they were apparently pretty good. 

I had the challenge tonight of having a "tooth" issue - a whole 'nother story - but I had to find "soft" foods.  Of course, at Golden Corral, there is such a wide variety of choices, that was not hard.  I normally have the steak, but that was out for me.  I did, however, have meat loaf, creamed potatoes and mac n' cheese.  All were very good.  Of course, I managed one of the big yeast rolls - I mean what's dinner without one of those?

Other items around the table varied from Brussels sprouts, steak, chicken, fried okra and some other items.  Desserts were just as varied.  There was brownies, apple pie, banana pudding, as well as strawberries and pineapple dipped in the chocolate waterfall. I, of course, stuck with the apple pie for tonight.  But, oh the pineapple dipped in chocolate looked just too good!!  The only complain that I heard concerned the banana pudding.  The person who had that said there were only two things wrong with it:  1) it had no bananas, and 2) it didn't taste like bananas.  So I guess the banana pudding was not the best choice.

Service was good and, overall, the food was very good.  I look forward to going back again.
