Golden Corral

Recommended Posts

The one here on Route 73 (in Berlin?  Voorhees?) opened a few years ago, and my wife and I tried it twice.  Both times, the food was reasonably good and plentiful, but it was EXTREMELY crowded, lines for all the "good" stuff, kids running around unrestrained by parents who didn't seem to care, etc.  

 

In short, a zoo.  We won't be back.

My cousin actually owns the biggest one in Topeka KS, when I visit I eat free haha I love the place. Otherwise when I visit my mom in Virginia Beach VA the place is very good. Never ate at one in jersey.

It's my mother-in-laws favorite rest. so I have been to a few.

The newer ones are ok,   clean, food is ok, the old ones where nasty.

I think they changed things a few years ago.

Freehold should be a good location. I will be there.

Where is it, when will it be opening?

I'm not too fond of the ones I have been to up north around here. When I was stationed down in North Carolina they were awesome.

We frequent the 2 outside Camp Leguene when visiting my son and always let him bring a few buddys along. They really really like it and we do also. Clean, good food and fun. Rarely see undisciplined kids running around in fact most are well behaved, prob has something to do with the heavy military atmosphere.

Was at one a few weeks ago in Charlotte, NC. Zoo is an understatement, at least for that place. They can't keep up with the mess the kids and customers make. So much of the food looked like it was raked over. Its buffet line type food, cheap cuts of meat, but all you can eat, if you dont mind lower quality food. One of our party spent a good 20 minutes recycling. We thought he died and he looked like it when he got back to the table. I have not tried the one in Berlin, but some friends gave it the thumbs down. Doubt I'll give it a try.

The one on the Black Horse Pike in Audubon (in the Korvettes Shopping Center - oops, am I showing my age??) is the pits.

Given that it's the closest one to Camden, is it any wonder?

You just might be. I must be in the same generation. Mine was in the Bronx, off of Bruckner Expwy. and Castle Hill Ave. The 60/70's version of Kohls

The one in Audubon is like an episode of Gangland. MY GF and I went there once with another couple and some dude with a dagger tattooed across is face and his gang (yes, an actual gang) started to try hit on her. I had to spend the rest of the night escorting my GF and my buddy's wife up to the buffet whenever they went.

 

I also once went there during lunch for work and there was a woman that was sitting at the table that must have lived near by and was using a cordless phone at the table.

They just received approval from the town in April so I figure it will be awhile.

 

The location is next to the Friday's on Rt9. Where the giant parking lot is. Apparently there were plans to build a 3 story hotel and a small strip mall and after the developer put in the lot the walked away. I always wondered why there was a giant parking lot for so few businesses.

 

 

Who is John Galt?

I am so excited I figured out how to change my signature.

One in Vineland / Millville boarder is disappointing.  Went once with the family, never again.  Cafeteria food in a cafeteria setting at diner prices.   If you're a big fan of kraft macaroni and cheese and canned string beans - go for it.  It seems busy so somebody must like it.

For breakfast food it's OK, can't screw up pancakes waffles and the like too bad. For anything else it's vomitburg, it's real popular with the 350+ lb crowd.

lol. one time when leaving the Bensalem location there were piles of vomit out side the door at the exit, just about added to the trail

    • I've got copies of mine stashed in different places as well. How comfortable are you that if you needed to show a cop one of the copies, that he wouldn't scrutinize it closely enough to see that it was not the original, and charge you on that basis? After I made about 10 copies (I'm a bit OCD :-) I laminated the original and the copies to hopefully minimize that risk. My original came on the low-quality recycled toilet paper that NJ used for drivers licenses back in the day, so I thought laminating it was a good idea for several reasons. 
    • True enough. What part of this guy's conduct (obtuse though it may have been) would have been analogous to illegal activity in 1789? Picture someone riding his horse home down Manchester Pike from the local tavern, stopping to take a pot shot at some target of opportunity off in the woods, then continuing on his way. Who thinks that, unless he inadvertantly hit a person, or damaged personal property, he would be charged with any kind of criminal violation, without even getting into the ludicrous topic of duty to inform during that time period?
    • Truthfully, alot of "basic" prep work in kitchens would be difficult (or just very expensive) to automate. Even things which seem as simple as cutting herbs in fine dining restaurants could be tough. Knives should be razor sharp (you would have to continously strop or sharpen blades), handle the herbs with care so you dont bruise them, be able to pick out ones that aren't beautiful etc.  I'm also curious what happens when a machine goes down. People won't keep the skills that have been automated.  I'm sure someone's working on it, but I think we're a good way away when it comes to fine dining. If you walk into a 3 Michelin star restaurant, you'll see 30 cooks. Not to mention, each machine would have to have an array of skills. Where I worked, menus changed monthly. Can the machine adjust? Maybe with AI. The other day I saw a robotic dog walking around nyc. Apparently its a test for future police dogs. Who knows what the future brings lol.  
    • Yeah, I'm sure there's resistance, especially among older people. I don't think complete automation is coming to haute cuisine soon, and most people want to talk to a waiter or sommelier if they're shelling out big money. But at least taking care of the more mundane tasks like bussing tables, washing dishes, basic prep work could help control costs
