text: I usually do not review chains but I have been eager to try golden corral for years Everytime I watch ESPN or Fox sports they constantly have commercials about Golden Corral The first thing I tried were the ribs To give them credit the ribs are tender and fall off the bone But the meat itself is so fatty it is hard to finish eating themjust way to fatty Basically all the food is as flawed as the ribs there is an upside and a down side I am being generous by giving them a star review Truthfully it should be a star review There is no reason to wait an hour to try their food I look back and I cannot believe I had hope Is it better than hometown buffet Yes but not by much
