I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner Steve! I like Golden Corral too. Most
of their food selections I find to be very good. Recently, I had a bad
experience. I took two of my grandsons in there for dinner around five
o'clock. One of my grandsons ordered a piece of steak off the grill.
He brought it back to the table and sat there staring at it for the
longest time. I asked him if I should help him cut it? He nodded
affirmatively and I slid his plate in front of me. I grabbed my steak
knife and attempted to cut it. I swear it was the toughest chunk of
meat I ever tried to cut. It was like...wrapped in strings of rubbery
fat...but they were too tough to cut through with my steak knife.

I did not think it was beef. I went to the manager and asked him what
this cut of beef was, also what grade of beef they use? He stood there
with a blank look on his face. He said he did not know the cut or
grade of the meat. It is just shipped to the store for them to cook.

I highly recommend not eating so called steak off the grill at Golden
Corral. It is disgusting. As good as their other foods are, I would
think they would be ashamed to sell this and call it steak for fear of
harming their reputation of serving otherwise delicious food.
