logo By: Le’Terria W. Thomas I’ve always wondered why people decide to go to this place. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this place about a 5 for many different reasons. I like the fancy restaurants. Restaurants that are neat and clean from the time you walk in, until the time you leave. Golden Corral just doesn’t fit that description. As many people know, Golden Corral has many different locations, and I’ve been to about 3 of those, and they’ve all appeared to be the same. Not even 1 out of 3 has shown me anything different. I would rate the food a low 6, simply because I’m a very picky eater. The food that I do eat from Golden Corral, always has something wrong with it. I also eat the same thing: macaroni, steak, chicken, pizza, mashed potatoes & gravy, steak fries, nachos & cheese, ham. It seems like when you ask them to do one thing, they do the complete opposite. They might not even do it at all. Macaroni – It’s always watery, so I ask for some fresh macaroni that’s not too watery, yet they come out with the same type of macaroni that I didn’t want. Steak – I ask for it well, well done, or almost burnt. They give it to me half way done, still red in the middle. Chicken – I’ve never really had a problem with the chicken, but they could serve it hot instead of warm. Pizza – It taste like pizza dough with no toppings. They need to find a new recipe, point blank period. Steak fries – They taste like they don’t even drain the grease out of the fries. They look like a shiny piece of gold. Nachos & Cheese – Either the cheese is cold, or the chips are hard and stale. Ham – Sometimes it’s salty, but overall it’s good. I really don’t think that they are sanitary, for the simple fact, they use silver wear instead of using plastic wear. I believe that it is very unsanitary to do that. Many germs are getting passed around these days. Probably 2.5 million people have eaten off of just one fork, spoon, or knife. They should put a stop to that. Just because you wash the stuff, doesn’t meant that it always gets clean. There have been plenty of times that I went to grab a plate, and leftovers are still on the plate, yet it’s sitting there with the clean dishes. (That goes for a lot of restaurants really.) Speaking of not being sanitary, their bathrooms aren’t that clean, either. I’ve never been able to go to the restroom without smelling a nasty smell (air freshener), or finding pee on the toilet seats, and toilet paper all on the flood, or should I say, used toilet paper. Also, female products are always all over the floor. I know that people should know not to do stuff like that, but aren’t employess getting paid to make sure that, if stuff like this does happen, it gets cleaned up? Why have a job, and not do the job? There is no way that the bathrooms should be looking like that. It’s disgusting and it’s making Golden Corral look very bad. The workers are very well mannered. They greet you on your way in, and also on your way out. Overall, if I had to refer a restaurant to someone, it wouldn’t be Golden Corral because they just have too many things that they need to work on. picture

Type 3A<br />
curls in corkscrews. The curls can be either kinky, or very tightly curled, with lots and lots of strands densely packed<br />
