I first tried it in Chillicothe in the late 90's.....was not impressed and it never came close to our rotation of eateries. I had it two more times in Zanesville about 6 and 7 years ago as our girls on our softball team chose this for dinner and all the parents went along.

It is not good....it's a notch below Pondergrosa in my book.

The video has to be a rarity amongst their chain....good god that's nasty. Whoever is in charge of the GC is probably a Browns fan.
Been so long since I been to a pondo..the only thing they have over GC was the steak all the time. We go for lunch on a sat and sunday and only sunday do they have steak a the GC.
I know people bash it....and it has to be nasty i know..but all in all the food hasnt been too bad.

"These two can't get married! If they're taking US to that hellhole, imagine how ****ty their lives will be together!"
I got the impression it was just one of those quickie weddings or whatever..they only had a small section roped off for it.

This being the key word when I think of the GC.

I doubt the food was taken back in and served. The manager was fired for improper disposal of food. The guy who made the video has been arrested numerous times and served a year in prison for cc fraud, and is currently on probation for burglary. GC says his dad tried to sell them the video for $5000. They said no.
I found the story on the same site as the Zimmerman trial.

Maybe they should've said yes....regardless that manager being fired will go a long way.

My last visit to a buffet was Home Town Buffet probably 8-10 years ago. The disgusting fat people in there turned me off on it forever. I'm sure the quality of food is bad too - whether or not this picture is real. But to see all of these obese people just disolving the buffet was absolutely stomach churning.

I haven't eaten at one in probably 10 years, but it's laughable that people think other restaurants don't have the same problems. Our local paper posts the restaurant inspections every week, and many others have problems too.

It's cooked, so it's probably alright.

Yeah..I think it is like 10-11 bucks for the food and then the drink on top of that is probably a couple of bucks. In terms of cheap....no, not cheap, but in terms of cheap in regards to the quantity of food ya can consume...probably so!

Occasionally they rotate us around to a home town buffet and it isnt too bad. The one we went to twice last month is in a deserted part of columbus and usually not too busy. Food is OK I guess

Hell..just watch Bar Rescue and that show will make ya never want to eat at a bar again!

I despise GC but I've eaten there..with 3 little ones, getting in & out is key.

But yeah let's not act like pretty much every restaurant has some mold around their soda fountains and some nasty floors back in the kitchen and some sketchy folks cooking the food.

Imagine the wall between the kitchen & the patrons was plexiglass?? There's a reason most places don't want you seeing the kitchen.
