“Thoughts from a many year patron. Opening cheese plates were amazing and delicious as always.
The salad was under dressed, boring, and flavorless. The soup is where things start to go sideways for us. It was introduced as a lobster bisque, this is a stretch for me as it was obviously a potato based soup with some lobster chunks in it. Although tasty, it is misleading billing this as a bisque. Next is the sausage.....dry and over seasoned with thyme to the point that it was inedible. Next was the pork, it was ok, but again, over cooked and plain. The next offering strait up made me angry. Serving 1/8" thick slices of top sir loin and billing it as beef tenderloin is a travesty and should be a crime. That is a flat out lie about what you are being served. It was cooked well and tasted good so I was able to get full on it after a few servings. The chicken literally had no seasoning at all, not even salt or pepper. It was cooked well and not too dry, but I was shocked that it was not even salted. The last straw for me was the prime rib, overcooked and dry to the point that it also was inedible. I'm not sure if there is anyone checking and maintaining the food standards, but if there is, that person is in the wrong position. I have had a better dining experience at Golden Corral than what was brought to us Sunday at 11am. As a past kings feast, 8 years straight, and founders club patron, 2019, the food standards were nowhere near what my many past experiences were. This is not a staffing shortage issue, a food shortage issue, or any other outside influence affecting these issues, they are plain and simple lazyness and cost cutting that is coming from within the kitchen, and a lack of someone caring about the quality of the product. I would have rather had less food brought out at a higher quality, than the hoards of overcooked, plain, and tasteless platters that were offered this year.“
