Golden Corral Gives You Low Carb Options

I get it. I understand that buffets aren't quiet the classy joints they used to be. When I was a kid having the freedom to make up my own plate was awesome. All the dessert you want, Um yes please. Its probably the same reason I got chubby. The thing about buffet chains is that it seems like many of them have gone down hill as time has gone on. The food is not as fresh, the choice are lame, and the atmosphere is dirty. It was a miracle I could get my wife to even go in one with me. I will say this however, and she might not admit this but I will. We were impressed with Golden Corrall. 

This Golden Corral seemed to take a different approach in one way. I noticed that though they did have a lot of options for me, they didn't put as much of each food item out as other places do. This helps the food stay fresh. They are constantly preparing more and getting fresh stuff out. Yes, I am sure most of it is frozen in the back, but the burgers and the streak I had seemed very fresh and not as processed as other buffets. A little more authentic. They even had chef preparing some of it right in front of you.

The salad bar was huge, lots of choices to keep it low carb, and the hot buffet had plenty of meats to choose from as well. Some of the items will have more carbs then others and you just have to be smart when you go here. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself and the freedom of making a meal that is just for you.  

I think if I had one piece of advice to give buffet places, it would be to invest in prettier plates. The plastic orange and blue plates make me feel like I am in a hospital. How about those fancy plates that are square. Maybe even breakable ones. Yeah, that could be dangerous, but food taste better with a little danger. Then again having a heart attack is dangerous too, and this place has a risk of doing that also.

Yes! Golden Corral is one of my FAVORITE Atkins-friendly places to eat! Whenever we travel somewhere and I see a GC, I have to stop! I love their green beans and cabbage and roasted chicken, and their salad bar is killer. It's super easy to stay on Atkins and eat there. One of my favorites, thanks for sharing it with others!
