All You Can Eat in Kenosha

The intersection of 75^th Street (Hwy 50) and Greenbay Rd in Kenosha could be called a binge eater’s paradise. The majority of Kenosha’s buffet style restaurants are located in that area. If quantity is more important that quality, a family of four can gorge themselves for under $30. The average cost for an adult is about $8 and children’s prices vary according to age and restaurant.

By far the most popular buffet in Kenosha is the Golden Corral. Any night of the week they offer all you can eat steak as well as a variety of home-style meats and side dishes. If you want to visit the Golden Corral, your best bet is to go before 5 or after 8pm. During the dinner rush it is unbearably crowded. You may spend your entire visit just trying to get a fatty slab of tough steak. While the steak leaves much to be desired, there are several other dishes that are quite tasty. Unfortunately, the dining experience tends to be more an exercise in anger-management and more stressful than enjoyable. Children tend to run amuck and many of the guests act like they have not eaten in weeks, cutting in line and food hoarding are common. The service area is run inefficiently and many times a serving pan will sit empty for up to 30 minutes before the staff will refill it. The wait staff range in skill from a few excellent servers to many that make you wonder who hired them and why haven’t they been fired. The management is probably to blame for the disorganization of the establishment, as they tend to wander around in a daze and do not handle complaints with more than a shrug and an empty apology. In spite of this there is always a crowd, if you are brave enough to fight the insanity, try the grilled salmon with salsa, and the pot roast. Be sure to save room for dessert, the banana pudding is delicious and the coconut cream pie is to die for. The Golden Corral is located at 6208 75th Street and is open for lunch and dinner during the week and offer breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet on the weekends. If they expanded the size of the restaurant to accommodate the traffic and stepped up the quality of the staff, The Golden Corral would be unbeatable.
