Since my surgery 1 1/2 years ago I have been avoiding buffets for obvious reasons, not worth the amount of food for price. Last night we went to Golden Coral and discovered they have a pay by weight option. They give you a to go box and you get what you want and just weigh it. My meal cost about 6 dollars and my wife's was 16 dollars. I got enough to bring home some for later and they have a great variety. You can get anything that will fit in your diet and ignore all the fried foods that wreck a havoc on the sleeve. Anyone else do this?

Had no idea they even did that for eat in buffets. Hometown Buffet refused my bariatric card to pay the childs price. I'm a total waste of $11 there. I usually fill my plate and take 1 bite of each thing. When I'm done, it doesn't even look like I ate anything. I end up wrapping a couple Cookies in a napkin and putting them in my purse. Gotta get at least part of my moneys worth.

We don't have Golden Corrals on the West Coast. Next time we're at Hometown Buffet (hubby luvs it. He's a low carber and can eat all the meat and veggies he wants) I will check on that option. Does it say on the board over the cashier where the price is or do u hafta ask?

I did not know that! They actually have some good lean meat options we could do if we were in a hurry. Thanks for sharing that!

I go to Golden Corral about twice a month. I eat about 1 small platefull. I know I'm not getting my money's worth, but I go there with my friends to socialize - it's not about the food. I get a wicked thrill about not being able to eat as much as my friends. While they're going back for their third plate, I'm still working on my first piece of steak and Brussell sprouts. I consider it the best $12 I spend all week!

I went there and they would not give me the kids price either. But they suggested the wright option. I have done this twice the first time my meal was only three dollars but I did not know about the to go carton. I filled it up more the second time cause I knew I could take it home for another meal.
