Not golden coral but a (possibly) local place called whistle Junction, my grand-uncle and aunt (my grandma's sister and her husband) celebrated their 50th anniversary (this was about 02-03) at this place, grand uncle somehow pulled strings and had the whole place rented out for a party of about 30.
Now all me and my family knew about this place was that it was a BBQ buffet and my aunt and uncle were talking about this place and how great it is, ect, ect.
Cue the day, we all get seated in party room place (despite the 30 of us being the only ones in there) we take seats, a few people give a few quick speeches, then we all go to eat.
The food was fucking terrible, there was fish stuck to the trays, chicken uncooked, steak hard as a rock, salad bar looked like it should of been thrown out, dressings were curdled(? Might be the word I'm looking for).
It was one of the absolute worst restaurant experiences I had ever experienced, after everyone did a loop around the place trying to find anything edible someone's kid finally found something. The fucking ice cream machine, so all 30 of us guest ate nothing but ice cream, my aunt and uncle being the only ones to eat anything else and thought we were all crazy for not wanting to touch the "wonderful " food.
At the end me, mom, dad, brother all left, leaving no tip (found out later we were not the only ones, as my uncle was basically the only person to tip, and apparently it was only like $6-$7) due to the lack of anything edible, and the servers being pretty rude the whole 2-3 ish hours it lasted.
Anyway we leave and dad calls up this huge pizza order from a local place just to make up for the lack of food
