Old Country Buffet

User Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

The majority of the time, the food is at best, mediocre, and should you expect to find hot, fresh food, keep looking, it's not there the majority of the time. Time and again, as the prior reviewer wrote of, their mgmt personnel have treated the employees poorly, which I guess shouldn't be a surprise. I'd be a bit rude, also, knowing I was serving poor quality meals. They do have a high management turnover tate, so one can hope eventually a good one will finally arrive - and stay.

OF ALL THE RESTURANTS IVE EATEN AT IN 58 YEARS, (1000s OF THEM, ALL OVER THE WORLD, DUMPS TO 5 STAR RESTAURANTS ) THIS PLACE HAS THE THE BIGGEST JERK FOR A MANAGER (OR AT LEAST HE WAS IN CHARGE SEVERAL TIMES I WAS IN THERE) THAT I HAVE EVER MET.
I AM A RETIRED RESTAURANT OWNER. I HAVE STOPPED HERE QUITE A FEW TIMES WHEN I WAS IN MADISON TO EAT.
THE FOOD IS FAIR FOR A BUFFET, QUICK TO GET IN AND OUT OF IN MY RV. MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE NOTICED THIS MANAGER(?) BE VERY MEAN AND RUDE TO THE EMPLOYEES, TREATING THEM AND TALKING TO THEM LIKE DOGS. (THEY ARE ALMOST ALL HISPANIC AS IS HE) I WAS IN LINE LAST WEEK WHEN HE TALKED DOWN TO AN ELDERLY BLACK LADY AND TOLD HER TO LEAVE SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THEY HAD OVER CHARGED HER, SHE WAS PAYING FOR 6 0R 7 DINNERS. HE RAN THOSE PEOPLE OFF. THEN I PAID FOR MY DINNER AND NOTICED THAT THE CASHIER WAS A LADY I KNEW FROM SOME WORK I DID FOR DEMOS RESTAURANTS, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO I ASKED HOW SHE WAS AND HOW LONG SHE HAD BEEN WORKING THERE, I TOLD HER I WAS WAITING ON SOME PEOPLE TO MEET ME AND THAT I WOULD JUST STAND OVER TO THE SIDE FOR A SECOND AND WAIT FOR THEM TO COME IN. NO ONE ELSE HAD CAME IN OR WAS IN LINE TO PAY. I WAS LOOKING AT THE DOOR WAITING FOR MY PARTY. HERE COMES THIS JERK AND TELLS ME I EITHER HAVE TO GO TO A TABLE OR LEAVE. I TOLD HIM I WAS JUST WAITING FOR OTHERS, HE INFORMED ME THAT COMPANY POLICY WAS THAT NO ONE COULD STAND AT THE FRONT. THE CASHIER LOOKED SO EMBARASSED. I WENT TO A TABLE TO KEEP FROM CAUSING A PROBLEM. MY HISPANIC WAITERESS WHO KNEW ME, TOLD ME SHE WAS SORRY FOR THE WAY THIS GUY ACTED AND THAT "HE WAS A VERY MEAN MAN". AFTER WE ATE, I GOT UP AND WALKED UP TO THE CASHIER (THEY HAD LOCKED THE FRONT DOOR, NO ONE IN LINE, SHE WAS JUST STANDING BY HER CASHIER STATION)TO TELL HER I WAS SORRY IF I CAUSED A PROBLEM, SHE QUICKLY TOLD ME THIS WAS COMMON AND HOW EMBARASSED SHE WAS, ALL AT ONCE HERE HE CAME RUNNING FROM OUT OF THE OFFICE TELLING ME TO LEAVE. I ASKED IF HE WAS CRAZY OR ON DRUGS AND THAT I DIDNT SEE HOW THEY HAVE ANY CUSTOMERS. HE INFORMED ME HE DIDNT CARE IF THEY HAD ANY CUSTOMERS, BUT IF THEY DID HAVE ANY, THEY WERENT ALLOWED TO TALK TO THE EMPLOYEES. THE OTHERS STOOD WITH THEIR MOUTHS OPEN AS DID I. THEN HE INDICATED HE WOULD CALL THE POLICE. I DONT KNOW IF CORPORATE HAS ANY IDEA THEY HAVE A NUT LIKE THIS WORKING FOR THEM BUT THEY SURE NEED TOO. I WAS TOLD LATER BY AN EMPLOYEE THAT IF THEY GET SICK AND HAVE TO MISS A DAY, HE PUNISHES THEM BY NOT LETTING THEM WORK FOR 4 OR 5 DAYS OR CHANGES THEIR TIMES SO THEY HAVE TO QUIT.
