The Lobster Tail for $4.99 was a rip off. First it smelled so bad like raw fish everyone at the table said it stinks. It was rubbery and there was only 4 bites, that is $1.25 per bite. Never again. I also saved several others from ordering this DEAL

Truth my fine friends. Everything else at Golden Corral in Sioux City is GREAT
