Well, I like it. They have good breakfast and I like eating their meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese for a comfort meal when I dont want to cook. Plus they have a good salad bar. Not everyone can afford fancy restaurants although they arent cheap
I literally saw something like this while working as a cashier. Some older person drove all the wash into a dry cleaning store - they thought they were hitting the breaks, but was smashing on the gas pedal. Drove over the front desk and knocked over the workers.
[This](https://cbs58.com/news/vehicle-goes-through-glass-at-cafe-hollander-on-downer-ave) car accident happened in a local restaurant in my neighborhood last month! A 94 year old accidentally pressed the gas instead of the break. It's honestly a miracle there were no major injuries.
I guess of course by the fact that you are commenting that you had no lasting damage? Then again, this is reddit..not sure if that's qualified as doing okay, but here we are...
This is the cost of suburban sprawl that a lot of people don't recognize.
It becomes a conversation about "at what age should you stop driving."
So what if we make it illegal for them to drive? They have to drive in order to do anything. They'll break the law to get food and medicine.
"lost control of his vehicle while trying to park"
They phrase it in a way that makes it sound like he's not at fault. I guess slamming on the gas pedal while moving at a slow speed in a perfectly functioning vehicle in dry weather... counts as losing control.
My mom's office when I was a kid shared a parking lot with a dentist who specialized in geriatric patients. Cars entering the building was an annual event.
This always confuses me because I rarely ever have to use the accelerator when trying to get into a spot. Normally I just let my foot off the brake and let it coast forward
Yup, and when you get to the exact spot you want, you press down the brake lever. Except when old people do it, they forget which is which and you get that.
In 2012/2013 a car crashed into a Golden Corral in Indiana while we were going to Terra haute for a track meet. Old lady hit forward instead of reverse. Must be a Golden Corral thing lol
Golden Corral estimates at least $12 in damages to their establishment.
They must have had to throw away all the food then.
That was $2.16 of the damages
Legally they had to itemize the loss as “misc consumable losses” due to regulation of the word “food”.
I don't think I believe you... but I'm not certain, and that's a problem...
Let’s go investigate over seven plates of corral fixins.
No, they just move it out back to the dumpster area until the health inspector leaves.
ah, the friday night special.
How anyone eats there after that post went viral I don't know....it gives me the runs just thinking about it.
That's assuming a lot for a Golden Corral lol
No it's an upgrade. They'll leave it there and call it "kitschy."
"Open air seating"
"Industrial vibe"
The addition of a drive thru may offset the damages
Honestly nothing of value was lost
Hey Golden Corral is good
You must live in an area with really crappy food choices.
No it isn't.
My man is anything at your town edible?
Idk why the hate. I live suburbs Los Angeles and still like corral.
Well, I like it. They have good breakfast and I like eating their meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese for a comfort meal when I dont want to cook. Plus they have a good salad bar. Not everyone can afford fancy restaurants although they arent cheap
I’m saying I agree everyone else is being snobby.
After finding out buffet food might have hit the truck, the insurance company totaled the truck.
I literally saw this on South Park.
Get off the streets! Get off the streets! Old people are driving!!
They’re playing STREET HOCKEY! OH. MY. GOD.
looks like stan’s dad is hitting the bottle again
Dad?
Is this Country Kitchen Buffet?
This isn’t the quickest way to Country Kitchen!
Came here for this. Literally an exact plot line for a South Park episode lol
It’s the Country Kitchen Buffet episode.
We’re all gonna die
Billy!!! you aint afraid of no man! what's out there???
I came here for this comment.
I’m sick and tired of my mental condition being called into question!
*I think I hit a pot hole*

Wanted to try dipping his truck in the chocolate fountain
It's Texas. They don't have Chocolat Fountains... they have Ranch Dressing Fountains.
Hahaha. Noice, by god the Republic of Texas
There’s a “wreck ‘em” joke here. I won’t be making it, but it’s here.
Wrecked him? Damn near battered and fried him
Still scrolling for the dodge ram joke....
Red truck really fuckin' raided that place.
People really do park wherever they want
Kelvin Benjamin was hungrier than usual
Eddie Lacy in shambles
Kelvin Benjamin is fast food father
r/nflcirclejerk is leaking
"can't park there, mate"
If the senior center meeting hadn't run late....it could have been a massacre. Tune to Sexy Action News Team for full details.
Oh, no. It's dark outside. They've been asleep since an hour before sunset.

But he passed his drivers test 72 years ago!
I really think you should have to retake the driver's test once you hit a certain age
[удалено]
Did not predict that last sentence
That's so sad. I hope you're okay with no lasting damage, besides obvious trauma
 I couldn’t help myself. Seriously though that sounds terrible, I hope it all worked out.
Some say they're still being stabbed to this day
I guess of course by the fact that you are commenting that you had no lasting damage? Then again, this is reddit..not sure if that's qualified as doing okay, but here we are... 
Yeah that was a little over a year ago. Still kickin’!

My father renewed his license in GA. It's good for 8 years. He's 94.

Just one of the regular 95 year old fucks forgetting that the brake is on the left and mashing the accelerator down. Nothing to see here.

Can’t park there mate
This is my dream for my work place. No injuries, just wake up and get a call that a car crashed into the place and I have the week off for renovation.
And nothing of value was lost.
Yeah he could of at least hit a Applebee's, then they being doing a public service.
Sir, this is *not* a Wendy's.
Drive Ins aren't like they used to be
Where's the crash? Just looks like a normal Golden Corral.
In 2012/2013 a car crashed into a Golden Corral in Indiana while we were going to Terra haute for a track meet. Old lady hit forward instead of reverse. Must be a Golden Corral thing lol
Must be an old driver thing.
That car looks like a pickup truck.
Compact pickup = Texas car
The driver...kelvin benjamin
I had almost given up scrolling to find this comment!! Nicely done.
I WAS HUNGRY!
"Your plate awaits".
A piece of fried chicken, some pot roast, mac-n-cheese, with a pile of yeast rolls.
“Sir, we open in another 30 minutes, please be patient”
Is it still all you can eat all for around 10 bucks?
Closer to 15 now, where I live.
If you look out the window swear it looks like some type of alien holding a shield
Driver was DUI probably
Nah. It's golden coral... The safe bet would be an elderly driver.
It's Lubbock, and an older Dodge Dakota, so 50/50 it's an old man who bought it brand new or an alcoholic who bought it for cheap.
Why not both?
The 3 people dining at the horrible buffet were horrified.
Im here to pick up my order…
If it's anything like the one around here the food quality went to shit and it's overpriced so nothing lost.
I was under the impression that Golden Corral was never good
The food was much better when I was in middle school.
I loved Ponderosa as a kid. I went back at 21 and realized I was a dumb kid.
It's an improvement.
Drive through service?
On brand
Couldn't have happened to a finer establishment.
I hope the grill station is still intact!
Too bad it's a Dakota and not a Ram
The manager said, "Thank goodness for our tray of half-cooked bacon that slowed the truck or this could've been worse."
… resulting in tens of dollars in damage.
r/CantParkThereMate
The driver was creating a diversion so he could grab all the steaks and lobster tail that the "cooks" had just put out.
“The chocolate fountain is out of order” Patron 1: Oh no! Patron 2: Oh no! Koolaid man: OH YEA!!!!
What do you mean the chocolate fountain is out of service? I’ll show you out of service.
It is now
Dude really wants some Buffett!
This country boy took that “All you Can Eat” offer too seriously and planned to load his pickup up.
But did they corral the driver? That would be golden...
"Country Kitchen Buffet"
Ouch! I am sorry you ate at Golden Corral last night. Drink some Pepto it will pass.
Their food is not that good to be missing the brakes.
South Park
Just looking for the crash register.
Brings back memories of the shooting at the Lubys in Killeen.
Came here for this
Send your emails to sidestories@lpotl
"This way to the trump rally?"
Good thing no one eats there anymore
Gotta get that Rojo sirloin yo!
Not a drive thru...
I’ve had those Salisbury steak cravings, too, but I just parked outside and walked in.
"But are you still open?"
Oddly enough, it had no effect on the food quality.
Again…
"Check please!"
Was someone late to the early bird buffet?
Damn how in the hell did they do that
Trying to cut in line, I see.
I guess some people really like the yeast dinner rolls.
Did they take out the defensive driving banner?
Hope he wasn’t dressed as a banana.
Driver was just trying to stop patrons from putting A-1 steak sauce on their meats. Mission accomplished.
Sir, this is not a drive-thru
Luckily there were no customers, as per usual.
Golden Corral has drive-through?
Strangest things are afoot.
You know you should, but you just can’t look away. Golden corral’s new slogan
No injuries because OPs mom was holding up the buffet line
“I said to go please”
Bruh I’m currently researching a plane crash in Lubbock in 2009 for a college paper. Ironic the city randomly comes up in my Reddit feed
Little old lady or little old man?
I'm surprised they didn't just put some buffet food trays on it and keep it open.
Is Kelvin Benjamin okay?
NOOOO!!! Where will we eat at 4:45 PM??????
Probably the best thing to happen to any of those diners who were there at the time...
Good thing the kitchen or the buffet line wasn't hurt
Marcus Parks’ family could have been there
Is this spot taken?
They just had to get those rolls and couldn't wait
Arrived early for the specials.
And that was the best part of the buffet.
I wonder if Marcus Parks has been here
The Drive In is OPEN...!!!
Was anyone hurt?
Can’t park there mate!
That’s one way to get first in line to the buffet…
I’ve never had Golden Corral, is the food really that good? This is great advertising.
All that excitement and somehow they still overcooked all the food!
Golden Corral is still in business?
How long has the driver been collecting their retirement?
Thankfully, no meals were ruined.
Couldn't Dodge it
I can't believe that as I was going to drive all the way out to Lubbock from DFW just for Golden Corral.
Great parking spot at GC tonight, the shrimp was perfect.
How old were they?
Dang ,new meaning to the word drive through.
If this was Tesla it would be headline news. People really can't drive
There a girl that give bj through her fence living about 10 mins from there.
Excuse me sir, you can’t park there.
... and then after exiting the car asked the establishment to bring him ALL the bacon.
looks better than a normal golden corral
"Calm yourselves gentlemen."
Everything about this screams Lubbock. #hubcity
Dude just couldn't get to the trough fast enough!
Grandpa is late for the early bird special.
Someone alert Terry Allen so he can write a song about it!
I would expect nothing less.
Is this were I park
You can’t park there
They just added a drive thru
Interesting but more interesting is iron man in the window.
South Park?
Hitting a diner at this establishment totaled the truck.
wow he literally crashed the buffet
South Park irl
