Went during lunch time. But still had a great selection. And happy they batch cook small orders. So the product is always fresh. Buffets are not usually my thing. But they do a great job. In having something for everyone.

First time at GC here and I was surprised at the food quality. It's not upper echelon cuisine, but it hit the spot with no aftershock. No fights broke out either! The staff was really friendly as well.
