We started eating at Butterbean about a year ago. The food was good, and since we are Southerners who love that kind of cooking we were good customers. Lately, the food quality has been poor, and it sits for long periods without being refilled with fresh. We will try one more time, then its back to the "G. C. Steakhouse" as our grandkids call it!

Did you share your concerns with management? If not, why not?

I was raised on my grandmother's Southern cooking and I frequented the Speckled Butterbean in Webster. It was like my grandmother's ghost was in the kitchen supervising. I was thrilled when they opened the Wildwood location. When it first opened, it was not as good as Webster but still good. But after several disappointing visits, I won't be going there again.

That said, I will still go to Webster. Hate the drive, love the food.

We have spoken to several members of the wait staff (who are all very good!)
regarding food being cold and/or food not being refreshed. Of course, they are not the ones to complain to. However, I feel they can get the message to the managerial staff/owner. I am hoping to try again this weekend, and find that the food is back up to snuff! Not canned and definitely not cold!

We've been there several times and for what it's worth, it's not worse then some of the buffets around in TV. Thought the southern fried chicken was not bad. Haven't been back this winter but if you say things are pretty bad do you think they don't now care about customers? Remember they are sitting on a pretty good property when the Brownwood is built.

I sort of eat the same way as you. I'm there for the salad bar and fried chicken. Ok, that chocolate fondue thingie that they recently started is thebomb.comyumolicious/criscogoodness/on a stick! Anyway, I tried the Spuckled Bitter Burn and thought it was pretty nasty at the time. Granted, I never went back, and probably won't, but the one time I did, the food was stale, cold and sitting around for a while. At least at Golden Corral, they mix it up every so often.
