So yet another affront to good taste bit the dust this week. This weekend I sampled the fare at Fire Mountain, and it was even blander than normal. The grill was barely running. Now I know why. Everything was winding down. Not that the employees had much of a head's up. They were only informed a day or two before the end came. The parent company that also runs Ryan's filed for bankruptcy reorganization. I'm not a big Golden Corral buff, but the Corral has been clearly the better trough over the last couple of years. Plus, Golden Corral has that cool, older lady waitress with the orange hair.
Speaking gastronomically, Olive Garden has gotten off to an unusually rocky start. Waits of an hour are not uncommon, even in off-peak periods. Many diners say it is by far the smallest Olive Garden they have ever seen. And several have testified that the food is not up to typical Olive Garden standards, though some say the quality has slightly improved over the last month.

Re: Fire Mountain of indigestion finally closes
May Fire Mountain rest in peace and never rise again. At least in Lawton.

Re: Fire Mountain of indigestion finally closes
You sure have the dirt on these nibbling places. Have not yet been to Olive Garden based on two things you mentioned: long wait times and from word of mouth from friends saying the food was no way near the great taste we associate with Olive Gardens in other major cities. Could it be we need to travel 60 to 100 miles before our taste buds really linger for anything that tastes like food?
Although I have enjoyed Fire Mountain over the years, their food for the past two years have deteriorated in quality and taste. Must be food from China laced with lead perhaps. I'm surprised you didn't say a word about Furr's. Is there any one word that can even describe that terrible place? How about terrible, lousy, bland, no taste (oops, two wrods), or awful.
My mouth does partake the foods at Golden Corral about once a month only to see the slowness of refilling their food bins. Once I timed how long the lettuce took to get refilled - over 45 minutes. Not good. I heard people asking but there wasn't any running around by the staff trying to solve the concern. They didn't come knocking at your hole asking to borrow a cup of lettuce, did they?

Hello, out there! I'm Bonnie Barker. You are all probably acquainted with my nephew, Sheridan, otherwise known as the "smartest prairie dog in town".
Being somewhat envious of Sheridan's success, I decided that I should host a blog of my own. I am interested in all the news that's fit to print and some that isn't. If you don't have anything nice to say, please come down to the prairie dog mounds and let's dish!
