    Beef low main and chicken fingers.

    I ate here a week ago in side restaurant horrible service and food not good. To night gave it other shot . I ordered out the food was fresh very tasty a bit of a wait for food but it is Labor Day weekend. So take out yes I recommend.

    Baked haddock much better than the salmon.

    Saturday my wife and I decided to go back to the Continental to try the weekend buffet. We arrived just after 1 pm as the lunch rush was slowing. Everything looked to be refilled with only the prime sushi showing signs of shortages. I miss some of the good choices to a customer before me who "loaded up" leaving only the rolls behind. Luckily the sushi chef came back and started restoring the sushi section while I cruised the hot food. Best of the hot food were the ribs, fried chicken wings, chicken teriyaki and baked haddock. The steak and rib eye beef were alright as long as you grabbed them when they came out. Cold shrimp were okay. Our total bill with ice water came to $55. The staff were friendly enough but tended to be distracted. My wife was very happy finding the hard ice cream section! All in all better than expected. So if you shopped the selections you can get your money's worth.

    Delicious food

    Good food nice friendly people that works there. Definitely coming back again. This will be easy decision to do.

    Had a wonderful time tonight at the Continental Restaurant! My sister turns 65 on Tuesday so I took her out for Mai Tais and appetizers - we didn't get the buffet because we weren't that hungry. The food was excellent - we got Peking Raviole - pan fried - and the best I ever had! And an appetizer platter that consisted of yummy chicken wings, boneless spare ribs, and chicken and beef teriyaki ! Everything was delicious including the Mai Tais - strong just the way I like them! Our waitress Jasmine was excellent - very professional and friendly - she was happy to answer our questions. I hadn't been here since Yangste closed but I can say that I will definitely be back. We had a great time!! Thank you!

    1st visit since opening. Smelled weird inside of restaurant. Mediocre foods. No difference from great buffet in Newington. Don't think I'm coming back.

    Remodeling looked great and staffs were friendly. They have a lot of variety on their buffet bars. But the food they serve are OK at best.

    Two days prior to writing this review, a YouTube channel by the name of "Company Man" posted his…read morevideo essay called "The Rise and Fall (...and rise again) of Golden Corral." Which prompted two things in my brain: 1.) I haven't been to a Golden Corral in years (not since living in Texas, at least); and 2.) I should look to see where the closest one is to me. Lo and behold, turns out...my original assumptions of the nearest one most likely being somewhere in northern Mass were incorrect. There is, in fact, a newly renovated GC right in our midst - in good ol' Manch Vegas! And man, have they upgraded! It would seem there is a great deal of truth in that video essay by Company Man. Because it appears over the years, the management at GC have been hard at work upgrading the ever popular buffet restaurant. Not only are both the dining area and buffet room completely contemporary by 2025 standards; the payment system is updated as well. See, in the past, I usually had to endure the "joy" of making sure to have small bills on my person so that I could aptly tip the servers. But now...GC did something I *never* expected. In addition to facilitating contactless payment options, they allow you to charge an additional dollar amount of your choosing for the specific purpose of getting cash back to tip your server. This concept is awesome on so many levels that I can't believe more places that charge dining up front don't do this. I've often pointed out in past reviews that if cash tip only restaurants made it easier for customers to tip servers (be it via credit card or cash back), we'd be more willing and able to do it. So, why aren't more places doing it this way? Don't know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now, as you can see from the photos, the dining room and buffet area have been drastically updated. Or at least....since I last visited one years back. The aura is generally brighter as a whole and the tables don't seem as crammed together as before (I suspect, in part, due to the Covid years). Another thing I noticed almost immediately is how the buffet size seems slightly scaled down, whilst still offering a generously vast selection. But again, I'm comparing this to the one I used to visit frequently back in Texas so....take this with a grain of salt (no pun intended). And for those who were wondering, yes - the breakfast still slaps! I didn't notice an omelet station anywhere. Though, I honestly didn't look for one either. It's possible I could have missed it. Oh, GC evidently did away with their traditional trays, too. Just as well, considering they served no purpose in the first place. You still get your drinks immediately upon entry. But I mean, you could always just double fist it if you desire multiple beverages. Since I'm not a huge buffet person these days due to an aging metabolism, I can't say I'd come back here *too* often. But they still are the #1 place I'd visit as far as buffets are concerned. Still holding the top spot in their respective dining category, I'm giving Golden Corral in Manchester 5 generous plates of bacon and eggs out of 5.

My friends' son got a cheeseburger - without cheese. I think our server misunderstood when he said, "I would like a plain cheeseburger". He didn't want tomato, lettuce, or onion, but he wanted a cheeseburger. The kids menu didn't include the same veggie sides - the kids wanted corn but that wasn't allowed? I got the baked stuffed haddock, a baked potato, and squash. My friends all got the turkey dinner. You didn't get butter with your baked potato unless you asked for it. (Maybe this was a way to save money and supplies?) One friend ordered the baked potato with butter and sour cream. Perhaps they didn't have sour cream and just didn't want to tell us. I found it interesting there were no dinner rolls. We ordered dessert around 1:10 pm. We waited; and waited. Come to find out - our dessert slips had been lost. My friends' daughter ordered chocolate ice cream with whipped cream and she got chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. My bill was correct. My friends - not so much. This review is challenging because I always spend the holiday with my family but I just moved back to the area and was graciously invited to lunch with my dear friends. They were so busy and I know we are all grateful to have had this option of eating out on this holiday. I felt bad for all those people waiting to be seated because they were so behind schedule. We were seated at 12:10 and left at 14:00. Maybe this was a test run for the owners of the restaurant. Practice makes perfect! Thank you for your kindness and meal. The seafood stuffing was very good. I enjoyed the grape nut custard pie, as well. I wish you all a happy holiday season. The staff were kind - just overwhelmed. We had a great time, though. The atmosphere was fun and relaxing for us.

That's why I haven't been back for years until I recently went to a group event there. The meals I saw in the group still looked like something from the frozen foods section of the grocery store. But I had opted for a Reuben sandwich with an upgrade of onion rings. Surprise, surprise!!! The reuben was excellent! Plenty of fresh tasting corned beef and overall very tasty. The onion ring upgrade from fries was $1 and the rings were likewise excellent. The reuben alone was $19. I can recommend the reuben at Strafford Farms, but nothing else. There are far better options available in the area.

The place itself looks fantastic, with crisp linen tablecloths and warm table lamps that give it a classy, cozy feel as soon as you sit down. Every piece of meat was cooked perfectly, from the first slice to the last, and the variety was incredible. The staff kept checking on us just enough to make sure we had everything we wanted, but never in an annoying or pushy way. You're given cards with "yes" on one side and "no" on the other, so you can control when they offer you more food. With the "yes" side up, the servers bring you a steady stream of delicious meats; flip it to "no" when you need a break. I ate way too much, too fast, simply because everything was so good. We already can't wait to go back. Ogunquit has a lot of great places to eat, but make sure you try this one--At Bonissoni Brazilian Steakhouse should absolutely be on your list.

Our drink orders were taken right away but after the drink orders service was a little slow. The waitress explained they were short staffed. I take no stars off for this.

There were affordable options with some higher priced dinners. There was an option for everyone in our party. I had the stuffed haddock covered with a seafood stew. I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to seafood stuffing so I was a little hesitant to try it but OH BOY am I glad I did. The stuffing and stew were amazing! No leftovers for me.
