We were in Wichita Friday evening and ate at one of those buffet-type places. Ryans.
I noticed the quality of the food and it reminded me of other places.
Actually the quality wasn't real good. Im not sure why, maybe its just cheaper ingredients or something.
They had a great selection, more choices than say the Sirloin Stockade here. BUT, the quality of the food itself was not as good.
For instance, lettuce, carrots and other veggies on the salad bar tasted kind of bland at Ryans. They all tasted the same pretty much. Carrots should not taste like lettuce, right?
They had a guy grilling steaks to order, but the quality of the meat just wasnt real good.
Ive noticed this at other places even among the same chain.
Subway here, for instance, tastes better than the subway in Winfield but not as good as Ponca. Same sandwiches and same chain, but different taste.
Ive worked at some fast food joints and know that they get all their stuff from the same place, so I am not sure why it is that there is a difference in quality.
Anyone have any insight into this?

Dude, it is a Ryan's. They are like that nationwide. Kind of like a Golden Corral. Salad bar from freezer bags, stale food, horrible service, but cheap prices, if you are not too particular about what you eat, but all you care about is overeating and putting on the lbs. (Don't laugh, but there are a lot of folks in AC where that is how they rank restaurants.)
They are a bad version of Western Sizzlin or Sirloin Stockade for the over 65 crowd. Watch out for the mystery cheese (the kind that doesn't melt when hot or solidify when cold, and any green or grey meat.
Want a good place to eat?
Buffet City on Central and West. Everything from Kimchee to Sushi to Moo Goo Gai Pan to steamed crab legs to fried chicken, roast beef and green beans, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and mexican mariposas and napoleons or chocolate cake and ice cream. All you can eat buffet and check out the Mongolian Beef barbecue in the back, made to order. About 9 bucks. Check out the cool aquarium.
Or Scotch and Sirloin or Olive Tree for a good steak or Macaroni Grill or Carrabas for decent italian. There are a number of good and authentic Indian and Paki restaurants over by Wichita State.
I didn't say Olive Garden. Might as well be in a Luby's.
ive been to Buffet Central, really good.
I think the sirloin stockade here is pretty decent.
I was just thinking how sometimes there is really a difference even between eating places in the same chain.
like in anything else, you usually get what you pay for.
