    Went to the Kenley Restaurant for dinner last night and the buffet food was HORRIBLE. Just about everything on the HOT side was over-cooked and looked dried out.

    Went again tonight before I took off, went early because I figured the food would be in better shape fresh for the dinner buffet.
    BOY WAS I WRONG. The peas were like MUSH and dark and wrinkled, like they had been allowed to dry out (then put back into liquid).
    The Corn looked the same and the color was closer to GREEN than yellow. The Carrots looked BLUE, the chicken was dried out, the casterole was dried out.
    When I complained to the "manager" (who turned out to be the "head cook" named Dave) he said he didn't see anything wrong with the food. I asked him if HE would eat the food on the buffet, he told me that "I had a choice".
    I agree, and I CHOOSE not to stop in this crap-hole dump again.

    Oh yes.....I posted the photos of their "A#1" Buffet food on my facebook page.

    Oh yes.....Dave RUDELY suggested that I be sure to tell "what time" I visited, then informed me that I had been "video-taped".....I am not sure what the hell he meant by that, but I have fired condescending jerks like that before.

    ####! That's some rough looking groceries right there! Reminds me of the Fish Hook Buffets........

    I assume that congealed mess of hard cheese & red sauce is supposed to be lasagna?

    After watching a "driver" walk straight from the bathroom stall to the buffet and begin fondling the rolls before putting the 3rd or 4th one on his plate and then fill his plate I no longer eat at any truck stop buffet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    I don't even look at the buffet. I'll order from the menu thank you.

    Just think of all those germs you ate before you quit.

    In 21 years of being a line haul driver, I can honestly say that the eating establishments have gotten worse over the years. It seems people that work in them are more interested in making a buck than they are in doing a good job!
    I always try to hit a shopping center where I can park the truck, and eat where alot of the locals eat. This is embarrasing though, I live in Clayton Nc< about 25 miles from Kenly. And as a local to the area I can reassure you most of us here dont eat food that looks like that. Sorry you had the bad experience here!
