There’s bound to be places that serve food similar to GC but cheaper and tastier. GC is just basic generic American meat and bread food. If you were in Tucson I’d tell you to go to Shooters or Codys, Shooters especially I know you can get in and out of for the same price as GC only having eaten quite good basic no-nonsense dead cow.
A group I’m in recently moved their meetings to GC, that’s why I kind of have in for them. Having had to eat there and really experienced just how really bad the food is and really expensive. Of course we met at the GC that closed, was quite pleased (not for the place closing, just that I wouldn’t get stuck eating there anymore) until someone suggested Furrs, gotta learn to speak up before the obscenely obese members of the group. It’s amazing how bad their taste in food is.
We had a local FL chain, based in Pensacola, that was just like GC, same food, same buffet style, that was here and doing well before GC came to town. Then when GC opened they went belly up.................
