CrazyFire Mongolian Grill

7.26.2016 -Will not go back to CF on Spring Forest. Our family used to love this restaurant, but I had not been in over a year...I was excited about the buffet-style selections and decided it would be a perfect choice for tonight. Checked their website for any updates or changes in menu, etc. Saw that one bowl was $8 and two bowls were $10, but that they also offered a $2 discount for anyone over 65. Arrived to discover that 'all you can eat' for $12.99 was their only offering for the dinner menu. When I asked about the $2 discount, the server said she'd have to ask b/c the website was 'old' and 'needed to be changed but no one knew the password' ..thus the prices were wrong. You guessed it... there was no senior discount, either. Determined to make the best of the evening b/c this used to be a great dining experience, I forged ahead. A sign on the buffet line said that if meat was 50% of the bowl, the bowl would count double. Didn't deter me b/c mine was supposed to be 'all you can eat.' Still trying to be objective. Long story short: 'all you can eat' turned out to be one bowl. The brown rice the cook added was loaded w/ coarse black pepper flakes that made it HOT and tasteless. I had used spicy sauces, so that only exacerbated the situation. [ I have never seen tons of black pepper in rice before, but that's the way it came out of the steamer, and I didn't catch the 'uniqueness' until I got to my booth.] The buffet line did not have as many selections, as I remembered, but I could be wrong there. Seemed short on fresh veggies. Lots of duplicates. Anywho... after I choked down one bowl, I was ready to GO. Waiting to pay my server at the cash register, I watched two businessmen check out the buffet selections and turn to head out the door. Wise choice. My bill for my one bowl was $13.87. I told the Oriental lady, whom I presumed to be the manager, that they had really changed in the past year. No reply. I did not check for the restaurant's grade, as I normally do when I dine out, but this time... I think I prob don't want to know. Giving it one star b/c it won't post, otherwise. Very disappointed...good memories, but not this time.
