Buffet lovers, rejoice! The grand opening of the new Hudson Valley restaurant has been announced.

By now, everyone knows the tragic story of Poughkeepsie’s one and only Golden Corral. When the restaurant was built in 2017, it was full of promise and potential. A magnificent, state-of-the-art building has been erected on a busy stretch of Route 9 just north of the mall, complete with electric vehicle charging stations. Unfortunately the restaurant did not live up to expectations and was plagued with management issues. Customers have complained about substandard food and promised buffet items that just weren’t available. Stories of overdose in the restaurant’s bathroom and a dispute with workers over unpaid wages contributed to the eventual closure of Golden Corral.

After a few more failed attempts to reopen the franchise, the global pandemic proved to be the killing blow, shutting down the Poughkeepsie Golden Corral forever earlier this year.

ALSO: Vacant Rt. 9 Carl’s Jr. will be transformed into a new restaurant.

Just when all hope seemed lost, buffet enthusiasts were ecstatic to learn in October that the restaurant would reopen under a new name. Signs pointing to the International Buffet and Grill appeared outside the building, which was being repainted in shades of green, replacing the iconic red and yellow colors of Golden Corral.

Now, it looks like the renovations are complete and the International Buffet and Grill is about to officially open. On Tuesday, December 7, the restaurant will welcome its guests for the first time from 11 a.m. The restaurant will offer a buffet of international cuisine including Mexican, Chinese and Italian dishes. The buffet also says it will feature Dominican food, roast chicken, and pizza. Fans of the Golden Corral Chocolate Fountain will be happy to hear that it will reappear in the new restaurant as part of their dessert bar.

We spoke with management who said the international buffet will open daily from 11am to 9pm and open early to serve breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 11am.

Southern california Favorite fatburger of fast food restaurants arrives at Elk Grove, the latest entry into the Sacramento area’s burger wars and a rare foray north for the iconic Southland brand.

Work continues to open the restaurant, tucked away on the busy street Elk Grove Raley Center Elk Grove and Franklin Boulevard shopping center, but the “Help Wanted” sign is off. The restaurant is hiring a general manager, team leaders and a team in time for an opening slated for mid-June, Natomas franchisee Reynard Rutherford said on Monday, fresh out of a training session for general managers. and the owners.

Elk Grove will be just the fourth northern California city with a Fatburger franchise, joining restaurants from Fresno and San Francisco, as well as Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln.

Opening at Elk Grove was an easy decision, Rutherford said.

“Elk Grove is so diverse and very open,” he said. “You have high schools, seniors, younger people, people come from the Bay Area and LA. It is developing at such a rapid rate. “

Bringing Fatburger to the Sacramento area was also a matter of fate, Rutherford said. He was planning on opening another burger franchise last year, but when this chain struggled, he found out about Fatburger’s opportunities in Northern California through an online franchise lead.

Rutherford called company officials last year and he landed the franchise. He said the Elk Grove site was part of a larger plan to open four of the locations in the Sacramento area over the next four years.

Los Angeles-based retro-tilting burger chain calls itself “The last big hamburger stand” and features his signature hand-pressed burgers loaded with ‘The Works’ of lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, pickles and relish (the half pound Kingburger is highly recommended), thick ‘Fat’ fries, rings homemade onion and ice cream milkshakes. The menu also offers vegetarian and low-calorie Impossible Burger options and a bread-free Skinnyburger.

Rutherford was already a fan before he became a franchisee. Her children were athletes on the AAU’s traveling baseball and basketball teams a decade earlier, and the family made Fatburger a favorite stopover on their trips to tournaments in Las Vegas.

“We would walk the Strip, then go to Fatburger, eat their burger, buy their milkshakes,” he said. “They were so good. This is how we got started.
