Ryan's Steakhouse, or should I say Buffet

 I rarely go to Ryan's however last time I went (probably been a year or better), they would cook a steak for you but you have to go to the window and ask for it and it is not even a whole steak and it does need some A-1 to make it good. Overall I think the outlook for Ryan's is pretty good as long as there are enough 300 pounders on a budget around. I have gotten sick in the past after eating there and am not sure if it is a coincidence or not however if I do go there, I try and go early before the crowds hit because it is not uncommon to see people digging in with their hands to handle the food. 

   A while back I went to the Ryan's in Corinth for the breakfast buffet and they were making eggs & omelets to order, do they do that in Florence too?

our waitress had an open wound on her serving hand, that made me sick, but the food was really great!

Went one time I won't go again. Bland is the nicest thing I can say about it.

I used to eat at Ryans quite often.  However, in the last year or so, the food  really went downhill.  My last trip, I noticed the restroom problem, it was dirty and stunk.  I decided not to go back.  About a month later, I was in the area at 11:25 and decided to give it another chance.  When I got there, there was 11 cars in the parking lot.  I went somewhere else. 

I hope they get their problems worked out.

 For some reason my mother used to like to go there, but she never ate much. I could never figure that out?

 Just the thought of Ryan's(is that what you said?) turns me away.

Haven't been there in years. Watching all those fatties waddle around who probably havent washed their hands in weeks and touching the same serving utensils as them is just too gross. 

They use unsafe food practices.  They put pretty much identical chicken nuggets next to shrimp nuggets, and of course not only can you not tell which is which without ripping one open, but they get mixed into each other a lot.  No biggie to some, but anyone with any kind of seafood allergy would regret eating there.  And they know this...they mix dairy with foods that shouldn't have dairy in them and you would never know until you reacted from the dairy.  The food temps weren't hot enough half the time and stuff sat out lukewarm...super dangerous.  

 

The management couldn't care less about safety or anything else much last time we tried it a few years ago, so we never went back.

My family went once when it first opened.  If I wanted to eat in a dining room that reminded me of an uncleaned fraternity house, I would have stayed in college.

The last time I was at the one in Florence it was just plain nasty. That was about a year ago. That being said me and my brother ate at one in Mississippi recently and had a very good experience. Very clean(including the bathrooms) and the food was great. The staff was curtious and very attentive.

It really makes a huge difference when a restaurant has management that cares and really tries to run a good restaurant. Good management is key.

I wish we could get a Golden Corral here. 

I went to Ryan's last week. The food was good. However, there was a person dining there that had an open sore on his arm that was bleeding & running down his arm to his hand.  The hostess called it to his attention, he wiped it off & kept going. I tried not to use the serving utensils he touched. That was disgusting. I won't be back, at least not for a long time.  That wasn't the restaurant's fault, however.
