Needs to be in the Springdale or Fairfield area, as that seems to be where most are located.

I am not saying I will consider moving, but if you think this is an easy task...feel free to look.

Would be nice to have a few alternative places in mind is all.

Rib City is nice cause it is right off 275...that being said... Just remember everyone doesn't live in Hamilton and i would be kinda disappointed if the meeting place got much farther away from me...

I also agree with Lisa, we have to have a seperate room/area away from other customers because we can get a little rowdy...

derick was it u that looked into D&B for the xmas party? Maybe that would be another alternative too, I know they have a few private rooms there....

I also will volunteer to man a grill/cook for the meetings if we end up somewhere like Scott's...

Since I have been in the restaurant business for over 20 years I try my best to not bash on other restaurants... The things i see at Rib city are not to bad that they counldn't be fixed easily, but the owner and management have to be able to see the problems... Which i don't think they are seeing right now...

d&b would be cool place but they are more coorporate and not easily worked with on arranging and they will charge for a party. i think like golden coral because although its a buffet the have party room which can be easily reserved im sure at no cost just for the promise of 16 - 40 more customers. and they are right off the highway by cincinnati mills mall too so just as easy to get too as rib city.....

to lisa, be it as it may that some may not like to move but if in fact rib city cannot change their ways maybe its time to bring it to a member vote to see what the feelings are in general as to changing locations and then conspire a list of places who are willing to work with us and seem convient enough for the normal meeting population and bring it to a mamber vote.

or just do like we did the new pic for shirt and just bring to a silent vote on a ballot type level listing rib city and other places willing to have us and let everyone have a say.

on a personal level, i hate the atmosphere of the place, the food to me is far from bragging about, and service def seems to be a prob that has yet to be fixed from my standpoint

IMHO buffets are just a problem waiting to happen... especially on what could otherwise normally be a slow night...
just my .02 on buffets....

D_Rock · 01-29-2012, 01:32 PM

be that as it may, i look at it from the standpoint of no waiting for food or having servers bring food in middle of meeting or trying to find out where your food is during the meeting, or if you a lil late getting food after meeting is over it is there for you instantly and with a selection of different foods

my .02 on it lol

i mean im willing to go meet with the manager there and give them what we are, when we will be there, what to expect and get there feedback as to what their nights normally look like on first monday of each month on average....

i mean honestly i really like the idea of someone just hosting at their place, but who is capable and willing? im willing, not capable

I agree on this... we could pull this off at my house when it is warmer out, and if it rains we could hang out in the garage... It would take an army to clean up my garage though

... But if i had to guess there is a few people that would not want to drive to Deerfield twp..

To me... Buffet+slow night= poor food quality... But i have always had issues with any godlen corral i have eaten at...

I don't know about anybody else, but I don't come to the meetings for the food.

Few thoughts:
It's not realistic to host at someone's house honestly. New members would be less apt to show up at a persons house where they know absolutely no one. Plus there is some level of liability involved. I would be unsure how that could translate to personal property. It really needs to be a business.

That business front will then represent CORE to a certain point. Realizing I'm jaded as heck, the picture I have of Golden Corral isn't necessarily how I want to think of CORE. And yes I know right now, we don't taste very good and have bad service; but it looks good up until that point.

This subject cannot come up at a meeting to discuss, until we have someplace to move. You think your service is bad now? Wait and see how that goes. This is what makes this tricky and requires planning and patience.
