Golden Corral

This place is a joke… First off the manager was very unprofessional he was talking to our waitress like a piece of crap In front of customers. He was loud constantly yelling at people he new with just flat out ghetto… The steak cook was rude he acted like he had an attitude when someone wanted a steak and he would look right at you then walk away like he was doing something… our waitress was great she was very nice… I read a review and it was describing the type of people there and they were 100% right. I will never go here again it was a waste of money. and I k my gave 2 stars because our waitress was nice

Good deal. $ 16.09 for lunch for two (early bird special).
We were greeted and seated as soon as we came in. Everything was good enough for this category, buffets. Service was excellent throughout. Food was fresh at all stations.
If you are not looking for anything culinarily special or you just need to consume mass quantities on a budget this is a good choice.

I went to Golden Corral last week with my husband and kids. I won’t be returning. I gave them 3 stars because they had a huge variety of food items… but that’s as far as it goes. The food quality was very poor. We were there at 6pm which is prime dinner time. You would think everything. .or most things would be fresh. I don’t know if it was our high expectations of good food or what because it seemed like other people were enjoying their meals. They were out of roast beef and chicken. The carrots and corn were really old. I tried their pasta salads and it just tasted off. I had to sift through the silverware to try and find clean ones. They sat us in a room that made us feel like we were in the ghetto. They were yelling and laughing so much we couldn’t have a conversation. All we heard was TANITA! TYRESE! it drive us crazy. So i do not recommend this place unless you are comfortable in that type of atmosphere and food quality is not a priority.

It’s the best place to eat at least once. Today I went my friends I love this place. Very nice atmosphere. Garden fresh produce just awesome fresh and tasty. Going forward I loved their baked fish, yummy desserts and cakes and their chocolate variety and many more. None of other restaurants can provide these many things in right way. I will be coming back soon again.

Went Thursday evening, and was completely disappointed. Food on the buffet was sub par, at best. Not hot, nor sure what they were calling mashed potatoes. The mac and cheese was tasteless. Veggies were old and mushy. On a positive note, the steak was good and the salad bar never disappoints. Have been there before on a weekend and it was much better. I overheard a manager talking about how slow it had been. But does that mean that quality should suffer?

I have been to a few Golden Corral’s and this one by far is the most trashy. I understand that the location can not control who they bring in but their employees set the tone for a straight up ghetto environment.
The guy showing us to our table had a Bad Jerry curl and kept stopping to talk to his homies. We are just trying to sit at this point and they can not even handle that. The same guy was non stop yelling to his peeps about non sense the entire time we were there. The «server» filled up out drinks once and that was after we flagged her down.
The customers here are the most foul, obese, grimy people I have ever seen. They were so dirty it was hard to eat or get more food. As I mentioned before, this is not the restaurant’s fault but just be prepared to see some people the size of vehicles running around like it is their last meal. It is almost inspiring. A diet has never looked so good.
I give this fly trap 2 stars because their food was good and the tea was good. Besides that, the place is a ghetto, slop fest for the degenerates of our society. Next time I go, which is probably never, I will take some photos so my readers will know that that post is an understatement and not an exaggeration.

There used to be an Old Country Buffet near my house, but it went out of business several years ago. I’d heard about Golden Corral and when I was on the East side of town last week, I saw it. I started to go in at that time, but it was crazy crowded — especially for 4:00 on a Sunday. So, I decided I’d try it another time.
I went there today for breakfast. At less than $ 9, it’s not a bad price. However, I truly resented the cashier asking what I wanted to drink without giving me a chance to read the menu board. When she gave me the total, it was $ 11+. By then, I’d seen the menu board and said that I thought it was the breakfast price (it was still before 11:00. She said it was, but the drink wasn’t included. I told her that she should’ve said that at the outset. I was especially displeased when I got into the restaurant and saw that they offered juice and milk. And I will never understand charging $ 2.39 for iced tea, which costs probably 15 cents to make.
That being said, I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting the kind of food that the Old Country Buffet served — obviously pre-​made and mass-​produced. I’m sure this was, but it tasted much better than that. And I did see people behind the food stations actually making things and cutting the produce.
There was a breakfast pizza that was actually delicious. And I was pleased to find lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as whole hard boiled eggs. There were also grits & fried okra. I’d never had either of these things before, so I don’t know if they were good, but I didn’t care for them. The fried chicken was amazingly good — much better than KFC (and the creepy new colonel). I only took a wing & considered going back for more, but I was pretty full. I found the sausage patty to be way too spicy, though. there was some kind of sweet pork thing that was also good. They also offered biscuits and gravy, the usual pasta and sauce and mac & cheese, but I didn’t have any of those things.
I thought the chocolate fountain was a fun touch — and who doesn’t like the smell of chocolate? But, it was too sweet for me – as were the brownies.
Golden Corral is definitely not haute cuisine, nor is it a nice, friendly diner. But if you’re undecided about what you want to eat, you don’t want to spend a lot and you don’t want to have a lot off personal interaction, it is not a bad choice at all.

Ok… so, it’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to this location. Yuck! What the hell were we thinking. We should have gone to Longhorn across the way. Jammed pack with some of the worst of the worst customers ever. From the moment we entered the line at the door to the «table pointer» (I hesitate to call him a greeter or host because that would imply that the service was friendly or hospitable, it was not – he grunted and pointed to an empty table). The table was inevitably way too small for my dining partner who is a large grown man and cannot squeeze between two baby seats and another portly gentleman on the other side. Wasn’t going to work. Too late because grunt and point was off to the next victim in line. Had to track him down for a booth. I happened to see a booth being cleaned as point and grunt led us to the previous table but it had been (without my knowledge) snapped up. He actually took us over to that table first and made it a great point to tell me that it now had been taken and that we could squeeze into the makeshift booth next to the wall. I guess we were the wrong clientele he was used to. Food was average at best. The Asian section was laughable and all but nonexistent. Steak was small and extremely chewy. Best thing that I ate was a small dessert «shooter» and some chocolate fudge dipped in the chocolate fountain. Nothing stood out. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Blech.

Let me tell you something about this place, it can suck my right nut! IDGAF if it’s all you can eat this place has food comparable to dog food and the all you can eat steak gives rubber a run for its money. The only people who should eat here are obese people who eat mass quantities of revolting food and have no self respect. If you like this place you need to get your head examined

I think I’m getting spoiled from the casino buffet. But the people at this place is unruly don’t look where they are going bump into you all the time. No has maners. People bring their kids and just let them go. A woman was holding up the line for fried chicken because thir was no dark meat. And wouldn’t move in till she got it. 10 minutes or more. Don’t like the fact that you can’t get your own soda. Thir making 88% on a soda and losing a tun of money on food that people just put on there plate and don’t eat. I don’t know if I will ever go back.

On days when you want to pig out and eat tons and tons and tons and tons of food, come here. No seriously, where can you find a buffet that serves «STEAK» anyway you want it for less that $ 15, and that even includes the drinks. It’s not a fancy restaurant that serves char broiled trout with French inspired aioli. Btw, aioli, is a snoot term for mayonnaise.
These are the spots where there’s no nonesense, I’m just here to eat as much as I want and I need my table kept clean every time I return from the buffet. So if you think this restaurant is gonna magically turn into a posh spot, you are clearly delusional.
After the fall of the American buffets, this franchise is the only one left standing. It’s all about the steak, and ever since their debut, the others stood no chance. Their food here at this golden corral is actually very good. They greens were really good, their fried chicken is great and their meat loaf is even better than that spot synonymous to «Shmeans and Cornspread.» My steak was cooked medium rare, it tasted like steak as well. Their bbq ribs are pretty good as well.
Service is great, the cashier was very inviting. Our table guy was on point. He refreshed our sodas when it needed refreshing. Cleared the plates when we left to go for seconds and thirds. Even suggested and fetched me a hot cup of coffee on my desert round. These guys are pretty good. I totally enjoyed my pig out session. Thank you Golden Corral. («,)
Life is awesome when the glass is half full.

Weeeeeeeeeee!

This is without a doubt, one of the absolute worst buffet options you have in the area. And it’s not just the food, its everything about it. The staff, the cleanliness, the patrons. If you are thinking about giving it a shot, just don’t do it. It will end up being your worst decision of the day.

oh i do like the place!
I agree that you sit between 250 elderly people but I dont mind that at all. Theyre quiet friendly and well mannered.
Now, if you are out of luck as the previous reviewers, then you might step into a playground of 250 count bisbehaved offspring instead, in which case i do salute you. This place is a roulette! :)
Otherwise food is great, you can eat till you hate yourself and all that for the price which will please you (7.99 $ for lunch?)
I shall keep coming

The crowd is ROUGH! All day everyday! My table was picked up twice going back from the buffet! I was only there 20 mins and sat at 3 tables because they cleared it off and sat other people the second you get up to get food. The food scares me because the small children who are not being supervised from there parents are putting there hands in the food. Management makes announcements to not allow your children alone at the buffet but the parents don’t care! It’s weird that when they sat us first they had the rooms segregated, it was crazy and I hope it was just a fluke and not like this all the time. The Caramel and white chocolate fountain for fruit dipping are now not there and there’s only a chocolate fountain, bummer!

You get what you pay for, which is your average buffet. The amount of choices are really what make this place worth the trip. Other customers are a huge put off, unfortunately. Every time I’ve gone, I’ve been surrounded with very rude and obnoxious people which made the experience less enjoyable.

Horrible customer service! Horrible for birthday parties. Avoid it at all cost. Managment isn’t polite.

Disgusting. Too many kids running around & no parents watching them. Food is not up to par & for 2 people its $ 31. Never again. This place ruined our dinner experience for a good night out.

It’s a buffet, so they do a lot of things good, but nothing «great». Always a «zoo» in here and you’re constantly given the eye like they want you to hurry up, eat & get out so they can reseat your table. Don’t stay away from your seat too long, they’ll clear it as well. Lunch is your best bet to avoid standing in line/​the crowds, but the joint’s still jumpin’. Staff, for the most part hustles … lot of movement, but doesn’t appear much is getting done at times. There’s one or two in there that could use some additional training & probably a Dale Carnegie Course. Food is average/​above average, selection/​variety is good … homemade potato chips are a nice touch (could stand to be completely fried to ensure they’re all crisp/​crunchy), Aunt Bees Fried Chicken is really as good as it looked on the Andy Griffith Show & the Mini Sliders are pretty beefy. Salad Bar could use red onions vs white onions, just a suggestion, and maybe cut the green pepper slices a little smaller, ;).
The ambience is what kills this place, it’s as close to «restaurant anarchy» as you’ll find anywhere … between the crowd & the employees running up your backside (telling you to «move»), it’s basically survival-​of-​the-​fittest in here … but hey, if it doesn’t kill you, it’ll only make you stronger & they do have that chocolate fountain thing going on, lol.
It’s the only choice you have on the eastside if you want an american-​style buffet since Old Country went under. Personally, I can’t wait until another option comes available & won’t be frequenting this place much in the future.
One thumb down!

Two words sums this place up quite nicely. Not. Great.
I’m not always into going to buffets, but when I am I dork out with my spork out. I’m down for whatever son! Fried Chicken? Hell yeah. Salad Bar? Word. Mexican and Asian stations? You know it to be true y’all! So why then did I not enjoy this place, in which the food deserves at least a 3 (and some food items were a 4)? The people!
Not only did the staff underwhelm at every turn (I totally watched one cook sexually harass another cook, while another cook made fun of another staff member for being Mexican), but the guests were F’in OUT OF CONTROL!
There were kids crying, children finger-​blasting food, toddlers running around, and kids making a TON of noise. Don’t hate kids like I do? Don’t worry, the adults played their part as well.
I saw NUMEROUS adults try food with their bare-F’in-hands, completely ignoring the serving utensils. One chick actually took a bite of a corn muffin, didn’t like it and put it back! If I wasn’t for the fact that I was so close to vomiting after seeing that, I would have drop kicked the broad.
I wish u could say that it only happened once, but because I thought the food was ok I went back. The same shit again. I thought going earlier would be better, but no. The same ignorant, mental midgets were dining there, doing the same disgusting things. If another location opened I might give it a go, but I’d stay FAR away from this location.

The best of the American Style Super Buffets!
I have been a fan of this place since it opened. I mean I was always ok with the other buffet’s in town but this one was just a step above. Better food, better service and just plain more selections of the things you want.
Mexican — check.
Chinese — check.
Italian — check.
Entire section filled with desserts — check.
Steaks on the grill done to order — check!
If you have a picky eater, they will find what they want here. There is enough salad to fill the most negative vegetarian among you as well, maybe not enough for them to stop hating the world, but it will keep them grazing and prevent them from criticizing others.
This is a FAMILY place. There are children here. There are babies here. If you want this place to be like Bill Knapps, you have entered the wrong building grandpa, please move along and take your hatred of children elsewhere.
If you like a ton of selection with the best flavor, COME HERE!
