    If you want to pay $14.99 for a "Premium" weekend dinner plus $2.89 for the drink for nothing but sides, this is the place for you. We arrived a little after 11am to find mostly empty trays. We were continuously told they would put out more food "in 10-15 minutes" because they were transitioning from breakfast to dinner. 35 minutes later and everything looked the same. An hour later and they still had almost nothing but sides. A lot of the sides are repeated. For example, there are 3 different places to get tostadas, garbanzo beans, and sliced carrots. What could be considered main dishes run out quickly and are replaced sparingly. When they finally replaced the salads, it was with sliced fruit. There were no soups. The food is bland and mostly flavorless. The drinking glasses appear to be rinsed and not washed. There is a thin film of gunk inside every glass. You need to look over the plates very carefully or you'll end up with a dirty one. The only redeeming quality are the servers. They are attentive and very friendly. They check up often and proactively clear trash and plates. We gather here almost every weekend to catch up with family. The quality of the food has been going downhill for a while now. Today's visit was the last straw. This will be the last time we waste our money here.

    Went a week ago (sunday) evening, place have a large variety of food for all tastes, only issue were the men's bathroom it doesn't match with the service received just be equal in all aspects at the restaurant since we have good food, fair price, and excellent service, the bathroom takes all down.

    Don't know what happened to Golden Corral. You are asked to find your own table, ok. Took 5 minutes to find a table, servers look at you but don't help you find an open table, most tables not bussed, bussed tables were still dirty. Awful service, it took over 20 minutes to get drinks after sitting down. Lines for food were horrendous not enough cooks, steaks were taking too long so the lines grew longer. Refills were non existent unless we hunted a server down. The restaurant was dirty, floors not swept, serving areas were not cleaned, food was cold, salad area very anemic, empty food containers, etc.. Restrooms are in need of repairs and remodeling, yuk!! Skip Golden Corral for good, new management required.

  • 2/5 Not S. 1 year ago on Google
    Based on my experience here, this place is decent overall. Not the best food, nor the worst. Some of the items were tasty. Customer service was fine. Prices are high. Down sides: 1.) They had ran out of gloves to pick up the serving utensils with when going around, and didn't refill them the whole night, and 2.) I only spotted one hand sanitizer station, which was located at the exit. I and someone else looked around for others, but none were found. This place needs to look more into the little things (specifically for health related matters) to make this place better overall. Probably wouldn't recommend or return here again.

    KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE!!!! We just witnessed a woman coughing and sneezing like there is no tomorrow we literally saw her sputum hang from her mouth and on the table. Her table included 2 men and neither of them had face masks at any point around the food. Whats worse is that there is no temperature inspection at the entrance or regulations indicating the use of face masks while around the food only signs that are not embraced! Please guys be safe people are dying out here!

    I went with my family for a late lunch (230-3pm) since other times the place had been packed. My experience was less than desirable. As you can see from my pictures the plate rack where you pickup your "clean" plates for the buffet contained dirty or improperly washed plates. At 3pm they still had breakfast descriptions to stuff that didn't match on the trays so you didn't know what you were getting. Bathrooms were super nasty and it seems that they were always out of the dishes I wanted. Food wasn't coming out or being replaced quick enough... by the time I was leaving they were finally starting to grill steaks yet they were still doing French toasts at 245pm? Get your food logistic together!

    It was my first time to this location. Crowded was an understatement. But the food was good, and our waitress was very nice and attentive. I wanted a steak, but the line for it was ridiculous. There was even a smaller line for rolls. Over all not a bad experience, just be ready for lots of people and tight spaces.

    Honestly everytime I've gone, the food has been fresh. The salad bar is to die for and everything there was fresh there too. We also never went thirsty. Servers went above and beyond to make sure we were accommodated. Hell we held conversation with who was charging us. Also the price is beyond fair for what is served there. Couldn't be more thankful.

  • 4/5 Frank W. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is really good. You have a vast variety of foods to choose from, also a fabulous salad bar. The only thing I really didn't like about it was that it felt very cramp to me . I understand that they're trying to get as many tables to commoditize the room they have, but for me I feel like a little claustrophobic because the tables are too close to each other. Especially if you have a walker that you use you have to try to make room for that also. Other than that we had a good experience there.

  • 1/5 Jane D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went yesterday at noon. All my family has been sick since. The meat being grilled didn't give me a good smell. The place looked and smelled dirty. I guess people don't take pride in what they do. Especially the manager they are the most responsible in keeping everything in order, what a shame.

  • 1/5 wampy “wampy70” M. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't recommend going here at 5 pm, there is almost no food to pick and some of the food feels rushed that it looks disgusting such as the chicken. I had other times when this place is better which is between the time they open till 3 pm. I learned the hard way that after 3 this place is not a good spot to pick I would only recommend this place if it was the only thing left in the world. Not even then I think this place is worth $60 for 3 people.

  • 4/5 Aaron P. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was actually good and fresh. Could improve by having more steak cooked and ready to serve. Service can be slow, but I understand this place can get busy at times.

  • 5/5 Carolyn F. 5 months ago on Google
    Didn't realize how many people eat out for Thanksgiving. My first time with my daughter and it was great. The line was long took us an hour and half but once in and paid lots of available tables. Enjoyed overall😃

    Great place to eat, love the omelettes which are prepared exactly as you like. Waiter Jonathan, very attentive to your needs. My grandchildren love eating what they want from all the variety of foods to pick from.

  • 1/5 Rosemary E. 4 months ago on Google

    Went to Lee Trevino location. Very impressed with the new remodeling is very impressive. Very bright now and they eliminated walls that served as barriers and now has an open larger feel. Two way fireplace looks very classy.

  • 4/5 Mary L. 7 months ago on Google
    Wasn't too happy with the choices; however, they had all you can eat wings, and I was only able to eat three. Buffets are not my thing, but thought it was the best place to get a variety of veggies and salad.

  • 4/5 Gardenia A. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was being made as you walked through the doors. The warmth scent of the many holiday flavors danced around the room. If there was a particular food that had run out, they would immediately prepare it for you. The meats were tender and juicy. The veggies and salads, too. The servers were kind and happy. Overall, this was the first Golden Corrals location that I would definitely come back to. Even if it means driving 12 hours from California. 😄

  • 5/5 Tayler F. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been to a lot of Golden Corrals around the country and this is one of the best. Every one is slightly different. Some have no steak, some have no pancakes or french toast, some have no pot roast, or fried chicken, or pork ribs, some have terrible dessert options. Very few have everything I want. This one does. Good job GC. I hope I can come back.

  • 1/5 Fytbykay F. 1 year ago on Google
    The bare minimum golden coral experience I have ever had. The service was very slow getting in the door just during receiving our drinks . The menu is bare minimum and not the usual rolls and refreshed menu as golden coral normally has. There is always quite a crowd but everyone -Staff seems to not know what’s going on or give the impression it is their first day . Person fixing our drinks was not sanitary and placed his hands inside our cups. I do not recommend this location . We were given a military discount of 1.00 which isn’t even 1 percent of what we spent . Please do better .

  • 5/5 Rosie Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I love eating here! I get everything I want in the amount I want. The only draw back are the long lines to the food. I guess that tells you how good it is. I wish the restaurant was a bit clean but with the bunch of people there, I just don't see that happening. Overall, a great place!

    Went for the Veterans Night and was so proud of what this company does for the veterans! So many veterans came out and were able to enjoy dinner. Saw many with their family, some with their friends, and some by themselves. There was a sense of community there that night. It was definitely a beautiful and humbling evening.

  • 4/5 Mariana A. 1 year ago on Google
    Everyone was kind until the dessert section. One lady was a little rude when asked for a slice of the pie that was sitting next to her, but not cut. Some eye rolls and sass were served with the delicious pie. Aside from that, great food and decent cleanliness. Very kind and diligent staff walking around and cleaning.

  • 2/5 Sheila R. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, it was horrible. I gave it a two because I feel bad giving it a one. The food was not good. It's been years since I've stopped at this Golden Corral, I looked forward to a good roll. The roll was rubbery. The food was reheated for sure! The place was not packed and now I understand why. We tried 3 desserts and were beyond disappointed. How do you go wrong with dessert? My stomach is so upset. I will say that the white rice was okay. The meats I tried were not.

  • 1/5 Nancy S. 3 years ago on Google
    We went today at the one that is located at Lee Trevino Street, and the experience was horrible. I know and understand that with COVID-19 businesses are concerned about safety, but that doesn't mean that some of the staff have to be rude. You need to talk with customers with respect and explain your rule when the client is paying at the front, not when they are at the buffet. One lady approached us to ask us to wear a mask, and ask us to read the sings they have in the restaurant, about COVID-19. People don't go to restaurants to read, they go there to eat. Businesses have their own rules, and I respect that, but please, explain that to customers first. The ladies at the meat section, where customers pick up plates, are not polite, they talk to customers like they are talking with their personal servants. Bad faces, bad mood and not the appropriate way to address to other people. On the other hand, I would like to remark the excellent service of the waiters, on the tables, they are always nice and polite.

    Our father's day brunch was great despite how crowded it was. Food is always good and abundant. They don't play. My only complaint on food was the ribs that day.. kinda dry. Still full of flavors like pot roast and Chinese stir fry. You can never go wrong on the grill and they served breakfast all day! #nomnomnomnom I only gave a 3 because of the way they "stage" the tables.. there's no waiting area for those people, we were all bunched up by the register 5 families deep. Also.. restrooms were filthy and in need of some loving. It was busy.. but daym foul in there.

    Good variety. Pretty good food. Fair price on prime rib weekends. Surprised they didn't have a chicken nugget type thing for kids but they liked the pizza. Not great table service for drinks. Etc. The couple bucks more per person that you spend compared to fast food places is worth it to get real food.

    Unfortunately this time wasn't the usual pleasant experience we are used to. The pot roast was dry. The vegetables and sauce was delicious but the meat was dry. It was obviously left in the oven too long. The grilled steak was lacking flavor. I will always be the first to praise Golden Corral, because I have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Unfortunately yesterday the food was a disappointment but the service was excellent. I will return, because one bad day does not mean it will happen again. Love Golden Corral
