    Lots of classic American food (steak, mac and cheese, pizza, etc.) but not much else in terms of ethnic food variety. Worth the price though if you want something that the whole group can be satisfied with, especially if you go for the lunch prices. However, I was a bit worried with health precautions with the food. Even though a mask is required, many people by the food did not have their masks on or they were improperly put on. I saw a woman coughing directly over the green beans. Overall, it wasn't very clean. Other than that, the staff were very sweet and helpful. Good place to go for a lot of food.

    About $20 (not including tip) for Friday night dinner. Pretty standard American buffet fare. Everything that was supposed to be hot was hot, and everything that was supposed to be cold was cold. My med-rare steak was hard to eat, but guess what, it’s a buffet, so when something isn’t right, you get to spin the wheel again. Medium steak was perfect. Popcorn shrimp was killer. Ribs. Fell. Off. The. Bone. Compliments to the grill master. My advice would be to go earlier than 6:30. When things ran out, they didn’t get replaced. So no carrot cake (my favorite dessert). Thankfully there were dozens of other tasty desserts to choose from. You’re not going to leave hungry. This was my first time at a Golden Corral, and I wasn’t disappointed. It reminds me of Ryan’s Steakhouse, back when those were a thing. I would absolutely return. But it’s going to take me a few weeks to get out of this food coma first!

    I was going to give them a 2 star rating, because I placed an online order for curbside pickup and none came out so I had to go in. Then I get my order home I notice they forgot to put something(main course) on the bag. I called and was able to talk to two managers want a lady and the other David. They realized and owned the mistake and asked what they can do to fix it, then David offered to bring the items that were missing to me. I believe it's a great gesture and customer service thank you David your customer service skills raise the rating up. I ordered the family steak meal on Golden Corral website.

    We decided to eat here tonight, all in all the food was good kind of expensive yet is all you can eat. We enjoyed our meal and had a enjoyable evening.

    Haven't visited since pre-covid. I was pleasantly surprised with the food quality and service. As always, a variety of creating your own salad options, main dishes, sides and dessert. Price per person was decent for a family of 4 when compared to a fast food meal price. The servers timing was on the spot. As soon as customers left the establishment, the servers rapidly picked up and cleaned thoroughly. Plenty of handicap and regular parking available.

    Food was surprisingly tasteful and abundant, employees were convenient and available for any special order for food. And overall the staff on hand were very courteous and helpful. I recommend this restaurant. The only reason I didn't give up the fifth star was because the potatoes were cold, but the beef and catfish I can recommend.

    No apple pie the ENTIRE time. It comes out year round and they didn’t bother to re stock it. There was scraps and that’s it. Other then that I enjoyed my time their and my meal. Except for the fact I couldn’t eat a dessert.

  • 3/5 Al B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not was I expected, I would say food is ok, there's variety but nothing too appetizing, mostly chicken and pork in the hot area and some vegetables, steaks are served until 4pm and you get only 3 ounces at a time, only one refill on the drinks, prices aren't too bad, just $10.79 plus $4.19 for the drink per person, so for 15 bucks you can have a decent meal and is all you can eat.

    The atmosphere gets a 4/5. Golden Corral is used as an educational excursion for our family depending on what kind of day we are having. I've taught my children many lessons at this facility. Lessons such as, but not limited to: -What You Will Look Like if you Live off of Butter -Where Not to Take a Woman on your First Date -If You Think You're Fat, Think Again and Guessing Games such as: -Is it A He or A She? -What Color will the Next Church-Goer be wearing Head to Toe? -How many Scoops will It put on Its Plate? The plethora of learning opportunities and activities are gloriously endless, as Golden Corral is bound to provide shocking entertainment and loads of laughter.

    The food was good, and server as well. The issue we had was the cleanliness of the bathroom. When going on trips I go out of my way to find places that have clean restrooms. Sadly I don't think I will visit this place again when in the area.

    Low price is the biggest advantage Suitable for filling your stomach rather than enjoying the food

    I am a vegan. I was hoping they would have some Vegan options. I'm not sure of everything I ate was 100% vegan (butter) but it was definitely vegetarian. Everything I tried was delicious and I was very full when I left.

    Well, one first thing I had was the fish. There was a mountain of it! I took from top. Unfortunately, some of it was cold. The only shrimp they had was breaded. They were so small! More bread than shrimp. They were still good though! The cashier was very friendly! Our server/busser was wonderful! Tipped her $20!!! The macaroni and cheese looks good and cheesey. Problem was it was quite watery! Ran off plate when walking to table.

    They need to do more cleaning in all areas of the restaurant, especially the bathrooms. The food was good. Good customer service.
