    It was Fri and felt like having fried chicken on the spur of the moment. It’s my first lunch buffet in very long time. They charged the drinks separately $2.99 per person so bill came up to be almost $30 for two adults. I used to enjoy the fried chicken but food was just average for me that day. I enjoyed the meatloaf and bourbon chicken. The desserts section has quite a few of selections but I was too full to even try. They provide fresh pineapples that day and it was so good so that’s a bonus point there. It’s worth it if you have big appetite for food. If you are counting your calories this is not a place for you.

    Went there the other night with the wife and kids. Paid $70 and definitely was not worth it. They close at 8pm, we showed up at 6:30pm. The dessert bar looked as though it had sat there all day and they didn't put anything new out. The other food was somewhat fresher but not by much. Definitely won't go again in the evening.

    Good selection of food. But some food been sitting too long and cold, dry. My server was really nice, attentive. I always come here to see her. Ask for Paige you will get great experience with her.

    Went there after 7:00 PM on a Saturday night. Spent $56. They started breaking everything down at 7:30 PM. The food was cold and short supply. Had to refill our own drinks. The ice tea tank was dumped at 7:30 PM. Had to settle for water instead. Last time I every eat in this place!!!

    I am currently here right now. It’s so bad I feel like leaving a review while I’m still here. It’s 6:30 PM they supposedly close at eight. None of the food is fresh. They have nothing that any other Golden corral I’ve ever been to has there’s no ribs There’s no barbecue meat. There’s no nothing. This place is terrible. The customer service is terrible. $19 for a buffet without a drink. At 7 o’clock I had to ask them to give me more tortilla shells for the tacos because they weren’t gonna make anymore. If you ask for your steak temperature anything more than medium, they complain, and will not make it for you. I do not eat my steak that way, but several people asked for it and they would not make them. They advertise holiday meals. Every other golden corral has dressing. This one doesn’t even have ham it had turkey, but they would not make any fresh turkey because it was two hours before closing. They have no tomatoes on the salad bar and they have no watermelon. Every other Golden Corral has plenty of both. No shrimp no wings.

    All and all, place is pretty clean and waitresses, and waiters are very good at what they do. Sometimes food isn't the best or not cooked long enough, like needs better "quality checks"... or on the opposite side of the coin, is food is cooked "too" long, or heat lamped way to long *like in photo*....then returning a few days later, only to grab a plate *see photo* and under it is a plate with some type of liquid on it.,.at this point I'm not sure if I want to use any plates. Very mixed emotions, sorry ..but just wanted folks to know. Thanks.

    My whole family has been going here for over 8 years . Went a few weeks ago waitress completely ignore Us. Never refilled our drinks or came to our table .We had to put our plates on a different table and refilled our drinks Ourselves. Her family members were at work with her. She skipped over us . My big cup lid was off 30 mins ,empty Never once asked us if we wanted a refill. We tip Always besides this day. If a waitress doesn’t do their jobs they get NO TIP! YOU work for your tip ! No name tag and she didn’t tell us her name . Mexican lady around 40 Hair is up. Short lady Always waitress on the Salad side corner. (How hard is it to refill drinks and take dirty plates.) I went back tonight and the waitress was Wonderful 👍. New waitress and she knew her job title. No asking for anything She was very Polite! She received a big tip doing her JOB! Patricia needs to train waitresses! Keep up the Great Job ! It doesn’t go unnoticed ! (Get New Manger’s! Manager smiled about it when I got my own refill in my big cup and explained what happened. It’s Not funny !)

    $62 for three people. I'm currently sitting in their location. Food was good but we had to wait forever for items to come out. At this Price it just isn't worth it. Oh, and they gave us plastic utensils. We come here about once a month and it's hit or miss. Sometimes salty, sometimes perfect. Sometimes cold, sometimes great. Not sure it's worth the gamble anymore. Workers are very nice though.

    Haven't eaten at Golden Corral for a spell, but Mom wanted to eat there, so I gave it another try. The $17 price per adult without a drink is reasonable for the selection. The food was pretty decent. I really enjoyed the steak and some of the side dishes. The deserts were pretty good but lacking from the heyday (no chocolate waterfall or cotton candy). Our server was great and severely overworked. Atmosphere was awful as the floors were dirty and there was a very large woman wearing small clothes. Not likely I return to any Golden Corral but it was nice for a last visit.

    Good first impression, clean, friendly cashier, too much to choose from and I love the salad bar.

  • 5/5 Laura S. 4 months ago on Google
    This was my first time at this location. Delicious food, great service, great selection. My favorite dessert is the cinnamon rolls with their decaf coffee. Sweet potato casserole is delicious. Fish is always good. Fried chicken is very good.

    We had a great experience. Our server was great. Food and the food options were amazing. Little warm where we sat, but we know for the next time. I highly recommend. I do not recommend the banana bread that was for sale by the register.

  • 2/5 Stacia R. 1 year ago on Google
    The waitress was amazing, but the chicken was still pink. I quietly mentioned it to the manager, and he said "I can go make sure it is at temp, but there is nothing more I can do". I didn't want anything from them, I just didn't want anyone to get sick. He didn't care, he tried to temp the chicken at the table that was sitting there while we ate our salads. And he quoted the wrong temp for chicken.

    Our staff member was awesome. I didn't catch his name but when we gave him his tip, he was the most appreciative person ever. We had 7 people so he had a ton to do. He was great.

  • 2/5 meagan l. 9 months ago on Google
    It looked like a garage sale on the inside. We almost left cause I wasn't sure about it having all this stuff. Realized they were having a raffle but it definitely throws off the feel of the place when it looks like a junk store as soon as you walk in. The food selections were limited and freshness was questionable on much of it. The ranch tasted funny and im guessing caused the after affects we experienced. Our server never refilled drinks or anything we had to get up and get our own.

    Ordered to go delivery received rib dinner with 2 ribs instead of 6 that comes with order. Carrot cake looks like it came out of trash. Called to speak with manager and was told he didn’t have time to talk

  • 4/5 Aixa G. 1 year ago on Google
    I love eating here. It was always my favorite to eat, only that now they have less topping options for desserts, and some of the food are cold. Thats the only thing I dont like. Ice cream was DELICIOUS 😍😍😍 It is expensive though!! 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲 They do have a large variety of FOOD. And the broccoli soup was AMAZING!!!!!!!! Probably my favorite Dish and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!🤤🤤 Go try it out! You’ll like it! (CINNAMON ROLLS ARE THE BEST DESSERT THEY HAVE!! DONT MISS OUT)

    I am assuming that location of Golden Corral determines the type of food you are served. This particular Golden Corral didn’t serve the dishes that other Golden Corral restaurants serve. The chicken on the buffet was dried out, didn’t have any dark meat I requested dark meat the cook stated 20 minutes with an attitude. The greens, black eye peas were bland needed seasoning. The lemonade fountain drink was out. Spoke to the manager on duty he made sure things were better. This Golden Corral can use some more cooks that don’t mind using seasoning in the food.

    Food was great! Fresh everywhere on the buffet! This is the only location I patronize and they've never failed in providing great food and service. I really enjoy the baked fish over rice and the choices for sides.

  • 1/5 Bogdan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Back in the day this place was pretty good, not 5 stars, but 4 at least, now a total disaster, the food is cold, the whole place is cold. Furniture, plates, utensils are all old and with clear signs of usage. Food overall was really bad, steak was mostly raw fat. The only positive was the staff that tried to be nice and friendly, that place does not deserve them.

    As usual I enjoyed the food tonight 12/14/22 however the waitress never once stopped by my table on the right side of the building by salad bar. She walked by twice and saw my drink was low and just looked and kept going. When I went to get my last plate of food I got back to my table and it had been cleaned off completely drink cup and all. So I left her a plate with meatloaf Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy un touched on the table for her to pick up as well. Kinda upset me but I believe she doesn't speak English as she was speaking in Spanish to a table behind me when I sat down the first time. Tonight was the only bad experience I have had here. The people beside me hadn't seen a waitress until she cleaned off my table. Hands down she was the WORST waitress I have ever had anywhere in my life. The one star I am giving is for the food. The help tonight was worthless. The family beside me saw me leave a full plate of food due to the non existent waitress who ignored me as well as them had cleaned my table off before I was done. She looked at my almost empty glass and said nothing and walked by. She needs a new job. One more time of this and I will NEVER come back again. I am not hugely important I know but all I can say is wow she has no clue how to do her job. Can't even tell you her name as she didn't introduce herself at all.

    Update 12/7/22 Military discount is literally 50 cents that's it!!! Waitress asked us if we ok once right when sat down.. never came back. Got my own refill.. A little pricy .. military discount is literally a couple bucks if that

    8-20-2022 Around 6:15.PM I'm a Presbyterian, it was only one kind of fish and one shrimp kind of shrimp, that's all that was offered for us that don't eat meat. It was a waste of 20 bucks. Of course I'm going to eat salad and vegetables but it used to be where they had different seafood not anymore. Also I don't do a lot of fried foods the fish was fried the shrimp was fried and fried horribly.. crunchy and chewy.. that was only selection they had. I'm speaking to a manager that was standing in the front when you came in the door and told her they used to be more of a selection for people that didn't eat meat. In the middle of my conversation, she handed me off to someone else without saying ma'am I'll let this gentleman help she just handed me off and walked off that was very rude. He began to tell me how it's been this way all the time and they're promoting their wings and that has nothing to do with what I was talking about. He seemed defensive as if he owned the place when I was simply saying there's not enough selection for people that are vegetarians and Presbyterians.It was a bald head guy,older wearing a gray shirt. I won't be back I spoke in a soft tone I was not argumentative and it was almost like a battle of well you should have known better we've been like for a long time and that's a lie. They used to have baked fish, fried fish, fried shrimp, chilled shrimp... It's been a long time since I've been but I know they had more than two selections of seafood so I won't be back.

    Good variety of food, however, they run out of food too quickly and they don't refill the food.

  • 5/5 Beth E. L. 1 year ago on Google
    Hubby asked where I wanted to go for lunch; I like salads. This place has a great offering of not only fresh veggies, seeds, cheeses, but mixed salads (tuna, carrot, pasta etc.), and fresh fruit as well. They have warm baked rolls, honey butter, too many entrees to list: ethnic choices, pizza, items for kids, and adults, and a large variety of desserts; candy, cobblers, 🥧s, cakes and ice cream. If your not sure what you or your group wants to eat. Go here! Great choices for everyone's appetite.

    The food was much better than others locations. Meatloaf was delicious, and steak was good. We where however disappointed that the manager decided to do an employee evaluation right next to us rather than in an office, hearing things that were none of our business.

  • 1/5 Karen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Cashier very & polite, had a nice smile. Found a table. Food wasn't bad. • I got chicken leg it was so greasy. •••Fried Fish was yummy. (No mini cups available) to put tartur sauce. ••The womens restroom (Handicap stall), the door knob is still a mess. (Soneone tried to add wood filler around the new knob), the hole is too big. •••Pineapple & cantaloupe was good. •The hot wings were good. My husband and I shared a piece of ham, it good, moist. •Our server started out nice, & attentive But later, while I was up getting desert, my husband went to restroom. The manager cleared our table, and even took my receipt. I used my debit card (I want my receipt). We had to flag down our service. •He finally came over, i need some water & advised they cleared our table I needed my receipt. Our server never came back with my water (I had carrot cake & oatmeal rain cookies to eat). Heck all I wanted was some water. "MIND" you it is tuff eat cake without silverwear. •••While in line to pay. A server came, Over to the cut in line she was needing to fill up a customers drink, didnt say "excuse me", nothing. I stopped thus woman later, she doesn't speak English, she referred me to a man standing behind her. •••(It is not that hard to learn "excuse" & Thank you). Working with the public. •The store manager on duty, isn the one that clears my table, then had to plan around to get him to get my Reciept.( I am a paper person) •Of the folks left in the restaurant, he choiceour table, I didn't see him do that too another table. (Corporate office needs to have to so some,. This location needs New major help. •Sad: the handicap stall door in womens: i took photos of the handle: the whole us too big & someone tried wood full, which looks aweful & it needs to be repaired correctly. •Worst customer service: Avoid this location.

    We enjoy the buffet on Sundays as a family day together. Always clean and the staff is very attentive. More than a great selection of various foods. Definitely something for everyone.
