    We had breakfast here. Everything was very clean we got here at 830am. Food was fresh and hot. Wait staff was very very friendly and quick. There was a lot of options for thr price. We spent $25 for 2 of us. Ate well and left happy.

    This place closes at 10 pm. We came in at 8:30. Do not go there after about 8 pm. The food I did pick was decent however they do NOT cook fresh food after a certain time. And many of the choices were empty or had old food in the trays that never got re-filled with fresh items. If they are going to serve old food there should be a discount for late comers or at least tell the customers that no fresh food will be put out. Or just close down at 8 pm. Another thing is the bathrooms were filthy. All the employees just wanted to leave it seemed like it. Try and do better Golden Corral.

    Service was great! My tea glass was never empty. I eat thinks that couldn't make me sick. I gave it 3 stars, because some of the food was bad. The red chili was too old. So was the posole was also bad.

    The food and the dessert areas are very good! But the dessert area is not good about keeping enough chocolate pies and the area with the cakes is very messy and it's never cleaned up and the utensils are full of cake stuff and the utensils need to be washed each time and that will be a bad mark with the state and the county inspections. And the soup area there are no spoons and a person has to ask for a damn soup spoon when you don't have any. Just regular spoons for coffee and not even for iced tea. Golden Coral has too get together and have a employee and management meeting and get everything corrected before I will call the inspectors?

    It's been over 10 years since eating at GCB&G and the location has been updated and the food remains good. I can't complain too terribly much about the food as there was a wide range of choices. However, the labels on said choices were way off, for example, the dinner rolls were labeled as jalapeno cornbread, which would have been delicious if it was on the table. Several things had labels, but didn't match up or there was no label at all. That doesn't help anyone who may have dietary restrictions. Labels could use some work. Plenty of options to sit, plates readily available, service was good and staff was friendly. Hot food was hot, cold options were chilled. Tables were cleared in a timely manner and drinks were filled promptly. One of my biggest complaints are for the card machines- for the love of your business- please update those. They look like they have been through hell and I felt awful for the front staff having to make excuses for the janky machines. Finagling with cords and wires just to get it to read cards. It shouldn't take roughly 8 minutes of messing with the machine to get it to work. We felt bad for the staff and in addition to that we almost decided to leave because it was embarrassing to stand there waiting on this to work as if it was our card being declined. A bunch of people were just watching while they ate- super embarrassing and it wasn't even our fault. Do you want our money or nah? Fix that, please.

    You changed my 4 to a 5 GC! Yesterday the steak was FANTASTIC! And the onion rings were FABULOUS! It was all so good that I bypassed dessert to have seconds! Wait staff were friendly and quick! Everything was fresh and delicious!

    (Update) place got a lot better then my last visit. It took a little time to get our drinks but after we got a different waitress she took care of us. (2 Star)This place is always dirty and the food looks like it's been sitting there forever. I itsss to love coming here but it's definitely gone down hill.

    Stay away!!! One of THE worst experiences I've had at a Golden Corral. The waitress Anjelica couldn't care less about us (and when she did come to the table she had an attitude), the food was old, the staff was standing around acting like asking a simple question was putting them out, and there were lines of people waiting for food/plates/silverware. I can't believe they're still in business.

    Better than most locations. Have local taste influence, which makes it more interesting than other locations. Negative - soup bar closed early at weekday dinner. Excellent service! Recommend!

  • 5/5 M Walker A. 5 months ago on Google
    GC put on a great event for the military and veteran folks this past Monday. The food was fresh and plentiful and free for Vets and military. The management really went all out to honor the Vets with spoken words of honor, an honor/color guard and an excellent prayer. Good job!

    The food quality is worse than MREs. However, for a 12$ breakfast with coffee included and a desert bar, I can't complain. The signs in the neighborhood brought me in, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional customer service that makes up for the mediocre food quality. The cashier was so friendly, the manager checked on us. The cooks and servers were great, too! Clearly, the new owner cares about people and the customer experience. It shows by the quality of the Manger and how they treat the staff. Thank you for opening the location up again, I will support you!

    This was the first time I ate here. I generally don't go for buffets anymore and this experience reminded me why. It's probably great for many, just not me. There's a lot of options which are the good and bad thing. Decent, but not "great." I almost finished my meal before I got my drink too.

    Great Breakfast! Friendly staff and a very clean restaurant with good food

    Great new remodel, feels cozy! Great weekend brunch. Food was spectacular, they have really stepped up especially with the red potato bliss and green Chile chicarones at breakfast.....you gotta try it . Staff and Managers seem so much happier which makes the dining room even cozier.

  • 5/5 Cheryl J. 7 months ago on Google
    Phenomenal! My 1st experience ordering online through Grubhub.. Wow, is all I can say! I am superbly impressed. Whaaaat did I get? This chicken was as close to perfect as it gets! My only critique would be that it is a tad too salty (I am a salt eater).. everything was as close to perfect as I could get! Portion, cost, and delivery! I called the restaurant to express my gratitude, and was greeted at probably the busiest time of a Saturday evening by the manager (8/19/23 @6 pm) who was equally as grateful for the review, and took the time to listen to my praise. I will certainly order again, and visit in person when I get a chance, and I encourage anyone who loves fried chicken to check it out!! Thank you!

    This place has been remodeled, staff is obviously taking pride in what they do, the food is fabulous. We had gotten to where we would not go here anymore because it had gotten dirty and service was bad a few years back, but they have really turned things around. I’m glad that we went back and even worked with the managers to have a retirement party in their private space and had the best experience ever! Accommodating, welcoming and so helpful in every way. Special thanks to part of our wait staff, Monica! She’s fabulous, request her. JP the manager is just an amazing human and so easy to communicate with and work with. Ro, who helps with all locations is the reason we decided to go back. Received one of her email blasts about all the positive changes that had been made and took a chance. Great job, Golden Corral Coors and I-40!

    Everything about our visit was great. Staff was pleasant and welcoming. Food tasted great. And it was kinda crowded but we all spoke to each other and shared stories. Was a very fine evening.

    Went for a weekend brunch with Grandpa. I hadn't been here for years. I have to say, if you are hungry, a buffet is the way to go! The lunch menu was just set up following breakfast, and so it seemed like the ideal time to arrive. I mostly ate the butterfly shrimp, which were amazing and fresh. The steak was thick and cooked just right, which surprised the heck out of me. I usually take a few bites of items that i don't feel are too fresh or tasty, but I ate that whole steak! The dessert was not as good, but the soft serve ice cream got the spot. The service was also to notch. Our waitress was very attentive and filled drinks several times. She also removed plates as quick as we finished them. Overall, awesome lunch! Will definitely go more often.

    Good variety of items on bars. Quite pricey..... Almost $40 for 2 people. I had gastric bypass surgery and most of my stomach is gone. I shared it with lady at register and told her how they accommodated me on previous visits. Even asked for a manager but she ignored me and went ahead and charged me full price. This was very disappointing. Waiter was attentive and friendly

  • 4/5 Eric M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had salad and baked fish and green peas and mashed potatoes and fried fish and vitamins water and chicken noodle soup with chunks of potatoes and peas and it was delicious. The chocolate cake wasn't that amazing. Maybe step up the desserts and focus on updating the interior. Seemed a bit old school.

  • 3/5 Corvette S. 1 year ago on Google
    The pineapple with shredded carrots and raisins was spoiled, BLAH!,, the fried okra & green beans & yams tasted like the broiler pan, BLAH!. Fried & baked chicken was good.

  • 3/5 Tami D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food!! But OH MY GOSH!!!! Change the music!!! Hearing the same five songs the entire time you're there is torture!!! We've been here three times during our visit and the music is the same five songs every single time! I used to like Walking On Sunshine, not anymore hearing it fifty times!!!

  • 5/5 Leslie O. 1 year ago on Google
    Was awesome went for mother's day it was packed but they handled it didn't take long at all was delicious. Went again for my daughter's birthday weekend again was delicious still busy not as busy but busy. Only thing was a/c was on so high our food was cold in a matter of minutes overall good stuff.

  • 4/5 Maria L. 1 year ago on Google
    Their signature dinner rolls with the honey butter are amazing. They have not changed this in years. For a family, this is a good place to go if everyone is in the mood for something different. Their desserts could use some great improvement though.

  • 3/5 CJ D. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good, our server was super nice. The cooking employees are something else though, they didn't fill a lot of the food, they pulled a McDonald's and ran out of ice cream, dishes were dirty you had to go through like 10 plates to find a clean one. The cashier's rather talk to each other then do their jobs, but guess that's the world we live in now.
