    I give 3 stars because I've read beforehand that 3-star reviews tend to be more honest. Before moving to the area, it had been a couple hour drive to the nearest G.C. I'm glad that commute has been cut down. Reasonably priced and a great selection of food to choose from. The servers are on point with taking plates away, and offering refills. I'm not sure what time it stops, but if you arrive around 11AM there is breakfast food (biscuits and gravy 🤤). They do offer a rewards program for those who are repeat buffet goers.

    Went to the Loveland location at 330 on a sat. Was not busy at all, but yet they seemed to have a hard time keeping food replenished. Then the waitress came to our table once the entire time we were. Probably because it would have cut into the time they were using to talk to other employees. For whatever reason, they tell you were to sit! I can understand if it was packed, but it wasn't at all!! Food is not worth the $16 either.

    I have avoided this restaurant for years and was there more for other family members. Last week, we returned to find a buffet restaurant I can only say good things about. There seemed to be no shortage of workers, and Gavin, who was in charge of helping those in our area was an expert at keeping our table cleared of used dishes and asking if we needed drink refills. Every worker I saw was busy and pleasant all the time. I saw Avery give a high-five to a guest she guided to her area, and she got a big smile in return. I also saw her run to get a broom when someone dropped a piece of chocolate cake on the floor; that didn't seem to be her job. Of course, all the food I had was good, but I was surprised that the fried fish was tasty and cooked just right (not easy to find). Because I was noticing how the management must have improved, I also looked around to see everything clean, carpet, vacant tables, serving areas, even clean vents; I rarely see any business that seems to care about cleaning vents. Kudos to managers and employees of this buffet restaurant. We wiil be back.

    Food and service were fine and as expected. The bathroom with changing table was filthy. Feces and toilet tissue all over the place. Asked for it to be cleaned to change the baby and waited at least 20 mins for someone to do so. By this time the baby was wet as his diaper had leaked and his clothes wet. Server was apologetic she told the manager who went into the kitchen and told someone else to clean it. Then when someone came they were clearly annoyed. Walked round the dirty restroom and did not seem to see an issue. Another customer had to translate for my Daughter that the change table needed to be cleaned as the employee could only say she didn’t speak any English. Even then it had broken straps and a scratched up bed making it hard to clean. is no one checking this? We asked to speak to the manager Myra who was on the floor on her cell phone and took her sweet time to come over. When she did her attitude sucked and although she gave a apology it came across rudely including the eye rolling. Her customer service skills need work.

    Must have new management in place or hired a better Corporate Chef. Food outstanding! Chicken crisp fried a tender juicy, steak better cut! Enjoyed it very much! Only thing I would mention it hot plates for my cold salad🤔

    I’m giving four stars as an average between five stars for the staff at this location and three stars for the food/price. The staff was superb, in fact, I haven’t had such friendly and attentive service while dining out in quite some time. The food however… I’ve eaten at this location in the past and the quality and selection of foods offered has definitely declined, no two ways about it. In my personal opinion, the foods offered for the price you’re paying for them is outrageous. I’m glad we went, it had been awhile, but I think my appetite and their prices have changed too much for me to return anytime soon. Thank you to the wonderful staff though, you hands down saved this dining experience for me.

    Food poisoning. Foods under regulation temp. On 3/23/23 my husband and I had lunch at Golden Corral, it was the only thing I had to eat that day. I should have known there was something wrong when the food was warmish, and nothing was hot. Everything was under temp. Normally, when we go there, there is steam coming off the food, but not this time. Later that evening my symptoms kicked in and after suffering through the night I almost went to the ER for fluids because I couldn't keep anything in me. Please use caution before eating here. It used to be a great place to have a meal, but it has greatly declined of late.

    There is always a variety of foods but it is never hot unless you get something from the grill. Dessert is always nice. The staff that pick up your dishes and refill your drinks are pleasant. There were quit a few people in there so I wonder why we couldn't have more hot food. However the salad bar had a nice selection of fresh fruit.

    Ordered a carrot cake and a pan of brownies (on the app) for a birthday party. It was a wonderful experience. Everything worked like it was supposed to. The Order was ready on time, very pleasant employees. Will try this again. Also the food was exceptional.

    We love the Golden Corral! Every time we've been there, the food is always fresh. One time we went closer to closing time and we thought we would just get overheated food that's been sitting there and there wouldn't be too many options, but we were wrong! They kept bringing out the food and it was fresh! The service is awesome! All around a great place to eat!

    My family and I treat ourselves to this buffet about once a month. The thing that stands out most is the current manager that has been here for years! He is always on the floor, engaging with guests and employees. Delightful, upbeat, and on top of things... I think that fact must speak volumes about the way this establishment is run, the great people that work here, and the experience I have here every time, no fail...

    So I just came to eat some food with my family and don’t get me wrong I love the food but I had went to the restroom and there was a huge spider crawling into my stall. Also I dunno but whenever I come here I always throw up, but also I eat a lot of food so maybe that is why. Overall 3 out of 5.

    Just like always having to tell someone else's Hispanic child to keep there hands out of the food on the bar. He was getting marshmallows and putting them in his bowl then licking them and putting them back. I told him to stop and he ran off. So I let the waitress know and both managers. One manager was looking for the kid already because the kid spilled the marshmallows on the floor. And ran him down and actually reprimanded his mother which I was super surprised. But after seen the kid do that ruined my thoughts of anything else to eat. Especially off the dessert bar. But what I had up to that point was good. And it was by all means not the restaurants fault. Maybe the cooks behind the dessert bar could have caught it sooner if they paid a little more attention. I will be back. If I'm in the area.

    This is the best, most organized Golden Corral I've ever been to. The atmosphere was relaxed, the employees seemed to enjoy their job, the customers were happy and friendly and it was well organized and clean. Also we got a much better choice of food here vs the one in Grand Junction that we live closer to. Nice change of scenery

    Great deal and a fun place to try new foods. I miss the coconut cookies and chocolate fountain, but they have cotton candy now. I'm not sure its an even trade off but nobody asked me. I go for the steak, cooked how you like, salad with tons of toppings, the mashed potatoes and the grilled jalapenos. People can be rude in the line to enter and they probably aren't staffed enough (to no fault of their own) to "police" the line but once you can get past that, we do enjoy the restaurant and the food is kept up and kept clean and presented nicely and the waiters that take your plates and get your drinks have always been nice here. Remember to tip!

    Staff was great, the food not as much. On the positive side, their bread pudding is delicious though. This is definitely a quantity over quality option.

  • 3/5 Mike G. 6 months ago on Google
    There's not much you can say about Golden Corral other than, it's Golden Corral. The food is decent and it is on par with other buffets. I will say however that there was a young lady who was waitstaff who kept stopping by the table and making sure that my family was taken care of proper. She was nice.

    I don't typically make bad reviews, but this takes the cake for bad food, $23.94 meal. First time I have been to a Golden Corral in over 10 years. Went for Thanksgiving dinner at the last minute. The food was horrible, I seriously could have gotten a better meal at a homeless shelter. How one makes turkey taste so bad is beyond me. Green beans swimming in thicken milk, potatoes straight out of a dry flake bag, gravy tasted like water, and the stuffing had no flavor. The cranberry sauce was great, and the Ham was okay. Personally, I would not recommend it.

    I went to Golden Corral on Thanksgiving day. The food was great but it took an hour and twenty minutes to be seated, the line was so long! Also it cost me $24. Way more than usual. The serving staff was running ragged! Not their fault... The food was excellent, and the ham was very, very good! Fantastic selection of foods to enjoy!

  • 4/5 Alain P. 11 months ago on Google
    Not a bad place if you don't know where to eat. A lot of variety , multiple options for all ages. Food is pretty decent for a buffet but don't go exciting high quality, a family atmosphere and a good service.

  • 2/5 Jayy 6 months ago on Google
    Overall the food was fine, no issues with the food. But the restaurant was far from clean, the cups offered up were dirty, and the table we were sat at smelled strongly of vomit. I get accidents happen, especially in a buffet, but making efforts to get rid of the smell before seating people near it would be appreciated...

  • 3/5 Debra T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for Sunday lunch, it was really expensive. The steak was medium rare, but it was still tough. Some of the employees were great, others looked like they wanted to be somewhere else.

  • 5/5 lynn J. 1 year ago on Google
    we frequent golden corral because my daughter loves to have pizza and mac & cheese and ice cream and maybe cotton candy so this is the only place I can really appease her so when we go out once a month or once every three months, this will be where we go and the staff here is freight. There is one manager that is always making sure that his staff is running their butts off. He is a very good coordinator. I love seeing him in action. They never make you feel rushed. They always make sure that you have sodas and everything you need it. I have never had a bad experience here and I go very often.

  • 5/5 Ernesto C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection and the cooks do a better job than at other Golden Corral restaurants that I’ve gone to.

  • 4/5 Kyle B. 10 months ago on Google
    It's a big buffet. There isn't really an atmosphere to be had. The food is good but not great. I was able to eat a mostly protein meal, which was beneficial. I resisted all the other things I can't eat on my diet. So it was a healthy meal for me due to all the options.

  • 3/5 Tabatha B. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped here on our was to Estes for my sons birthday, he loves this place. Most of the buffet items were empty, the rolls were hard. The dessert section was empty. And the employees that were supposed to be filling everything were just standing back behind the bars like they didn't have a care. We were pretty disappointed as we hadn't been to a golden corral in years.

    Very Good clean place to bring the family food is always hot n ready 😋 5 star 🌟 If u ask me!

  • 4/5 jacob c. 1 year ago on Google
    I will say that the food was great have no complaints about that. Now when it came to the service I was disappointed in the fact that I had to flag down one of the waitresses just to be able to get a refill on the drink and then my waitress that was actually helping with my table didn't actually come over and introduce yourself to almost 30 minutes after I've been there. So that's why I'm giving them three stars on service in the atmosphere was decent, and like said before the food was on point.

  • 4/5 Richard S. 1 year ago on Google
    Front counter staff and server/waitress was amazing. The staff behind the buffet were quick to get food out when running low and the food was good. I will point out that the roast beef wasn't very good and many of the desserts leave much to be desired but other than that it was great. Seems to be getting better just hope they keep it up and work on the problem areas. We hope to return soon.

  • 3/5 Matt I. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a buffet, always busy. Staff is almost different every time my family visits (about once a month or two) but are usually nice. Most of the food is good/worth the price. Salad bar is always fresh.

  • 5/5 David H. 1 year ago on Google
    I took my GF there as a joke because she hated chain restaurants in general and has a low opinion of places like this. We were both pleasantly surprised with the food quality. They have upped their game since I went years ago. Would totally go back and bring the kids next time. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Julie F. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is always fresh and good, the only reason why I did not give it five stars is because I think it's a little bit ridiculous to charge so much on Sunday. For me my husband my dad and my 7-year-old grandson to eat with $68 and I didn't even get a drink, that's not including a tip. For just a couple dollars more, you could go to four winds casino buffet.

  • 5/5 Steven P B. 1 year ago on Google
    First time I ate at this location. Good value for the price. I arrived at 3:30pm and got the lunch price. The food selection is great including deserts. The service was very good and the place was clean.

  • 4/5 Amanda C. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to Golden Corral on Mother's Day for breakfast because mom likes it. We never eat as much food as we paid for. I get it,though, with the cost for diesel gas for the semi trucks, food cost going up, paying people to refresh your drinks or take the used plates off the table. I wish they would get nicer plates. I also need to add because as my mother said "you get your food faster and as much as you want with a great selection for everyone." Thank you🙂
