    If you want a good value for your money, this is your place. All you can eat buffet, very difficult to keep track calories. The salad bad is good. The soup is salty and trash. The fried chick and potatoes are ok. The Mac and the cheese was terrible. I loved the cornbread. I did not try the steak, instead the beef liver was good. The Mexican section has some Mexican rice and grilled meat, beans and ground meat. The grilled meat and the rice was good. Fresh fruits are nice. I ate some bread pudding, which was decent. There were many varieties of other desserts. But I’m very picky about desserts, so did not try. Overall, visit it when you are too hungry and won’t judge the food much. The servers are good, the place was neat and clean.

    This is the best Golden Coral I’ve ever been to. Clean, variety of foods, cooked great, tasty, friendly staff, manager verification of temps and quality of food, priced great. N Omaha needs shut down. This place in Fayetteville is well managed and maintained. Cudo’s

    I feel like they have scaled down on what they offer in their variety of food, but it’s still pretty good for a quick meal with decent food. I was actually surprised how well the steak tasted today. I got mine medium rare, and it was actually pretty tasty and pretty good.

    Absolutely super! Great service, food, and price is worth it. Don't forget to have a slice of French silk pie, soooo good!

    Clean, food was great, disposable gloves were made available. Social distancing. All was fantastic. I loved it. Got senior citizen discount, bought $50 gift card and got a $10 bonus gift card back. Definitely great value for delicious dining.

    Much better than it used to be, food is flavorful and decent variety. They have scaled down the buffet but to do so in favor of increasing the quality of the food was a good move. Some things seemed like they had been sitting out a while, but overall a good experience with a good selection of meats and sides.

    My husband and I came in tonight and we are already in the car headed home (20 minutes later). To say we are disappointed is honestly a gross understatement. We decided to come in tonight because neither of us have been in a Golden Corral in years - now we remember why. Firstly, almost nothing is labeled. My husband is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and so there was VERY little he could eat. He had two plates of food total - and this man loves his food. After 20 minutes I asked if he wanted anything else and he said no so we left. I got a piece of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and a roll on my first plate - all were very greasy and immediatly made my stomach hurt. So I decided to try a salad - most of the lettuce was wilted or brown. On my last plate I got some pineapple and peaches after walking the entire line with nothing else looking close to appetizing. In total, I ate maybe 4 bites of food. The waitress was lovely - but we had to go hunt down our silverware when we first sat down with plates. The whole check-in process was very strange. On our way out I tried to find someone to speak with but could only find the check-in person who had a long line, however I did find the general manager’s card on the way out. I honestly feel like I was scammed - the food looked nothing like the website depicts and everything was mediocre at absolute best (aside from our waitress).

    I don’t like that you can’t get your own drink there. You have to wait on the cashier to do it which slows the line down but they still have a pretty good buffet. It’s not the biggest one I’ve seen but it’s pretty good. They don’t always have catfish, but they do often with hush puppies. I had fried chicken.

    It's a buffet so the atmosphere can't be all that great but the food was ok. It was he busiest day of the year for them, and the fact there was food at all and that it was warm was a plus. The staff was friendly and they were keeping it as clean as they could with all the people. (We went on Thanksgiving Day).

    It was surprisingly better than we expected or I was starving. I didn't have any major issues or problems with employees or the food. Tdd he food came out hot and our server was wonderfully awesome. She treated every table in her section the same regardless of the size. She made our daughter laugh from time to time plus made sure our drinks were kept up. It was a delight to finally see someone take pride in their work here outside of the kitchen. We will be returning and hopefully it won't take as long as this visit. Lu is an exemplary server that made sure everyone in her section was treated equally. She routinely made sure that everyone had refills and that she is available to assist if a customer needed or wanted anything. Her smile made my cold rainy visit worth getting out and visiting this location. I hope everyone that has the pleasure of having Lunas their server feels the same as I and willing to leave her a positive review of her outstanding commitment to make our day a good if not great.

    Thanksgiving buffet. It's $20 and with prices at the grocery stores, this is a pretty good deal. A tomato will cost you $2 now days at the store. Anyway, we left happy and full.

    The restaurant is clean, the food is great and so is the service. However, when I was ready to leave I needed to wash my hands. I made my way to the bathroom and as I approached I could smell something that was not food. I opened the door to the bathroom and was slapped in the face by a terrible odor!! The bathroom looked clean but there's obviously something wrong.

    Food is all kinds of comfort food: lots of meat, potatoes, bread, fried fish chicken and okra. Great dessert buffet with cobblers, pies, cakes, brownies, and soft serve ice cream. My aunt says they have the best carrot cake. There was usually a waitress around to get drinks and clear plates. The decor is spartan but it's big and bright.

    This was the freshest food I've ever had from a buffet. The person running the steak grill has seasoning down to an art. AND he knows what medium rare looks like. The atmosphere is what you expect from a buffet. The service is my only knock on the visit. The plates from 3 visits to the bar piled up before someone came and removed them. Tipped well anyways. Note: Even when service is lacking... tip them well anyways. You never know what might be affecting their day, and tips are how some feed their families.

    Meat loaf is great the sides they have are lacking on freshness. Manager needs to keep better eye the quality of the food on the buffet. Over all a good value but management could def do better staying on top of rotation of fresh food!

  • 5/5 Aspyn H. 1 year ago on Google
    Came around 7:30 food was amazing buffet was great it was kind of busy so servers were busy. I’m sure they are usually more attentive but they have a lot going on. All very kind and ready to help if we need anything! Had a question about the pricing and manager was quick to explain everything to me. Overheard another customer complaining about not having enough tables so I felt the need to come publicly praise this location because I can see everyone working hard and trying to be helpful.

    So we brought 230 kids+ adults through here. And the staff was friendly, patient, and supportive to help us get situated! The food and drinks was good, especially the shack bite lemonade! I'm looking forward to coming back!

    Recently ate here and it was the best it’s ever been! The steak was cooked to perfection! Salad bar has been updated with tons of fresh veggies and fruits! Spinach and spring mix, as well! Our server, Raegan, was a delight! This will definitely not be the last time we eat here! Whether you want meat and potatoes, or are looking for vegan options they have you covered!

    They quit serving jumbo shrimp. All they serve now is popcorn shrimp. Their meatloaf sux. Sometimes their food sets to long and starts cooling down. They could put pork chops on the buffet if they would

  • 4/5 Avis R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good. But so many very overweight adults are so huge coming to eat here, it is disgusting Americans really overeat. One older man really didn't fit his overalls, and his body bottom areas was protruding showing his depends, really gross to see. I was just trying to have a nice outing with my husband that day.

    We need refill and my wife need her coffee, it’s been 30min. Hahha unbelievable

  • 5/5 Ksharon D. 1 year ago on Google
    I was fresh out of the hospital from a long stay and the manager Anna was a gift from God! She personally prepared my food and hand delivered it curbside collecting my card for payment and returning it to me with a large sweet tea on her! I will never forget how kind she was to me at a fragile time. I am getting better and I can't wait to dine in! She's amazing guy's!☺ God Bless You Ms. Anna

    This is a good place, but what makes a good place is its employers. The person who attended us tonight was Jermey, and he was very nice and he was a hard worker.

  • 5/5 Tonya N. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this place it's always busy and sometimes they run out of certain foods and you have to wait or the food that's left there's not much of it and it gets kind of cold but the last couple of times I've been there the steak has been great not exactly as I like my steaks medium rare and a lot of times they don't they have them as rare as I like but all the other food is wonderful you can go there and everybody can get exactly what they want and plenty of it. I do have somewhat of a complaint though it's with the customer not the place, there are some parents that let their children run wild and some who just let them and eat until they get sick and that's not good for anyone. I've had more than one meal here ruined because of this. I do wish at some point they bring back the chocolate fountain because I love chocolate covered strawberries, they have them but there's like one per bowl and it's already done for you and I feel like a glutton taking what I want. For me it's a little pricey but I mean for what you get it's well worth the price and the staff are very helpful.

    Great food and a lot of food choices! The other day we decided to take our food home. The price of a meal changes if you take your food home. You pack your containers with whatever you want and then pay by the pound! They way it on your way out.
