I love the chicken from here and even the Mexican food good variety for the most part. The staff was super nice and friendly. It wasn't even overly crowded which was awesome but last time I went I did run into two elderly women staring me down the entire time. They were extremely displeased that I was there or something. I felt so unsafe and kept making it known to them that I was aware of the angry faces she was making at me but she didn't stop. I kind of wish the staff would have noticed but I also should have probably said something. Other than that bad experience everything else has always been great here.

What a disappointment! I love Golden Corral but this location was a waste of time and money. $45 for my husband and I, they had lots of meat options so good for him, I’m more of a veggie dish/side lover and they barely had anything in those categories. They had NO roles available anywhere but a huge table came in of Soccer Players and all the sudden they had plates of roles coming out directly to their table! We waited several minutes after getting our food for some utensils to where some of it went cold, and nobody came to refill our drinks, I had to get up and get it myself in their little dish/drink area.

Me and my daughter planned on having our Thanksgiving dinner here. We called in advance and was told it would close at 8. We got there about 635 and it was already closed with a sign saying they closed at 7. Normally you can get in to a place right before closing. Anyway we went in the exit door and the manager let us get plates to go or we would of been up a creek. Thanks to the manager for letting us get plates but didn't like that we had to pay more since we had to pay by the pound. Just happy we got food. Will know for next time to go early but the cowboys were playing.

This place has always felt like a little piece of my childhood, no matter which location that I go to. This place, however, goes above and beyond. The wait staff are efficient, polite, non-invasive, yet constantly aware of the needs of each table. The second that my drink was empty, a new one had replaced it before I could set my cup down. I didn't feel harassed, rushed, or anything other than welcome, and I comfortably ate until I couldn't anymore.

ROACH!! We were in mid bite and happened to glance down and a HUGE roach ran across the floor. I grabbed my stuff, told the front cashier and ran. To come out broad day light at 11am with all those people around, that is an infestation! Our server (guy) was amazing and very prompt, the workers looked happy and were busy, they need to spray or go under new management. It's not fair to the employees.

Went for Thanksgiving, dined in, also take out. The food was the very best I have ever had for any holiday meal. 10 Stars!!! Was very well planned, couldn't believe how organized each step was, from paying to sitting and enjoying a delicious meal, servers were doing excellent service( everyone should have a bonus for all their effectiveness).Thank you, I have plans to go next year ☺️

So I am sitting five feet from server station(closest to restroom). There are four servers standing there talking and using cellphones. I have gotten up three times, walked to server station and refilled my own drink! What are they getting paid for? I know they get less than minimum wage, and they work for tips. Problem is.....they are NOT WORKING! Guess what, they are not getting tip from me!!

Golden Corral’s buffet is one of my favorite spots in any city. They always have some of the best selections of foods. While the quality isn’t superb, the service and atmosphere of the staff and restaurant is always a big plus. My favorite dish has to be the pot roast they have - it’s so delicious!

Starting with the price the choice you get is good its only 16$ per person .I highly recommend trying out the french silk in the desserts section.The buffet had wide range to choose from like Mexican,Italian,American,bit of Chinese,salads soups and desserts.The staff was friendly and service is quick.The only issue I had here was place was not well kept I felt the restaurant had bit of foul smell.Otherwise its good.

This place was more than expected, the food is delicious and it has a large variety of plates, I can say it’s more than other places. And the service was incredible, always coming to our table to clean and get us the beverages. Absolutely recommended, bring your family and enjoy.

Food was good. Deserts were probably good yesterday. But what ruined the meal was the server in the next area putting stacks of plates from that area next our table. To the point of the towers almost falling.

First impression Food was fresh and hot. Good choices. Table Staff was attentive. BUT now for the bathroom it was disgusting absolutely horrific. There is no excuse for that. Cleanness is a priority in a food establishment!!! I won't go back for that reason hate to see the kitchen .

1/3/2024 Very unclean plates. Plates not dried. Chicken smells rotten bad. Uncooked chicken. Staff does not speak English. Had to communicate or ask for help. Do not recommend to go there anymore.

Reserved dining room for birthday party. Super friendly and accommodating manager and staff. Food was good but didn't realize having a lunch time slot there would not be roasted meats (pot roast, prime). Otherwise a great time and would recommend to others for private parties. More

The food was not much to my liking but it was okay, the service was on point. The atmosphere was really good. The pastry section was in abundance but would give that part 80%, overall it's somewhere to visit.

It's the worst place to eat. I keep hoping they'll get better when someone ask to go there because of the variety for a huge family outing, and then that person says afterwards they forget how bad it is...really both locations! I can

We came here Friday at night and it was not packed, there was a decent amount of people. The staff were friendly and helpful. They were on top of sanitation. The food was fresh and they kept re filling it. The plates were kind of far but it

My family and I decided to go out and eat instead of cooking dinner this year for thanksgiving and GC was great! They had everything from traditional to Mexican and everything else in between. The turkey, ham, sweet potato pie... Everything

  • Jess LDLP

If I could 0 stars I would. This place is HORRIBLE! Food is GROSS. Very Salty. Service is slow and plates were dirty. Didn’t even eat 1 full plate because of how gross it was. I remember Golden Corral on Parmer being okay but a lot better

I don't come here often but I typically come at least once a year on new years day because of a family tradition of eating certain foods and they have everything I need without having to cook it and man they do not disappoint! It's far

  • Nicholas Kummer

This was one of the BEST dinner buffets I have experienced. Everything was absolutely top notch. Only thing I didn't like was the volume of the music in the restaurant. It was loud!! Otherwise nailed everything else! More

  • A Weston

Let me tell you. I have only picked up food here and each time the service was amazing! The hosts are extremely helpful. I watched a young person handle two lines of the to go with grace and tact.

  • lyssa Gutierrez

Great service, food was fresh making 4 star due to the tight seating. Which is normal for a GC. And steaks took a while but that's another norm. Recommend for a great night out. More
