Golden Corral Buffet & Grill

I visited Golden Corral recently with my friends. Overall, it was a pretty average experience. The food was okay—exactly what you expect from a buffet. Some items were decent (the fried chicken and yeast rolls were good), but other stuff, like the pizza and some of the vegetables, was a bit lukewarm and bland. Nothing amazing, but nothing I couldn't eat. The main thing I noticed was the smell when you first walk in. There is a very distinct, heavy "meaty" smell in the air that hits you at the door. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but it's definitely noticeable. However, you really can't beat the price for the variety. If you go in with the right expectations-knowing you're paying for quantity over quality-it is worth the money. Just don't expect a fine dining experience.

We had a large party of 28 planned at 6pm. We were situated in the last party room on the left. There was plenty of food still on the buffet. The variety was great. These that had steak said it was cooked just right. Everything was excellent. Wait staff came around with beverages. The noise level would have been quieter if both doors were closed. It was surprising, the price hike but that is our world today. Management is very nice but make sure to double check reservations for your group. We were posted for the next day. Good thing we double checked.

The only reason I posted the one star is because Stephanie was a kind and lovely waitress. I would never come back here, the food has gotten worse since I was here a decade ago. The tuna had no taste, the corn muffin wrapper was stuck to the bread and was incredibly stale. The baked potato was brown, very unappetizing to look at, I've never seen a potato that brown, as if it was sitting there for days. The bread was a tough, I guess I came a little later, but I wasted my money. It cost $16 per person not including the 2.99 drinks. I barely liked the funnel cake, it was not fresh. The baked ziti was overcooked. The cheese sauce that came out the pump looked disgusting and nearly brown. There nothing I liked on my plate. I came with high hopes because I used to love this place, so I was very

Stephanie my biological mother is a great server. Eyeworks there briefly their food is amazing and in this economy it's the best bang for your buck. I didn't see any roaches any bugs it was very clean.

Came to dinner around 4 and it was very busy! There was a baby shower and large party of people arriving from a funeral, I believe, and even with all the chaos and people our waiter was very attentive! Their food was good, I will say the steak was a bit tough in some areas and the chicken was a little under cooked for my liking, but overall a nice dining experience.
