Golden Corral Buffet & Grill

Showed up . Food was ok , burned my mouth on something super hot that shouldn't have been that hot. Got 2nd degree burn in my mouth. That tell you it's overly hot. People there seem to be out of practice with what needs to be done per department . Told lady I burned my mouth and she laughed walked away.. I guess it is what it is

Daniel and his staff were so attentive to the to customers at Santa Maria restaurant. The food and atmosphere were amazing. Visiting this restaurant from Salinas CA. My husband loves this establishment. We have visited others a little farther down south. No comparison. Nice and very clean. We travel a lot on this route and this thus far will be one of our favorite .

I like because of all different food

I am so sick of repeatedly seeing their commercial on television. Consequently, I will never go to that place

I come to eat here occasionally and they always have a fresh selection of delicious food. The staff are friendly and attentive. Even my kids, who are picky eaters, enjoy eating here.

The food is good, but I am a very selective person with food and for those who are not, I think it would be perfect

Kid-friendliness: I think there is a lot of healthy food although there is no specific food for children

First time in a long time to go to a golden corral. The one in our city did not overcome covid. The service was pretty good but we were the last group to come in. Appears to be a new place so it was pretty good. Typical buffet food. Only thing I know is that everyone in our group went away full with no complaints

I wanted to be a fan however left GC in Santa Maria disgusted and disappointed. First off, we were charged for dinner when we dined here earlier this week. Breakfast had just ended so that didn't make sense since it was lunch time, not dinner time. I didn't make a big deal as I had a coupon, but the cashier did not let me use the coupon and called her supervisor over. He looked at the coupon and said he couldn't accept it because it didn't have a barcode. There was a code on the coupon he could have manually entered. We ended up wasting $80 bucks on food that was just OK.

What really killed it was the restroom situation. We had been on the road for about 3 hours and popped into the restroom real quick before hitting the buffet. The restroom was absolutely FILTHY. DISGUSTING. It smelled like sewage and it was clear that the toilets had had overflown at some point in the morning as the floor in all of the stalls were wet and dirty. Each available stall my kiddos and I walked into was not flushed and had open garbage bins sitting on top of the toilet that were filled to the top almost overflowing. The only stall that was flushed and didn't have urine all over the seat had a garbage bin with toilet paper up top covered in smeared feces with was close to eye level when we walked in. It was so gross! We obviously didn't use that stall and waited for another. The sink area was a mess as well with some of the soap stations without soap. Luckily we found one with soap.

The handles of the serving spoons, tongs, etc. were sticky. The food as I mentioned was just OK. I wanted to start off with a salad, but the salad options didn't look too fresh. The lettuce looked wilted. I got some biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were hard and the gravy didn't taste very good. You could tell they don't add milk to it as it was flavorless.

I appreciated that there were hand sanitizing stations available which we used after touching the sticky serving utensils. We ended up losing our appetites and left after eating only a little bit of food. Basically don't take the chance of eating here unless you want to leave hungry, disgusted or sick which is how we felt after dining here. A waste of $80 bucks! I told my husband we should have eaten at Olive Garden instead down the road.

I cannot complain too much, considering the low price. Many food are too salty. don't recommend the grilled steak, which is low quality beef. recommend mushrooms.

Majority of the food was very salty and undercooked. Waitress forgot to bring out our drink order which took her like 20 minutes after being seated. Had to go up twice to asked for someone to serve the drinks. Mind you, the restaurant was not that busy.
