Oh my gosh, you have to try the Red Pozole and fajita steak with green peppers and onions! They’re absolutely incredible. I couldn’t stop eating them, and I’ll definitely be back for more. Thanks a bunch for sharing this amazing dish with me! 😊

Golden Corral offers a vast buffet spread that’s perfect for families or anyone craving variety, with everything from carved meats and fresh salads to decadent desserts that can satisfy a sweet tooth. The food quality is hit-or-miss—some dishes like the fried chicken and mashed potatoes are reliably tasty and hot, while others, such as the overcooked veggies or bland pasta, feel like they’re just filling space. Service is friendly but can get chaotic during peak hours, and the cleanliness of the dining area sometimes leaves something to be desired with sticky tables and crowded stations. Overall, it’s a decent value for the price if you’re in the mood for all-you-can-eat comfort food, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark for a standout dining experience.

Sadly, this was not the best franchise restaurant. The biscuits were undercooked, and the apple juice was bitter.

Pot roast was rather tuff and unbeatable. Staff was not aware of what food items needed to be replenished. Waitress was responsible for refilling our drink and she never asked we had to request.

Overall it’s a good buffet to bring your family. When my parents come visit from out of town we come eat breakfast here on Sundays. The staff is very friendly and help accommodate for the 7 of us. We love the juice machine that they have next to the desserts (which my 6 and 2 year old love).

Update 11/05/2025
I was there at 1pm for lunch. Buffet was picked clean, and the remaining food looked like it was there since they opened. I took a cheeseburger, breaded shrimp, mashed potatoes, rice, corn. Took to my table to eat. The cheeseburger was well done and dry. The bun terrible the top was cold and the bottom was like a brick from sitting on the hot plate. Shrimp was cold. And my server Maribel would come by and ask me if I wanted a refill but never brought it to me. I was so fed up I finish what I could and left. What a terrible experience ever.

Was there early dinner at 3:30 in-between lunch and dinner. Still very good and Employees helpful.
Cleaner than most buffet restaurants, Food is good.

With the price they charge..I feel they are lacking in food. Everything is empty and messy. You wait..we got a piece of steak burnt beyond one could eat that..This place needs some better management...
