I haven't eaten at this particular Golden Corral in quite a few years as we normally go to Winchester. Believe me when I say there's no comparison between the two. I definitely should've saved $80 and went elsewhere. We were given "medium well" steaks that were hard and crunchy. Most of the food looked dried out like it had been there all day. Almost everything we ate had an "off" taste. My daughter got jello and applesauce that tasted sour. Most of the food we got on our plates went back with the server. You can't get your own plates anymore which left us waiting for a while. The entire time we were there, someone came to our table 3 times. Once to get our drinks, once to take our dirty plates (no clean ones brought back), and once to ask how everything was as we were getting ready to leave. We only got 1 of our 4 drinks refilled, which is crazy considering they give you 32 oz To Go cups now. I went to the ladies room once during our visit and it was dark, run down, and dirty. Needless to say, we will NOT be returning and we will recommend others to avoid this location as well.

This place needs a health inspection nothing is clean in here. The silver ware is dirty. There is stains on the walls. I watched an employee stick a dirty cup in the ice machine to get ice. The employees are not friendly. The food has hairs in them. I watched my friend pull out two hairs in her soup. The cooks are not wearing proper gear hair nets, aprons, gloves etc. The bathrooms are disgusting. This place and every golden coral just needs to be shut down.

May be the worst place I have been to. Service was non existent, server never brought us clean plates or fresh drinks even though we saw her bring stacks of plates to other tables. Food was awful. Definitely not going back.

Had to wait 15 mins before the server brought my plates or filled my drink. Finally had to go to the cashier to get her to get someone to be my server The baked potato was over cooked to the point that you couldn't hardly cut into it. The roast beef had a good taste but most of it had been sitting long enough to dry out. same with some with the deserts. Everything was stale and the ice cream machine was not working. I've never done this, but for once in my life I didn't leave a tip. Even as a buffet, the $16.99 price is pretty high for the lack of service and the mediocre food that you get. Will not recommend or return to this location

The worst golden corral I’ve ever eaten them. It was dirty, the food was sitting there for a long time, and most of it was very cool. The spinach was laying in just water. Overall, it was very bad. I have been in many good Golden corrals, but this one is not good Nothing was

Food was decent. Our group told them months in advance that we would be coming, and they were not prepared for us. Some staff was very pleasant, others were not at all. Would not recommend bringing a large group here.

This is the most unsanitary and unpleasant Golden corral location I've been to in all of my years. The kitchen manager should be replaced immediately alpng with all the staff. The manager is rude and unprofessional and when u asked if he could put out fresh Mac n cheese he gave me dirty looks and told the kitchen manager " just warn it up to make her happy". Mind u the Mac n cheese was for my 6 year old daughter. All of the food was old and looked like slop and as if it had been sitting there for hours. All of the staff seemed as if they weren't working and just hanging around and laughing with each other. I'm calling cooperate immediately!!!

One reason I like golden corral is because their is no wait time and you don't have to wait for the bill because you pay for it all up front plus it's an all you can eat buffet and they have like EVERY SINGLE food you could imagine.

To start off, the older lady at the front counter was not very friendly. The buffet did not have many options, food wasn't great and the restraunt was pretty filthy, very disappointed in this location it has went down hill.Kid-friendliness: My kids usually aim for the pizza at Golden Corral and this location did not have that nor did they have cotton candy...

We spent $55 for 3 adults, and it definitely wasn't worth it. I have visited this location twice since the pandemic. Pre- pandemic, this was a decent place that I went not regularly but often enough. There was good variety and a few items that were staples for me. The kids loved the dessert table and all of the toppings available.The offerings looked pretty sad on my last visit. Busy Friday night, and at some point, there were only two broken taco shells on the table. A buffet should never get that low on any item. Nothing actually tastes good, but you could say that for most buffets. My main complaints are that there wasn't fresh food coming out to replenish the trays in a timely manner, lack of cleanliness and while the server initially placed 10 plates on the table to start, I eventually had to clear our table by placing the used plates on the empty table besides us because she didn't come back.

This was our 2nd time visiting and we enjoyed it. The food is so good. The waitress was very friendly and as she worked she was singing to the music that played and she had a lovely voice. We stopped here after visiting Gettysburg on our way home because we don't have a Golden Corral in our area anymore - and when we did the food wasn't as good as this one anyway.Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians I think - the salad bar is huge and there are plenty of veggies on the other bars alsoKid-friendliness: It is a very kid friendly - family friendly restaurantWheelchair accessibility: There are wheelchair accessible entrances and tablets

I recommend coming here. The food is so good. It's mouthwatering. Juicy. Everything you would want on the food. The service is alright. You just can't get your own plates anymore. The atmosphere is perfect. No babys crying. Nobody slapping your head. Just perfect.Vegetarian options: They have salads and many more.Parking: The parking lot in front of the store is packed.Kid-friendliness: They allow kids and they can give free meals to young kids.Wheelchair accessibility: No restrictions to it.
