Golden Corral Buffet & Grill

The only thing that wasn't completely cold was , potato wedges, everything else I tried was cold and tasted awful. What has happened to this place, everything used to be hot and tasted good,for a buffet restaurant. The service at the counter was, like she's doing us a favor and the table was dirty, waitress was friendly,best thing at the restaurant.

How are you going to have a buffet like this and not have chicken tenders!
Boo!

Other than that, everything seemed fresh, and there is a lot to choose from. Not a whole lot that I was excited about, though. It is expensive and crowded.

Start off with i used to go to golden corral several times a month. The last 2 times I have been there have been less than pleasurable. Carving station turkey was drier than the desert sand of Arizona. Fried shrimp was cold, the girl on the grill took 4 tries to get me a Medium Rare. Fried rice was crunchy. All in all definitely not worth $20 per person, not even close!

Food was great. I noticed the price had gone up a lot since the last time we visited Golden Corral. After ordering a drink it's over $20 a person.

Roaches!! Went for a birthday party and was making my plate and roaches running on the bar. I grabbed one and took it to the manager. He asked if the roach was in the food. I told him not that I saw. No refund was offered. We left. I told the adults in my group but couldn't tell the birthday boy or kids. Kinda ruined the day.

I've been here several times however never reviewed

I'll start with the pros.

The service was great from the individual that got our drinks to the cashier to the waitress, zero complaints.

Now, the reason I am reviewing today is because of this pumpkin pie! It is by far the best pumpkin pie I have ever tasted! My boyfriend hates pumpkin anything and he even said it was really good! It tastes homemade, bursting with that spice flavor and topped with delicious cool whip, you HAVE to try it! I was surprised to even see it as an option in the winter but im so glad it was. It was the highlight of my meal!

The eggs were flavorful. The cheese grits once I doctored them up were very good. Biscuits and white gravy were really good and I am extremely picky about gravy but it has the perfect amount of salt and pepper and the consistency was perfect and it was nice to have a non meat version to choose from. The country fried steak was very good, cooked perfectly and perfect flavor. The fruit was fresh and sweet and tasty.

Now, the cons.

The waffle and churros were both absolutely terrible. By far the worst I've ever tasted. I couldn't even keep it in my mouth, I immediately spit it out. I also tried the potatoes and onions, terrible. No flavor whatsoever and the potatoes were burnt and tasted like it.

I would definitely come back and get the items that were really good. You definitely get a lot for what you pay for. They have a ton of options to choose from. I wish they had more non pork options most of the meat is pork which I don't usually partake in.

I would love to see like a steak option for steak and eggs that would push the experience over the top!

Middle of the pack Golden Corral here. Some stuff is really good, some stuff is incredibly mediocre. The selection never really seems to change. Staff is nice, but not super attentive. I’ve gone the whole meal without a refill more than once at this location. But other times the refills come often. Depends on how busy the place is. This is by far not the best or worst GC I’ve ever been to. It truly is in the middle. If I were offering suggestions to improve this specific location -

Get that fried okra extra crispy. I don’t know why but this location has the soggiest okra on the planet. Absolutely zero crisp/crunch.

Switch up some of the items, or add a few new things. I’ve gone to some GC’s in Houston, Virginia, and Chicago that had incredible selections.

The food was cold. The baked potato was so cold that my butter would not even melt. My turkey wasn't cooked. The only thing that was hot was the steak that was cut off the grill for me.
