Edit: The atmosphere for kids is wack. Everything be great all the way up until the claw machine games. They have the claws set way too loose. Doesnt even matter if you get 6 tries. The roast beef is my favorite! I have yet to try everything! I get so stuffed after eating my main favorite entrees, lol! Always fresh and hot (temperature) I dont eat here often but when I do its never disappointing! Ive never been here during a busy day/time so the wait time is little to no wait for a table. Our waitress never let our cups get empty. I forgot her name but and I wish I could give her recognition. She worked today may 11, 2021 and didnt get off until 4pm. She worked on the left side of the restaurant by the restrooms. My aunt and her husband knew her quite well. So if I get a name I will update my review. I would recommend a seat in her section anytime!

The buffet was good. They didnt allow to take a video in a restaurant. I didnt like it as I am a tourist and I love to visit and share videos and photos of restaurants, their food and share these with other people who plans to visit that restaurant. You have to choose the drink that you are going to drink in advance. It was disappointing as we expected to have a choice to refill and try different drinks because it is a buffet. Please be careful if you dont eat pork - many items are cooked with pork. You should ask it from restaurant crew. Beef steaks were dry. Kids enjoyed ice-cream and cotton candy. Chicken drumsticks were really good and you can find them cooked with variety sauces. Also, you will get $5 off when you download and register with their app. Vegetarian options: You can build your own vegetarian plate. There are a lot of vegetables by itself - fresh and baked. Parking: They have their free parking lots for restaurant guests. Kid-friendliness: Ice-cream, cotton candy, chicken tenders

Been going there a long time as of late it feels as though they have lost the family vibe in their staff which I use to love they seem more standoffish and u get more of a customer vibe like your just the dollar.

Food was mid, with the exception of the ribs and mac and cheese. The dessert unfortunately was the worst part of the experience. Lots of flies but the tables were clean and the staff was very friendly. Overall great value, but the atmosphere was super loud and annoying. I d recommend bringing AirPods if you re just popping in by yourself for a quick lunch buffet.

My mom took my brother, for his birthday, to his favorite place to eat. While there the MOD (manager on duty) mentioned they are hiring. When my mom mentioned he has a bit of a disability the MOD straight up told her they do not hire people with disabilities! That is straight up discrimination against someone with a disability, which his case isn t obvious. I called HR and waiting to hear back. If I find out the person who discriminated against my brother I will gladly want a reason why he rejected a person like my brother and demand he apologize for being an ignorant fool! One star for discriminating against people with disabilities!

The Food was good steak was great! The prices are pretty affordable about $70 serves a family of 4 with a child buffet and drinks, the room where we were eating was I guess like a break room for employees because I saw them seated resting unless they were waiting for us to leave it felt kind of like that constantly asking for our used plates which I get that but they had some big containers with dirty plates real close to our table and that was kind gross to be honest, the place was packed and very busy so I assume thats why it looked a little dirty but overall was a decent experience.

Honestly it was disgusting. Haven t been in a while and this reminded me why. Dirty plates & silverware, aloof waiters, slop food. My wife tried about 15 different items and literally spit out half of them. Ended the day with a pile of napkins full of chewed food instead of a good time. Never again.

A cook asked how I wanted it to be cooked and when it was done he cut it and showed me for approval. They have very wide variety of food, desserts, fruits and vegetables. Everything is fresh and you can see people cooking it behind the food counters. Also everything is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much and we definitely will be back! Vegetarian options: Salads, fresh vegetables and fruit, sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, macaroni and cheese, vegetable casseroles and lots of desserts. Parking: In front of the buffet building plenty of parking

Had it been the Golden corral in quite a while so I didnt really know what to expect. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. Half of the items at the buffet were missing which really limited what you could get. They require you to get your drink from a server, which is weird considering its a buffet so that you have to tip. Its already about 20 bucks for the buffet and a drink and then having to tip for someone. Bringing you a soda once or twice during your stay is kind of ridiculous instead of making it self-serve like the food. The food I was able to get wasnt as good as what I remembered from another Golden corral I had been to. As far as the atmosphere, it was to be expected, lots of families there letting their kids run around all over the place and grab food out of the buffet.

We stopped at Golden Corral during our school field trip in May 2024. Kimberly made reservations and the check in process so easy, and quick. There ware 110 guests, elementary school children and teachers. Food was hot and delicious. Restaurant was clean and the servers were very helpful. I highly recommend this place for its hospitality, food quality and price. Thank you to all the staff for making this a memorable experience for our students! Kid-friendliness: Servers, hosts and cooks were happy to help our students choose a food option. They had enough variety that each child was able to eat something they enjoyed.
