Golden Corral

Just remodeled — looks like a brand new restaurant inside and out!
They have improved their game quite a bit since they became corporate and no longer run by Frisch’s Corp.
The staff is great and management really wants you to enjoy your visit.
I wish they would bring back their prime rib or wings on buffet instead of just staying with same old brisket and smoked turkey or whatever it is.
But for the money lunch can’t be beat!

Went here b/​c it was their regrand opening. Says new menu, new look. Place looks great. Food, it was bad. First I had to call to see if they were open, says 1045 on window, doors were locked still at 1053. Waited for cashier after coming in. Got a mtn dew, tasted like soap, then got water and a tea. All food, but fried chicken was warm at best. I tried 12 different items and I couldn’t believe how poor quality the food was. If you had seen the macaroni, it looked like it was days old, burnt, and cheese was so overcooked and brown, I couldn’t even try it. If your looking for a good lunch this is not the place to be. Ending, I saw the manager temping all the products without sanitizing the probe after each use. 1. That is cross contamination and 2, if your allergic to anything, they are adding what’s on that probe to other items. Using a dirty rag to clean that probe can’t be what golden corral standards are right??? I will never be back and I hope a district manager sees this so they can fix the quality of food here.

This is only a review for **breakfast** and the rating is somewhere between a 2.5 and 3.00 depending on the item that you are choosing.
The winners: Biscuits, dark sausage with spice pepper in it (usually next to bacon), gravy, breakfast burrito, half smokes, omelet bar. hash browns (but only when they don’t put salsa taste in it — one occasion only).
The so so: coffee, bacon, chicken fried bacon (one time it was pretty good because it wasn’t so greasy), french toast (no sugar), salad bar (not as much fruit on it as I would hope)
The losers: Scrambled eggs that were cold, the lighter sausage (no flavor), oatmeal and grits (way to runny!),
In fairness, i haven’t tried the pancakes, or the pork chops; nor have I had them make me a waffle (but maybe someday). I have a feeling we will go back.

I ended up with a free return dinner, but why would I want to return unless it was free. My chicken was pink inside, steak was cooked wrong, dirty dishes!

I used to love going to this buffet. But this place seems to have lost its luster. I attended the evening meal on Wednesday, 3 June. The staff was very friendly, but my dining experience was disappointing. The meat loaf tasted and looked like it was under the hot light all day. Every meat product except for the ribs was dry. The macaroni and cheese tasted bland, the soup/​chili had a day’s glaze, and the vegetables was overlooked.
If it wasn’t for the chicken and the salad bar, I would have left hungry. I will never go back to this place.

Never, ever, ever again. We had lunch there today and got a visit from a cockroach during dessert. Nope, nuh-​uh, never again.

Golden corral never dissapoints. $ 7.99 for the lunch buffet & kids 8 – 12 eat for 1.99 all day on Tuesdays. Huge variety of tasty entrees and desserts. The Burbon Chicken is my favorite, and today I discovered their Pulled Chicken with Gravy (delicious).
