Golden Corral

Judge all you want foodies but I love the Corral. People can judge, but to me, nothing says ‘Murica quite like a good ol’ buffet.
The one thing I don’t understand about this place though is the seating concept. It’s kind of like a Chinese buffet, but you sometimes you are seated, sometimes you seat yourself. Someone will get you refills. They’re not really your, «server», but you should tip them, right? Right.
After figuring out your seating it’s time to dig in. What I like about this place, besides all the amazing people watching I can do (think Honey Boo Boo), is the variety of food they have; from Chinese to breakfast food, and huge salad bar as well as steaks, Golden Corral has got you covered.
My favorites are their sliders and their hush puppies (fancy I know). Oh, and I like their macaroni and cheese too.
Personally, I’m not much of a desserts person, but if you’re gonna go, get yourself some hand-​spun cotton candy while your there. You’ll feel like you’re in a carnival. It’s worth it.
They have different specials going on so if you’re in the mood for something particular like steak then check out and see what night the special is. I noticed that the manager was very much into the quality of the food. While I was grubbing up, he kept showing the employees examples of properly cooked food versus improperly cooked food and make sure they only served the good stuff. Call it what you want, but I definitely felt that even for a buffet, Golden Corral really tried focusing on quality. And for $ 12.99, I couldn’t be happier.
This is definitely a place to wear your sweatpants and have at it.

Hm.
Nous arrivons vers 10h30.
Premier service, la nourriture est froide.
Deuxième service, les plats du dîner commencent à sortir. C’est mieux, c’est chaud et c’est meilleur.
Je me sers de la viande près de la cuisine. Une odeur qui me rappelle celle des égouts s’échappe de celle-​ci. Je mange quand même à ma faim pour un prix ridicule (moins de 10 $).
Avant le départ, une pause-​pipi est nécessaire. Allo l’horreur, j’ai mal au cœur. Les toilettes sentent le démon, le plancher est sale, le couvercle de toilette est vraiment louche et on a remplacé le savon par un truc style Purell en format familial. Mes nausées me suivront jusqu’à la sortie.
Une étoile pour la dame qui ramasse les assiettes et nous sert du café et du thé a une vitesse folle. Une autre étoile pour le prix.
–25 pour le mal de cœur.

ZEROOOOOOOoooooo stars.
Listen, once you cross the threshold here, let’s be honest.
You’ve given up hope and any expectation of even the most minimal standards.
Ok, we went on Saturday, with that understanding, but my god…
Staff touching food with NO GLOVES.
One kitchen staffer wiped up greasy water on floor near kitchen door with paper towels and NO GLOVES.
Kitchen /​bathroom area smells like a SEPTIC TANK.
No one adhering to any health code requirement because it’s Saturday and BPR isn’t on duty.
The food… OMG…cold, super SALTY… and I mean fridge cold so all the steam on the buffet is going I dunno where, not in the food. Fried fish wet with grease and tasted like oil. Steak cold and hard. Sausage cold, salty, salty, salty. Turkey cold, hard, salty and dry. Some dishes tasted like … the people who’d prepared it had no clue as to what the dish is supposed to taste like.
This is the kind of food you see shoveled out to people in nursing homes.
I remarked to my husband that I wanted to smack the phoney baloney «chef hats» off the people wearing them to be replaced with caps that read «WASTE MANAGEMENT «!
People allowed their terrible children to roam free and take and eat ~~~AT ~~~ the dessert bar with bare hands. Kid grabbed marshmallows with bare hands. OMG!
The person bussing the tables WOULD NOT SHUT UP.
His big mouth heard all over the dining room.

I went to this Golden Corral for months and 6 days a week and as of 10÷21÷15 I was told never to come back or to write things up on any sites like this or tripadvisor or he get me for slender this store is the pits bad help and cold and stack is so so and cant get how you like he did not like any of the things I write on sites so I was told to stay out after the help came by sum of my things I had to say

If I could give less than 1 star I would. The food is gross, and don’t get me started on how dirty the bathrooms are. Will never go back. Don’t waste your money, for as expensive as it is you can do much better!

Ok… You probably think I’m high for giving this place 4 stars, but I have to say it was very enjoyable. I must admit that I’ve been here before with bad experiences, but after learning of new management and hauling of employees I gave it anther shot. Food was fresh and tasty. Lots of protein options for those low carbing. Got here at 3:40 pm which was perfect timing of price increases from lunch to dinner. Loved being able to take an ice cream cone with me on the way out. Even sprinkled peanuts on top too!

Ive been going to Golden Corrals for several years. in North Carolina and South Carolina. This is the worst one I have ever been to. Food is dry, place is dirty and has a weird smell in some sections. I usually come for the steak. The server, gave me a piece that was barely cooked. Big difference in quality of food between the one I went to in SC and this one. Will never return.

Golden Corral is a very good buffet restaurant. They have changed their menu to provide breakfast all day. Their food is fairly good and filling. If you like buffets you’ll love Golden Corral. Very fresh food such as pot roast, fried chicken, salads, italian entrees of all types, and desserts. I liked it very much but I won’t jump up and down because it isn’t the cleanest place in the world, but clean enough to get by.

They season their salt with a little food. I was quite underwhelmed.

Now I realize why I don’t eat at buffets. Dirty hand kids serving themselves.
I’m almost positive there was feces on the door of the ladies bathroom I had to use toilet tissue to open the door to get out.
I thought the last Golden corral which I got sick in was bad this one is the worse

Stopped in because it was very close to where I was and because dad wanted custard soft serve ice cream. I wasn’t there for the entire buffet meal all I wanted was the ice cream to go and a container which they were more than willing to do for me. I didn’t have to drive out of my way dad got his custard soft serve ice cream and I get a good gold star for being daughter of the week.

Great food. Nothing like American buffet food! Let me just say first of, we are big fans of this restaurant and love to come here no matter the location, but I’ve been to this location twice.
(Con) First time was not so great, the waitress we had seemed to over look us and had very little to say except 3 lines the most (which she sort of mumbled to us and said while continuing to walk past us). She constantly walked right past us, most of our finished plates remained on our table even after we left the table to get a new plate of food. We even tried to get her attention instead so that we could at least get a refill (we had finished mostly our entire meals with our cups empty). We were and mostly are always patient with servers/​waitress because we have worked in restaurants in the past, so we understand it can be hectic, but in this case there was only two other couples there besides us.
***(pro) but despite that a month ago, we went back yet again today, because we were close by and wanted to have dinner. We are big fans of the food so why not?! Luckily This time we had an amazing woman named EVELYN. She was so sweet, soft spoken and took great care with us, as with the entire section, that was filled up. She never seemed hurried or busy yet she got to everyone in a timely and courteous manner. When we first sat down she greeted us and introduced herself in a very friendly way, (not rushed or mumbled). Before i could ask for a refill she had already taken care of it. Last month when i visited i didn’t want to review it because although that first waitress was bad, we still loved the restaurant and didn’t want to rate it lower than it deserves because of her, but thanks to miss Evelyn i feel much better with the service i was provided and will definitely revisit this location in the future. Great job to the chefs also! Stations were clean and neat and everything looked great!

You get what you pay for. GC is $ 11 for adults, plus $ 3 for a fountain drink. All you can eat food, which is already hot and waiting for you, you don’t have to worry about clean-​up or doing dishes, and there’s a wide-​array of food for you to eat.
That being said, I reiterate that you get what you pay for.
The AYCE steak is my favorite part of this buffet. If you can catch the meat station when there are newly cooked pieces of meat, it’s delicious and tender. But there are also other hungry patrons vulture’ing around the meat station too, so be ready to claim your meat!
The rest of the hot food is lined up on one end of the buffet area. The sides and other protein selections are hit-​or-​miss. Of course you can’t go wrong with the fried foods like shrimp, hushpuppies, and chicken, but you’ll feel your heart slowing with every bite. The cooked veggies may or may not be salty, and the pasta and pizza sit under hot lamps for so long, they look quite leathery. But there is something yummy in that kind of greasy comfort food paired with the freedom to pile on mac-​n-​cheese on top of my mashed potatoes on top of my meatloaf.
The middle buffet island has salad fixings, soups, and baked potato and sweet potatoes. Get the sweet potatoes in the gold wrapper; they’re always cooked delicious!
At the other end of the buffet is the dessert station, where you’ll need to navigate among the kids who swarm around the sugary goodness. This GC has a chocolate fountain, which is nice to look at, until you see a little germy finger poke its way under the gooey waterfall recycling its way through the pump, and then you settle on some untainted soft-​serve ice cream. There is also some baked goods (apple pie, cakes, and cookies) as well as specialty ice cream flavors that an employee must serve to you.
The service is friendly and fast. This location is decently clean, although seating is a bit cramped. But it’s always busy, so that’s a good sign of food quality and popularity. The plaza has some bad drivers and watch out when it rains because the parking lot will flood something biblical. If Golden Corral was open 24-​hours, I could probably find myself here after 2 am where no one can witness my shame, but I also enjoy taking my parents here for an indulgent Sunday dinner.

This Location is the best by far.
My husband and I eat here 2 – 3 times a month, sometimes more. We have had breakfast, lunch and dinner at this location since we live close by.
First, I am happy to say this is the cleanest of all the locations I have ever been to. Second, the staff and management are always friendly and welcoming. Third, I give the food a 90% in taste, temperature and variety.
The 10% of food dissatisfaction is due to (1) the amount of sodium in some of the items (2) once in a while the fried chicken has a fishy taste due to the frying oil not being filtered or changed more frequently or perhaps the improper fryer was used to fry the chicken i.e. (fish fryer) (3) Sometimes there are items that get somewhat aged and should be tossed out.
All very minimal in occurrences.
Remember this is a family style buffet. There are children and lots of activity within the restaurant. If you want a quiet dinner out, make a reservation somewhere.
The price is right that is for sure. Value for dollar is A+
And please don’t forget to tip your servers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched people leave the restaurant without leaving a gratuity. The only thing they left was a mess!
Enjoy!

The worst dining experiences of our lives!!! I don’t know what was worst, the horrible food or the screaming kids in the dining room. When we got here the place was packed full of people with their noisy kids. Then we proceeded to the food area and it reminded me of a school cafeteria. Most of the food looked old and dry but it was too late cause we already paid. I tried to stay with safe foods but even that plan didn’t work. There was not one thing that we liked. Everything we ate was subpar in quality and taste.
Save your money and your health, do NOT eat at any Golden Corral!!! :(

Stay away from the steaks, too tough but the turkey in gravy & pot roast was good. It was nice seeing the managers working hard with a smile on their faces. Our waitress, Trish never let my ice tea hit the bottom of the glass (nice job). She even helped my kids get cotton candy when they couldn’t find it.

I know the saying is that more is better but in this case I’m not so sure.
For a buffet the cost was in the moderate range but so is the food your eating. I started out with a steak and some mashed potatoes. I should have asked for the steak made to order but instead grabbed one that LOOKED done… Not done! My cow was still bleeding… badly! I don’t mind a little pink but I don’t want to feel like I need to call an ambulance.
The mashed potatoes were good and the fried chicken I added to my plate was cooked through. Dessert was nice as well and their is a lot of variety. I love the cotton candy!
This restaurant is family friendly with gangs of children prowling for food while parents sit back and enjoy not trying to corral them to one area… no pun intended. If you don’t like children this is not the place for you as they are everywhere! Otherwise not a bad meal for the cost and if your hungry and on a budget then look no further.

This place is fine. The servers are friendly and there is a big selection.
But don’t expect good food — it’s just average or below average. The desserts are great, but everything else makes me go «meh»
I’d personally rather pay a little bit more to go to a good buffet in the area (there are a few) or a little less to go to one like CiCi’s pizza or a chinese buffet, which in my opinion would be just as satisfying. But if you just want a little of everything, this place could work as long as you don’t expect anything special.
I’m sure kids would have a blast here, though!

If you like buffet restaurants you’ll love this Golden Corral. I go for lunch during the week when it’s not very crowded. They have a terrific salad bar with a large variety of toppings. There are a lot of items you usually don’t find on salad bars at most buffet restaurants. Deviled eggs, seafood salad, tuna salad, and fresh fruits were a few of the items I saw last week. They have several soups and a great chili.
The buffet has a huge selection of entrée items, I saw an area for Chinese food, Italian food, including pasta and pizza, and Mexican food. They had fish, fried shrimp, cheeseburger sliders, fresh cut turkey, pot roast, meatloaf, chicken livers, the list goes on and on. I enjoyed the vegetables. I love their made from scratch mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, rice, cabbage, carrots, and so much more.
They have fresh baked rolls and muffins.
The desserts are great also. They have an assortment of pies, cakes, cookies, and puddings. You can get soft serve ice cream or a variety of regular ice creams including, but not limited to, pistachio, rum raisin, and sherbet. There are several toppings for the ice cream. I almost forgot the chocolate fountain with marsh mellows and other items to dip in it.
The food tastes fresh and delicious. I’m getting hungry just writing this and thinking about my last visit.
During the week all of this food is $ 8.99 for lunch, and $ 8:49 for seniors. Between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm seniors are $ 6.99. A beverage is extra.
I don’t usually go for supper, but I understand there are many different items on the supper buffet.

Way Better and Way Cheaper than the Casino.
Please remember this is a Buffet and not a 5 Star Restaurant. Don’t want to eat in a crowd with kids running around then some where else may be better for you.
Very Good Food and a Huge Amount of Choices! Great Steaks and Chicken. They offer No Sugar Added Deserts!
Our Favorite Buffet!

Wow!
This is the epitome of everything that is wrong with America, but what makes the USA special in so many ways lol. How special you say, approximately 120 selections special. This place is crazy good, in a Buffett way. It would take forever to list all the food but they have everything from A pple pie to Z uccini for your salad or omelet. What I dont understand is the poor reviews about this place. It’s a F’ing Buffett in Margate not Vegas. Lol. For the price, 19 and change for me and my daughter this is the best deal in town. If you are worried about kids running around and the food not being fresh you need to come at 730am on Sunday. It was dead and everything was fresh, hot, and untouched… until we came along:)
Service was excellent and our server Cindy was really nice. She was quick to fill my coffee up and clear our table. The restaurant was very very very clean. We got there when it opened and the place was spotless.
I have been here only once and I feel confident with recommending this place as one of the best buffets in Broward County. A little bird told me that they have the same onion rings that are served at BurgerFi. The same team that owns BurgerFi in Springs owns this Golden Corral folks. No wonder this place is spotless and the food is good. Remember to tell them Dan said go on Sunday Morning at 730am for a disappointment free breakfast buffet, Stay Hungry!
