Golden Corral

So I decided to give this location another try and again it sucked. We went on a Saturday night and it was practically empty but I thought good. I found out why pretty quick… they suck! I tried the fish after I had to make two trips to the buffet to catch them putting some out same with the chicken both baked and fried the containers sat empty for the longest. One lady asked the manager if they had anymore fried chicken he said yes but didn’t move from where he stood to go and check on it. The pinto beans looked dry and old, the cabbage had no flavor, two of my favorite vegetables I didn’t enjoy. The only thing that was good was the steak because it was freshly prepared and there was no wait like other locations because again the place was almost empty. Please don’t go there. We wasted $ 27.00 for two, with no drinks

We ate a late lunch there last week and I don’t plan on going back. Most of the food was either held too long or had been served prior. It was not visually appealing and was bland. Was disappointed for the price.

I visit Dallas a few times a year and take my family to lunch or dinner. They wanted to go to this Golden Corral this time. Very, very disappointing! The big items were always empty, a popular desert was empty and was not going to make a reappearance for 45 minutes (we were told with no apology), and as we sat down to eat what was there, they began vegetable prep in the open area behind the salad bar in a machine that was so loud we had to literally shout to have our conversation. Lastly, I left my rental car key on the table and, when I ran back to get it, the server looked me right in the eye as I frantically looked, only to give it to me after I asked her for it. Great welcome home, GC!

My lunch at this place was disappointing. The selection was not great and what I did try tasted very bland. The yeast rolls were the only delicious part of my meal today and our server was very nice. It was definitely not worth $ 30 for two people.

On our visit to Golden Corral, we had a horrible experience. My wife found a dirty napkin inside her glass of water. You couldn’t see it because the plastic water glass was red but she found it. After showing to the manager, she offered to refund my wife’s meal only. We were all disgusted and left immediately. After calling the restaurant to get the corporate number, they refused to give us the number then resorted to giving us fake numbers that didn’t exist. You contact me for more specifics but I would not advise visiting this Golden Corral.

Meatloaf was raw! Mushrooms and tomatoes were frozen tho the bottom of their containers. My son’s steak was mostly fat. They had no separate containers for baked potato condiments. I shouldn’t have been surprised, but this is what my child wanted for his birthday meal. And we tried to talk him out if it. And why shoo they even have servers? I hope they are making living wage at least

This place is horrible! It has been at least four years since I gave this place a try last, and it has only gone down hill! The elderly/​disabled lady @ the table next to us was complaining that she had been begging for coffee for over an hour, and when I personally asked the «waitress» for the lady a cup of coffee, she said she could go get it herself! There seems to be no real management here, other than a bunch of robots arguing with each other behind their sections, where food was being prepared, and a definite attitude between the Hispanic employees against the African American employees. I cannot stand watching such discord and poorly run eateries, so this is my last trip to ANY Golden Corral!

I have eaten here lots of times with mixed results. Sometimes they have plenty to eat and sometimes there is not much or it goes real fast. Almost always there are lines for food and its pretty crowded. I have always had good experiences with the staff with the exception of once. I will continue to eat here due to family and the all you can eat steak but I’d pick another place if I had a choice.

It is Golden Corral and the food was what we expected it to be. The only real complaint that I have is the patrons and their kids, no manners, class, or couth.

If you haven’t been to a Golden Corral in several years, you owe it to yourself to check them out again. My first foray into GC was about 25 years ago and I left extremely unimpressed. Fast forward 20+ years and I get married into a family that loves to have all its major functions at this place. My first time in 20 years to visit, I went in with my back and stomach clenched in rebellion — but I was pleasantly surprised. They serve steak cooked to order, shrimp and just about any food for any picky person in your party.
I’m a bit stunned by these 1-​star reviews. I have never seen a roach in this place — if I had, it would be my last visit and I would call the health department before posting about it on Unilocal.
You can really get some good food — but this is not a place to mellow out and be serene with the universe. The place is nearly always packed and full of children who scream. The bathrooms are regularly cleaned — but with the unattended children who are often rambunctious, the bathrooms can go from immaculate to completely disastrous in a matter of moments. They frequently announce in English and Spanish that children under 10 need to be accompanied at all times. I’ve been to other GC locations where they don’t do that and it is chaos because kids use their filthy hands to grab food instead of the tongs, etc.
If you’ve got a big family gathering where everyone has different tastes, this is a fun place to get what you want, when you want, and as much as you want — but it is not perfect.
People should take Golden Corral for what it is. This is not gourmet dining. It’s brightly lit, and it’s full of people — some of which have no manners or volume control. It’s an eclectic bunch. People cough without covering their mouths — so you can always pick up a bug during flu season here — but otherwise, it’s a good deal on a lot of food.
They have fresh fruit and veggies all the time, and I’ve never had any stale food here. Sometimes the steaks are tough not tender — that’s life. I’m a very picky eater and I can always find something to eat here and leave satisfied.

Where do I start…
Nevermind the teenage workers packing new food on TOP of old food, instead of the reverse, and in the same container. It’s the people that go here… I love buffets but I HATE the crowd. I’m not a snob but the people here are… dare I use the term white trash? Watching people stack food to the ceiling and then going back grossed me out. You know the obesity you keep hearing about in this country? It’s all at Golden Corral. BIg butts bumping into you,…PEOPLE JUMPING IN FRONTOF YOU practically wrestling the chicken leg outta your hand! People letting their kids run around like it was six flags,.all 18 of them (per family).
So gross…

The guys took me here not once but twice for lunch while I was in town.
Twice.
The same tired food not once but twice.
It’s enough to make a grown man cry or at least hate business trips.

Attending a baby shower is the main reason I took a leap to this Golden Corral.
Exactly a month ago, I went to this busy place on a Saturday afternoon. It was the worse experience I’ve had… no, I take that back, no… I don’t take that back.
We had a room for the baby shower I attended and I felt good about being slightly away from the hustle and bustle going on right outside of the room.
People were packed in Golden Corral like someone was giving something away.
Because I’m not too excited about people’s rear ends in my face when I’m eating, I opted out of the whole food and drink thing. Their tables are scrunched to closely and the tables are small… Big behinds and small tables don’t mix well.
Also, another reason for me not wanting to eat was because I observed several snotty nosed kids digging into the pasta with a little bit if spoon and a whole lot of hand.
Thank goodness I have great vision, while in line to pay, I just scooted out of line and went to the room where the shower was being held.
Everyone was eating, having a good time… all except me. I think it was that image of a green nosed boy and his sister picking at food on the buffet without supervision.
The bathroom could have used a good cleaning… I guess when you you’re short of help, the bathroom is neglected.
Every few minutes, while in the room with the baby shower, a manager would walk around checking receipts to make sure everyone eating had paid. No biggie… but interesting.
When he observed me not eating or drinking… he tried to seduce me into sneaking a drink; I kid you not. He said «Hey, no one will know, just wait a minute and I’ll give you a cup, then go fill it with a Coke or something baby»
I said «I’m okay, but thanks anyway»
I won’t go back… period.
I know Saturdays are going to be busy, but, I just can’t help not wanting to fill like I’m going to catch something if I do ingest something in this facility.
I’m not a snob… I’m just a little cautious. :P

Takin’ one for the team usually means you make out with the uni-​brow boy so your friend has a shot at Mr. Beefcake, but last night it took on a whole new meaning… I know my mantra is that all you can eat = instant two stars, but even I have my integrity.
Birthday dinner with 95 year-​old grandmother, 73 year-​old uncle, 64 year-​old dad… soft food and cantaloupe.
I told myself I’d just get steak and bread pudding, two things they’d never mess up. DING DING DING… correction…they did away with the bread pudding and replaced it with this gross custard bread thing which looks like a cinnamon roll with a serious infection. And when I ask for medium-​rare steak I know up front I’m getting medium… but I got well-​done.
I made the «mo tea» sound for EVER – that’s where you tip the glass up and suck the ice so hard it sounds like a wind tunnel. No one ever noticed. But all the seniors had their pot roast, mashed potatoes and mac and yellow-​colored-​congealed-​grease-​disguised-​as-​cheese.
You know – at Pancho’s they would have at least put the sombrero on me and sang Happy Birthday while doing the macarana.
«Golden Corral, where is my freaking sombrero and iced tea?!»
