Golden Corral

If I could give this less than 1 star I would. I had taken exactly 1 bite when a huge fight broke out. People were screaming that there were weapons and a gun. It was chaos, and there was no management in sight. Fearing for my life I had to leave through the emergency exit. When I contacted customer service the next day for a refund, I was told «no» because the fight was in the line and not the dining area. (Wow, if someone had a weapon do they really think it makes a difference — they were in the restaurant and it was chaos) This is the first time I ever feared for my life while eating dinner. Obviously, the management does not value customer service or even customer safety.
The last time my son was there he observed a patron putting his face in the chocolate fountain licking the chocolate. STAY AWAY–

As far as chain buffets go I think this one is the best! In particular this location. I do find that different location vary in quality, cleanliness, and service. This newer location has been superior on all 3 since opening a few years ago.

Food was ok and server was pretty good for the most part. However, when our server was very busy, we walked over to the server’s station and asked this other (pictured) server if she would mind filling our coffee cups… She barked, «Find your own server!» and stormed off! Really? Really? Really? How rude, how unassistive of other employees, and how extremely unprofessional…

I recently went here for the first time with the fam, NEVER again. This was all of our first time going there and overall I am disappointed and disgusted???
The food selection was sad and wasn’t good tasting. The people… smh. a lot of messy, loud people with kids throwing food everywhere. Literally saw two plates of food on the floor… like why?
Honestly don’t waste your time here. Go to the chilli’s near by and get your money’s worth. Do not touch this place with a 10 foot POLE!!!

I have never been to this Golden Corral but it seems all all of them are going bad! The Golden Corral restaurants was a very good place to eat when they were not well known years ago. Now everyone is going to them so they become cheap on the food and not so nice service. You have go to a buffet that isn’t well known such as Cayote Canyon in Bradley, IL. They are what the Golden Corral was years ago.

Arrived around 3pm line was long it smelled like cheap skunk weed It was full of ignorant ghetto people.
I did not feel safe. The food was horrible reheated Aldi frozen entries had the runs for days. The dinnerware was dirty. The only thing that was good was the servers they actually came to the tables and cleaned them and refilled our drinks quickly. Do not waste your money its sad how ghetto people destroy everything like rats and roaches.

Stopped in out of curiosity… food was bland, nothing special! Was probably the only white person in the place! I was disgusted by the waste of food these people leave on their plates!

This place is disgusting!!! It was dirty, kids were running around unsupervised and the place looked awful. I actually witnessed someone vomiting from eating excessively. It took staff 15 minutes to come and clean it up. Moreover, I watched fellow patrons touch food than proceed to put it back. I will never come here again

I came there today for Sunday brunch with a friend and like one poster had stated the problem is the excessive children running around and into people. I do understand that we were all kids at one time, but we also knew when some places was not a playground and knowing when the horseplaying was not appropriate. My friend and I got wonderful customer service from a server named Elvie and she was very courteous and friendly and brought us whatever we needed and took our plates when we finished our meals. Customer service goes a long way, but what also annoyed me was the abundance of hoodrats who come to eat at places like Golden Corral and their classless behavior of pushing their way to the various stations piling their plates up like it’s their last meal ever and also being extremely rude to other customers who waited patiently for a fresh batch of something. It would have been a lot better without the hoodrats and their army of direspectful runts tearing through the place and one guy got so fed up he yelled at the kids to stop running in the restaurant. I know when I was coming up if someone told you to stop and they were not your mother or father you did what you were told now these kids today act like they own the world acting however they want and nobody can say nothing to them. The food is very good actually much better than places like Old Country Buffet where the food actually looks appetizing. I give it 5 stars for excellent customer service, but management needs to be better at posting signs informing parents who are coming with children to not have them running around and horseplaying because someone could get hurt and backs up those fixing their plates from reaching the stations.

Food is worse than average Golden Corral standard, Bad staff! Attitude and Lazy.
I saw them wipe food from counter back to the food tray… Disgusting.

If you’re hungry and don’t know exactly what you want to eat this is a good spot to eat from. I been with family and we always find something to our liking. It’s not fine dining, but it does justice. I have been several times and haven’t had an issue. The average American food.

Not as bad as everyone says. There are a lot of kids running around which is my main grievance, but we were all kids once. You can even say that the kids are well behaved. Imagine how hard it has to be for a kid not to stick his face and hands in the chocolate fountain?
It’s not dirty, I’m not sure why people say that. I came around 3 on a Monday, however, I assume it’s bad on weekends. You can get a free beverage coupon by signing up to their e-​club. Less than $ 10 gets you an incredible meal.
I had two bacon, ham, and cheese omelettes, scrambled eggs, tons of bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, fried chicken, tacos, nachos, shrimp, baconator fries, steak, pizza, meatloaf, ribs, tons of fries, various sides, and a whole lot of dessert (corn ice cream, cake, cookies, sundaes, cones, banana pudding, root beer float, etc). That’s a short list, I am not including everything that I had. Tally that up and who knows what the bill would come out to at other restaurants. How anyone complains is just insane to me. The steak alone would set you back over $ 10 at most places.

So my daughter was excited about going because of the chocolate fountain and I was interested in the steaks. At first sight was a child taking bites of his good and then dunking it into the fountain. now at this point we paid $ 50 for a family of 4 and no employees watching this stuff happen.
Then I went to get a steak and found the manager cleaning the grill with a screw driver. (Photo to show this). Now as busy as they are, how can they not afford staff to monitor these things and buy proper utencils… Not going back ever again. What should I have expected, they are part of Old Country Buffet and I found roaches in their Tinley establishment. (And I have a photo of that too)

I was very disappointed in my experience this time around. Can’t say that anything was really terrible, but it just wasn’t as good as it has been in previous visits.
And I still don’t get why they charge separately for drinks.

I have to agree with most of the other reviews here. The first time we went it was AWESOME! I even sent corporate a tweet saying how good it was. Alas, some good things come to an end… and GC really shit the bed with service and quality of food.
Last time there our «server» watched as our table of 4 piled plate after plate on top of each other. For the hell of it I wanted to see how high of a tower I could build before someone said to stop. Not a word was spoken and I was able to stack 6 plates between 6 glasses without a problem. We left, pissed off and I won’t be going back.

The food here sucks!
I went here when they first had their grand opening and I feel that they were in a rush to open. The food didn’t have any flavor for example their corn bread. They didn’t have much selection of fruits as I didn’t imagine. I drive by this location most of the time and don’t see its pack like it used to be. They had a hard time seating us because it was super crowded and they didn’t even clean the table before seating us. I had talk about this place to others and their comment were very similar to mines. The food needs more work.

GHETTTTTTOOOOOOOOOO…
Knowing how important these Unilocal reviews are to some restaurants, I still give it one star… and that’s because I had to.
We had a party of eight.
We weren’t given a table.
After putting 2 tables together OURSELVES we were told we couldn’t do that… due to fire safety… or some made up excuse our waitress came up with.
Truth is she was lazy and didn’t wanna wait on a group that big. After calling someone who claimed to be the manager we were told we could leave if we didn’t like the seating arrangements.
After seeing the real manager all he did was give us our money back.
WE LEFT HUNGRY AND RUINED MY LITTLE BROTHER’S BIRTHDAY PLANS.
Lost 8 customers because of a lazy staff. NEVER going back.

OMG, this is the worst buffet that I have ever visited in my entire existence on Earth. The line was long on a Thursday evening and my friends and I had to wait for a table. The line was uncomfortable and hot since the majority of the folks weighed about 300 pounds so it was nowhere to move.
We eventually got a tiny, small, cramped table that was pushed in the corner of the restaurant behind the waitress counter and kitchen. I’m a petite, but there was no room for me to move! Anyhow, I went to get a plate of food. Ugh the food was gross, bland, and it actually made my tummy ache. The trays of food were empty and the staff was slow to refill them. Little 5 year old kids were everywhere coughing on the food and serving themselves! Grossed me out!
There was no silverware the caddy. I walked the entire restaurant looking for a clean fork! The waitresses did not help me to locate clean silverware. They stood around clueless. Piles and Piles of plates piled up on out table, but the waitress kept walking past and did not remove them. I had to literally grab her and ask her to take the plates away. So we sat at a tiny little table that was showered in plates, and the waitress would not remove them. UGH. I feel itchy and slimy writing about this place!!! Total gross out!
So if you want some expensive, bland, bacteria infested, coughed on food, then the Golden Corral is the place for you!

I went to this Golden corral on January 3, 2015 they had a thing going where you buy two adult dinners and get free six free dinner rolls the take-​home it had failed to tell you that they do not serve you dinner rolls you can have the free ones or you can take them home then they charge you $.25 for the honey butter if you want that to The price for lunch on weekends is out rages for two people it cost me $ 30 with drinks where I can go to Chinese buffet for lunch and feed five people are even more for that amount of money and and get just as good food the people in there are rude to the customers I will not go there again and I will not recommend it to anyone

Not Good! My little god daughter had us meet here for dinner after her graduation. If you have a lot of kids or teens this is the spot for you. However, if you are a adult with no kids, don’t waste your money or time. The food was not good AT ALL!!! I wasn’t expecting prime rib or anything fancy, just hot and well seasoned food. I enjoyed spending time with my god kids, but I will not return to this restaurant.
