    Food is good, nothing special. Just what's expected. Downside; very tight&clutter the seatings & buffet lines, especially during high volume hours & holidays. All the money they make, you would think they expand the building by now. Add bigger tables, more comfortable chairs. Re-arrange the buffet lines so there are more space to move around without bumping into someone.

    I have eat at more than 10 different Golden Corrals and this one is worse than a dirty McDonald's. I asked for well done steak twice and got medium with blood. There where 8 empty spots on the buffet, but the waiter Charlene was great she was nice and went and had the manager make me a steak and she was so nice. Not the flirty trashy kind. The yes sir how may I help you kind. I hope she finds o better job or becomes manager here before they make someone sick. I took a bunch of photos but cant get them to add to review

    Unfortunately, almost all of the food was mediocre at absolute best. I ate about 6 different food items and all of them were disappointing unfortunately. The steak was horribly raw in comparison to what I had asked for. The bread was actually cold, so it's as if it was not being kept warm in the serving tray it was in. The Mac and cheese was absolutely the worst I've ever had. Perhaps that's my taste preference, but never the less, it was not good. I can also say that there were several dishes that I went to get that were definitely not clean. I don't know how they clean their dishes, but it's gross to see a chunk of food still stuck to a spoon or plate. And to add to it, this is just me being picky though, the ice cream machine was good, but they don't have enough selection in my opinion. The only options are caramel and fudge. Neither of which fit my fancy. I would have loved sprinkles or actual chocolate syrup. Over we ate and and managed to survive it, but it's pretty sad that the food seemed that bad. As I told the person with me, I won't be back, at least until I forget about the experience by next year. I gave 3 stars because it is a buffet after all. I lower my expectations for a buffet because it's unrealistic that all the food will be fresh and tasty all the time.

    I sorry but it was bad they let us pat full price and didn't have any steak or any meat from the grill it was bad what food was on the bar was over cooked and was nasty I would like my money back we was from out of town but when we was leaving they but 7 steaks on grill and told everyone there no one could get any more food off bar but. They all was taking steak and putting in to go bxs and going home that was bad the lady working tables was great she needs a raise to work with a manger like that

    Food not fresh. Bar half empty. No ranch dressing made. No baked potatoes. Manager said "employee forgot to put the potatoes in the oven so you getting a baked potato is not going to happen." Sorry excuse for restaurant chain management! Glad we were only traveling through but sorry for the locals that have to deal with it regularly! Spend your hard earned money across the street at the Chinese buffet which had an awesome selection of food including pizza!
