We try golden coral buffets everywhere we go. Its hard to find a super great one, its been hit or miss but this location has to be my absolute favorite Golden Coral by far, and we have tried quite a few. We have come here several times in the past, and it's still my favorite. We drive over an hour to come to this one. The food is very good and fresh, the variety is great. There are both red and green mexican Pozole soups at this location, which surprised me the first time we came to this location. The service is great, our waiter was nice. Everything I had tasted great. The flavor was good. I recommend this golden coral location if you're in the area. 👍👍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Golden Corral offers a great variety of fresh and tasty food at an affordable price. The buffet is always stocked with something for everyone, from hearty comfort foods to lighter options. The staff is friendly and keeps everything clean and well-maintained. It’s a great spot for families, gatherings, or just a casual meal. Definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience!

Place is clean but could just a little more cleaner. I don’t like that use a broom on the carpet. They should use manual carpet sweeper. Diego was our server and he was on very attentive and kept our table clean. He was also very friendly and approachable. All the staff is kind. We have not been here in 5 years but we will be back sooner.

The last time I ate here was a few years ago and at that time food was great. Today when I went the food was TERRIBLE!! I don't know who they have cooking now. They had the nerve to have liver in the pot roast!!! Who does that!! Desserts nasty! How do you mess up pudding!!!!! I will never eat here again!! Just terrible!

We came here for dinner and there was no one at the front to let us pay so we could go sit. A kitchen staff member had to come out to ring us up. We sat down and got a friendly server but sadly we could not communicate as she only spoke Spanish. I went up to get food and the first bowl I picked up was covered in caked on food. Decided to grab plates instead, the same kitchen staff who came to ring us up happened to be the grill cook and he was on his phone while handling the food. The steak was mostly fat. A few of us had gone through our drinks and had asked to get refills which never happened. So I had to go get refills from the front where I was asked twice if I'd already paid and had said yes both times. It was not a great experience but we ate and left.

It’s your standard Golden Corral. What’s sets this place apart from the others though? Well it’s plopped next to a primarily Asian strip mall, the food didn’t look like it’s been sitting there for ages, and everyone will turn a blind eye to you walking around with your pants unzipped. The same can’t be said for the guests, but everyone was friendly and didn’t stare long enough to make me uncomfortable. All this to say: bring a friend who will let you know your pants zipper is open instead of waiting for you to figure it out yourself, but if you don’t, you won’t be judged.

My family and I went on a Sunday afternoon. It was very busy. Our waiter Felipe made sure our plates were cleared and our drinks were filled. He was very courteous and professional. The manager Rosie checked on us and made sure everything was fine. The steak and chicken wings were on point and my favorite.

It was a wonderful experience at Golden Corral Buffet & Grill. There are so many delicious food options. The greatest part of it is that you can eat all you want. I thought the buffet was gone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Apparently, it's back, I guess. Everyone was nice. Little crowded, but hey, who doesn't want to come eat a delicious buffet.
