Customer Review Summary
Disappointment with the fried chicken, described as refried and not fresh, along with missing butter for rolls. On the positive side, some patrons praised the buffet for its happy employees, well-seasoned food, and enjoyable dessert offerings, highlighting quick service even during busy times. The restaurant has been recently remodeled, providing a pleasant atmosphere for meetings. However, there were serious concerns about cleanliness, including a roach sighting and filthy restrooms, leading to one customer vowing not to return. A couple of diners enjoyed affordable lunch specials and positive service experiences, while others reported dry and unappetizing food, resulting in negative health reactions. Overall, reviews reflect a divide between good service and food experiences versus significant cleanliness and quality issues.

Was so disappointed with this Golden Corral. It was not our first time to order here-ordered today a box of fried chicken (20pcs) to bring to a party. Chicken looked and tasted like it was refried from yesterdays left over, the color was dark, uneven and missing parts, definitely not fresh tasing. The order came with the dinner rolls and the butter was not packed with it, like the last time we ordered which is another disappointment to us. Not sure f we will come back

I've been to buffets that are pretty gross but this one is being ran the way it should be. Employees seem genuinely happy, food is actually seasoned and homemade. My favorite place to sit is near the dessert 🍨 area to watch the employees work their magic and seeing 👀 kiddos eyes light up when they see all the beautiful treats! They even had cotton candy! Prices are awesome and the variety was nothing less than feeling like you were eating like a King 👑 !

My son and I stopped here on a busy Saturday night. We were pleasantly surprised by how swiftly the line moved and how quickly the various buffet items were replaced with fresh items. Even though it was busy, our server made sure our tea was refilled regularly, and our used plates and bowels were removed quickly. Good food, plenty to choose from, and friendly service. We will definitely be back.

Awesome remodel! Money well invested. Our meeting went well in their new spacious room. Thanks GC!

The food was bland and disgusting, and I didn't even want to eat after I saw a roach crawling on the side of the buffet. I proceeded to go into the bathroom and it was absolutely filthy, toilet paper all over the floors, the doors did not lock, and when I requested a refund for our group the guy offered free buffet coupons for our next visit. I immediately declined and stated we would not be returning. And then proceeded to throw up in the Parking lot. I will never return. I understand working with food is hard, but having a health score rating of 94.6? With effing bugs is insane. If I could I would rate it a 0 but I can't so a 1 it is.

Excellent lunch with the senior early bird special pricing. Just ten dollars for all you can eat including your drink! Excellent! UPDATE: Went back for breakfast. Wonderful! Ask for isabel . . . She'll take very good care of you!

In 2009 had my first date! In 2023 in April I got engaged to my bestfriend on my birthday here in the same area and the same exact table we sat at on our first date! When I say this place holds value to our family food and staff everything is great!! Highly recommend this place we have visited other Golden Corral’s but none of them will ever be like this one!!🥰

The past few times I've been here the food was not good. And all the deserts were dry and hard! I couldn't finish anything I tried 😔 it instantly made my stomach hurt. I was in the bathroom all night afterwards. I always leave an honest review! And honestly, I will never eat here again!
