When this establishment first open the line was wrapped around the building. The last two times that I’ve been here for dinner, within the last 6mos, the food quality has DECLINED GREATLY since opening. If it wasn’t for our server Ulda my large size family and I would have asked for a refund and walked quickly out and not looked back. Still not going to be back. HORRIBLY BLAND, COLD, DRIED OUT AND FELT LIKE EATING MILITARY RATIONS.

Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to the condition of the restaurant.
During my visit, I noticed that the facility was not being maintained to a professional standard. Most of the booths were in poor condition and clearly in need of being reupholstered. Additionally, the floors throughout the dining area were noticeably dirty, which contributed to a very negative overall impression of the establishment.
I hope you will take these concerns into consideration and take the necessary steps to improve the cleanliness and seating at this location. I look forward to hearing how you plan to address these maintenance issues.

I have been trying to get ahold of someone at this location for over a week.
No one ever answers the phone when I’ve called multiple days in a row.
I’m sure you guys were slammed the days before Thanksgiving, and that you did your best. I really would have preferred to not leave a Google review, and would have liked to talk with someone over the phone, but you guys don’t answer it. I also live an hour away, and don’t want to have to take the time to drive down there just to talk.
My family bought a Roast Thanksgiving Dinner for $150 at this location. It was so disappointing. We were really looking forward to this meal and it was just abysmal.
We were missing an entire pan of stuffing.
We got 2 of everything else (mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole).
The majority of the sweet potato casserole was untouched by the family, (it wasn’t very appealing and not very flavorful).
The roast was the most disappointing of all. I ordered the meal to be served cold-not uncooked. When I picked the roast up, it was still hot, so I couldn’t put it away in the fridge immediately. It had to sit out to get to room temp before it went in the fridge over night.
The next day, I pulled it out and warmed it in the oven for close to 2 hours. I let it sit to cool down a bit, then when I went to cut into it to serve it, this body of meat was still tough and blood red on the inside. We are well-done meat eaters. It was off-putting cutting into it and thinking it would be cooked on the inside to see that it wasn’t.
I wasn’t expecting to have to fully cook this roast. I had other things that were cooking in the oven when I figured out that this meat was still close to alive.
It didn’t feel safe to keep heating, cooling, and re-heating this meat.
Long story short, we were so over having to deal with this meat, that the whole roast took a dumpster dive. We were out the main protein (which was the bulk of the $150 spent.) The rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pecan pie were good.
However, I would appreciate it if a manger took the time to respond to this review, and leave some info on how I can actually speak with you directly.
Thank you in advance,
Tiffany

There’s mold on the building. The ac diffusers are covered on dust. The carpet is musty and smells like a locker room.

Absolutely the worst buffet we’ve ever been to and we love buffets! The golden corral in another state was amazing so I was super excited to go get my steak potatoes shrimp and salad, plus all the extras!
The steak was so tough I wouldn’t let my kids eat it for fear of choking. My husband almost chocked on medium done steak. My son ordered medium rare and STILL could barley chew or cut it. The food sat out for who knows how long. They didnt even have tortillas for their tacos. The syrup for the waffles tasted like water. The hushpuppies were over cooked. The post roast was so dry again I was about to choke.
All this and you also have to wait for refills on your drinks you pay separate for.
I like to give places a 2nd chance but for a family of 6 its not worth the cost.
Sadly EXTREMELY dissapointing

Worst food I’ve had in a long time. Place is filthy, smelled like dirty towels used to wipe down surfaces. Holy both seats. Extremely dirty floors. Dried and mushy good. Overall awful. $75 for 3 of us….a complete rip off. Worst place ever. My stomach is nauseous just thinking about it. I tried to like something …the peanut butter cookies were edible. Waitress was nice and attentive.

The food was absolutely dreadful. It was bland and disgusting just like the chefs lost they’re passion for serving food. It was my first time there and I definitely will not be returning at all..the seats where torn and table where dirty and the ceilings are diabolical, the only seasoning in my food were from the ceilings. Anybody working there should be ashamed of the crap they are putting out. If you hate your job then quit. Please for the better good of everyone else just don’t ever cook food again.. absolutely trash. I wish I would’ve ld of token more photos of this bland and undercooked garbage.

This place is so much better than Hometown Buffet. Lots of good choices and they’re tasty too. It costs a little more but it’s worth it. Hope the quality doesn’t go down hill like HTB has. I will definitely be back. **UPDATE** Have been back here a few times and the food seems consistent and good. Sometime they are slow bringing out the dinner items after they start charging dinner prices on weekends.
*** went back today** ….. Still delici‼️ous, (in case you were wondering) . XXL ❗ ️

Slop. Literal slop for 90% of the food. It was not appetizing at all, to charge 25$ for dinner with drink is insane. I could only eat the fried chicken and the corn because everything else was just sitting there for who knows how long. The refill the hot plates with new food and mix the old food with the new one. I hope people arent getting sick from this. The “clean” dishes are kept in a grimey container and the tables, chairs and the overall restaurant looks so dirty and is falling apart. I cannot believe people come here. First and last time visiting Golden Corral. If I could give it a negative star I would. Surprised food and safety hasn’t been called here. The sever lady was the only redeemable thing about this place.

Update! Just got back from lunch here. Price seems to have stabelized. There was very limited selection if food. Service was very good. Raised the prices to crazy amounts. Good job at losing a “VALUED” Customer that ate there regularly. Raising prices and not fixing stuff is NO Bueno… This is for 2 people. I could have eaten at Texas Roadhouse and got prime cuts for this price. Again good job at losing a customer
