Not only did they raise the price $2.00, they cut back on offered items that were available pre-pandemic like the following: mini shrimp at salad bar gone; steak bits/strips gone at salad bar; fried shrimp gone from lunch menu. The fried chicken sucks and taste like fried grease with too much SALT seasoning. They salted the hell out of the mashed potatoes-could hardly eat them! They think that people are stupid and don't care? I will not be back for lunch. The ambience in their is like a circus! You have at minimum of 20 table waiter staff hearding around like cattle by the Manager having meetings in the dining room. Very noisy and unorganized staff. Place really sucks

Thank You so much for all that y'all that you do to make it a great place to eat!

Good service ;)
February 25, 2023

Visited the San Bernardino location, food was sub-par,On the other hand - hostess Lorreainna ( was spectacular, kind, fast service and met the needs of everyone in our group, and checked on us regularly and showed up asking if we needed things even before we could call her over to ask for them.cleared plates, never let our table get cluttered, and all this amongst what seemed to be a very busy work load.great service from this gal...Please extend our appreciation of her hard work and great service to her. MANY THANKS to her and this establishment

I spent over $4300 last year going to the Gilbert Arizona location because the host Bonnie is an excellent person to work with when going to the Golden Coral to eat! If they could have a bunch more like her it would be excellent!

The manager artootle at the Golden Corral in Lubbock made a comment to me and another veteran that all we wanted was something for free and we never wanted to donate anything it needs to be removed from his job. I am a 10-year veteran while I was overseas i am sure he was enjoying all the freedom that we as soldiers provided while he was over here enjoying everything he should have more respect.

Well I went to Golden Corral and the person attending me was incredibly nice and she was very kind and understanding well I did give her a tip of 20 dollars but that's not the point. The chicken that i tried was a bit rough and chewy and then i saw a bit of blood in it. The ice cream was alright though. But the worst about the place is the attendants they gave me a dirty plate that looked terrible. But the meat the desserts and things like that were great. In all I don't really know if u should go there but u should at least try it from a diffrent prespective if u dont really like it.

Very disappointed.
November 26, 2022

Went to GOlden Corral today had not been for a long time because as someone on a fixed income it's pretty expensive for a meal. I do not like their new layout. The selection is half what it used to be. Paid 20$ for two people and didn't even get any steak.

NEVER AGAIN
September 8, 2021

Fort Worth Texas! Took my family while on vacation and not only was the service awful the employees were disrespectful and food was awful! My son a veteran was told they no longer honor veterans with any type of discount or anything. Just disgusting especially in the times and shape this country is in today! Would give 0 stars if it would allow me.

I like Golden Corral. You get good tasting food with a reasonable variety for the price. Personally, I like eating with a bunch of people who laugh and talk and burp the baby. If a child occasionally cries, or an old geezer snores over the apple pie - well, I feel at home.

If you're looking for top cuisine, immaculate cutlery, and hushed voices along with your rock-bottom price - Well, get real! Don't ridicule what the other diners see as "a home away from home". Just go somewhere else and pay the price necessary for obsequious waiters and the silence of the tomb.

Dinning plates
May 22, 2021

On Saturday, May 22, while dining at Waldorf Maryland, the waitress brought plates with bare hands that she had just cleared a table. She used no gloves or nothing, this is very very unsanitary. This is not acceptable. Waitress should use gloves to clear tables. Go back to the old way of getting plates, put gloves or napkins for people to get their plates. Thank so much. I enjoy going to the restaurant and I plan to continue.

If you order from this restaurant for delivery service from Grubhub you will not get a what you ordered. They leave out entire meals and when you phone them, they say "there's nothing we can do about it". Their customer service sucks!

Their all good here
June 26, 2019

Wow I read the other reviews and was surprised at their bad experiences. I have really never had a bad experience at our Golden Corral's. The food has always been pretty fresh and good tasting though occasionally something was cold but not often. The service as always been good with really no complaints. I did have one slight issue and asked to talk to the manager and it was taken care of.

Contaminated food
September 21, 2021

To make a long story short on I had not eaten all day due to being busy. I decided to stop at the Golden Coral on W 38th St in Indy. I ate dinner and all seemed good. I live about 3 miles from this location and by the time I got home I was sick. On Monday I was still sick! I went to see my doctor after an exam she wanted me to get a CT scan. I found out I had a parasite colon infection that is caused by contaminated water or food... Guess where I got it? GOLDEN CORAL!. Probably caused by an employee not doing their job of changing out trays. But! Never eating at Golden Coral again! They can do what ever they want to get me to come back it ain't happening!

Last time
July 3, 2023

Today is the last time I'm eating at Golden corral, the quality and quantity of food choices has really gone down. I couldn't believe it, this location is in Texas. I left very disappointed, they raised their prices for what? Its not worth it. The restaurant didn't have as many people as usual, I see why.

First time and last time eating here. Food looks and taste like crap, bacon was cooked way beyond its time, sausage looked old af. We was about to leave and noticed our milk they served us was a week old and when we notified the manager about it and said our son has already drank one, all he got to say was thank you for letting me know.

I tried to order two holiday turkey dinners as shown on the website. We wanted them for Thanksgiving dinner, so I tried to order on the Monday before Thanksgiving and the site says no longer available for that date. I called and was told the same thing. They are open for Thanksgiving, but don't want to be bothered with filling any take out orders.
