I'm thankful to have them so near that me and my elderly sister can come enjoy a great meal. Thanks for friendly environment and terrific food!
The filthiest, most disgusting dining room area I ever ate in. Embarrassed for my wife. Older gentleman working behind the dessert line was eating from the displays. Can only imagine what the kitchen look like. Waitress had buss bucket and grabbed our sodas without washing her hands. Wasted our money. NEVER AGAIN. I should have taken pics. This particular location is terrible. The reason we went was because we had a good experience in Elyria. First impression is everything. I should not have overlooked the filth walking in the front entrance. Not even a 1 star but I guess I had to choose something. YUCK

I got broccoli from the salad bar and the broccoli had mold and was hairy and fuzzy also the food is cold and dry
On Tuesday, December 26,2023- I went with family to Golden corral for lunch. Crystal, a server, refused for us to sit in a booth in her area. She claimed that the whole area was reserved for a party. There was no sign for reservation as they usually do. My husband, very compliant, went to another area. Ms Tee, an African American server, told my husband in a voice full of hate: "I am not serving you." No reason was given. My husband is white. The cashier, Brie, saw us wandering around looking for a place to sit. Brie told us that Crystal was lying. There was no party & no reservation. Brie seated us in Crystal's area, but Crystal refused to serve us. Again, no reason was given. A few days later, on Friday December 29,2023- I went again with family to Golden corral for lunch. Arthur, a server, refused for us to sit in a booth in his area. He claimed that this booth was reserved. Again, there was no sign of reservation as they usually put when anything is reserved. Arthur seated a couple who came immediately after us in that booth we wanted. I asked the couple if they reserved that booth as Arthur claimed. The couple said no they didn't reserve anything. The couple was so kind. They moved to another area when they saw that Arthur was in the wrong. We didn't move to Arthur's area because we were scared of retaliation. We have been going to Golden Corral for almost 30 years. We never complained. I hate complaining, but the recurrent mistreatment was stressing us out and affecting our health. I finally went to talk to managers. I explained how this mistreatment is against the Civil Right Act of 1965. I didn't even get an apology. Rather, one of the managers said: "we can solve this problem by you going somewhere else to eat." I found this even more discriminatory. We have never been harassed and discriminated against like late this year. Nobody deserve this mistreatment, especially us who have been loyal customers to Golden Corral for almost 30 years. We are old. All we need is a peaceful environment like it used to be for almost 3 decades.
DO NOT EAT HERE! The steak was PURPLE! I am almost certain that there were bugs on the wall in the restaurant. There were piss and blood (or ketchup stains) on the wall of the bathroom and it reeked. 3/4 of the people in my group had $#*!ting problems and there were stains in the cups in which we drank out of. The drinks tasted weird and had potential to be laced. 0/10 never coming again.
Visiting friends and we went to the Golden Corral in Taylor, MI and the place was so dirty and nasty. First you couldn't hardly find a clean cup, or plate let alone silverware then looking for a table was an issue because they were all dirty with dishes on them, the floor had trash and food on it, the food wasn't that great and when leaving it didn't look like they cleaned their exit area in a month. When visiting will never return to this place again.
Golden Corral in Dallas Tx off of 30 and Cocker Hill….06//22/2023 Flies all over salad, salad dressing fruits had to complain to manager and get my money back disgusting unsanitary needs a visit from health department
Hello I would like to say the fried shrimp taste like white people food y'all need more seasoning y'all only had cookies and ice cream and those other pies look like diarrhea speaking of diarrhea I was fighting for my life on that toilet and shot out the most humpty Dumpty clumpy rusty musty scrumptious red blue black white and purple poop out I will never be back ONLY GO BACK FOR CONSTIPATION
1. The salad bar was empty and when we asked for the items we received eye rolls and attitude. They had no tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, croutons, thousand island or ranch.
2. The food on the hot bar was ice cold! Not even room temperature. The backed fish was swimming in an inch or oil (yuck)
3. We couldn't get our plates cleared from the table or drink refills.
4. When we brought it to the manager's attention he walked off. Not once did they offer a discount or a refund.
I could go on but what's the point.
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.
I wouldn't recommend the Golden Corral on Providence, Brandon. This place smells terrible. There is almost no room between tables to walk through without rubbing someones back. The floors are disgusting. This place is disgusting to go eat. However, the waitress abd cook servers were very pleasant and charismatic.
The Mac and cheese was decent but that white $#*! food need more seasoning. Took 2 bites of that steak (had to use all my strength to cut into it) and immediately rushed to the toilet. Was fighting for my life on that toilet. Will never forget that experience. The slushees tasted wonky. Had to push through though because I was setting world records (I had 7). I am convinced there is no worse buffet. If you want to set the world record for biggest heap of explosive diarrhea, go here. Thank you for your time.

Sucks.

Definitely not the cups, because they didn’t serve me a drink the first, second, or third time I went there.
The server yesterday had no gloves was handling the trash can then touching food that had fallen out of the food bin on the service counter onto the surrounding counter putting the food back in the food bin all without gloves. I asked two managers to remove this food from service, neither manager thought removing the contaminated food was needed. He just let people take food that his ungloved servicer had touched. I stood there for a few moments and told those wanting the food what I had seen first hand. They immediately took those plates to the trash.
Charging kiddos as adults due to their genes, refused us service after I attempted to provide proof of ages and disabilities. With not a leg to stand on asked us to leave premises while my children cried and were hurt. Male manager pretended not be one and an older petty lady cashier ignorant to American rights for children especially with disabilities. Only a sour witch would put down children to make Golden Corral a buck on the expense of innocent kids shame on her...VEJA AMARGARDA! I had to rate at least 1 to move forward and submit which is a false statement they put upon us
Tip for consumers:
I have my proof I just do not want to put my kids school IDs nor their disability documentation but if you needed it I Will Provide It!
My Husband Suggested Golden Corral After Church. The Food Is Low Quality. There's Not Much Too Choose From And They We're Mixing The Sauce Into The Baked Bean At The Buffet. They Have Changed Drastically Over The Years For The Worst! I Expected A Lot More For 70 Dollars. The Only Person That Ate Was My Husband. We Just Couldn't Get Over The Watered Down Soggy Rice And Cold Cornbread. We Eat With Our Eye's Before Anything. Seeing Is Believing. I Really Wish These Restaurants Would Give Us What We Pay For. Never Again Golden Corral! Don't Serve Us Anything U Wouldn't Eat!

Food
Ordered today from Golden Corral in Albuquerque. Fish should come with french fries and hush puppies. No french fries and no hush puppies. Fish was horrible. Phone is busy all the time. I will not order anymore
$17 per person. Mediocre food at best. Most of the food look like it had sat all day without being changed. Crusted over. There was a foul smell coming from the tuna or crab salad. I promise we will never be going back. $17 dollars. No one was making steak. The guy who came on shift I heard him say no steak what the heck. He started steaks, welcomed everyone. Our girl was fantastic, she kept our drinks filled and our table cleared. The dessert table was sad. The banana pudding which is yummy had about one scoop in it and two hours later, had the same scoop. Ole dried out food. The soups gross. No way we were eating those. Old and crusted over. For $17 bucks do better!
On the way in there were customers leaving that told us the service was terrible so they got refund and left. We went in and were not greeted the young lady kept her back to us. She stated she had a long day. Which is not our problem. We sat at a table we were told to move to the crowded area. I stated that I did not want to move over there. A lady told us it was fine. Then another lady said to move and an extremely rude manager wanted to argue with me about it. So we ask for a refund so we could leave. Manager us rude and argumentative. We will never go again. Absolutely terrible experience. We didn't even take our coats off yet. The entrance had fries everywhere on the floor. We will never return!

It's a restaurant
The food was so Bland no taste will never return absolutely gross.If you dare to enter bring your own seasonings and bring hot sauce.
I don't quite understand how you could employ an armed robber and allow her to count your safe as well as $. Crystal and her pregnant daughter both robbed a store and now they are working at Merrill Riad? Really. What kind of establishment are you guys running over there? The food is cold most of the time and management seems to be nonexistent. I was there when the child molester got arrested in front of your customers. This location should have never been reopened.
Signed a Disgruntled Customer
The stake was rubber but the waiter made up for it, the family next to us was way to happy, Laquita was the stake lady I think she was off the za because I asked for medium rare but got well done and I was not letting that slide so I sent that $#*! back and she got mad. I put that $#*! on my block this was the worst experience I've had, there was a dancing homeless person at the door asking people for food so I felt bad so I gave him 1 chicken wing and for some reason he got mad that I only brought 1 so I ate it in front of him and he started chasing me around the parking lot and you know that I can't let that slide so I sticked his $#*! and then went to eat.
We went to the Tallahassee Florida location at 6 pm. Upon our arrival the food bar was basically empty. We waited and waited on things to get refilled. Same for the dessert bar which wasn't be refilled stayed empty. Along with my glass of water finally walked to the back of the restaurant and waited on someone to refill my glass myself … such a waist of money and time. This is the 2nd time in. Couple of months that this has taken place at this location we will not be back
I don't understand how this food was so awful. I think just by eating here15 years of my life was knocked off. How they managed to have soggy pancakes with black char marks is beyond me. You would think that because of the awful food the service might be some what elevated, you would be wrong.

The prices are to expensive to have nasty food. The restaurant is dirty and smell like spoil milk. The tables and seats are never cleaned. It's said they should shut down the one on Charlotte, nc North tryon st. The employees don't have no customer service experience. They always wanting to fight. Then security guard just stands there and turnaround in circles. Sad.
Very disappointed with the Golden Corral of North Richland Hills, TX. I went today November 15,2022 around 5 p.m. i spent more than a $100.00, and the attention of the griller was terrible, very unpleasant, if they do not change or fire him, it will surely go bankrupt; If that man still there, I won't return to that golden corral. Not recommendable!; Before going there look for other options. Don't go Golden Corral N.R.H.
I wish I could rate this lower than a one. The cleanliness of the containers of the food was almost rusting and looks SO unsanitary. The table was sticky and the utensils were not thoroughly clean. The bathroom reeked of gross smells and uncleanliness. Do not recommend at all. And to top it all off the "vanilla" ice cream was brown.
Golden Corral's legendary, endless buffet with a variety of delicious familiar favorites and new menu offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
