Golden Buffet

We have ordered out from Golden Buffet at least twice a month since moving to Baraboo from DC. Always impressed by their friendly and prompt service and delicious food. We tried one other place in town and they are nothing in comparison. Recommend mongolian beef with xtra beef and lite onion. Menu is great all around, so don’t be afraid to order something different than the «usual» general tsos and lo mein. I’m surprised at the other reviews. Doesn’t seem like we could possibly have eaten at the same place. Give them a shot. More than worth it!

Total disregard for food allergies. I asked them to keep my food away from others on the hibachi that may have shrimp in it. They chef said ok and then put mine next to some with shrimp and actually put shrimp in mine. I thought picking it out would be enough but a case of hives proved me wrong.

If I had a nickel for every time the owner yelled at the cooks through the little food window, I could have paid for my meal.
The food was overly dry and operation seemed very unorganized. The variety was mediocre and hibachi grill was lacking in a lot of ways.
I did have big hopes for the new place in town. Perhaps it will turn around but I’ll monitor the reviews first to see if things change.

Yikes… not that great! The corny hand written sign indicating to tip their «waitstaff» was a flashing red light warning us of danger! We mentioned that it was our first visit, but even as we paid at the counter (and Yes, it was pricey! $ 11.95 per person NOT including beverage!), the man did NOT explain anything or did NOT even act grateful for our business! Plus, the hostess who seated us did NOT know anything about the hibachi grill (which was actually quite appealing!) However, when I presented my plate of hand picked goodies for him to grill, he failed to help me in ANY way as to options on a sauce! He did NOT even smile! Maybe he did not even understand English! Our waitress was ok, though. Almost ALL of the food on the buffet was about room temperature and the same stuff at the other Chinese buffet on the other side of town except they had a bit more. There was yet another corny and poorly written (according to grammar standards) sign by the ice cream freezer! One visit was enough for me!

This is not the Golden Buffet in Reedsburg, which is an American restaurant. This is a Chinese buffet restaurant. As a bottom line, it’s an adequate place, there aren’t many others in Wisconsin Dells area. First, for the downside, as you enter, there’s a sign requesting a tip of at least 10% for the waitress. While I understand the reason for this (many people don’t tip at a buffet), it’s still a little jarring to see that as the first thing you see at a restaurant. The prices are also pretty high ($ 11.99 plus $ 1.50 for drinks, plus tax) also. The food is good, but somewhat limited, as there were only 2 warmer tables with main dishes. There was one for salad, one for desserts, plus real ice cream freezer. Food was fresh (busy dinner time when we went, lots of seating, more than there was parking, I think), good turnover. Server was friendly, pretty attentive, refilled drinks, removed dishes promptly. Overall, a good buffet, though no outstanding touches.
