Golden Corral

Let me start by saying that I don’t right reviews. This is my first. But I do read reviews and choose restaurants based off what people write. But i felt that this one needed to be shared. The worst meal ever. Facility was very, very dirty, including the bathrooms. The Prime rib was cold. Obviously a lot of food had been on the steam table a while because of how dry and burned it was. Even the strawberries for the chocolate fountain were rotten. We stopped because we needed a place to eat that we could get in and out quickly. Well that part worked because we did not stick around too long. Prices outrageousness. $ 15.00 a person. But was not even worth $ 5.00.

This was probably the worst Golden Corral I’ve ever been to. The food was just awful. The chili was old and dried up, the veggie sides were bland, and fried chicken wasn’t crispy, it was soft and some were even soggy from the steam.
Very disappointing.

We are a family of four traveling for vacation. We stayed close to this location and had dinner here. We were pleasantly surprised. Food was fresh, quite a selection, and the desert bar was great as well. Our sever was Sherrie and she was attentive and efficient. Worth the money, and there was something there for everyone, so we left happy!

We arrived a little after 11:00 am & were among the first customers of the day. The bathrooms were clean. My plate was rough with food particles that had not been cleaned off so I got a second plate. The bowl for dessert was the same & I had to get a second bowl. They should do some scrubbing on the plates along with running through the dishwasher. The floor around the buffet was sticky, particularly around the salad bar. A lot of the lettuce was brown around the edges & I could not believe they expected anyone to eat the brown slimy mushrooms. The Caesar dressing had a half inch wide dry rim at the edge of the dressing. Wonder how long it had been sitting there? Fried okra was good as was the cheddar garlic biscuits (with real garlic). The mini steak burger had a nice crust & toasted bun, but it was dry as was the lukewarm meatloaf. I guess they forgot the Italian seasoning for the spaghetti sauce — very bland. Turnips were also bland. Chocolate chip cookies were good and I love their fudge. Had to go back for a second piece. Sweet tea was good, but the coffee tasted like it was left over from breakfast. Oh, but today is Friday & breakfast is not served. Freida kept our drinks refilled and was friendly and courteous.

It’s Golden Corral so you know already what you are getting into. Everything was presentable and our server Amber was very attentive. No complaints as this was a pit stop for us.

We have eaten at this Golden Corral several times… however this will be our last. The salad bar was a mess with food outside of the designated containers. The hot bar was okay, however the staff had a difficult time replenishing the empty food trays. The dessert bar was pretty messy also, however not quite as bad as the salad bar area.

We have been to many Golden Corral Buffets across the state and this one is subpar. The staff is not prepared to handle big crowds. Messy serving line w lots of food that has been consumed and not replenished. Looks picked over. Employees not concerned. We will not be returning having tried it several times.

I know eating at Golden Corral is never anything special, but this one is not as good as others I have eaten at. In fact, it’s probably the worst one. Go somewhere else to eat!

The salad bar was really good. It’s prime rib and shrimp night. I was okay.
We stopped here to eat while on a road trip. It was a Friday night and the special was prime rib and shrimp. The place was packed. I’m guessing a lot of locals eat there. The layout is the same as any other Golden Corral — Salad Bar on one end, entrees in the center, and desert bar on the other end. They had cotton candy that night, which my kids just loved.
I had a salad with Ranch dressing. Their Ranch is pretty good but you can tell by the taste that it’s the bagged lettuce, which I don’t like. The hot food was not bad. A lot of it looks like it came out of the frozen food section of the grocery store, but they never claim to be fine dining, so I can’t knock them for that. (And this is a better alternative than fast food.) The prime rib was ok. I preferred the baked chicken. And I had some cherry cobbler for dessert. Overall, it was a good place to stop and take a break and have some decent food.

Eight of us were returning to Atlanta from Albany, GA when we decided to heed the call of the Golden Corral billboard. Good salad bar, good buffet, good dessert selection. 100 Health score makes this a good stop for travelers.
