Golden Corral

I have dined at Golden Coral Restaurant for over 20 years in Texas and have always been MORE than satisfied, until I moved here in 2012 and dined at the Palm Bay Rd Golden Coral. Never in my life have I dined at ANY restaurant as nasty as that one. I have given it 3 chances since then and nothing has changed. That IS MANAGEMENT AND THEY NEED TO GO. They are filthy and from what I gather the management there does NOT care, because unless YOU as management are so unaware YOU would have seen how nasty YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT was filthy. After 3 chances which is MORE than ANYONE would give any place of business they give their money too? I will NEVER go there again. Change management.

Just left paid $ 40 for two adults and two children to eat a cold dinner and have terrible service just plain disappointed the management was also in the vack eating hot food while we ate cold smh… We will drive to Orlando next time. This is what i get for not checking Unilocal first

Uh! Duh! I’m a teenager. It’s like uh-​mazing! It’s not about chu! Its about the restaurant GCB for golden corral buffet… Well however, the selection of food is hard, so good, and bountiful. You can eat all you want– enough. I put 5% ⁵⁄₅ I ment kinda so 100%! and the stars are ⁵⁄₅ thats actually more like it! I read a newspaper about the Buffet! and the commercial It said BEST BUFFET IN THE USA. To me its silly! Anyway! By. Continue with and by Coral-​Amanda

All you can eat — enough said. My parents and I came for the breakfast buffet during this most recent visit. The décor is minimal and they could have used a few more passes with the vacuum and new paint. However, the selection of food items is bountiful.
Upon entering, I scanned the different buffet sections: 1) salad bar, 2) and 3) were hot breakfast food items, including a made-​to-​order omelette bar and 4) desserts and pastries (um, you can have ice cream, cookies and cake for breakfast. My inner child did a happy dance at this point).
Oddly enough, I started my breakfast with a salad. The lettuce was freshly washed and there were different types of lettuce and salad toppings. I got too excited with all the options and ended up with a salad mountain on my plate. On my next venture to the buffet, I liked my plate with scrambled eggs (which I opted to top with buttery mushrooms and cheese), biscuits and gravy and thick cuts of maple bacon. I did make a third (and final) trip and went back for some biscuits and gravy as well as some strawberries (it lessened the gluttonous guilt). All the food was yummy –not gourmet or anything, but still tasty — and I waddled out of there satisfied.

Food was ok ribs ice cold manager seams to be more worried about cell phone then the store wait staff was ok took some time to get my water refilled.

Selling meth to stay in business?
If you read any positive review regarding the Golden Coral located in Palm Bay then they must be confused travelers on I95 thinking of another location or it’s a paid fake review.
It was the most disgusting, dirtiest restaurant I have ever seen with little exaggeration! The food was so disgusting, I had to leave. Trust me, I am no overly pompous food snob. Yes, I was a grunt in the U.S. Army so if need be I could eat grub worms to survive for fuck’s sake!
You would be a fool to risk illness if you choose to eat here. Don’t be stupid!

Yesterday, September 5, I commented on this site about the Golden Corral on Semoran Blvd in Orlando. This AM, I visited this restaurant for breakfast, so I can compare and contrast the specific items I noted about the Orlando location.
Coffee: Noticeably better than Semoran Blvd. I’d give this 3 ½ stars.
Omelets: If Semoran Blvd was a C+, this was an A-​. None of the ingredients was pre-​cooked. This cook handled the cheese differently inside the omelet rather than waiting for the end and allowing the fold to melt the cheese.
Sausage gravy: The same — long on gravy and very, very, very short on sausage, as if it would break the company’s bank to add a little more to the mixture.
Bacon: Better cooked than Semoran Blvd, but a bit inconsistent in «doneness.»
Creamed chipped beef: This place does not have any. Boooooooo!
Sausage: Not nearly as good as Semoran Blvd. That sausage (small patties) appeared to have been hand-​shaped, while this was purely pre-​cooked packaged patties that were dry.
Other items I viewed appeared to be fresher and better presented than Semoran Blvd. A pity that this store is not open for breakfast during the week, only on Fri, Sat. and Sun.

Has anyone seen the video of the employee of GC in Palm Bay showing the treatment of food… put by the dumpster due to an inspection schedule. It was disgusting. Raw burger patties, ribs, casseroles, gravies… not to mention the flies. in the enclosed dumpster area behind a wood fence. I couldn’t believe it but I’m not going to try my luck. Naw!!!

The service is horrible. The food is very bad for the price that you pay. The cooks are rude. Went once and will never go back again.

We drove up because of the rib offer. It reminded me of cruise food. Lots of suspicious looking stuff. Just went to say we went. Won’t be going back.

I was pleasantly surprised by out dining experience this evening. I am usually not a buffet fan; tonight I am. Our food was very hit, and very fresh. Tonight they were serving steak cooked to order, and bbq ribs. Both had surprisingly good flavor. My steak, ordered closer to rare than medium-​rare, was cooked exactly how I wanted it. Other items hot and fresh tonight: fried chicken, chicken and dumplings meatloaf, a variety of Mexican food, a few Asian dishes, a large variety of green salads, and other types of salads. For dessert a large chocolate fountain, delicious carrot cake, brownies, ice cream, fudge, and many, many other items. I forgot to add that I enjoyed fried shrimp with my steak.
The atmosphere is noisy, the floors aren’t the cleanest, and the cashier was a bit grumpy. There was a large crowd tonight, and many children. Despite the few caveats I listed, I will again dine here. My daughter has been to the chocolate fountain 3 times, she gives the place 5 stars (what kid wouldn’t), but I will stick by a solid 3 star rating. Decent value, family friendly.

Filthy place. Stay sway. Dirty silverware, small variety, undercooked food, smelly restroom.

This is the most disgusting place ever to eat. The workers where cleaning a leak and they where doing it over the food. The food is nasty cold dry and siting there since real early without changing it. Just Disgusting. I told the cashier on the way out. There was no manager around. I will never eat there again. I’m making sure no one I know will ever go there again. That place needs to close down and clean up get all those nasty people that work there out and get clean kind people who care about people food. The Heath Department needs to check this place. I put 1 star because it will not let me post without a rate.

I am not a fan of large buffet restaurants due to the price. I always stuff myself to make sure I get my money’s worth of food. I find this restaurant pricey like the others especially for a family of 4. They do offer a military discount that helps.
You have just about every type of meat and side you are looking for or craving. I stick to my usual choices… fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, and green beans. My husband loads up on meats. My boys love the veggies and of course the ice cream bar. =) They have a decent variety of salad and veggies. If you have a sweet tooth… this is the place… fondue, ice cream, cakes etc.
The restaurant has always been clean, and the servers have been nice but scarce. I recommend going earlier than later. It seems that right at 11 is the perfect time or the late in the afternoon around 3 if you want to skip the crowds.

If I could give negative stars, I would. Awful. Old, cold food. Dirty. Poor service. Seriously, the worst GC ever. Go to Orlando instead!

We meet my sister in law and her kids here on the weekends. Perfect place for the kids. Thats about it. Pot roast is yummy. The desert bar is crazy. Banana pudding is what killed Elvis.

The salad bar is very good with many choices. That being said, the place has gone way downhill from when I used to go years ago. The steak is way to fatty. The vegetables were very soggy and over cooked. The service is very good. If you never been to a buffet place then go here just to try it. Better off going to a decent restaurant instead.

Ok there is no Golden Coral where I live so we figured we’d try it out. I will start off with a few good points. The drink server was nice and fast. I was also surprised that the steak on the buffet line was cooked medium rare. Now it was also cold and fatty to the point were it was really not edible. As for everything else well just walk down the frozen food aisle in your local grocery store you will find all there.

This particular GC is decent. Yes, if you show up at the wrong time of day it’s a mad-​house; yes, it’s a buffet so you don’t necessarily get the best of quality since there’s plenty of quantity; and yes, the management is less than friendly… but I still think it’s pretty decent.
The salad bar is the best part — Everything is always fresh and you can see them preparing more to as they start to run out. The food, like I mentioned, is not overly great, but it’s not bad either. I’ve never been fond of their steaks, but the meatloaf, chicken, and taco bar has always been good.
Of course, the best part of a trip to GC is the dessert bar. Although I wish their ice cream was more «creamy» than «icy» they have such a wide variety that you can find something else to sweeten your tooth.
The other thing that bugs me about the place is their pricing, it is overpriced for the quality of food being prepared.

Overrated and overpriced. Will not waste that much money on this place again.
