Father's Day
June 19, 2022

What a joke they charge you more on Father's day then the regular menu prices
16.99 for open to close when breakfast is only 10.89. But not on Father's day it's 16.99
What a joke they should be ashamed of themselves

No clean dishes food was cold

We won't be going back. Not enough help and most of the employees were new and not being taught the right way. Blaming Management

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!

Wast of time and money
June 11, 2022

I went here with my husband and we had the worst time they have young people working there who don't listen to your drink orders on refills. Not to mention the food was dry. The table was nasty I shouldn't half to clean it before I sit down from stake sauce it has been there for a long time. I went to the desert bar I seen what I thought where nuts (I have a nut allergy) I asked one of the women if it had nuts in it she said I don't know I asked her to please find out she told me no. There are no signs posted may contain or have anywhere for those with food allergies. If I pay to eat out I ask those questions so I don't die or need to go to the hospital.

Went here for a DC trip
June 6, 2022

The food is horrible especially the meatloaf and fried shrimp. I got back to the hotel and sh*t my brains out. The service was terrible, I think the toilet was clogged everyday since we ate there.

Good is nasty
June 1, 2022

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.

Its gone way down
May 27, 2022

The mgr at the one here on 22 nd street Tucson is ill-mannered uncaring, and not hospitable, and I think that the corporation is the same. The excuse is the viris. They need to improve, The food is not good sometimes, the mashed potatoes are not done like before.the vegetables are poorly cooked.the best employees are the waitresses who are great.and waiters. I would say improve and when you send out the birthday invite for a free meal do not hook it in with me buying another.My husband died and I have no one to take, and moreover that's not a gift like before.

Horrible customer service in Hattiesburg, Ms. Especially when calling the phone. No need to ever call. I guess managers don't exist!

The food was ice cold and someone literally decided today was a great day to $#*! in the sink. Hot dogs were horrible and the desert felt store-bought.

Mother's Day 2022
May 9, 2022

We drove 65 miles one way to eat here for Mother's Day. Over $120. For dinner. It was just ok. The Chocolate fountain Nolonger is operating and The Cotton Candy is Gone.(very disappointing for the children). The place was packed and the Employees were friendly and helpful.
The worst part for me was the Dust you will see in the photo.
Not sure we will come back to this one as this is the 2nd time I have been Disappointed.

About as good as it gets
April 11, 2022

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.

Don't Waste Your Money Like My Family Did..
April 10, 2022

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!

No seafood!
April 8, 2022

I was the most dissatisfied Tuesday evening 4-5-2022 with Mt airy, NC golden corral. There was no seafood on the menu except that soupy fish. They usually have the crispy fish and crispy shrimp. I filled up with other foods, but I wanted seafood!

Aggravating
February 12, 2022

First of all I was insulted three times by same cashier by asking me if I needed the senior discount, I am 51 but not in my late 50's or 60.
I think it would be nice if they put up a sign saying if you're eligible ask.
This girl made me depressed. You never know what someone is going through.
Then I see a woman with an exposed breast to feed a near one year old. No blanket, I don't appreciate no one saying anything to her. She should have had a blanket or something to cover up it being a public restaurant.
I'm not against breast feeding, but I am against seeing nudity while I'm eating, other men and children were exposed to that as well.
I'm about done with them.
Rudeness all around, food isn't even what it used to be. No stars if I could be allowed.
