My husband and I visited Golden Corral Buffet today. It has been our first visit since they’ve been in this “new” location. So as you can tell it’s been several years. Our server Krista was on top of it. Super sweet, kind & caring. She refilled drinks, tools plates away, just the sweetest. There’s so many food selections to choose from. We had a great experience. The restaurant was clean, buffets were clean. The bathrooms needed some attention, a good cleaning. We will definitely be back!

Food was amazing. Felt like eating a various places all at once. Haven’t been to a Golden Corral in years and I hope to return again soon. Would be nice if there were hand towels in the bathrooms instead of just hand dryers.

Went for lunch and they had so many options! Anything from pizza, tacos, nachos, burgers, ham, steak, mac & cheese just to name a few. The dessert options are very good as well especially the cotton candy cake! I think it's neat that they have an Icee machine with 3 different flavors as well. The strawberry shortcake one was the best. Not too many people for a weekend afternoon which was really nice. I would 100% go back again!

Majority of food was either too salty or a lot of breaded stuff. Sauces were just super salty. The fish tasted fine but its over-breaded. I wouldn’t recommend the place if you wanna get full. Prices were okay except for the almost $6 drink per person. Food was overall edible but not great. Service is impeccable and I like the people, just not the food. Place kind of looks ran down, blinds were dusty and the place smelled like sweat and musk. The ice cream was the only thing I enjoyed eating.

Worst experience of my life. A little girl got spanked by her parents, one of our cups had a booger, the other had old food on it. I'm not even kidding when I say a girl got spanked. It was an awful experience and a waste of 21 dollars.

Good was good but nothing to write home about. They store was relatively clean but the silverware we received was definitely dirty. Finally, the service was ok at best but they did seem rather busy. All in all, I’d go back but maybe when they aren’t so busy.

The food was decent. But the place was dirty. The floors was nasty. And the entrance to the place wasn't clean at all. Think they could use more varieties in fresher food. The chicken was dryer than the sands in the desert .

Workers were great but the food didn't taste very fresh. I know with buffets it's expected to not have everything super fresh but nearly everything, that I picked out at least, was disappointing. The pizza was really good though. The cantaloupe was terrible and the rolls, which are my absolute favorite, were hard on the bottom. The wings didn't look thoroughly cooked but I'm also sketchy with myself when it comes to judging raw meats being cooked. So I could very well be wrong about that one. Lastly, there were quite a few flies hanging out. Which again, is expected at a place with tons of food sitting out but, I can't stand flies. They are disgusting and soon as I noticed them I was done eating, it ruined my appetite and freaked me out I probably ate food one had landed it's dirty nasty self on. Prices were a little high for the quality of the food and atmosphere.
