    Out of the locations near me (Anaheim, City of Industry, Downey, Pomona, Covina, Bellflower and Ontario), the Anaheim has the highest lunch prices at $18.99 per adult. I thought prices would be the same at all locations but it's not. I didn't realize they had different prices on the menu, where you can see an increase of prices. We spent $61.39, getting only water since they charge for beverages. There are plenty of tables and booths; even for larger groups. They have a typical American and Mexican food, salad bar and dessert station. My favorites were the pot roast (tender but could have had more sauce), sausages, meatloaf (juicy) and freshly grilled cheeseburgers (bread was too thick). The Mac n Cheese looked too thick instead of creamy!! The fried chicken was piled high. The taquero serving Mexican style tacos wasn't there at that station, even though the food was there. Not even when dinner started and after 5pm. They also have an ICEE machine with Cherry Limeade, Sour Apple and Pina Colada flavors. My favorite desserts were the pumpkin and red velvet cake balls, which are fantastic freshly made! The pumpkin pie was okay. The carrot cake looked dry. The chocolate soft serve was good with peanuts on top! The chocolate pie was a little too dense. The Rice Krispies treats were better without chocolate. Overall, typical buffet food. They do have a grill station that cooks hamburgers and after 4pm, steaks. The first time I got a piece of steak, it was bland and a little over medium rare. But, the 2nd time I got one, it was seasoned well and definitely medium rare. The guy at the grill station was very nice though. For the rest of the staff, customer service could have been better and friendlier. It was a little warm in the restaurant.

    Thia was my first time to this location. They offered a wide variety of food. Dinner was $23.95 plus your drink. The steak, roast beef was very flavorful. The ham was a bit salty. The mashed patatoes with a bit of gravy gave it a bit of taste. They have a large dining area here and will accommodate large groups. The service was decent, the only thing that was a bit frustrating was the the attendant was a bit rude and kept sweep and cleaning behind and around the guests table while everyone was eating. And bumping into our chairs. Other than that everthing was great.

    Always come back to the 'food Disneyland' analogy because everything is awesome, everyone is having a good time, and though your eyes and stomach want to? there's no way you could go on all the rides you wanted to in one day ( always something fir next time) This was on a Sunday Street Taco bar was open till maybe 3:30 or 4pm? I always say this but the totally happy friendly and all-in staff make the experience i had forgotten to bring cash for a tip and as our empty plates were being whisked away? went back to the register to ask if they did casback? they totally did, it was superfast and easy to accomplish I pointed out the manager to my brother, adding that he's been manager as long as I've been in SoCal and is why such good people and food and the best GC. He said that guy right there ? Then told me he'd seen him waith a tray getting all the best picks, my brother had thought he was getting it for himself Turned out he was making a perfect meal for an elderly disabled customer And THAT sums up why ( even if there's no way anyone could do something that everytime) Anaheim Golden Corral is the best Golden Corral, heart and soul

    Aloha gang! After a day at Disneyland, we decided to choose the nearest AYCE buffet and went with Golden Corral Buffet and Grill. There was an ample selection of food to choose. From fish, shrimp, meat Loaf, pasta, grilled steaks, the list goes on and on. I haven't even mentioned the salad bar and desserts. Just be advised, drinks are also available but are not included with the price of the buffet. My favorite item at the buffet was the grilled steaks. I don't know how or what they season their steaks with, but it was tender and juicy and I savored each and every bite. You just walk up to the grill and let the chef know how you want it cooked. It will be grilled to your liking. My other favorite dishes were the meat loaf, pot roast, stuffing, mashed potatoes, beer battered fish and to balance it all out, I had to visit the salad bar. I ended my meal with dessert, a chocolate pie and believe it or not, they even had cotton candy. I've never seen that at a buffet before. All in all, after the meal, everyone was happy, full and we definitely enjoyed our experience at Golden Corral Buffet and Grill. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

    First time here at Golden Corral!

    Very interesting time at Golden Corral Buffet! This is my first time ever going there. We wanted to find an all you can eat buffet with a lot of varieties and choices that was affordable as well. My intent was to try as many varieties of food, to get feedback on them, and for me to discover what I actually would enjoy the next time I visit here as well. To begin with, and this is my opinion From someone who eats out a lot at all you can eat buffets that are still available, I wanted to give some feedback. There were some items that were good : for example, the fried chicken was good, french fries, I thought the pizza was good. Over half of the desserts were very good. But I didn't care for at all, all of the soups that I tasted, and I tasted them all ! The shrimp was not edible. Ham way too salty was the ham. There were items that were fascinating to me for example, the steak and a few other other items had glazed sauces on them, and the sauces tasted more like the food is supposed to taste such as the steak, but the steak texture and chewiness was not up to par. Service was great, Maria our Waitress very kind. I met the manager Matt I believe - he mentioned that people either really love it here or they don't. The ambience, atmosphere would be one that you may expect that and all you can eat buffet. I'll leave that to your discretion. Nothing was great tasting except for one item, and that was the oatmeal cookies. Even the coffee was off - Maria was kind enough to get me a small glass of milk, to go with it. I don't think I'll be returning, because I don't think the scores going to change. Or the food! Lol.

    I went to Golden Corral on a weekday for lunch at around 12pm. I didn't have much in terms of expectations but I was surprisingly happy from my experience. The selection was mostly American food but included some Mexican offerings. The burger was not bad but the street style tacos were good. I enjoyed the fried fish coupled with the clam chowder. They had plenty of chicken offerings and I enjoyed the fried chicken which wasn't dry. Lunch is about $19. It's a good idea to go when they open so the food is fresh. Also added bonus was the icee machine which you mix with the ice cream. The dessert is small but I think icee and ice cream was enough for me.

    We came to Golden Corral on a weekday, and it was not full, very quiet which was nice actually. Because we came around 1130am, the food seemed fresh and we enjoyed not having to wait in line. They also put out breakfast which I didn't expect, I would have preferred lunch food since the restaurant is not even open for breakfast on weekdays. There's a taco bar which is a nice extra. Lots of chicken, including baked chicken, bbq chicken and fried chicken, and fish. On weekends, we have often enjoyed things like ribs, tri-tip akd steak, also pork chops. However the only meat being offered was burgers. I heard that dinner has more choices. The highlight of the buffet was definitely dessert. Iced and soft serve ice cream, along with chocolate-covered rice krispies and all kinds of pies and cakes. While I consider it a bit expensive for what you get, it's fun to take the family and we would love to come back if there was a special promotion or discount in the future.

    Sunday dine in - Dinner price 20.99 is justified Soft drinks aren't included sadly. Soups to get - Clam chowder. Pesole pork was okay as I had the bottom of the barrel which consisted of only broth. Skip the chicken noodle as very starchy. Recommend getting the grilled steaks at the grill. Beer battered fish was a hit. Fried chicken and pot roast are winners as well. Mac and cheese were good. Self serve slushies and dessert station is nice as I don't often visit. Cons- the meats at the taco shell station definitely needed restocking. Melted cheese as well needed attention during lunch rush. Street taco station became available nearing at the end of my dining experience. Service- Plates were cleared within a timely manner.

    It's been over 10 years since I've been to a Golden Corral. This location opens at 10:30am not 11am. We got there right when it opened. Breakfast and lunch options are available upon opening. Staff members were nice and helpful. The food was fresh and plentiful. I brought my mom here for the sake of childhood memories back home in Texas. Ambiance was nice and calm...with good oldies music playing. Definitely a nostalgic visit.

    Lots of options for a burger! Beef. Chicken, vegetarian, etc…read more Hey, beer is vegan too! Great shakes as well! I love that they support locally made independent breweries

    Greasy, bland, and overpriced…read more Came here with my girlfriend, I ordered the garlic onion ring burger and she ordered the hawaiian burger, we ended up sharing a side of onion rings. First of all, burger places should not make you buy a side... sides should come with the burger, especially if youre charging 16-20 dollars per burger. Potatoes arent expensive, stop price gouging customers. Second of all, upon receiving my burger I noticed that It was dripping in oil, I had to deconstruct it and dry it , my hand almost turned see through. It was literally dripping. Burger was also bland. I had to drench the burger in ketchup in order to be able to taste something. Onion rings were not any better, the crust was drenched in oil. There was so much crust and a little small sliver of onion. I could feel my arteries start clogging up after the second onion ring. The dips were bland as well. This meal left such a bad taste in our mouths. It honestly felt like someone dipped the buns in oil and that's all that I was tasting. I paid 45 dollars for 2 bland greasy burgers and a side of onion rings drenched in oil. I never write reviews but I had to after eating at this restaurant. Extremely overpriced, bland food, and greasy as well. If even one person reads this and does not give this establishment money then I will feel like I have made a difference. Spend your money elsewhere, for 45 dollars you can go to INNOUT and get so much more for way less, have enough money to buy fireworks, and still have enough money to fill up a gas tank for 4th of July. Total shame, service was really good. Ambiance was decent.

    This is one of my favorite places to come in Fullerton with friends, or to bring my wife on a date…read more Their patio is dog friendly, which is nice for pet owners. Ambience on the inside as well as the outside are both pretty great. I've also never had a bad meal here, virtually all of their food is spectacular and made from scratch although their prices are not "cheap" they are also very fair, especially given the quality of food. The drinks are also dead on, they have a wide range of craft beer as well as a full bar. The service is great. The only thing I could think of the lands in the constructive arena is their live music. Sometimes they have open mic nights, other times they have a hired band or musician. The music is way, wayyy too loud. I don't mind live music, but it can't be so loud that you are unable to enjoy the company. Patrons should be able to talk to the person or the people next to them without being drowned out by the music. I recently came with friends for drinks and we were having a great time for the first 10 minutes we were there, but when the music started, we couldn't hear each other talk at all. So we just sat there quietly, drowned out to mediocre music. We all had another drink and then left. Might be a better idea to have the music loud enough to be slightly above background noise, but low enough where you can reasonably talk and listen to those around. Even ordering at the bar was tough. We would yell an order at the bartender, who would yell at back for confirmation. Often, exchanges in this dialogue included "what was that?"

    My friend and I watched a FIFA World Cup game here while eating dinner. I ordered the poke salad,…read morewhich had ahi tuna, mixed greens, crispy rice, and an avocado dressing. The crispy rice looked and tasted interesting. These were cubes of rice packed together with the outer edges fried. The cube resembled fried tofu because the inner part was soft with rice filling. I thought the dressing was decent and complemented the salad more than the ahi tuna. This entree comes in a large portion as well. Overall, the ambience was decent inside. Since there were tables already reserved inside, the bar was the best place to watch the game. The inside dining area was relaxed as we were the only ones there for the majority of our visit. We talked a little bit with the bartender as well. I was also surprised to see some board games at one side of the restaurant. In contrast, the patio was lively, and there was someone performing music. There weren't many suitable tables to watch the match outside, so we opted for dining inside.
