I know most Golden Corral Buffet's can be a scary thought but the one in Anderson is different. It is usually busy any day of the week for dinner which should be the first clue to how good it is. The food rotates fresh at a reasonable rate. The servers are on top of refills and clearing plates. If you are looking for variety and the ability to fill up, this is the place. read more

Some of the food was good, including the pizza and the mac and cheese, but that's basically all I could stomach. The entire restaurant smelled like cottage cheese, and there was a horrid stench spread throughout the entire building. Spaghetti was dried up and not boiled properly at all. Hell, this is my first review ever, but this place genuinely surprised me with the sanitation.

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - The dried-up spaghetti. There was a whole batch of it. It was barely even boiled properly. - Buffets Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

The buffet is reasonably priced, the waitress is on top of things and the food is delicious. The price of the drinks is kind of high, but the water is free so I will definitely be back again. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - The interior of the restaurant - Buffets Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

We had lunch here yesterday with my 82 year old Mom. The food that was available was good. The problem is just about anything you would want was empty, fried chicken, pot roast, steak etc. and you are lucky if you can get someone working the bar to stop and even acknowledge you and if you stop them you get an attitude. Our server was great. She kept our plates cleared. I'm also disappointed that they don't brew their own sweet tea anymore. I don't like the Gold Peak they use now read more

Paid for scarce buffet and left hungry. 2 adults with 2 children. No pizza. No pasta. No mashed potatoes. No steak. No roast beef. Wasted our money so could not eat anywhere else. read more

Ever since they reopened after the pandemic, this place is great! The salad bar is top notch, and everything else is top quality as well. I haven't visited during breakfast hours yet, but I will. Dollar for dollar I don't think you can beat it. read more

Arrived and started to the salad bar at 7:10. Salad bar had several items empty They were never filled. I went to the restroom and came back with a salad and still had no silverware. I have no idea who my server is but there is a girl that is trying to take care of things for me. Like getting me silverware and a refill on my drink. Just because I'm by myself doesn't mean I shouldn't get food service like the others that are sitting around me. It's like they think oh she won't tip but the thing is I tip very well when treated properly. It makes not want to tip because I have no clue whom I'm giving my money to. Food was subpar. Seems like all they cared about was doing their closing duties. That seemed to be the norm at 7:00 when they close at 9:00 Have had way better experiences here. Don't think I'll be back for a while. Ice cream was about the only thing that was good. $20.82 for a bowl of ice cream read more

Dirty, most popular foods the pans were empty When I ask for some Ribs cook got up set. No way will I go back.

The food was pretty good. The service was very amazing! The ambiance is clean! I would recommend this place for your birthday to be here because My dad's birthday was on April 5th and the food at the buffet was so good. read more

absolutely the worst buffet I have been to, the food had no options, the salad was stale, the taco cheese was on the other side of the damn restaurant, there was cheese all over the floor, it was just not a sanitary place at all!!! read more

The food is not bad for a buffet style type restaurant. The servers are very helpful and continually make sure that you have your drinks refilled, and your tables cleaned off of used dishes. Buffets are not normally known for ambience in that they utilize open seating, which tends to be somewhat loud. read more

The Food was Amazing and Most importantly Tisha Willis is ABSOLUTELY the Best & Kindess Waitress and Has The Socail Abilities of a Saint !!! read more

Really good food! But the constant breathing down your throat about a tip when you self serve yourself is kinda ridiculous

Tamara was a wonderful server. I enjoyed her server. I will be back. Tonight was a great experience. Thank you for your great service. Thank you Charlie Cheshier read more

My husband and I visited the Anderson In. location on Wednesday, June 19th. It was horribly disappointing. First, it was so hot in that building you could hardly breathe! Let alone eat. I was pouring sweat the entire visit. I used most of the napkins wiping sweat off my forehead! My husband could hardly eat because the heat was making him nauseous. We had 4 glasses of water trying to cool down. After we both had one plate, then i asked for the manager. He was very rude and lied straight to my face. I heard many people complaining, but he told me I was the first to complain??? He said this while he was dripping with sweat and had wet marks on his shirt. I know it had to be over 80 in that building! It was cooler outside, and we had a heat advisory today! I asked the manager if we could get the rest of our food to go. He said no and there is nothing he can do, it's company policy. I am pretty sure having the air conditioning working on one of the hottest days of the year is policy too? If not it should be! I have NEVER been to a business where the air conditioning was not working properly. It needs to be shut down till it is fixed! I was told that when the workers complain about the heat, they are simply told, "McDonalds is hiring???" Every worker in that building was sweating. It is an unsafe work environment. Nobody should have to work in that environment. My waitress was very kind and kept the water coming. She was very hot too, but she tried her best to keep us as comfortable as possible. I left her a 10$ tip. But I told her, it was for HER and her work. I would not have left a tip if it wasn't for her! The manager was very condescending, dishonest, and disrespectful. He literally told our waitress "It must not be that hot, their eating?!?!" behind our backs, TOTAL JERK That man should not be in an authority position. We drove 45 min. From Dunkirk In. to visit Golden Corral, of course we still ate. WE PAID FOR IT! In these hard financial times going out to eat is definitely a treat, so I made my husband finish eating. WE PAID FOR IT ?!?! The food is good quality, but we will not be back until the winter. If at all! This is really bad business and leadership. I mean, where is the district manager??? Because if he has been there this summer, HE KNOWS HOW HOT THAT BUILDING IS! It's a shame to take people's $ and have them sit in a SAUNA to eat! Very disappointed, Anginette Dearing read more

Great food and our waitress casey was amazing always enjoy going to golden corral in anderson

The GM was RUDE. We got there and they were getting ready for lunch. I asked if they were pulling breakfast and he said yes. Since I knew my husband was looking forward to the breakfast, I started getting some gravy for his biscuits. The gentleman behind the Buffet grabbed the spoon out of my hand and walked to the other end of the Buffet and put it in the gravy. The food was good, wide variety of breakfast and lunch items. Parking is easy. The waiter Sean was great. Attentive but not overly attentive. It was cleaner than the last time we were there. Everything was good except the guy grabbing the spoon, which we later found out was the General Manager. read more

Good food. Good value. Carla makes all the difference. Fun, honest, hard working. We love Carla. The manager, Kathren, even took the time to talk to us. Such a friendly place read more

I want there tonight after not going for months because their air-conditioning was down and the manager didn't even care. It was so hot that we couldn't eat our food. I wonder how the kitchen staff kept from sweating I'm people's food? Anyway, the place is GROSS, it has to be one of the WORSE Golden Corrals around. Our waitress needs to practice better hygiene, I really hate saying that, and the food was mediocre and service was terrible! I will NOT be back to this location. It's a shame too because it used to be good. read more

Kathy is a wonderful waitress and so kind to everyone she serves. Thumbs up for her service.

Food, service and cleanliness have improved at the Anderson location from levels just two years ago. It is still quantity over quality, fresh but bland. Staff was working fast during dinner to keep tables cleared, drinks full and food available. They did a great job. Good experience for a corporate buffet. read more

Only reason to leave a review--Excellent staff. In particular: The young lady at the register, Tiffany, was exceptionally cordial & just had a pleasant way of interacting with guests. Starts the experience off very well. The other ladies bussing tables & refilling drinks were also courteous. (Buffet food is not my favorite but the place is clean & well run.) read more

I was there waiting after 10 o'clock and they never opened so I left to go eat somewhere else business is hard to figure out

Got bit by bed bugs twice and wasn't even reimbursed. Was offered passes to come back. This picture is a day after the bite. They took pictures themselves. read more

My wife and I visited the Anderson, IN, location and asked to purchase 2 senior dinner buffets and one Coke.  Our 23 year old daughter (who has Down syndrome) accompanied us and was not going to eat (only drink the Coke we were purchasing).  This has been our practice for years as she has oral sensory issues and has a very limited diet.  The cashier charged her for an adult buffet even though we emphasized she was not going to eat and the waitress would be able to verify that.  He went and got the manager who then informed us that no one is allowed to enter the restaurant without paying for a meal.  We explained that this is our practice regardless of where we take her because she doesn't eat any of the food whatsoever.  The cashier then spoke up and said "I've never heard of something like that - it would be different if she had a tube or something."  We then asked for a full refund and took our business elsewhere.  Needless to say, we will not return to the Anderson, IN, location.  I HIGHLY recommend your company post the policy of the requirement to pay to walk in the door (even when someone isn't or more specifically can't eat) and also provide training to your management and employees on disability awareness and discrimination. read more

Went today and went to get cookies and cotton candy and the Mexican woman said no speak English and I pointed at it to get some and she pointed at someoneelse. The woman should NOT be working if she doesn't do anything but stand and say I don't speak. Give the job to someone that speaks English and is willing to help. At least set the cookies out. read more

Oh, it has been years since I ate at a Golden Corral because a few of them closed down! Still great variety of food. I was full after 3 platefuls. FYI; they have a chocolate fountain. read more

Absolutely the worst service I've ever experienced! There was absolutely no meat on the bar at 6:30p.m. No one running the steak or ham station. When I talked to management I was told they would be glad to refund me and I could leave after spending $60. Not to say we wouldn't have stayed and waited but a little more compassion would have been nice. When asked about a discount was told that wasn't part of there policy! I will be to call corporate tomorrow. We go atleast once a week for our family outing dinner and have never been treated like this or seen the bar look this awful read more

I'm actually very impressed by this location. It's clean, well stocked, and the food area was pretty nice. The staff could be friendlier but maybe that's normal. A little pricey but after actually eating, I feel the price is well within its means. I'd come back. read more

Love eating here, food is great. Service is great. BUT - restroom today was disgusting. Literally feces wiped on the wall of the stall I used. read more

I went here, the server, the head cook, the cashier where all high on speed. We ordered steaks, after we got them the steaks smelled like a nasty dirty toilet. I took it to the head cook. She replied "what do you want me to do about it"? I could not believe it!! The entire place smelled horribly bad! The manager could care less! The next day 3 of my family members had what we think was food poisoning. I left several reviews on their page. Guess what? I was blocked!!! The place needs shut down AGAIN! Whatever you do, don't ever eat at the one in Anderson,IN! You will most definitely regret it, and possibly end up badly sick from it! If I could give negative stars I would! read more

The poop in the bathroom was a 5/5. the bathrooms were sooooo sexy. mmmmmmmm. they made me want to cry. the food tasted like it was left in pee. servers were 5/5. found some yummy hair in my food. mm mm mmmm. read more

Server at our table was awesome, but quite a few dishes looked old and dried out..croutons obviously old they were very stale...getting a piece of steak that wasn't well done was impossible..if you are going to be out in the front working please get a new apron the look of food and what not all over your clothes is very unappetizing...with COVID not sure all the proper channels being followed read more

The food this evening was very delicious, on the other hand this establishment was extremely dirty. On the clean plate stack most of them were still dirty, or covered with spilt food. The floor was full of crumbs and most tables were not cleaned off. I was very unimpressed. read more
