What can I say about this place? Food, food and more food! If you want to come to a place where you can have a breakfast fare along with fried chicken, fried fish, shrimp, french fries, pizza, pulled pork, plenty of veggies, desserts out the wazoo, topped off with a giant chocolate fountain and so much more...this is the place for you! And here's the kicker...it's GOOD! (Now my wife would take issue with that claim, but I think it is good) It's not 5-star cuisine, but hey...it's all-you-can-eat for 10 bucks! Gimme a break! You don't have to leave stuffed just because it's all-you-can-eat, but isn't that kind of the point of an all-you-can-eat buffet? To eat all you can? HaHa. Whether you just nibble or eat until you are full, this restaurant has everything you need to build a hearty meal (or 2...or 3) Don't hurt yourself! : ) read more

we went to Golden Corral tonight . may18, 2025. first the cashier was not very nice. then the salad bar war dirty food all over it. then alot of the food in the hot bar was old and dried out. the final thing was the deseser bar was very n there was hardly anything in it and the strawberries were rotten. the chocolate pudding had hard clumps in it. Golden corral used to be so well maintained. used to be clean and the food used to be fresh and tasty. really has gone down hill. I don't think I will be going back. really sad read more

Service is great, food is great. Fantastic selection. From fried chicken to fish to grilled steaks. Definitely worth a try.

I have eaten there many times. The food has always been good. The pot roast is very good and they have great chicken livers. Overall selection is extensive and good. I have never had any bad food there. The service is quite good also And the price is right. Plenty of food and the price is about the same as a Big Mac meal. I'm a fan read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - American Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Went to this location today and had a normal lunch with my husband. As we were leaving I went to the cashier to get change for a tip for the waitress. My husband left the table after me and got stopped by our waitress who made a snide remark saying "thanks for that" when she didn't see a tip on the table. I of course didn't know this happened and went back to give her the tip and find my husband only to hear about the waitress. Very disappointed in the way she handled herself. read more

If I could leave zero stars I could, but we spoke to the manager about the Mac and cheese that looks like it had been sitting for HOURS, not touched, it was definitely something that should have been thrown away, anyways asked the manager and his response was "yeah it's gotta sit there till it gets eaten, we can't put fresh out until it's been eaten" REALLY??? I asked a server where knives were and it was almost like I inconvenienced her for even asking. Oh!!! Don't eat the spaghetti that they have... the cook that was putting fresh out was sweating and guess what went into the spaghetti, I keep thinking this place is just having a bad day or whatever, but it seems like the last few times I've been there it's progressively gotten worse. So we moved onto desert, and while I thought it couldn't be messed.... Cookies were hard as rocks... idk what was going on with the pecan pie but it was like melting but was cold. The pumpkin pie tasted like peppermint (according to my husband) overall a horrible experience read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - macaroni and cheese - American Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

This is a new low. They told me they go to buy gallons of milk when they run out. All of the food was old and I mean like really old. Methuselah old. Absolutely the nastiest chain I've ever been into. I can't believe I agreed to come in here. Never again. read more

My daughter & I just left here and what a DISAPPOINTMENT. For myself and my daughter to eat lunch I paid almost $35. She drank water and I had tea. The food was cold and taste like it was from yesterday. People were arguing with management about the price. As if it couldn't get any worse, the employees were arguing with each other. This place is a mess. I caught the managers name on duty. TJ and I am sorry my family will not be returning. If you're going to charge that much, at least let the food be good as well as the service. read more

See all

Food exactly as expected, good and plentifull Cashier ask if military or senior i told her yes I was both ......She charged full price. Service at the table was great. read more

Every time I swear I won't go back one of the kids talks me into it. To start it off the girl at the counter couldn't be bothered to stop talking to two other girls that worked there long enough to take my money until they finished whatever it was they were going on about. Then it took her about three times to get my change right cause she was still listening to one of the girls. The service is usually good except for tonight, but the food, it is always the same. Half of it is mislabeled, half of it is cold, and half of it is just not good. This is THE LAST TIME I will be going here. read more

Cleanest golden corral I've ever visited. Came from out of town and the staff was very helpful and respectful.

i'm very thankful that the Golden corral is open on Thanksgiving. It will be nice to have a Thanksgiving meal since it's just me and my dog. I hope I'll be able to take some leftovers home or should I say my car that my dog and I sleeping because I want her to have a Thanksgiving meal as well. I especially want to think all the workers at the Golden corral for working on a holiday because I know it's hard not being with family. I want you to know how much I appreciate it you're being there for us because being homeless is really hard so thank you for all you do and God bless everyone of you for your kindness and your hospitality read more

So yes, Golden Corral is your run of the mill, chain buffet.....BUT wait for it...... They have Batter Fried Bacon folks!! Read that again, Batter Fried Bacon. I nearly elbowed the guy next to me in total shock. I just stood there for a moment in total awe and amazement. So how was the batter fried bacon? eh it was OK, nothing to write home about but still, someone knew that bacon is where it's at and actually placed it on their buffet. Extra kudos for that. I really couldn't tell you much else about the breakfast buffet. They had bacon, nice and crispy, fill your plate bacon and batter fried bacon. What else did I need? Nuff said! read more

Horrible food. Everything tasted like leftovers warmed up again. No eggs on the buffet the entire 50 minutes I was there, despite the fact it was a Saturday morning brunch buffet. The guy making omelettes to order never acknowledged my presence, even when I was the only one waiting to order. Finally gave up and decided to settle for a hamburger, because they were just coming off the grill. Was informed gruffly by by a lady that I couldn't have a hamburger for 8 more minutes even though they were done cooking. My biggest regret is that I didn't tell the rude lady to have the manager refund my money. What good is an all you can eat buffet if they make you feel like shit for stopping in? read more

Well, this is the last time we will be here. The last few times we've come in the food was cold. It is steaming on the bar, by the time it gets to the table it's cold. We also saw the big bucket of eggs in the kitchen sitting on the counter ( getting cold) then they bring it out to refill the steamer, well they dont sit in it long enough to get warm let alone hot. And the managers are asses, they act like they dont care about any quality, customers, just the bottom dollar, especially the young dark hair one. The only way to get a hot meal is to see krismas at the omelette station, he's the bomb. And the only thing colder than the ice cream was the scrambled eggs. Bye yall read more

Water dripped onto guests. Steak cook was too busy in the back to serve and properly cook steak. When we spoke to the manager on duty about the dripping water he stated with a smile " at least you arent on the other side." Worst visit to a golden corral I've ever had. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Medium Rare?! I think not. Steak was still cold and I swore I heard it moo once. - American Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Went there today horrible service woman walked out the moment we payed food was barely cooked,etc knew not to come‍

If you get a chance to eat at Golden Corral...Pass on that. The food was horrible. Steak was the worst i've had at a resturaunt anywhere. The atmosphere is horrible and nasty. What else can i saw. We won't be back read more

Went in no service had to keep looking around then someone to yell at the lady to come help us they was out of the right Togo boxes she gave the little boxes which ended up being good because the food was dried out and everything was labeled wrong... will not return until new management... read more

The food seemed to be endless, and it was all great tasting, the only thing i would say is that the rice was a little bit undercooked!

My wife loves to eat here. It is the best American buffet I have tried. The food is well-prepared and tasty. The servers always keep my drink filled. The dinner choices change, but you can always count on steak. Don't expect the same quality as a high end steakhouse, but for the amount of food they prepare, they do a great job. read more

Love coming here around 10:30 am that way you get the cheaper price for breakfast buffet and you get to eat breakfast and lunch. Lunch starts at 11 am Breakfast buffet --- Adult prices is $8.79 includes drink and kids 4 and under is free. Kids 4-8 is $4.59 Kids 9-12 is $5.59. Age 3 and under is free. Great place for kids my girls are 6 and 9 and they beg every few days to come here and eat. Plenty of options and choices for breakfast , lunch dinner and desert read more

The black guy serving steak at the bar was very rude unless you had a skirt on (sick pervert). Food was average as was service. 2 and a half stars. Would have been better if I didn't have to beg for steak. read more

Pretty disappointed in this GC. Spent my thanksgiving here because it was the only place to open. I was expecting a lot more for 15 dollars with a water.. Not sure I'll be coming back. read more

Been here twice and have had a horrible experience both times. Chicken was barely done and the food was not near fresh. The strawberries were rotten, the lettuce for salads had water in the bottom of the bowl. Therefore the lettuce was wet. The clam chowder had a fowl smell and taste. So that was old. Also saw on news where the ribs were left out in the garbage area when the health inspector came. read more

I've experienced a lot better from the same location. My wife and I used to go to this location 1-2 times a month, breakfast and dinner... but here lately (for the last 6 months or so) the food has been so so. I'm writing this review because there have been major issues with quality control for months now. Below are my findings from my last experience on 5/17/2015: The pot roast was dry, tough and had no gravy. The sweet peas looked like they have been in the same water for who knows how many hours. They were turning light green and were shriveled up like raisins. Wait, there is more...their hush puppies where old, hard and dehydrated mixed in with the fresh. Brown gravy is no longer on both sides of the buffet. When there used to be one next to the mashed potatoes and one where the pot roast is located. Maybe that's the reason why there was no gravy in the pot roast? I ordered a stake rare, asked for a 2nd one and instead got one that was raw and the other medium well. I did not see the gentleman that used to run the grill... maybe the gentleman that's running the grill now is new or in training? I tried the their bourbon chicken and pulled pork (without barbecue souse)...both where dry just like their roast. The corn on the cob had brown kernels all over them (15+ rotten kernels each). I was able to find one good one out of about 12 cobs or so that had no bad ones. What's even worse, management cleaned around the container and did not see anything wrong with it. When confronted, the manager denied being anywhere near the corn. However, she said she was sorry and that she didn't see it once I told her that she was cleaning the counter around it 10 minutes prior. There is no excuse for a manager that has been working at the same location for many years to NOT see the rotten corn, dried out or over cooked vegetables and meat. The popcorn shrimps I absolutely enjoyed...two thumbs up for that one Golden Coral! Overall, we had a bad experience and will not be dining at Golden Coral at 3546 Clemson Boulevard, Anderson, SC ever again. I should mention that the manager refunded our money...which we did not ask here to do. For that I want to thank her. read more

Hello. I am writing this review to express my opinion on the breakfast bar. First, let's talk about this syrup. It was extremely runny. I ran faster than water. My pancakes were CRUNCHY!!! This is not okay. I thought pancakes were supposed to be light and fluffy. They crunched more than chips. The grits looked like milk. This was not the soup bar. The biscuits tasted like paper. We could've used some butter. Tater tots were overcooked. Chicken and waffles lacked the waffles. The skillet hash browns were burned. When my family plus one finished our meals we headed straight to the bathroom. It came out tooooooo quick and not solid. Don't get me started on the employees. They had a whole argument in front of the paying customers. They need to be reprimanded for their actions. I AM NOT SATISFIED! I will not be returning. Good riddance. read more

The food is piping hot fresh. The baked fish was a gooey mushy mess but the fried fish and shrimp was delicious. They have homemade BBQ chips! There is so much variety and the staff are super friendly. We were impressed on out first visit how the staff knew their regulars so well, even letting them know that their favorite food was refilled. It is worth the drive from Greenwood. We've gone twice on Sunday afternoons and even though it was packed, the fellow diners and staff were all very respectful to each other. The only negative is the salad bar gal who was chopping SO loud for the whole duration of our meal. Several other diners were mentioning to their servers that it was loud. I understand the need to chop 100 cucumbers is cumbersome but it was annoying. We will not sit near the salad bar again. The dessert bar is fun with a chocolate fountain and fresh made cotton candy. I personally wouldn't use the chocolate fountain because our society can be a bit gross with etiquette and one can only imagine the fingers casually dipping into it. But then again it is a buffet. read more

Service was good. The price was high for such poor quality food. After choking down the first bite of my tough, tasteless, rubbery steak, my jaw was so sore from chewing it was hard to eat anything else read more

So I know this Facebook live thing is the in thing to do for some people and that's good and all but when it's being used in a way to make fun of someone, especially if they don't know you're recording them... For instance, you're a waitress and while on your shift you decide to whip out your phone and go on FB live and record someone while they are eating just to make fun of their size... That's NOT cool in my eyes. You are a disgusting and insensitive piece of trash and best believe your manager now knows what you did and corporate will know as well!! Yes that happened to me tonight, and I caught the waitress peeking her phone around the corner, pointed right at me when I heard the person in the bakery yell out "Amanda, are you on FB live?!?". I glared at her and pushed my plate away and she knew she was caught from how she was acting to us and everyone in there after the fact. Even said to another waitress "Oh well..." So heads up to anyone in Anderson SC that's gone to Golden Corral, it's more then likely happened to you too!! read more
