A great place for gourmets! especially for those who like salads and oral desserts, there are even three kinds of ice cream and which steaks and it's a pity that I don't eat them; I just recommend taking pictures of everyone's - bon appetit! read more

Sunday lunch. Food options were your standard Golden Corral fare. Good variety of entries, all kept fresh and full. Not impressed with the server assigned to me, who was good as clearing plates, but never refilled my beverage, even I requested that she do so. read more

I went on a trip with my alumni and we stopped here for breakfast. This place has an abundance of food! The price per person(adult) is $16 and that includes everything. All you can eat/drink. They have literally any and everything you can think of. Some of the food seemed fresher than others but I could tell what the most popular dishes were. The staff was friendly but they could use a day off to thoroughly clean the restaurant. Sorry I didn't take any photos. read more

This had to be the cleanest and best maintained Golden Corral we have ever been to! Our seat hostess, Deborah, was friendly and attentive. Easy on and off from the interstate! read more

This location was not to far from my hotel, perfect location for all meals. The staff was nice and welcoming. The restaurant was clean however the salad was not stocked. I had to ask for cheese, onion, and ham pieces. Other than that everything else was fantastic! read more

Erica was the best waitress we have EVER had! She is so nice and helpful. We will definitely go back again and request her.

Justin the manager of Golden Corral was walking around asking how's the food, my husband and I came on a Friday because they serve catfish. We asked Justin for some hot fresh fried catfish and he had it delivered to our table!!!! When I tell you that fish was hot and good!!! Thank you Justin for that delicious Hot and did I mention hot catfish!!!!! read more

Very disappointed with what was once a great place to grab a meal. Very few staff members available to help, to answer questions or to provide any kind of service, such as grab used plates or find out whether a favorite dish would be refilled. The great meal entrees were gone quickly and not refilled the whole time we were there, so it may as well not have been 'on the menu'. Same for steak and even fresh rolls. Stations weren't maintained and very few servers. read more

Hey its my first Buffet since Covid hit. I have a horrible dislike for buffets for horrible service and unclean areas. This place is amazing. The food yes is pan based fare but is as good as you would want from the other resturant that are made to order. But the staff was the best service I have encountered. The place is well staffed and the days of wasted food every where is gone. I hate to say it but this has been my best food since being in town now 6 weeks. Unexpected as all get out! Try it they are ready! read more

The 3 stars is nothing against this place specifically its just a buffet and I want you to manage your expectations for taste to lower quality higher quantity. The staff is very friendly but its pretty much self serve so dont expect a waitress/er. Its a great place to bring kids because they have a lot of options. The highlight is the slushy machine! 3 flavors to choose from, mango, lime and blue raspberry. read more

The place you take your family when everyone wants something different to eat. They have something for everyone. We came here during dinner time and the girls really enjoyed their food. I only came for the fried chicken lol! Service was cool could've been better. The inside was clean and bright! read more

I used to be a big fan of Golden Corral. It was always a really good value and usually the food was tasty and fresh. I haven't been there in over a year but I decided to stop in at this location because it seemed to be fairly busy at lunch time. Well the first thing I noticed was that literally every plate had chunks of food left on it from their dishwasher! I had to sift through the pile of dishes just to find one that had one clean side. The food itself didn't taste too bad, and it did seem fairly fresh, but it gave me major digestive issues later on in the day! Not sure if that was due to the lack of cleanliness or bad food, but either way I will not be back to this Golden Corral! read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - American Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

I used to love going to GC. Now the food lacks flavor, veggies are watered down, and some of the wait staff would rather socialize than keep a check on their customers. read more

The variety is nice. I used to love this place. But if you are active duty military or a US military Veteran, don't count on Golden Corral leadership to take that into consideration in any significant way. The customers around me were charged $14 (yes, I'm not deaf!) and I was charged $20! I asked about it and was told that it's because I ordered a lemonade. Seriously. They expect me to believe that after the $1.70 discount? LOL Clearly they think that those of us who served are too stupid to recognize a scam when we see one. And because every one of their ice machines was out, I was told that a server would bring the drink, which she did halfway through the meal. No judgment on the staff. They were all kind and professional, doing the best they can within a broken system. They know that they are stuck with corporate policies that are, quite frankly, offensive. The bottom line is simple: If you happen to be active duty or a Veteran, there are businesses in the area that actually do value your service. Unfortunately, Golden Corral isn't one of them. read more

We reserved a room for a large group of friends last week. The staff did an excellent job making arrangements for our group and taking care of our needs. The food was excellent. I was especially impressed with the vegetables which were cooked just right; the shrimp and ham were also very good. My husband said his steak was cooked well and was a good cut of meat. There were no complaints from our group with any part of the meal. The room was very nice and spacious. Restaurant was clean. read more

72 hour smorgasbord... never knew how hard this one would hit me to lose to a better Wildcat but here we are! Did you know the meat here is all you can eat?!?!? Amazing!! Feel fit as a fiddle now for next season of mediocrity. Lotta slippage at this one though. Apparently I'm not the only Cayut fan who enjoys a big meal and has the sweats. Place was littered with BBN fans... uncomfortable at first, but most left after 24 hours. Excellent service, delicious meat, and sundaes with sprinkles!! You gotta go Golden at the Corral!! read more

Had good service but we found a roach leg in our banana pudding. I have listed a photo below to show it. Normally we don't have these problems and this has only happened to us once. It was absolutely gross. read more

Pitiful what happened to this place. I had placed an order yesterday online and came up here to pick up my order,but they were not open, I didn't worry cause I THOUGHT you didn't get billed until u picked up the food... WRONG!!!! They were closed. I saw it was billed the next morning, so I called to have someone put me in hold for 15 to 20 min than I hung up called right back for her to answer the phone saying I'm sorry the manager is not here. I said, "How long was u going to leave me on hold till you told me"-. The girl said, "Wait her, they come and put me on hold again for another 10min. I hung up. I was frustrated by this time. When I got off of work I called again and was sent straight to music a girl finally came to phone but said I'm sorry wrong phone and back on hold I went for another 20min while I drove from work to Golden Corral. Where I found the manager and explained what I had gone through, he apologized and said my money would be reimbursed. Wow !!! All I can say is that wow!!! read more

My kids love coming to Golden Corral. My oldest loves getting all you can eat steak and baked potatoes. She is 11 lol. It's hard to get my 7 year old to eat sometimes so coming here helps will all the different options and the promise to get ice cream, chocolate covered marshmallows and cotton candy. read more

I came here for some fine dinning and my ice cream melted in 0.000001 seconds not lying this food is water down knock off chick-fil-a and mcdonald, nice staff though, my drink tastes like water and sugar not diet coke. read more

Excellent food & service! Omelette bar not to be beaten! :-) This morning we both had spinach omelettes. They also will do an egg white omelette for you. Who says this place isn't healthy? read more

Favorite buffet! Also, there is a rewards program which helps save money! Giving a 4 star because food labels are usually out of place so sometimes can't tell whats what. read more

I always try to begin any review with something good. So I'll start by complimenting their quality toilet paper. Which is a good thing -- because you're going to need it after eating here. In 30+ years, this is quite possibly to poorest quality food at any GC I've encountered. Everyone was extremely nice & attentive. But unfortunately, the food simply is tasteless, or it all tastes alike. There was absolutely nothing special, or even good, that would ever bring me back to this location again. By comparison (and for credibility), the GC in Rocky Mount, NC is typically excellent! So, I hope this Burlington location can possibly up their game in the future. But that is not the case at the moment. read more

When I decided where to go on Veterans Day I chose this place. The website said fist come first served so I went. Went through the line and after 25 minutes was unceremoniously told "we're not serving Veterans yet" so I left. Definitely won't be going here again, FMTT read more

This used to be a weekly thing where I would take my dad to lunch at this location on Wednesday and vice versa. The waitresses are friendly and never let drinks go empty. However this one star review isn't due to the wait staff; but rather the poor management and kitchen staff. The kitchen/buffet staff will straight lie to you or ignore you. And the management is horrible when you go to them with a concern. Now, you may wonder why would someone even have a concern in the first place at a buffet. Well, this is the first Golden Corral that I had a big enough concern to even go around asking. The concern is the big attraction is the fried chicken at lunch. My father and I always eat white meat, but it seems the management has elected to so skimp on stocking chicken breast to cut cost and corners so they can report lower operating cost and more profits to corporate. There are days they literally only have cheap dark meat at both fried chicken locations at the buffet. Ask the kitchen staff, they ignore or just say no more chicken yet come back out with a fresh pan of legs and thighs. Ask management, they will claim they are waiting for the supply truck despite this being the excuse for 4 weeks straight. It's obvious they are cutting corners while still charging you full lunch price for a full buffet. I wish corporate would see this and step in. read more

Absolutely disgusting! Never in my life have been to a "Buffet" that every plate, utensil, an cups was dirty! Food sucked! And talk about a rude staff ! Needs to go!! read more

Our ladies group met there for breakfast, it was quite nice. We were given a space where we could talk and enjoy ourselves without being disturbed or disturbing others. We wall got the buffet, which I have to say is way worth the value even with my dietary restrictions. They ate already talking of reserving for our next meeting.. read more

They gave me sprite instead of water and it made me really sad. :(

I only came here because of the reviews... I swore off buffet food many years ago! I must say it didn't disappoint! Even my toddlers ate and ate and ate!! The food had good flavor and was hot! A big plus-- the sweet tea was sweet! read more

This is probably the worst food I've ever eaten. The steak was over cooked and the chicken was raw. The chef needs to be checked on and they need a health inspection. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Over-cooked steak (was supposed to be medium-well) - American Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Usually I turn away from Golden Corral because of my past experiences at another location. But because many restaurants were closed on July 4th, we decided to give it a try. The food was great. Everything was on point. We enjoyed the pork steak, clam chowder, and fried chicken! Also they have a chocolate fondue that was great! What was sad was that we noticed that tables around us were hardly tipping. A family of 4 left a dollar for our server, and another family of 4 simply got up and left , leaving nothing, while the server was not around. Tip the servers y'all, they work hard, at least one dollar per person. We left our servers a big tip because we didn't want her to work for nothing. Will be back soon! read more

OMG!!! Mmmmmmmmmm....finger licking good! A gift from God! The pizza is BAE. The pot roast is BAE. The carrots are BAE. I know what you're thinking. This is just Golden Corral. But this is no ordinary Golden Corral. This is Golden Corral 2.0! My family stopped here on a road trip. The service was good and the kids ate for $2.99 apiece. I generally hate buffets. This is the holy matrimony of buffets. Yum! read more

Dinner at Golden Corral yesterday was delicious as always. The young lady on the register really made us feel welcome. The server was a different story. She was unpleasant though she did fill our glasses and observe our table when she walked by. I observed her as she would give an irritated or disgusted look at her customers when she would leave their tables and booths. Her name is Kelly and we will be sure NOT to sit in her area again. read more

Not so sure what to expect from a buffet of this sort since I'm fairly new in the area, but I didn't like the food (kind of nasty) and the servers are not exactly helpful to the overall experience. Not planning on coming back. read more

This was the first time in a long time I've gone to a GC and now I remember why (not just COVID) Sub Par food. I could only stomach the salad and that unfortunately made me sick before I even made it to my car. The waitresses are nice the kitchen staff not so much. Salad Dressings are extremely disgusting and I'm pretty sure they had gone bad or something I've never been to a restaurant where by the time I get to my car.. never going back. read more

Im definitely not a buffet person but this place was surprisingly GOOD! They have just about everything you could think of. But it smells like dirty dishes in there and we had to place our plates on empty tables because the servers rarely came. I'll probably never go to one again but it was decent for the price. read more

I visit this buffet restaurant approx. once per week. Always has been pleasant food and friendly staff. However, this evening while I was putting together a fruit dish, a kitchen worker (name tag said Mike). attempted to push me away and grab the spoon in my hand while I was getting some melon ans became very rude irate and abrasive. Apparently he was really hassled because it was very busy and he needed to dump his bowl of whatever onto the buffet table. Very unacceptable behavior. Totally unacceptable behavior, he should look for another job or be releaaed from employment at Golden Corral. read more

The management at this place was ON POINT! I normally do not like buffets and particularly not a fan of Golden Coralls but this particular location was EXCELLENT! Very fresh, clean and lots of variety! The turn over of the food was never delayed and for the amount of high traffic customers on a sunday afternoon the staff had it running at a perfect flow! I watched the manager as he patrolled the buffet and kept it looking clean and stocked. I was very impressed how this restraunt was run! Good job! read more

We enjoy going to Golden Corral due to the friendly staff and numerous options. There are several staff members at this location that are always pleasant and even remember us each visit (Nancy, Kurt, Kim). The breakfast at Golden Corral always meets expectations! read more

Lot of choices on their buffet, lot of spicy options which I love and also can put together a salad that will compete with anywhere. Sometimes a little noisy but handles a lot of poeple. Their breakfasts on Friday-Sunday are as good as can be found and food is almost always fresh in appearance and taste. read more
