8pm on a Sunday night, 12 of my family members stopped in at Golden corral for a late night celebratory meal after the championship game. We knew that the restaurant closed at 9 PM, but the cashier and the staff, including Carrie welcomed to my family, and the large family behind us was in let's open arms. The kitchen staff continuously brought out fresh food, and I even heard the manager Jay tell the carving chef to get fresh steak on the buffet, because two large families just come in. We were there a little over an hour and the kitchen staff continuously restocked the buffet bar and the dessert bar with fresh, hot food. Originally we concerned that we would get dry food that had been sitting there food because it was so close to closing time, but I'm delighted to say Jay and his team were phenomenal, even at the 11th hour. BTW the food was delicious. read more

Food was great I lost 5 pounds from it ,cause I was on the toilet for 30 minutes.So great place if you want to lose weight

The food here has gone downhill compared to what they used to offer. It's a smorgasbord restaurant. We used to love the food there. Since it was sold and new owners are there the variety of food and the quality of cooking has drastically changed for the worst. read more

So glad that a friend brought me back after 5 years! It has been remodeled, which was great, as I wasn't planning on returning, after my first trip there. On two different trips, two friends and I tried a variety of foods from the hot, cold and dessert buffets. We had a nice waitress on one visit who checked on us often. She earned her generous tip. I liked: the lima beans, the crab salad, cold beets, the baked fish over rice (my favorite), the pork spareribs, baked sweet potato souffle, escalloped potatoes, and fresh fruit. For dessert we tried the cheesecake- a bit dry; banana pudding-delicious, cotton candy-I'm a kid again at the Fair; carrot cake- a bit too dry for me, and fudge brownies-YUM. At the time we went, everything looked fresh, just put out, so we really could have overeaten on what we didn't try - Ham on the bone, beef stew, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked white and sweet potatoes with all the fixings, a variety of salad makings, spaghetti, pasta alfredo, baked fish, shrimp of several prepared varieties, chicken in several dishes, beans, cabbage, etc. etc. We arrived in time for the Early Bird special ($10.99 I believe) to save $3.00 per person and food fresh - early for the lunch time menu - the place was filled by the time we were partway through our meal. Hostess that took our order was friendly and helpful. We asked about Senior meals, and she gave us the Early Bird special which was even cheaper! Booth seating was comfortable. We tried the tables with wood chairs, but they were too uncomfortable. Seating arrangements were decent, not overly crowded. Good lighting, we could see to eat our food! We always check our plates and silverware for cleanness - was good. Location was convenient to a shopping mall and other stores, Getting on and off I-85. Not a lot of handicap parking but adequate for days and times we went. This is a place that you definitely want to eat in and not do take out. More value for your money. read more

The food was fresh and hot. We stop for breakfast and enjoyed everything. Staff was friendly and polite. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming. read more

The lady who cleared our plates and made sure our drinks were filled did an awesome job. The food was delicious.

Very disappointing. Food was overcooked and dry. Ran out of chicken and took 20 minutes to put some more out, same with pizza. Instead of having multiple pizzas they had one half pepperoni and the other half cheese. There isn't a lot of space between seats everything is tight. This Golden Corral is on the small size with not a lot of food choices. read more

Buffet was very nasty and the guy cooking the steaks was extremely rude! We asked for a Med-rare steak, and he had no clue as to what we were asking for. I had to show him a picture on the buffet. He pulled a raw steak that was not red but brown! First sign of spoiled meat. I thought we'd try it. I had to tell him to take it off the grill because I knew it was ready. It was well done again. I cut it into it, and it was very tough, and it had a rotten smell to it, so we did not eat it. We had to ask for fresh fried chicken (breast) FIVE times and never got any. There were many empty pans on the buffet the entire time we were there. The salad and desert bar were disgustingly filthy. Ice cream all over the server and floor. The dining room floor was filthy. The staff were letting little children play with food, putting items on their plates and then putting them back on the buffet, coughing and sneezing on the food, licking their hands and getting more food, and the worst of all... They guy that didn't know how to cook a steak, I watched him spray a sanitizer that was clearly marked right onto a dirty pan while the mist went all over the food in the buffet! A TOTAL WAST of $40.00...! We'll NEVER return! read more

I was so disappointed with my delivery order I love their fried chicken at Golden Corral but this time when I order the chicken fun box and the fish dinner it was horrible the chicken overcooked hard dried out the fish was three little pieces that looked like scraps that fall off other pieces of fish they must have felt bad so they threw in three hard pieces of shrimp and fry's which I didn't ask for I have never .normally golden corral has the best food ever but this time it was so disappointing read more

I used to LOVE this place but since that video came out about THIS GOLDEN CORRAL about the roaches/bugs I've been scared. So please fix that

Just wanted say this location here in concord has been here for awhile now, the have remodeled the inside and it looks great the food is wonderful and if your here for buffet style this is the place to be love the selection of food can't beat it. Service is pretty great too. read more

SEE MY UPDATED POST FOR VISIT DATE 1/25/2020 AT THE END Only for my kids. Lol I don't know why kids like going to buffets some much. The food is mostly cold and even the right food temperature. Tho' the variety is pretty large.. I'm not a fan places like this. I like my food fresh lol. My waiter was nice enough to let me know when It was fresh food coming out that I was looking for. Because I don't meat I was unable to eat the greens because they ALL HAD MEAT IN THEM. I could only eat the cabbage and salad. The salad lettuce had a brown color to it... so cabbage it was. They have a very good sweet potatoes soufflé, fried okra (when is fresh) and fried fish (when is fresh) thbasically all I had. UPDATED POST: 1/25/2020 MY O MY have they REALLY DID A GREAT JOB REMODELING THIS PLACE!! It's WAY MUCH CLEANER THE FOOD (well on my visit) is good, hot and fresh!! I can not believe it. When my son wanted to go here I was like "Do we really", LOL. But I would say if they got this up ..I would most definitely would go back, of course it would be my kids pick not mine. But I would not mind going back. well to this one anyway read more

I was pleasantly surprised with our recent visit. Mass produced buffet food is not always top notch but I really enjoyed the food. The "awesome pot roast" lived up to its name and the fried chicken was crispy and moist. The desserts were not the best (the ice cream machine was not working properly) and the chocolate cupcakes were very dry. The server visited our table often to refill our drinks. We will be back. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I understand service dogs are allowed in establishments but how in the hell do someone think it's acceptable to carry your dog in your arms and be at the buffet.. spoke to a manager and she was lost and confused as to how to handle. We left needless to say read more

Went here for the 1st time. Not a big buffet person except for the ones in Vegas. This one was better than most. I enjoyed the wide variety of items. The buttered rolls are amazing! The chicken and dumplings were tasty as was the crab salad. Hubby enjoyed his fried chicken and BBQ pork. Would return. read more

We wanted something quick so we went to Golden Corral Buffett and Grill for lunch. The restaurant was clean. The food was hot and delicious and our waitress was so polite and helpful. We had a great visit today. read more

What more can be said about such a favored chain. Golden Corral is the industry leader in many areas and in my opinion, and the industry standard for care and concern of veterans Nationwide. Their groundbreaking feeding of veterans on Veterans Day has shamed the many of the rest of the restaurant industry into following their suit, at least showing some honor and respect to veterans for their sacrifices. The food for tonight's meal was l par excellent, as was the professional attitudes and courtesies of the staff, even in the midst of a cold, rainy evening. Kudo Golden Corral #589, Mission Accomplished!!! read more

I never write reviews, but I have to write this one cause I'm actually so pissed off. First things first service was ok never got refill on my drink but that's fine because my boyfriend had drinks and he was ok so it didn't matter to me, food was decent nothing special. It's pretty much over priced but we expected that since we have been to one of these before. We thought we get some food here cause we just came from the discount tire place across the street but absolutely never stepping foot into a Golden Corral again. Me and my boyfriend come home feeling like shit, I thought it's just cause we ate to much but no. my boyfriend got ill he's throwing up and much more. and I'm extremely pissed cause I can't do anything about it and have to just watch him throw up!!!! I'd love my $40 back! read more

Great food except for breakfast time. My grandpa calls it "THE TROUGH" because we always pig out.

My kids love and adore this place - it's usually their top request due to their love of the mac & cheese and the mashed potates. Oh and the ice cream bar. I like the variety of foods offered and they have the BEST fried chicken around! It's so juicy and tender, with the skin crispy and delicious. The servers are generally really nice. Overall it's a good buffet. read more

Everything was good UNTIL we saw a roach crawling all over the food area , some other customers let a chef who was walking by know , all he did was come smush the bug with pans he had in his hands , didn't wipe the counter down , didn't even have the decency to apologize , acted like it was completely normal . they didn't even change the food out after either . read more

Saw the reviews tell me the AC didn't work a couple months ago. Walk in there to see about 10 small fans scattered around the dining room floor to make the whole place cool felt like a freaking sauna in there I went to go get some food no flavor someone does not know how to even use slat and pepper the most disgraceful crumbly Cupcake to ever exist with dirty dishes that had still spots of old food from past customers do not recommend. read more

I am a regular customer at the Golden Corral in Concord NC and Capitol Blvd in Raleigh. I find both these stores to provide hot, tasty foods. Some of the best fried chicken around. read more

After the makeover I came for lunch and I was totally surprised at how downhill this place went. Decided to give breakfast a try and to my surprise awful! I will never come back and waste $45 on my family of 4 again it's so upsetting that the food isn't like it use to be and even worse it's always cold. read more

My husband & I ordered Golden Corral for delivery a couple nights ago. He had fried fish & vegetables & was very pleased. I ordered steak. It was still warm & cooked Perfectly! I'd also like to mention that I had a grilled chicken salad delivered from there that was delicious & perfect for 2 meals for me. read more

I was dreading a public meeting at this place becuz my last meal at Golden Corral was a bummer, and pricey too. But I arrived at 10:30 a.m. with all the food out and it was a beautiful sight of fresh fruits and steam tables. The service was super. My glass was never dry. There was the usual fare, but the desserts were unusual and best of all included some very small calorie items, like a single piece of candy or one single marshmallow to dip in the chocolate which is important for dieters who allow themselves a tiny bit of carbs each day. The stir fry table was a little less well stocked, my only complaint, The ladies room was clean. read more

These guys seem to be more focused on their personal work rather than their customers. Food that should be kept up is ignored while they change out pans and other shift tasks. The staff are nice people but their work focus needs attention on customers and their satisfaction. Decent food for the money. Pretty much what you expect for the price. read more

This is an older location of Golden Corral that has tried to convert to the newest Golden Corral concept. The main problem is that they didn't remodel the business to the new and easier customer flow that the newest concept offers. This location has new signage over the older food stations (salad, desserts, main items) and attempted to offer the new asian/italian/hispanic/seafood/etc foods without having the space for it. This results in a very limited food selection as compared to a newer Golden Corral/ The employee carving at the grill area that also cuts the ham or other meat offerings for the customers was very polite, as was my server. read more

Typical buffet style place. Jose the meat cooker was rude when my son asked for a piece of meat. Looked like it was redone within the past year or so. No ass gaskets in the shitter though. read more

They have roaches in their kitchen,the food went to decent to mediocre while the prices are still high,save your money, go eat elsewhere.

Bitter disappointment, for the price, we could have gotten much better food. I will say, our server "Tonya" was very good. Much of the food on the buffet looked as if it had been there for many days (I'm not exaggerating). There were devil eggs with yellow crust on top. They had marshmallows and strawberry's skewered for the chocolate fountain but didn't have the fountain going, they did have some chocolate you could dip in. I grabbed one of the marshmallows and it crunched when I took a bite, I thought this must be what it's like to eat styrofoam. The guy on the grill had about 6-8 people backed up, I would have been about number 5 in line but he wasn't even going to look my way or inquire as to what I needed until he got the group in front of me handled....I'm guessing they wanted triple charred, extra well done meat....I wanted medium rare steak and some ribs, which were ready to be put on my plate. We prayed on the way home that we didn't get food poisoning. Stay away, this place sucks. read more

haven't been there in a while, & won't be in a hurry to go again. me & 2 others went on sat. night. got there about 7:30 [ close at 9 ] & got food off the bar, went back later to get more of the same-wasn't there! replaced w/ things i didn't want. after meal, went to dessert bar & most of the plates were either empty or "crumbs". a man that was there asked the girl behine the counter about a cake [ you could see it on a rack ] she said we have to save it for tomorrow! what about us here now! we paid for food just like they will! so then went to get ice cream...out of order! DID NOT get no where near our money's worth! will not be returning any time soon if ever!! read more

Two words: Absolutely Not. This place is complete junk. The meat is pure rubber. I would give this place zero stars if I could. Golden Corral prides itself on being fresh, but we all know that's not true. Remember the 2013 scandal? Please don't come here. read more

We went for dinner and had a line to wait. The food was really good as I had a little bit of everything. My husband had some steak and it was grilled nicely, juicy with flavor. The place had music kind of loud but I liked it, I was actually dancing to it sitting as I ate. I found the place to be clean and the staff seemed happy to be there. read more

Golden Corral is a traditional After Church go-to place. Not sure why, though. I guess church folk love the concept of "All You Can Eat," especially when it's only $10 for "adults" and $7 for "seniors." Shrugs. It's pretty close to "home-cooked food," once you've shaken off the fact that you don't actually know who cooked it. The mac & cheese makes me siiiiiing!! Sooo creamy and soft, pleasing babies and the elderly just as much as those of us with teeth. The beef stew was pleasant; the beef was tender and well-marinated, but the vegetables somehow lacked flavor. The potato salad was meh (my mom's is way better), as were the green beans. The rolls, however, are the tastiest foodstuff on the planet. No lie. Seriously, if I could come here and get a whole plate of hot rolls without stares, I so would. For the lazy amongst us (myself included), there's a takeaway buffet option. All you can eat that can fit in a takeaway box for 5 bucks a pound. Solid deal. read more

The building is a bit old, although they make lots of effort on upkeep on the inside. However, the food here is really good. It's a step above what you get at other Golden Corral. The grill cook is always great, and working hard. read more
