I like this place overall but I have to say that their system for changing from lunch to dinner felt very disorganized. I just left feeling like they need to consider a more fair way to do things. There are two lines when you come in. I was in line at the restaurant for the people who are less than 5 people party because I was just eating by myself. I went in and in line at 250 pm on a Saturday. Now, the line was moving slow for our side but the greater than 5 people party who came in after me was seated first since the greater than 5 people party line had no one in it and I saw their bill marked as lunch. There was a tall man and his wife in front of me and they let him into the buffet at senior lunch prices at 302pm. Then the manager entered something in the computer and when I stepped up at 303pm, it was dinner prices. I tried to explain to him "Sir, I was in the door by 250pm. I saw people come in after me at the greater 5 line get in for lunch". He said he couldn't do anything about it but he literally changed something in the computer just as I stepped up. Now idk if I was just looking like the easier target to cut off for lunch because it was only myself and I'm a short girl and probably physicallyI don't look like I'd put up much of a fight to turn down but it just doesn't seem fair. A big womp womp in process if you ask me. I'm just noting on here that I wish management would create a division line in the lines OR give the last person a ticket that they're the last lunch price for people that entered the restaurant before 3 pm instead of picking Willy nilly on where the cut off was. It's not exactly fun to see people arrive after you with a big party and they get to eat at lunch prices and you can't. Now, I'm not one to write a scathing review but I just want to bring attention to the process in hopes that it will be correct for the future. Also wanted to note that the supervisor didn't do anything wrong. He had to do what he had to do but I just wanted to give feedback on a better lunch to dinner transition that's fair. Thank you. Overall, the food selection is pretty good. They have a salad bar, soups, ribs, hot wings, fried chicken, pot roast, collard greens, Mexican taco section, sausages, cheeseburgers for lunch, steak for dinner, pasta, popcorn shrimp, fish, veggies and a dessert bar with icee machine + ice cream machine. read more

Food is always good! Elly our server was on top of our request. Nice place family friendly ambiance.

The food was good. The service was great and the bathrooms were clean. Probably could keep food out a little better.

This was a very Special Day! My Daughter's Wedding Day ! The food was Delicious! So many different choices, just have a little bit of everything . We had a pretty big party and our server was very delightful and quick to get back around to us . I highly recommend read more

Food was good,service was good . Was sold 50 dollar gift certificates with extra ten dollar free card. Wasn't told there was a time limit and it's printed very small small on card. Manager didn't care and refused to honor it. Was there numerous occasions including taking 25 people for bday party I could have used it if I had been told about expiration read more

We've come here for years and really don't understand some of the negative comments. We've had great servers and really good food 98% of the time which is a good number for any restaurant. We do not come at the busier times because we don't like to stand in line. We have had to stand in line a few times and as one person said had to pay dinner prices when we arrived in door at lunch prices time. She had a great idea of giving a card to last person in line coming in at lunch time to indicate they would be last for lunch price. Other than that I think it's a wonderful place. I've never seen insects anywhere in the place and it's always very clean. We were going several times a week for years but have slowed down to 1-2 times a week due to health issues so we have definitely visited enough that we would have seen any issues. I say thumbs up for a great restaurant. read more

I paid $50 for my meal to be ruined by watching a bunch of workers go from hands playing on their phones, rubbing their face, one girl even wiped her nose with a gloved hand and soon after without changing gloves handle food!!! Disgusting. I paid $48.10 to be completely disgusted! read more

Absolutely DISGUSTING THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE everything we tried, the bathroom awful ! just the whole location everything about this one restaurant is nasty do not waste your money or time! I am so disappointed read more

Just left there. Went in and fixed a plate, sat down and roaches waved at me. Got up and left. Shit guys, get it together.

they can be more attentive to their customers. First after paying we were told to wait to be seated. The guy that seated us did not speak or smile. He walked us over to the first empty table and pointed. Next we waited 15 minutes before stopping some random person who took our drink orders and didn't come back for another 15 minutes. Next plates. We weren't sure if they brought or if they were on the buffet. Would have been great if the server had instructed us but we didn't even know who she was . So I walked up and down the buffet area looking for plates. No plates. Next I asked the dessert person who said she didn't speak English. Next I asked a random guy who said he didn't know where they were. Out of breath, I sat back down. Then I asked another lady where the plates were and she pointed. Not quite sure where she was indicating, I got up to look and didn't see any plates. So I gave up. I asked for a refund. You would think the manager would want to speak with a customer asking for a refund but nope. Never saw him. This is my first and last time ever going to that Golden Corral. I urge others not to go either unless you bring your own plates. read more

I came here for a Saturday breakfast buffet and it was very good. This was just after everything opened back up after covid and I was very happy with our buffet. read more

This Golden Corral Location is the best on in Chattanooga. I feel that it's the most clean and keeps the food the freshest. My waitress, Susan, was great today! read more

This restaurant was very clean and the food was really good and there was a lot of it . The staff was nice but didn't check in a lot which is expected with a buffet restaurant. read more

I'm only giving this place one star because I cannot give it zero. I was absolutely disgusted with the service, the waiters were cold and distant toward my children when they were ordering and the food was awful. There was a hair in my dear husband's nachos. My children were exposed to explicit and unpleasant music, it was repulsive. My poor eldest daughter Emily Mae witnessed a child put it's hand in the chocolate fountain and didn't even wash its hands before doing so! There were children running rampant with no parent in sight. My children were also witness to the sight of young people showing way too much PDA. This is a family establishment!! Another thing! Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins! What do these people think they're doing when they get nine waffles in one serving!! read more

Was pretty good I say it's done the American style and culture Italy got nothing on this !

Food fresh and hot with good variety. Crowded but no wait unless large parties of 5. They made them wait for larger tables. Only issue was other customers not watching those children at buffet even though signs posted to escort them to buffet. Employees friendly, and very attentive read more

Poor system. Do not come here with group. They have no large tables kept back. You are prioritized by group size. The bigger the groups the longer the wait. read more

Mom and I love the food here. Always taste freshly made. The steak is my favorite. The servers are attentive and friendly.

Good comfort food. Sometimes it depends on the day of the week, But I love when they have roast beef, brisket mashed potatoes sweet potatoes. They always have salad and great desserts. read more

Golden Corral in Fort Olgethorpe great food and great service.We have always been happy there.

Great food and great service as always. Amazed at the wait staffs patience with tables and floors underneath left in a horrendous mess but no tips to be seen. Hats off to these waitresses. We will be back for breakfast in the morning for another great experience in dining. read more

Thank you Golden Corral for making me and a whole bunch of other folks wait outside and then in the que line for 30 minutes until the clock struck 3:00PM. Then have enough nerve to charge the dinner price instead of the lunch price! You all knew we were in line and the ONE cashier took forever to get us thru the line and I truly believe this was done on purpose. SHAMEFUL! The lady who said she was the manager said..."There is nothing we can do." That is NOT the way to run a restaurant. read more

Everything is always fresh and tasty here. It can be a bit crowded. But never that bad. Food is warm, service is also great.

Golden Corral Ft. O is very good! They offer an Early Bird special including a drink for about $8 from 2 to 4 pm. Their food is well maintained and the service is excellent! They serve a more complete menu than the other locations! This restaurant is clean both in the dining area and behind the buffet unlike the Gunbarrel location. The store on Gunbarrel doesn't offer the Early Bird anymore because according to their manager they are under new management and not affiliated with the Golden Corral franchise any longer! read more

Everything about this restaurant is five star! Food was delicious and service was superb. Desserts are 55 stars!! We would visit more often if they weren't so far away. Then again if that was the case, we might be 100 pounds heavier! Seriously, wish they would consider opening more restaurants between North Georgia and Atlanta. read more

This is the best Golden Corral that we have ever been to. It's always clean and the food is always good. Expect a line at the door because everyone else around here knows it too. read more

Service: A- Taste: B Quality: B- Cleanliness: B- Variety: C+ Nobody goes to a Golden Corral looking for 5 star anything. It's a $10 buffet for crying out loud. But the good thing about this place is great service by a friendly staff. In terms of variety, don't expect sushi or Mongolian BBQ. There's the fried stuff, the ham, basic salads, and of course the fatty desserts. Food tastes the way it looks- shloppy and filled with grease. There's a decent chance that your silverware and plates have leftover residue from a previous user. Overall, this is a good place to take your family/friends if you're pretty broke and you skipped breakfast and lunch. read more

To the management I anticipated dining there this evening. But since a large group of 30 plus people, who did not arrive together, block the checkout, and the the second wave of their party so rudely cut me off, all the while as a cashier just stood by and watched. Never at anytime did they acknowledge my presence, or make any attempt to wait on my. The party, also never apologized, although I was stared at by the group's organizer. Highly doubtful I'll ever give this place another opportunity. If its bad getting in, I can't see it any better once inside! read more

Even though the resturant was busy the food was good and the service was good. Steak was cooked the way i asled for.

Been to GC'S all over the country. This one is by far the worst one. Food is uniform across the brand but the fact that the buffet is small and I had to park 2 blocks away kind of thru me off. It was packed today and aside from the cute guy with spiked hair that was seating people I believe that I would have left.. Service was good . Just not enough room. read more

I enjoy this Golden Corral very much, Most all the Golden Corral's have the same food menu each day, but the service at this Golden Corral has always been very good to myself and friends. Always fresh, hot and cold foods where served on the food tables. The waitresses bring me plenty to drink and check on my table often. I have not had a complaint yet about the Golden Corral in Fort Olgethorpe, Georgia. read more

I don't usually pick a buffet as my first restaurant choice but we tried this last week and was very impressed.I had some of the best baked fish I had ever had on a buffet. The chicken livers were not my favorite, over cooked! The selection was nice, the food seemed fresh and clean for a buffet. Service was also good and attentive never had to ask for a drink refill. read more

The buffet was amazing. Got 4-5 plates and all of the food was fresh. The peel n eat shrimp they had wasn't that good in my opinion but my mom said she enjoyed it. The wings there are amazing and the chocolate fountain is pretty good too. read more

I have dinned at Golden Corral's before and this location is below average in many areas. I have ate at this location for many years, only to see it decline in food quality and service, yet the prices keep increasing. The last time I ate here I was sickened by the food and have not returned. I hope your experience will be better, but I cannot really recommend this location. read more

First time at restaurant. The buffet selection was good with various selections that remind you of a home cooked meal. The dessert section was fancy with scrumptious treats along with cotton candy , ice cream and two chocolate fountains. The only Downfall were the greens which had no taste. read more

It is okay, just not great by any means. Good selection but not always a good taste. Best for me is the fried fish and the baked fish. Fried chicken is always good. Vegetables are sometimes good but not always. Salad bar section is always a safe bet and their fruit and soups are normally good to choose from. More desserts than anyone needs to choose from and most are very good. Good place for kids to get to eat but parents need to keep better control of them than most do. Nothing worse than kids going up to the buffet unattended or uncontrolled. read more

I have been to this Golden Corral several times since it was rebuilt and it is the cleanest GC I have been in. Since I am a vegetarian I appreciate the little signs telling what food has pork in it. Most of the food I have liked especially the mashed potatoes, fried green tomatoes, and salads. The broccoli and cauliflower are a bit under cooked usually especially for elderly to eat. Overall for buffet food it is the best in the area for variety and taste. The waitresses are very attentive and friendly. I will keep going there! read more

Good food,better not to go when they are busy.If you call them right now they will say that they are hiring,they will even tell you when,and what day to come in for an interview.The problem is this,when you show up at the agreed to time,they will say that they are only hiring for expirenced servers,and will refuse to let you come in for an interview.I know this because they have pulled this same crap with me twice now,they are a bunch of LIARS! read more

Good home style buffet for the most part but not a Chinese buffet at all do not know why it under that category.
