We happened to stop in Gallup, NM and stayed at the hotel right next to it. We saw the reviews but went anyway. It was solid. Tried a number of different items and they were all good. So, if you're looking for a decent meal at a decent price, try it. read more

They scammed us, we brought service dog they saw it and let us in minute after same person to say its ok said that's dogs are not allowed, and rice were dry and same with spaghetti, and when we didn't even eat we asked for refund and they said in a week. read more

The food was good but they ran out of a lot of the main dishes. The place is dirty too presentation is everything.

The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. Great value!

We been driving for 12 hours, got to Gallup and majority of the local eateries were already closed or about to be in comes Golden Corral. Read reviews and expected this place to be a trash heap, but was surprised it wasn't. We were greeted promptly got our food that was hot and fresh, waitress came by with our drinks gave her a tip, we finished up and onward we go. Everyone was very friendly, food did its job. The restroom could use a little more love though. Other then that, thank you everyone for your services. read more

This Golden corral had excellent food. Plenty of it. Good service. Definitely recommend and will be going again read more

Place has really tired around . What a pleasant dinner. Surprisingly delicious. Would recommend, the steaks were juicy and the food was fresh .. nice read more

OMG DO NOT GO HERE! Disgusting! The bathrooms were more disgusting than an outhouse. The food was terrible! A lot of the food was completely out the entire time we were there which was probably a blessing. I think the big sign at the cash register that says NO REFUNDS should have been enough of a red flag to stop us from going on in. I've never seen a no refunds sign at a buffet. read more

This place is gross and disgusting. We ate our meal without drinks, there were waiters. Definitely not worth the money. read more

Thanks for server Ava's attention and the perfectly made coffee, she's a true professional that made dinning at the Golden Corral a great place to eat. read more

The food was not it... looks like it was out for a while and some of the trays were empty. Right when we got there and we were about to pay there was a sign that said *non refundable* should've seen it as a major red flag. Seen as to we were just driving by trying to grab some food before it got late. It was unfortunate because there aren't many places to eat around here. read more

Believe the reviews average two stars is being nice. Let's start with overcharge on weekends . Mexican buffet warmed over crusty looking alpo dog food.most stations were empty with food that did not look appealing. Desert station empty . Ice cream machine out of order.found two hairs in the food.showed this to the manager and says have a nice day couldn't care less.lackadaisical cairless staff .better options would be the selection of fast food in the area.this place could use a health department inspection. read more

Do not eat here. I had vegetables and soggy ass cheese pizza and immediately got a stomach ache. The only reason we came here is because I knew they would have a salad bar and ALL the lettuce was wilted. I should have known when we walked in and saw the "No Refunds" sign. I am expecting food poisoning. read more

I mean, it is Golden Carol so they're not always the best for having consistently good food and it is a hit or miss but what drops my review is the absolutely awful service from the manager at the register, her name rang up as Andrea on the ticket. From the moment we walked up and spoke she was being incredibly rude and short with us and snappy. Her attitude almost had us leaving and avoiding the place entirely. When you're up front you're the first thing customers encounter, don't make us want to turn away entirely. Waitors/Waitress tend to be unresponsive to tables and don't check in too often but that doesn't bother me as I know how it feels to not get to everyone due to other tasks in the kitchen/drink stations. Bathrooms aren't super clean, I don't think they mop or broom that often. Other than that, food is decent but overpriced, $75 for 4 people, it's Golden Carol. read more

The food was really delicious. The waitress was busting her tail. The restaurant was clean. What we were not impressed with is one of the manager ladies reprimanding the baker lady, while she was working, where all the guests could hear. She was cussing her out about not making blueberry French toast. That was not cool. She could have taken her to the office and talked to her in private. I honestly felt bad for the baker lady. Overall I like GC. But I don't appreciate hearing employees getting chewed out in front of guests read more

Food was horrible! Service was just as bad. The ambiance was dirty. If you're looking to catch food poisoning or some sort of illness this is the place for you. read more

Stopped by during cross country trip. Restaurant is clean. The person at the register was very friendly. A lot choices to choose from. We liked the clam chowder and the desserts. The rotisserie chicken, however, was dry and very salty Overall, great place to eat and very cheap read more

Stopped by on a road trip so that we could all get something different to eat. As far as the food goes, they had a good variety. I like the BBQ section (pulled pork, different sauces, and text toast) and the salad bar best. The fired chicken was average (more flavor needed), the tots were excellent, and the mashed potatoes were really bland, so I'd skip those in the future. The wait staff and register attendant were polite and welcoming. read more

I love this place, never crowded, food is fresh and very good,. Has senior discounts as well as military! The thing we like the most is the serloin steaks, ( dinner time, after 4 pm) they are cooked to perfection and they taste amazing! Very tender!!!!!!! read more

Been awhile since we ate here in gallup... place is usually dirty and packed... but what do you know the place has been remodeled and things have changed. It's looks a lot better and the food is even better... brunch menu is good, a lot to choose from. I would recommend this place as it's improved and food quality is better now.. read more

Unfortunately I cannot give no stars which is what this golden corral needs. Angie was very unfriendly. We had to look for our server constantly for more drinks. It was obvious by Angie's attitude that the food was not at the proper temperature or cooked correctly. When we first arrived the restrooms were closed while they were being cleaned. Once they were finished we went to the restrooms to find they weren't cleaned very well with feces on the outer bowl of the toilets. I wouldn't recommend this Golden Corral and will not he returning. read more

BATHROOMS ARE DISGUSTING. One of the employees walked out of the boy's bathroom and my uncle walked out right behind him and he was surprised. The employee wasn't even bothered by how gross the bathrooms were! They stink and they're just nasty. Doesn't look like they've actually ever been cleaned read more

Gallup Senior Olympics would go back to the friendly service and wonderful food and clean restaurant The Romanian lettuce was fresh. Cornbread with fresh We would recommend eating there after a long day read more

Very clean, everyone was very friendly and the food selection is amazing. Everything we ate was very good! Pot roast was excellent and hubby enjoyed the fried fish. read more

Traveling across the state, my husband and I decided to stop in for some dinner. We were both highly disappointed. Pretty much all the meat was extremely dry. The Garlic Parmesan Wings were flavorless and dry. The ribs were so tuff to eat, it hurt my jaw. I gave up. The rice was hard and not cooked all the way. The waiter was awesome and very attentive but the food was horrible. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Worse then a gas station bathroom. read more

Horrible everything is undercooked and watery I ate a piece of steak and sipped my coke and left never again this is the worst Golden Corral I've been to better ! read more

Not even sure where to begin. No straws, napkins, refills, three piles of dirty dishes on the table when I had to plead with a passing server to please take them because we had no idea who our server even was until about 7 minutes before we left. We asked for rolls because there were none out and were told we have to ask our server, but that he (another passing server) would get us some. There were 5 of us and he brought 3 rolls. The men's bathroom was so disgusting that my husband had to send my son into the ladies room to use it. Almost all the dessert toppings were empty. When we are ready to leave I see the manager to let him know what went on and the excuse I got was that it was the 1st of the month and they always get busy on the 1st of the month. Its actually the 4th and I'm totally lost as to why if he knows this, he wouldn't have been more prepared. Horrible! read more

The food isn't that good, and it takes forever for the waitress to bring you your drink... Also they need to sanitize the servingware because the customers obviously don't wash their hands after using the restroom... I was in the restroom washing my hands and the 2 guys that were in their went straight from the stalls to the buffet... Disgusting people ... I will not come back here again... read more

Food is undercooked and not alot of items are being refilled. Some food bins were empty and the steak is terrible!!! My son could not finish the pizza and he loves pizza. OH M G! THE RESTROOM IS TERRIBLE/ HORRENDOUS IT STINKS, not mopped in how long! The walls are caked with grime or idk what that was. It's was disgust, once I seen that bathroom I couldn't eat anymore. Just image how the rest of the upkeep is. YUCK! Management has some serious problems to attend to! read more

As long as you know that you are walking into a chain restaurant that is a buffet, this place is ok. No expectations for 5 star meal. So, in Gallup, I have found two salad bars. One of those salad bars is here at Golden Corral. I was happy to be able to make a big plate of salad with the choice of so many toppings. I also tried a piece of steak and some veggies. Those were okay, but my focus was on the salad bar. If you need a salad in Gallup, NM go to Golden Corral. :-) read more

I would not of gone here if it wasn't my father's favorite place. My father is by no means a cuisine connoisseur, he's a simple man with simple pleasures and Golden Corral is his choice. I have one rule in life - - I do not eat at buffets. Not only because of the uncleanliness but I also don't eat that much. We were in line to get our plates and utensils. The plates were being touched by everyone who were moving them around to find a plate that looked decent enough to eat off and every utensil I picked out had some kind of food stain on it. I cringed a little but didn't want to say anything in front of my father since he was paying. I had a salad, the fried chicken was decent, steaks were a little overdone, but the pot roast was really good. The fried shrimp tasted old and fishy. We didn't even try the dessert bar except for the Jello-O. All in all, I don't think I'll be visiting this restaurant unless my father wants to eat dinner together again. read more

First time to one of these. My mom likes the and loves the senior discount. So they have a large selection BUT very limited as to what is enjoyable. If you just want to stuff your face for cheap by all means, this is your place. Some thing we're good, had a top sirloin cooked perfectly but the fried food is a gut bomb. The service is Meh . I picked silverware out and it was dirty. Gross. read more

Went there today around 11 for lunch....we were the ONLY customers....we should have just left.....all the food bins were full but stuff looked dried out....I saw several employees adding liquid's to dried out food instead of changing it out..... My boy friend ate some crab salad and immediately had to go to restroom.... A employee that served us water started cleaning stuff while we were trying to keep the spoiled food down, with a nasty rag......who cleans in front of diners? After my boyfriend made his second trip to the loo, it hit me too.....we left and made it to another bathroom just in time.....we will never go back EVER.....they don't care..... Just look at the outside of their building and see the back side, its filthy, I don't want to think on what the kitchen looks like. The owner has no pride. Very disappointed because we used to like it...... read more

I have been to many, many Golden Corals and let me tell you this one was the best. Yes I didn't expect it to be good, I was extremely impressed with chef and the great grill job he did. The wait staff was amazing and the food was spot on. Will definitely stop in next time I go through town. read more

Friendly customer service is lacking. Especially in the dessert area. Waiter was nice tho. Lots of room for improvement.

Don't waste your time stopping here. It puts yo shame the name itself. If only corporate would visit this place to make a change for the better. Main dishes to side dishes sitting in warmers to keep from getting cold. This is not good, they risk customers getting food poisoning. Surprised they have not been shut down. People keep on driving to the next restaurant. In reality does not even deserve to be rated one star, it should have the choice to give -0- read more

Closed the dessert bar before the restaurant closed. Manager said she can't stop the workers from doing it. What a loser manager. Both should be fired. I manage a team of employees and they do what I say. read more
