The Food was cold & not fresh This place is horrible. It was dirty. I would not recommend.

Has been a while since I have been to the Golden Corral. The location is easy to get to and has plenty of parking. The food was fresh, and the bars were clean. There were plenty of dining areas, and the staff was attentive to our needs. Traditional buffet food options are available. Just remember that you're paying for the possibilities, not the quality of food. read more

We went two days ago for dinner. It was a horrible experience. A lot of the food was cold & not kept hot. The only thing worth eating there was some fresh fried chicken and steamed broccoli. We tried many of the dishes, most tasted processed, bland, watery, and gross. As for the atmosphere, the employees allowed the high-pitched sounds for the ovens or fryers to stay on for 1-2 minutes before turning them off, hurting everyone's ears. The service was ridiculous. It took 10 minutes once seated to get a server to bring us a drink. Yes, pretty much everything was terrible. We won't be back. This chain has gone downhill, and it's not coming back. read more

Not my kind of place for buffet. Had green salad, beets with ranch dressing it was tasteless.

We are seniors come for lunch today, it was a horrible experience the over charge for cost just 11.30 am but they charge for dinner and the food is terrible some food is left over from morning. The services are bad. We are waiting 10mins no service for drink we have to call them. read more

I gave a 4 because staff is friendly and the food bar area are clean. They do need to restock silverware, plated and bowls better however. Food was good and worth the price, however bathroom needs serious work. read more

My wife and I just went to this location for her birthday and I must say this has to be the worst experience ever. I will not be returning, the service sucks and the overall place is a joke. Pretty racist area if you wanna be technical. All of the food we had was either cold or under cooked. Overpriced and you really think I'll tip you, haha better think again. Rude atmosphere as well. Also I hate the fact that they put their nasty ass hands on the rim of my cup. That's a big no no read more

Well, we've been wondering. We have passed this Golden Corral for a few years and finally decided to stop. I do like Buffets, but do not really eat enough to really get my money's worth out of some of them. Still, I do like variety and Golden Corral does well with that. And to be fair, their prices are reasonable enough even for those that don't eat a lot. There is also special pricing for children and seniors (over 60). Upon arrival, it was much like a cafeteria. Line up, pay and grab a plate. The ambiance is okay, but mostly the dining area is designed to get as many tables in as possible. The place was full, with many large groups and families. Our server was there and was attentive throughout the visit and they seemed diligent with keeping the dining area clean. I started with the salad bar. They had everything I like. Two different kinds of lettuce, bacon bits, eggs, cucumbers, beets, cheese, on and on! I also really liked the homemade Thousand Island dressing. I place their salad above many! Throw in some cantaloupe, peaches, coleslaw, seafood salad and yum. I couldn't ask for more. I would have been satisfied with just the salad bar! I then went on to try everything else. The meatloaf (okay), spicy BBQ Chicken (really good), steak (pretty good), catfish (really good), beans (good), fried okra (very good) and mashed potatoes and gravy (really good). See, I told you. Lots to choose from! Well, I left full. Too full! I shouldn't eat like that at noon, but everything was really satisfying. I can't eat like this all of the time, but do love buffets! I look forward to seeing you guys again! read more

We were waiting in line for a couple minutes because people where infront of us paying separately we wanted to get lunch but as soon as we got up to pay after waiting 15 minutes just to get in line the total came out to 80 because it was 4:00 just turning 4:00 i would expect the guy to be understanding about why we should pay for lunch and that we were already in the building at 3 waiting for the people infront of us read more

Food are not fresh. It's dinner price and they have nothing fresh for their guests. All are left over from hours ago. The steak and the mushrooms were cold. I wonder is this place complies with OSHA standard? read more

We had an early dinner at Golden Corral in Goodyear. The food wasn't bad. But what happened while we were there was disgusting and horrific. Behind us were a family with an elderly woman and a service dog. The waitress told the elderly woman that she needed to provide paperwork for the service dog. This conversation was not private. The waitress humiliated this poor woman in front of everyone who was eating. She went out to the car to find the paperwork and the dog remained under the table, very well behaved, as service dogs are trained to be. When the woman returned without the paperwork, the family took the dog and left the establishment, having already paid for their meal. I am beyond disgusted with this treatment of people with disabilities. As I left, I made my feelings known, making sure to do so in front of customers, just as the wait staff had done to this family. read more

Whenever we are really hungry, and cannot make up our minds on what to eat- this has been the place. The food here is decent. They had a good variety. I really liked their grilled meat! Cannot go wrong with that. They were really neat, and were very nice. Our waitress was very amicable, funny, and quick on her feet. She did not miss a beat and checked on us the entire time. She did the same with all her tables assigned to her. We're all impressed! I really enjoyed todays ambiance there. It was not overcrowded. read more

Hot food was cold. Brownies were dried out. They don't have trays any more. The only good things my friend & I had were the fried chicken (it was warm, not hot) and Carrot cake & cherry pie. Won't be going back. Used to be a good place to go to. read more

Go to lunch, the food is fresher and hotter!!! For the price is a great deal. I'm diabetic and in low carb diet and found plenty of protein with salad bar. Went to dinner, several items were barely warm or cold. for the higher price not worthy it. Please keep items out of temperature danger zone. read more

the food was pretty good not bad honestly, the fried chicken was pretty delicious! the only downside was that the plates i feel could be much much better in terms of cleaning, they should be scrubbed read more

My wife was scheduled to work on Thanksgiving Day so we made no plans. That morning she learned she had the day off, too late to thaw out a turkey. So we invited our daughter and her four little boys to join us at Golden Corral in Avondale. Of course, there was a line out the door when we arrived around 2:30, but that was expected. It moved steadily and I don't think it was more than 20 minutes before we were seated at a good-sized table. The staff were friendly and efficient and didn't seem to mind working the holiday. The food was delicious, and I was impressed considering the high volume of customers they were serving. The turkey was roasted perfectly, and everything we had was excellent. Our cost for 7 of us was about $155, for us all to eat our fill, try different desserts, have our beverages refilled every time they got low (and without having to flag anyone down to do it), and best of all, no dishes to clean up afterwards! It's not the same as having the whole family together at our house for Thanksgiving Dinner, but it was still very nice and we appreciate Golden Corral for it. read more

Good variety of food. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Nice and calm environment.

I'm NOT a buffet fan primarily because I don't eat that much of a variety and quantity of food at one meal. In addition, since the pandemic I'm MORE mindful of cleanliness and hesitant with many hands on the serving utensils. This visit was to celebrate my cousin's daughter's birthday so I went to support them. Before the day, I was planning what I would eat and pretty much stuck to it. No pics but I had some broccoli salad (served cold), 1 baked chicken drumstick, 3 fresh, delicious fried chicken drumsticks that came out while I was at the buffet line contemplating what I what going to put on my place. Of course, I used a napkin to hold the serving tongs/spoons. :-) Both the server who brought the drinks for my 3 other family members, Jesus who was getting ready to get off, and Martina who cleared our plates, were excellent. I always bring bottled water with me. The 3 stars is because my daughter went to the restroom and couldn't use it because it was HORRIBLE!!! The restaurant was not that crowded when we were there a Saturday ago so there's no reason it should've been in poor condition. I'd would say it's fine for those who like buffets. The cashier was also polite when we arrived. read more

Food was not good at all, our soda's were flat and when I told the waitress, it took 20 minutes to be replaced. The steak guy was hella rude to me and my son, and to top it off a lady showed up with a dog. Not a service dog but a small dog. Who she fed on the floor and even had a cup of water. The staff gave two F@cks. read more

Great food, great service, very clean, customer service is good and the ambiance is great.

Well there is NOTHING Golden about this place. Many Years ago this place was a location that took pride in its food. Not anymore! 2 years ago quality and cleanliness was becoming a BIG issue. So Golden Corral has been closed for approximately a year. It re-opened 4-6 weeks ago. Should have been cleaned up Right.. WRONG. How the health dept cleared this location is beyond words. You would almost think this location ran the dishes threw a dishwasher and said let's open.. we still have food we can cook from last year. Dirt, food, boogers, gum, dust, you name it and you will find it on your table, door handles etc. Air vents are dirty, floor in kitchen area is nasty! That's not black grout FYI! And since we are talking about kitchen let's talk about kitchen staff.. it was like looking at a prison movie. If they were in Orange jump suits it would make you feel incarcerated.. Food- so after inmate cut me a piece of steak! Lol. It was about 4 forks worth 1.5 OZ at best. It was 90% fat. I was like are you flipping serious. The Baked Beans were obviously WAY past the legal hold time. Mash potatoes and gravy tasted like they went to KFC cause they ran out. The desert was ok. It helped get the crap taste of the dinner out of my mouth. We got all this for Two.... $50.00!!!!! Now think about all the places that are better for that price or less! Then take your hard earned monies and spend it there! There are only a few places I will never eat at again. Funny how 3 are with in 2 miles of each other. GOLDEN CORROL, Black Bear Diner and The Black Angus! read more

The only reason it gets one star is because it's the minimum. I love Golden Corral but this is the worst one I've been to. As soon as I walked in all I can see is dirty tables every where I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it's Father's Day but it's dead tables have been sitting there with plates and cups for about an hour. We've been sitting for 20 min and the waiter hasn't even acknowledged us and to top it of the food was cold to the touch. I won't be coming back And to top it off they cleared our table while we were eating read more

I honestly did not want to write a review about this place because it is a place my kids like for one reason and one reason only. Can you guess why???? THEIR SELF HELP DESSERT BUFFET. My kids always ask to go there because they will literally get one plate for their meal with only two items. My son will probably will just have one slice of pizza if I let him, and then its off to the races. We don't go often, so when we do agree to take them there, my husband and I must be in none parenting moment ( don't worry it is not often). But if we both had a long day and nowhere near the house then the decision might be made two against two. Explanation: There are four people in my family, us two parents and my daughter and son. Therefore, every time we have no time and there are no previous plans ahead of time for a huge family outing, we all take turns picking where we want to eat. Which is how we end up here more often than we would like. If it is either of the kids turn to pick, than my husband and I are obviously done for! LOL!!! Nonetheless, we take the kids, they are happy with their decisions. Unfortunately, for my husband and I, we are left with very greasy food. Bland, flavorless items. Not that I am expecting a FIVE star dinning experience, but it is just not for me. It just seems like they are always running behind on replenishing, or cleaning a table or floors or bathrooms or food counters....too much to go on. Still, I had to review. I will not give it one star because, like I mentioned before, the kids do love the sugar filled dessert buffet. And honestly, what kid wouldn't. I have no pictures, as I wanted to get out of there and get home to take some peptobismol. Sadly, every time...TMI! read more

You know sometimes people just make you have a better day, and bring your faith back to humanity. There is a server there his name is Nick. He was so incredibly kind, funny and efficient to all of the customers that I could see him have interaction with. He was incredibly efficient, meeting customers needs before they could ask. Great employee in Nick. Also in case you don't know the pot roast is to die for! Will definitely be back. read more

Barf! The place was old and dingy looking. Food was burnt, several stations! Chicken tasted like old grease. Nothing was cooked well. Shameful. It shouldn't be like this! No desserts to choose from either. Shockingly sad, because we enjoy GC in other states. Will NEVER be back! read more

Visiting from New Mexico. The dude that's suppose to be grilling steaks is currently in the back doing his other tasks. Asked for a medium well and well done steak he said he'd be right back after getting fresh meat. Never saw him again or got a steak. Cornbread and Mac n cheese were cold. Food wasn't good but service was. Our server was named Max. read more

Hadn't been to Golden Coral for 3 years since Covid. As a family of 4 we decided to go there again today. $92.00. Very bland and poor quality food overall. The steak section was handing out very nasty tasting steaks that were not edible. They should be ashamed for selling that to the public. It was only at about 30% of full capacity. Now I see why. I will never spend my money there again. If you decide to go, bring your barf bag. read more

Came here a few times with coworkers for lunch, and it's not a bad place. Not a big fan of buffet food but I'll eat it. Only live once and we live to eat. The place is always packed, and the cleanliness of the place is not very good probably due to all the people out and about and all around. If you need to do a two, you better off doing it at the tree outside, I wouldn't sit on the toilet here if I were you, might catch something.. Some of the clean plates still had food stuck to them... The workers are very friendly and attentive, they would always come and see how we are doing and see if we need more coffee or soda or water. Very friendly and professional staff they have. The food, they have a huge variety of foods! Their meatloaf pretty good! Love the ketchup on it, honey ham was fresh out of the oven when I got my slice and it was juicy and tasty. The steak a little tough for my taste, they had potatoes of many kinds. Many types of vegetables, from corn to green beans, carrots and lettuce and Brussels sprouts. The bun and the apple pie thing was awesome. Chocolate fountain thing for strawberries very cool indeed. They have both soft serve ice cream, and the kind you scoop out of buckets, for that you need to ask a worker to do for you. Wise, I would go over board if I did it on my own, and too much ice cream can be a bad thing for me. Overall a good place to hang out and stuff yourself. I'm not a fan of buffets but this place will serve its purpose if you want to try a variety of foods for a single price. You definitely get what you pay for here, good value. read more

It was without a doubt the worst lunch experience of my life. I had never stepped foot in this establishment before, and now I understand precisely why. I wish I could give it a negative one-star review. Every aspect was abysmal--the atmosphere, the service, and the so-called 'quality' of the food, if you can even call it that. To make matters worse, the server was audaciously whistling as they casually strolled between tables, a behavior that is simply unacceptable. read more

Visited this establishment today for a late lunch. Disappointed to find no table all clean tables were covered with a pile of dishes waiting to make it's way to be washed. Food quality was terrible, no one working the grill, employees unhappy, and restrooms dirty. No one cleaning tables or worried about seating issues. This location today was on auto pilot. Last visited every time is just getting worse . read more

I stopped going here a few years ago because it smelled like a sewer near the bathroom. I guess they finally fixed the problem. Went for breakfast on a Saturday and everything was delish. It was pretty crowded and the station kept running out of things but there still was plenty more to choose from. The Menudo soup was so yummy!!! read more

Went in for lunch food was good and fresh but potatoes in roast beef tasted old and rancid.

We came for breakfast brunch and seen how dirty and how empty the food was and no seating available so we tryed to get a refund but wasn't able to. Had some egg pizza and chicken probably won't be going again.. read more
