Unfortunately I when to brunch here today.My server did a great job and was very friendly. The food was decent but the establishment was filthy. My table has many visible stains as well as the floors. The worst part was the ice cream machine dad over a dozen flies on it and no out of service note. There was melting ice cream and a child could have attempted to use that,maggots will also form where there are many flies. Corporate needs to take a look at this location and the Health Department.

So so

Ok so we all know what we're expecting here so I can't fault them any less. The quality does seem to have gone down continuously. Worst part is that it was waaay too cold inside. Maybe 50 degrees. My kids had to keep warming their hands and couldn't take off their coats which is inexcusable.

Tacos made to order (juicy pork tacos with cheese)
Connie H.

Four star experience every time we come here on a Saturday or Sunday. They have made to order tacos below the huge "fiesta" sign. Really good, juicy meat tacos with a whole variety of ingredients to put with it. Today we got some carnitas and another diff kind of pork (there was also an option of beef, chorizo, and chicken). They grill the tortillas with cheese, add on the juicy meat, and I've topped mine with cilantro, onions, tomatoes, and some grilled peppers. For the tacos itself, I'd have to probably give it five stars. Tortilla and melted cheese are crispy, meat is soft and super juicy. I'd have to admit these tacos were better than a good amount of taco places I've been to. Together with the restaurant as a whole, I'll have to average it out to four stars total. I haven't found other food here I'm dying to eat again. Quality of the tacos are way higher than the rest of the food here. Id definitely recommend coming on a weekend. (We came at night, not sure if they have these for lunch). One huge plus is that all my kids end up finding something they want to eat here and it's a plus that they get to get dessert here too.

I frequently order delivery of several family sized mashed potatoes and gravy. Depending who is in the kitchen I get a side dish with gravy or someone decides to just drop a tea spoon of gravy on top of the large container. Totally insufficient.

I wanted a day off from cooking and my husband was always a big fan of Golden Corral so I suggested we go. It's been probably a decade since we've been. I didn't like going because I couldn't justify the price based on what I would eat even though my husband would pile on. After I made the suggestion the lightbulb went on, CHECK YELP REVIEWS! Yikes... not very positive but most very old, so I checked Google reviews and read newer reviews and felt better. We arrived around 4p. My husband and I do this, not just because we're old but we also beat the dinner rush. Boy did we!! $75 for a family of four seemed expensive to start. The food available is a lot different from what I remember. The presentation of the food was very nice. Nothing looked like it had been left sitting out for long. All of us made three trips to the buffet for main course items. I had bourbon chicken, pulled pork, and a fresh (nice!) dinner roll. For dessert I had chocolate cake, chocolate / yellow cake, and a red velvet cupcake. My husband got tacos and pot roast and so much more. A lot of desserts! My granddaughter had nachos, cheesy broccoli, fried rice, fried chicken... that's all I remember. Then ALOT of desserts as well. First thing when we sat down my grandson spilled his drink. I found our server Carly and she was AMAZING! I'm happy I tipped her ahead of time, when we got up to leave the place was packed and she was nowhere in sight. Golden Corral is back in my restaurant rotation. The pictures I'm posting are while we were eating. I always forget to take pictures. ENJOY!

This is what you get to choose from.

I went and it was very gross! There were a lot of people and the food was touched quite a lot. It was enjoyable because they had a lot of food but none was very good. The scenery was not very great because it was loud and uncomfortable. On the way home I felt very sick and peckish. Overall I don't recommend

Fried Chicken

Theres barely any good food, there chicken honestly makes me feel nauseous. They don't give good service at all, in general this place is very packed so ambiance is not good, there chairs are very poorly. The dishes are dirty too and take long to add new ones, they also smell bad and make your head hurt. Overall do not go to this place.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. Complete rip-off. Dirty. Terrible food. Even fresh food was coming out cold.

The food is still delicious! I always get breakfast and this time I ordered the Grandma plate, which was awesome. You can see my pictures below. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because our server was unusually sassy and we could tell she was using a passive aggressive tone to share her displeasure of us asking questions. We still tipped, but not our usual. The kids all bought toys from the store and we left with great memories! The vibe is comfortable and we will be back. It's the closest one to our house... 45 min away.

First, I don't know how many times we circled around to find the entrance until we realized we have to go through the gift shop to get in. Second, the menu was very limited. There wasn't really anything appetizing but since we're already there, we just ordered whatever from the menu. We got two steak entrees, a fish and fries, another item I can't remember. Yeah that's how bad the experience was. As expected, nobody enjoyed it. No one finished any of the entrees. There's no condiments available in the tables. I wanted catsup for my friends but we didn't know where the server was. There was only one other customer in the restaurant so it wasn't busy at all. We spent over $100 here for a meal we didn't enjoy. Never again.....

There's graffiti on the walls and staff members are dressed extremely casually but the food does not lie. Our server was very attentive the whole night and they had a fire playlist that consisted of a lot of drake and partynextdoor. We started off by ordering the fried calamari and the Asiago garlic wings and omg it was so unbelievably good. The fry was light and crispy and the wings were absolutely delicious. Both were around $11 each. In our seafood boil we both got a half pound of snow crabs and shrimp and some fillers like corn and potatoes. I got around 1 lb altogether and my bf got around 1 1/2 lb and we were both stuffed by the end of the night. Sadly they were out of crawfish but I am excited for crawfish season. Total bill ended up around $160 with tip which is pricey and next time we would order just the wings and cut down on the sausage potatoes and other add ons. Highly recommend this place and will be coming back once I get my money up.

I like a boil where you can taste all the spices and ingredients. This boil had a sweet taste to it which I've never had anywhere, and I did not appreciate it. No specials/combos to pick from, you had to make your own combos and also didn't list prices... also, 1.25 for one piece of corn??? lol all jokes aside, the food was pretty mid, the sweetness to the "xxx" spice level was really disappointing and overall very pricey for what you actually get. I'd find another place. Love

The chicken was delicious and the pancakes were out of this world. Similar to some of the other comments, it would be nice to first come in, sit down, get relax then have someone take your order when dining in. However you place your order at the front door and then can sit down. The customer service lacked tremendously from the youthful stuff(late teens/very early 20's) But I will say the most underwhelming thing about this experience was the building. Inside & out it was very primitive & just flat out old. I know they just moved from another location and looking to get their foot in the door. But hopefully a renovation is in the plans. The inside is a bit of an eye soar. Needless to say, I would come back if in the area because of the food. But I wouldn't go out of my way patronize them.

Visited Southern Cafe (SC) for Father's Day. Understood it would be a longer than average wait but…read moregiven our previous positive experience, thought it would be worth it. When we arrived, there was no one else waiting and I'd guess that only 75% of the tables had customers. Couldn't have been more wrong in our decision as we waited for over an hour post ordering before we actually received our meal. This is the longest we have waited for breakfast... EVER. Anyone with kids knows having kids sit still and wait with minimal sources of entertainment is hard enough, then add hunger to the equation and it's a recipe for disaster. What could have made our experience better? 1 - Be transparent about your delays upfront -- Empower your diners to make a decision around whether they'd want to wait or not given how busy you are. Don't continue to seat customers when your kitchen is severely behind and hope diners don't notice. 2 - A small gesture goes a long way -- It would have been nice for SC to offer a couple of biscuits given the excessive wait. 3 - Don't add insult to injury... by bringing butter and ketchup 30+ minutes before the meal arrives. It added to the frustration that even my 7yo remarked "what are we going to do with butter, we have no food". They offered more water even when all our water cups were clearly full. Don't really understand how more water would make us less hungry? Looking at another recent 1-star review, I can see the same pattern as our experience. This restaurant clearly doesn't fail gracefully on busy days... and they don't seem to care either. At the conclusion of our meal, we didn't even get the typical "how was your meal" question from anyone. I guess they already knew.

We walked back out and found the door to the restaurant. Staff is warm and friendly and we were seated quickly. Our server was Robert and he was great! He gave his recommendations for which sides would go best with our meals and I felt they were spot on. They give complimentary bread and butter. It was warm and delicious. Hubby ordered the rib tips with fries, baked beans, and had the hot and mild barbecue sauce on the side. I ordered the 1/2 dark smoked chicken dinner with mac-n-cheese, spicy Cajun green beans, and spicy honey garlic barbecue sauce. I agree with Robert, that the sauce pairs very well with the chicken. The tips were tender and falling off the bone. He didn't care for the fries and loved the baked beans, even though they were a bit too spicy for him. My chicken was also very tender and I enjoyed the smokiness. The green beans had the right amount of spice although they were not as spicy as the baked beans. The mac-n-cheese was creamy. We were too full to order dessert. Maybe next time. This is a great neighborhood staple and will definitely be back.

The lighting and décor felt festive without being overwhelming, and the space itself is huge. There's plenty of room whether you're dining with family, catching a game with friends, or just unwinding with drinks after a long day. Speaking of drinks, they're very reasonably priced--definitely worth opening a tab and relaxing for a while. For food, I tried Chuck's Wings with roasted vegetables and Cajun fries. Nothing is ever truly perfect, but these wings came close. The sauce was spot-on--easily some of the best I've had. The vegetables were cooked just right and packed with flavor, and the Cajun fries tied everything together perfectly. Overall, this spot delivers on both atmosphere and quality. Definitely worth checking out.
