    Salad

    My wife and I came on a Wednesday, 7pm. And I won't lie. I'm a person who..if they don't have good reviews.. I don't bother. BUT BOY WAS I SURPRISED. First off. I just moved here from out of state. And let's just say the ones where I'm from.. are.. not worth mentioning. But this location blew. Me. Out. The water. My food was FRESH AND HOT. Tasty. And I don't know what anyone is talking about. If you want all the things and can't make up your mind? Go. It's worth it.

    This place is Rachel! And if you didn't know, I don't like Rachel. I did not enjoy this place. The food on the floor on the table everywhere but my mouth. Because it was not tasty. Oh but my waiter was a lovely man he was quick with it so go waiter. But I do not recommend unless they make some serious food changes.

    The ambiance is pretty comfortable. I love buffets!! My server is on her toes. Making sure myself, as well as everyone around me, is well taken care of. The food is awesome! There are so many selections to choose from. I was hungry for a meat and 3 but found this place instead. I definitely will be back. I gave 4 stars because I didn't know it had servers, and I don't carry cash (for a tip). I am so pleasantly stuffed. I'm glad I found this gem.

    We went here and had already each eaten a plate, when we noticed the waitress was cleaning tables then coming back to the clean dishes and laying the towel up against them, She then put those dishes on an empty table she just bussed then did it again with a different set of dishes (same towel) we were so grossed out. She also must have picked up silverware that was in a bag on a table she bussed and passed it back out because my fork in the bag was newly used when I pulled it out with fresh food and someone else's saliva all over it she actually gagged. The waitress was inattentive never refilled/brought new drinks until we were leaving and then gave us water when we had sprite, As we were leaving she went to the bathroom and that was so disgusting. I am not even sure how they are passing the heath test . The trash can beside the toilet was so dirty she just held it and went to a gas station.

    Ham and Mac and cheese
    Rachael P.

    Went to Golden Corral for Labor Day lunch. Food was as you would expect. Lots of variety with everything tasting pretty consistently mediocre. The things that were very good was the wings and ham. Vegetables and Mac and cheese look and taste like they're straight out of the can with no seasoning, but once again, that is to be expected when you go to Golden Corral. The people working were very efficient in bussing tables and filling up drinks. The restaurant was filled with people and the food stations were not the cleanest. Overall, if you're going to Golden Corral, you typically have a general idea of what you're getting into: mediocre food but all you can eat!

    Leda. THE BEST WAITRESS EVER!
    Donovan B.

    PLEASE READ THIS!!!! Meet my friend Leda. She's 64 and been my waitress for 30+ years.Can't believe they have not one person bussing the tables besides the waitress. Unacceptable. Can someone explain why? Bring back the plate buggys at least.

    Early Sunday morning breakfast buffet. I've been to this location many times over the years. It was my grandmother's favorite place to eat. I haven't been in sometime since her passing. It's mediocre food; a buffet. Made to order eggs or omelettes with you're voice of toppings. Coffee (gross and burned) and juice included in buffet price. The cleanliness of this place is something to be desired. The waitress walked around with a dirty rag balled up in her hand as she had my coffee in the same hand. It's a good thing my immunity it built up. I definitely caught Covid from that She never once came back to refill coffee or water. I ended up going and getting some of the self serve juice so I could have something else to drink.

    the pulled pork literally made my brother cry. the taste of the pork was like a wet napkin. service was great, our server was attentive! clean tables, just people that stare whenever they walk by you.

    Deliciousness!!!

He compared it to Houston's. Take that how you will. Server was nice but not very attentive. She had this tunnel vision thing going on. I needed her two or three times, even raising my hand for her attention, but she just looked away or was looking at the floor. Inside is a bit dated, but serves the place well. Nothing bad, just older looking and kind of drab. We had beers for appetizers. My buddy had the seared Ahi Tuna dish. He complained it was overcooked. I agree it was cooked more than it should have been. Colorful though.... I had the Steak Frites. Man.... That was disappointing. I feel duped. Normally this dish is like a nice hangar steak with fresh cut fries and a fresh chimichuri sauce. What I got were overcooked steak nuggets, with cold, frozen out of a bag fries, and a glob of C sauce out of a bucket it seemed. I'll likely be drug back here by my friend. He likes it. I'll be nice and smile. *Note they charge you an extra 2% to cover the lack of appropriate wages in the kitchen. '26 - 83

Their specialty is craft beer and pizza, and they I typically go for both of those when here. On a recent visit for a quick dinner, I wanted something a bit lighter because I had to go play bowling after and tried a menu item that's always intrigued me: the blueberry chicken sandwich on their house made panuozzo bread. I expected this would be like a chicken salad but the waitress said it came hot and melty, and I was in the mood for a risk. And man did the risk pay off, this sandwich was one of my favorite things I've eaten all month! It comes hot and melty with a house made pesto, blueberry compote, fontina, and thin pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked. The panuozzo bread is almost as if you made naan out of pizza dough, and it keeps everything nicely contained without making the sandwich too bready. The flavors are unexpected but work so, SO well together - truly a work of genius. I paired it with their shake shake fries, which have an awesome seasoning (not spicy, just adds flavor) and a Diet Coke. Service was so kind and helpful, even on a busy Wednesday night. I was able to get in and out within 40 minutes, which was a win for the time crunch I was in but I still felt relaxed to eat my sandwich at my leisure. I love it the level of consistency in quality and service here after so many years - I truly always know I'm guaranteed to have a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere with helpful servers every time I come. Nice dedicated parking lot in back is just an added bonus to the overall experience here!

My ceasar salad was good, but there were large chucks of the bottom of the romaine in the salad. Again, nothing to complain about, but just lacked the extra that it would take to get 4 or 5 stars. The ranch is very very good though. I will give credit there.

Almost a month later and I'm still dreaming about the food! My husband and I shared the platter where you choose 3 proteins and 2 sides.

We also ordered the pulled chicken and pulled pork, which we also loved. And of course we couldn't leave without trying their banana pudding.

They also got rid of the ghost pepper bbq sauce. Still mad about it. It was my favorite sauce. The Nashville sauce is great. Very good. But damn do I miss that ghost sauce. I bought up every bottle they had left when I found out they weren't making it anymore. I've used it sparingly but I'm on the last bottle. Also, if u order for pickup, they randomly run out of stuff & don't tell you. I'll place & order online & when I get there find out they're out of something. Which is a bummer when you are ordering in bulk for several people. All in all though, still my favorite bbq when I don't want to take the time to do it myself. Definitely recommend it. Just miss some of the old stuff & wish there was better communication or updates online when things are out of stock.
