Amelia was a good server. Food was lackluster. The meatloaf is the best tho. Nina at the drink station was absolutely rude. A kid coughed on my ice cream which I'm not happy about since the Coronavirus is going around but whatever. read more

If you like canned food and boxed food, then this place is for you. Nasty, just nasty. My entire family walked away with a stomach virus. Will not be back EVER!!! read more

The entrees are nice. I love their turnips greens and carrots Vichy. Excellent choice for an outing with family and friends. Especially if there is someone close that has a birthday celebration in mind. read more

Me and my family went in around 8pm the lady making drinks was not listening very well and apparently didn't wanna be there , me n my husband went to pay and my mom and dad was behind me well the one girl who was at the register said "I don't care we closing at 9 I'll make them leave " she had a nasty ass attitude from the beginning. Well she apparently told my mom and dad to come over there and pay, my mom didn't hear her so my mom continued to check out with the person she was originally at. Well this lady just snaps and starts yelling at my mom so of course my mom yells back I guess she thought my mom wasn't gonna say nothing back ‍ but I told the manager and I don't think he really did anything so I will be contacting corporate!! Macon is already nasty and horrible I honestly don't even know why we went there ‍ everything was just horrible. Home girl needs to go back home n wake up on the right side of the bed and try again tomorrow ‍‍ It was all just a bad environment, no one acted like they wanted to be at WORK. WE SURE AS HELL WONT BE GOING BACK !! read more

This experience was the worse I have ever had at the Golden Corral. The food was flavorless. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING I ate except the fruit had flavor. I was highly disappointed. I read other reviews on Swarm and they were positive so I was excited to stop here on my way to Orlando. However, this was a stop I wish would had never taken place. Please be prepared to utilize your salt, pepper, and any sauce you can find. read more

I had a great experience with the server Sarah she's great and very attentive... However I did have a problem with her manager Bill... He was very rude to Sarah in front guest... He made us along with others feel very uncomfortable... It's never about what you say but how you say it... It took everything in me to not get snappy with him... He need etiquette training and also need to wear his pants on ass... He is wayyyyyy too old to be sagging his britches... Also treating ppl poorly... read more

I was initially terrified to come here based on the many poor reviews. However, I've had a hankering for some old fashioned American style buffet food for a while so said a prayer and took a chance. (I also wanted to pass on this joyful experience to my little one since it was always a great time for me when I was growing up. Endless food and no "Nos" in sight! Well the food, staff and service was impeccable. If I had to gripe I could say there was a bit of a wait coming in because there was only one cashier at the register. Honestly it wasn't a big deal at all because it was well worth the wait. We tried a plethora of food and EVERYTHING we tried was on point- fresh AND flavorful. My little one said she ate beautiful(ly) and even now proceeds to sing in the back seat, lol. I'd say this place has truly redeemed itself. Keep up the amazing work please! Impressed, happy and stuffed just as one should be after dining out. We'll def be back. read more

See all

We went close to closing so the selection was limited but still a good variety., The lady kept our table clean and was very friendly. She checked the table enough. Great experience. read more

Horrible restaurant and the absolute worst Golden Corral I've ever been to. We stopped on a trip from north Ga to South Ga and decided to eat here. My kids love the buffet and options that Golden Corral offers but this was not a pleasant trip. First we sat down in a room because they were packed and nowhere to sit unless you wanted to be on top on another family. Nobody stopped us and after we got our plates, we were instructed to find somewhere else to eat. They first tried seating us next to the waitress area and it smelled like sour sewage and I refused and finally found a table that was again on top of another family eating. Next the food was not good at all. The chicken dumplings had square cubes of so called chicken and was not good at all. In the end we ate less than what we paid for because of how nasty it was. As we left, we tried to go to the bathroom and we were told they were closed and find somewhere else to go. In the end, this place will not receive my business again and the Golden Corral franchise should shut this place down. read more

The Golden corral in Macon on Presidential parkway is not honoring veterans day with a free meal this year. I was told they are not doing the free meal card. 11 Nov 2020 read more

Worst place in Macon, not because of the food, but the service and management ( Joke) I went in, paid and went to get something to eat, no bowls for the soup. The guy working said "we have plates over by the desert table. I really cant see myself eating soup from a plate, so I asked again, can I get a bowl, answer was "well they were here a little while ago. So i decided to just get a refund and go somewhere else. Here's where the fun starts, someone that #1 never said to me high, i'm the manager how can I help you ? but said the bowls are over there" I said they were not whaen I wanted them and was told.... she walked over to the soup counter, grabbed the basket and started yelling at me "Here they are right here" 2-3 times yelling at me in front of a bunch of customers try to come in. I said just give me my money back and the yelling started again and I said why are you yelling at me in front of all these people? Just give me my money back. So needless to say after 3-4 years of not going to this place, I will never and I repeat NEVER go there. I know I don't matter to them but in this town, I am very well-known, and I will spread the bad words like the wind. Money is too hard to come by these days and when someone CHOOSES to spend it with you, at least hire and TRAIN these people how to do their job and teach them respect for the ones that are paying they're checks. Go there at your own risk.You have been warned. read more

We dined at Golden Corral this evening. The food was ok. For some reason they were out of broccoli the whole time with no more in sight for the remainder of the evening. Just an FYI, they ARE NOT SOCIAL DISTANCING! A HUGE CONCERN DUE TO THE PANDEMIC WE'RE STILL IN!!! We didn't even get refills on our drinks when they were empty. They just ignored us. I'm a bit gobsmacked at how much they did not care. The forks were halfway clean, had to get a new set, and luckily we had Clorox wipes on hand to wipe them down. We also had to wipe down the table since it was BEYOND STICKY from tea and soda residue that had been left there for god knows how long! Also! The air filtration within the building was so dusty and in need of a change of filter or at least a window open, that my child was sneezing constantly! Overall, it was one of THE WORST experiences we've had at a Golden Corral. Save your time and money. If you're going to go, try the afternoon cause evening dinner service is TRASH read more

Hey, there is a generous variety to choose from. If some food is bland, as some reviewers say, there are many other choices (and, there is salt/pepper at your table you can use). I have never left disappointed. read more

The food was fresh and seasoned well. You come here for a wide variety and as I travel a lit I come for veggies and ate 10 different ones and all were good. It is not fancy and most show wear and mess of tons of diners who aren't fastidious in cleanliness but this location was fine as ling as you understand who Golden Corral caters to as a client. read more

Usually not a fan of buffets and try to avoid them at all costs because of the messy feel they give off. I'll keep the review short and simple for those needing a place. The food is spotty, some of it is really good and others are lacking on the taste scale. This isn't a place for some date but as a family on vacation it's perfect. For me and a friend it was 32 dollars with access to all they had to offer. I would eat again but it is more a family gathering place. read more

Food was average and it was obvious that the restaurant is not prepared for large crowds. Food kept running out and people had to wait and a little chaotic. Oh... and Fred (the meat / steak cutter)...try nicer to the customers you are serving. Be grateful that you have a job and leave your attitude at home read more

Went here 05/20/18.Not!!! A good place had these chicken dried over cooked bbq,at lunch time. Salald bar is best thing. But I seen better. They tea you to death but that's the South.baked chicken was okay.Fried okra good. Fish was to thin had to hot sauce it to death. Folks say catfish at dinner after 4pm is good.I won't find out I'm moving to Macon soon golden corral is dead in mind. Blow it up start over. read more

Place was great... Great food selections... food was hot day we went there husband and I had four school buses show up with varsity teams show up for wrestling never short of food they kept the place going with very appetizing food and food was definitely hot and will come back again read more

Food is decent, I find myself getting some of the same things each time. I do love their hot wings, very good. The service is decent, but sometimes it seems as if the staff don't want to do their job. The thing that bothers me is the customers here, some are friggan rude. They stand in your way when you are trying to get a serving of food, like move bitch. lol. They don't know what excuse me even means. I have even caught people staring as I ate my food, like, go find a life please. You have food on your plate go eat that. read more

I usually go to the Golden Corral in Jacksonville, FL but my family was travelling through Georgia and we stopped at the Golden Corral in Macon #2554. Our server was Minerva and she was very friendly and attentive. We would come back here again if we are in the area. read more

I mean,hey,its golden corral. This location is clean,hospitable and in a good location. Now here is where it makesa difference, the servers!!!! In my area named jazz, chris, and kendra always kept my table clean brought me fresh silverware and my drinks were always full. read more

Americas best value buffet sacrifices a lot quality for the cheapness. The decor is mostly filled with lots of golden yellow and a unvibrant red. When we got there there was 5 SCHOOLS eating at this buffet already. When we were seated we were given these little silverware packets and mine did not have a spoon. The place is separated into main sections The wok- Asian food The pizzeria- pizza (obviously) Salad bar - salad Comfort food- where foods like their fried chicken and popcorn shrimp are Breakfast food- where breakfast food is They had a some other sections that I don't remember the names of As I told you, there was 5 schools eating here tonight so you can imagine all the uncleanliness, cotton candy and other food on the ground, some of the food was "mixed with others," and the chocolate from the chocolate fountain was in other places it shouldn't be. The food is on the lower end of mediocre and the quality of the food was bad too. The service was decent, but I think that they were a bit short staffed that night. We had 3 people for our room which I think is a good ratio. There have definitely been better golden corrals in other areas. I don't recommend going here. read more

Good food a a lot of choices even steak at times. Reasonable prices. Either everyday food or specialties!

Twice a year I come home and visit the beautiful state of Georgia, and this is one of my usual stops. Compare to the California version the food at this Golden Corral is much more flavorful and is really enjoyable. This will continue being one of the places on my list when I visit my home town. read more

The food was good. Wide variety. I went the day before Thanksgiving so no chaos. The server did make my partner and I feel uncomfortable. Sorta felt like we were rushed. Other than that no complaints. read more

The place smelled like crap. The food sucked and the place was very dirty.

Facility was clean floor staff was on point however many of the items have set to long making them hard and very nastey, beware there sesame chicken it was more of a burnt husk then actual food. I'm sure it would have been good had it not set for so long . Beef courses were freshly cut and tasted good but that sadly is all I can say read more

I'm not a fan of chain restaurants. Never eat at them at home and when we travel we use AAA to find mom and pop places away from the interstate. Several years ago my husband and I selected a BBQ joint in Macon but then he admitted he didn't want BBQ. We were near this Golden Corral, tired and hungry so I reluctantly agreed to eat there. Now, every time we travel from Florida to anywhere North, we route ourselves through Macon at dinner time. Their buffet is really, very, very good. The selection is wide and varied, from catfish and fried okra to pot roast and vegetables, Salisbury steak, even an Italian station and Taco station. Their fried chicken is so good along with sweet potatoes, green beans, collard greens. And their salad bar is very fresh. They are always busy so the food is refreshed often. Desserts are varied (banana pudding, cobbler, pastries, cakes, pies, ice cream with tons of toppings for the kids and a chocolate fountain) but I would have to offer only 2 or 3 stars for quality in this department. Hospitality is typically Southern and warm. Sometimes the cashier has seemed rather 'efficient' on a Sunday, but she is good at processing the diners as they come through the line. Staff tending the tables and the fresh cooked meat station are always friendly. The dining room in spacious and we always find a table and don't feel rushed. We have eaten here about 7 or 8 times now over the last several years and have never once been disappointed. I don't understand the negative reviews other than to say I guess you can find things to complain about anywhere, but if you are looking for a reasonable buffet with a wide variety of freshly prepared foods you will be happy with this choice. read more

Not good. Smells like something awful when you walk in the door. Even the servers think it smells. At least the lettuce on the salad bar looked fresh. That's about the only good thing I can say about it... read more

Wow, I have to say if you haven't been to the Golden Corral on Presidential PKWY in Macon Georgia, you have to go there. My wife and I went on Thanksgiving Day and had the time of our lives. When we first entered the building, we were immediately greeted regardless of how busy it was.The waitress was on top of her job. She kept our glass filled with tea. Not to mention the food bar was delicious. You have to try the meatloaf and mash potatoes. It was almost like your mom or grandmother had made it. I had a very good time that day. I see Golden Corral being around a long time. So if you haven't tried them, please check them out. read more

my family and i visted the macon location on presidential parkway today, we had a party of 7 not including 6 kids.when it was time to order drinks without looking i immediately said i wanted strawberry soda because that's usually what i get needless to say the woman taking drink orders said so you see strawberry up here i said sorry i'll take root beer.fast foward to us being seated the waitress walked by is look and said well damn somebody must have lied and said we were giving out free food today.as the waitress was introducing her self she saw another employee walked by the waitress said "damn she done lost so much weight she look like a fuckin scarecrow(remind you i had kids aging from 2yrs-5yrs old) and burst out laughing.after we ate dinner my sister and i went to get the kid's desserts while noticing a cotton candy machime we stood in line to be served so we explained how many kids we had bit the server was so rude and said well it's only one bag per part my so y'all need to share, but we had jux witness her asking another customer how many bags she needed and she had not kids with her. for the amount of money we spent and after leaving almost $40 as a tip we were very dissatisfied with pur service and we don't plan on returning. read more
