I arrived the Golden Corral around 5 o'clock. The first place i hit, what's the salad bar? The salad bar was almost empty. I waited for about one hour and they did not refill the salad bar. I wasn't happy after that I. Ate stop at the videos and it was good. But the only thing is they never refilled the salad. I will not recommend if you love salad. Don't go there. You won't get it read more

Upon arriving I explained to the hostess/cashier that I just had gastric surgery and asked if I could pay by weight like a to go order since I can only eat between 1/4 & 1/2c of food. She shook her head and only charged for our grandsons and my husband. I got my bit of food and went back to have it weighed, she didn't say anything to me and went and got the manager. He came over and I tried to explain what I had told her and was wanting to do. He was incredibly obstinate and told me things like this needed to be addressed before paying. This should have been dealt with before we even paid for the rest of the family and went on to repeat himself multiple times in front of all the other customers as well! He stated he would make an exception this one time. I tried again to explain what I had told the cashier and he ignored me completely. I told him I wanted to be honest and pay for what I got. Again he was admonishing and repeated what he had already said. After I ate I reached out to him to share that I was reporting this interaction to corporate. He straight up told me I was lying about the whole thing! I told him that if his staff could not understand English it was not my failure and he could address that! I was asked to leave. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! Another person who is in my support group said she lives in Midland and agreed, that manager is read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - American Near Me - Odessa, Texas

My son and I went to Golden Corral on a Sunday. The selection was extensive and everything was delicious. We were thoroughly enjoying our meal until...an unexpected and very unwelcome "guest" crawled up the wall beside our table. We immediately got up to leave, and I told one of the staff members about the cockroach, but he didn't seem too concerned. It's doubtful that we'll ever go back. read more

Connie or Connee I dont know her name but she was the lady who takes the plates away/refills drinks was in our section and she was so polite and attentive. She deserves to be recognized. Thank you (Connie or Connee) we will be back because of you read more

The food was OK. The service was GREAT. I have been to much better Golden Corrals, and I have been to worse. Looking for a sure thing that has tasty food where you can pick and choose? This is the place! read more

Off the bat host didn't speak English had to have someone else translate so we could go sit. Family of 4 $80. Not worth it at all. All the Food look old and dry and gross had to pick though the salad bar to fine anything that looked ok. We ate an soon after started to feel sick. Saw a server long enough for her to give us flatware and straws and never again. Do not go here read more

Right off the bat my extremely fit and handsome husband were hit with the host asking us, "are you two adults or two seniors?" Yeah, I get it, the host was probably not even 18 years old and not trained in the proper way to handle these particular situations. But it was embarrassing. I know we aren't spring chickens, however we certainly don't want to be seen as seniors. Let's move on. I needed a restroom and well before I saw the restroom sign, I smelled the restroom. While it looked clean the smell was horrendous. Gas stations are better kept. The food is not appetizing - at all. The salads looked like they were sitting there for quite some time. We didn't stay long - not even the desserts made us stay. Never again. Not even when we turn into senior citizens. read more

Thanksgiving Day service was excellent. Accommodated a large crowd very efficiently & food was great. Well executed with all hands on deck working hard. Thanks for the positive experience. read more

I will give them a 3 on food considering some stuff was cold or sitting for a while. Service would depend on which server or manager you would be dealing with at that moment. One manager thought it was okay to use a unknown dressing in the ranch/lite ranch container because they were out. Whole restaurant was out, does Odessa not have stores? Needless to say the manager didn't like me handing her an entire plate of salad. Just as I thought things were okish, another manager speaks loudly, "little girl you can't leave with grapes" She stops a little girl for having a small container of grapes. She took them from the little girl & never said a word. Really? Speak to the little girl, parents & have some respect. No need to cause a scene. read more

In a pinch works for large groups. Food is seasoned to please the masses so a bit bland. Service is good.

I love their food. I have tried everything and loved it. Clean and well-managed. They do a great job about getting it ready for takeout. read more

Spent 40.01 for myself and my husband. We only ate one plate as the food was tasting old and the steaks were all over cooked. Our waitress who did not speak any English did the best she could however we couldn't understand her, she couldn't understand us. The manager tried to get the cooks to recook the steak medium rare. However it kept coming back well done. Went for the salad bar for myself and the carrots were black on the ends, cucumbers were cut into huge pieces which made it hard to even cut up. The pot roast was cold, scalloped potatoes were cold, the only thing hot was the buns. I come through here often with family when we are in town. But the food I got today makes it to where we won't be back EVER! I would much rather have a refund. read more

This overpriced bland sustenance screams hospital food every time I try it. Pass from now on.

I can see why this place got a 2 star rate. Absolutely the worst Golden Corral I have ever been to. I go to Golden Corral because I love their fresh salads. No, not at this on read more

Because they had us get kicked out because we did not go through the line and they said that they did not care that we paid and to still go through the line and there name was dylon and Kendra so do not eat here read more

First time at a Golden Corral and not a bad experience at all. We thought the food tasted good and it was a great deal getting unlimited ribs and steaks for $11.99...so can't really complain. The waiters were attentive and working the whole time, no one standing around as far as we could see. My only complaints are the cleanliness of the place: the utensils had left over food on them so we had to sanitize with hot water and the work stations behind the salad bar was dirty with water puddles on the floor. They also ran out of ribs/steaks which pissed off some customers but the manager quickly stepped in to remedy yhe situation. Overall a good experience. I'd come back again.. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - endless ribs and steak for dinner - American Near Me - Odessa, Texas

We ate at Furrs yesterday and I realized how bad it compares to Golden Corral and we haven't tried this one since moving here. Well, here we are. The steak was great. Better than my last visit to a Golden Corral. I love eating here so that was a huge plus. The rolls are my favorite part of visiting here but these were not as soft and fluffy as usual. They were not bad, just not up to their usual high level instead. However, everything was good enough to warrant a repeat visit. The waitress was attentive, the cashier was super friendly and the place was clean. Also, the lady cooking the steaks was great as well I left very full and happy. read more

As previously mentioned place needs an upgrade. Went on a Sunday 9-5-21. Terrible food prep & display, workers don't care, Fire the cooks as they know not what they cook or microwave. Waitresses try but are over whelmed. Poor entry way not handicap friendly as we saw 2 seniors one wheelchair & walker trying to maneuver their makeshift rope entry gauntlet prepared by the cashier. That cashier was worthless. Will definitely advise Odessa Midland patrons to go elsewhere ($+14 per person plus $2.69 drinks is not a bargain for the food quality. read more

The food was very cold, one of the cooks that was getting off of work stole my mothers phone while she was walking out and the manager did not do anything about my mothers stolen phone. Do not go there unless you want ur stuff stolen. read more

Ruben is our favorite server. He is the reason why we visit. This is the first time I saw a manager walking the line and talking with cooks. A good sign, the rest of the night I never saw him again, a bad sign. Friday they make a killing of entrees. Top sirloin, baby back ribs, the best fried chicken, fried shrimp, loved the liver and onions, crispy fried catfish, hush puppy's, clam chowder, pork chops, grilled squash was amazing, diner roles are to die for. My only complaint was the bottled water was warm, but ice in a cup resolved this problem. We visit here for the selection, a great steak (for a Buffett) and knowing ill get great service from Ruben. Thanks guys read more

Meat was going bad u could tell by the way it taste as soon as I put it in my mouth.... the shrimp was old.... and a few rude people surging the food.... I will not be back this was one of my fav places but has definitely gone to crap..... would give it a negative 3 if I could considering I paid $70 for 4 n got shitty unbearable food read more

Walked in got my drink. Cashier noticed me but kept talking to a man. I decided to wait to see how long it will take to pay. 3 solid minutes pass by. A family of 4 walks in and gets drinks. She asked me what was taking so long. I just pointed at the cashier still having a conversation for about 5 minutes now. I placed my drink down and left. The cashier was just being a douche. She made eye contact with me at least twice. She is a white young lady with patches of blue hair. read more

The worst, absolute worst GC I have ever been to and I've visited my share. Waitress never came to my table or anyone else's for that matter. Sweet tea was empty for well over 45 minutes. Rolls were COLD!! Will not be back. read more

By Far the best Golden Corral I've ever been to with a outstanding staff. The breads were warm and my wife is a stickler for bread, so it being warm was a bonus! The waitress always came around to ask for anything we needed and the food was amazing. Clean all the way around too, from parking lot to bathrooms. The food bar was not messy and always stocked. Food was amazing and fresh, we'll definitely be back to this coral!! Thank you guys for caring about your restaurant and it's customers!! read more

This is probably one of the best Golden Corrals I have been to. The food always seems pretty fresh and the staff are really friendly. While Golden Corral is not a 5 restaurant by any means this is definitely one of the better ones. Clean, friendly and fresh! That is all you can ask of a Golden Corral Buffet Grill and this one has all three down pat. read more

Pricey pricey. My goodness. 75.00 for two adults and two kids. Wow. No thank you. You can go to a fine dining restaurant for that price. The place needs an upgrade again, you can tell it's well trafficked which is good but it looks run down and smells bad at times. read more

I've been to many golden corrals all around the United States and found that this was one of the worst. I've talked to many people about their experiences here and found that most of them are exactly the same. We joke that this is a unique Golden Corral because they only serve side dishes. My group showed up about 7 p.m. and found that most of the main dishes were all gone and we're not replaced. The restaurant was absolutely trashed. I was even willing to go grab a manager to complain not to find one anywhere. If this Golden Corral location keeps it up I assume that this is the one that will end up on Dateline NBC. read more

OH MY GOODNESS!! 5 stars is NOT a enough!!! Tyler, went and and got our car for us after closing, and brought it to us with the windshield wippers and heater On. what an ANGEL! read more

We ate here last night. It was extremely busy. With that being said, it was actually very clean. The food was good however some of the food tasted old, almost like fresh was stirred in. Majority of food was good. Variety offered! Dessert bar was amazing as well. Outside of some of the food tasting old, it was delicious. Servers were not very attentive. They would stare at you but unless you asked for a refill, one was never offered. One of the two spent more time counting tip money versus waiting and was very quick to clean the table just not offer service. Overall, it was worth the money. read more

The first couple times me and my fiance went, the food was fine and okay. But the last couple times the chicken was basically raw, potatoes was somehow oily, soggy and undercooked. And various other food qualities have just drastically decreased. read more

The cashier was rude and doesn't care about the customers. Literally, the girl running the register yelled, "I don't care. I just work here." That really needs to change. The manager apologized as we were leaving. He said there was no excuse for the attitude we got from the cashier. read more

This was THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO! The little boy manager short with white hair & glasses did absolutely nothing but be angry the whole time, even when he was trying to be nice it came out passive aggressive (throwing food on the customers plate). Including yelling and or addressing thing towards staff in front of customers. NOONE CHANGED THEIR GLOVES). All the food was cold except for the rolls and the waitresses were very flirtatious with every man they could. The plates smelled like . The sweet tea was old and badly made. The cup barely had any ice in it by the time it got too me. First & last time I will ever go ! read more

Great clean place! Lots of good food! Been there both times I have been to Odessa in the past month! I recommend anyone to go eat there!!

This was the worst GC I have ever been too! I look forward to finding a GC as there are none in my town but this one for lunch basically was terrible. Got there about 11:30am for lunch they were still making breakfast. Got fried fish and chicken it was cold and tasted like it was cooked yesterday. The pot roast was ok but the carrots were the sliced kind not baby whole like at all the rest of the GC. Finally they put out sliders which were cold in the middle. Go figure. Save your money this is a GC in name only the food tastes terrible and was old. read more

Very good for being so busy they have fresh steak they are ready when it comes to dinner on Sunday's I will return my family enjoyed everyone asking is everything ok at the table. The waitress was fantastic very fast paced they get your plates out of the way. Good service read more

This place is horrid. The floor is gross and sticky, there weren't any clean tables to sit down at,waitresses behind the soda fountain were cussing and table waitresses nowhere to be found. Yes I know it's golden Corral and the expectations are low. But this is ridiculous. I don't even want to give it one star but I have no choice. read more

Don't know why I try thought this one would be any different. Went with family and friends and discovered golden corral sucks every where. The food quality is poor and most of the employees are there just to collect a paycheck. read more

First visit at this location and for any weekend breakfast buffet. Too much to choose from and so little time. We enjoyed the senior discount. If getting an omelet they serve large portions so be very hungry or think leftovers. Omelet cooked in just 4 min. Wait staff was very attentive and worked hard for her tip. read more
