Nice Golden Corral We went here for my son's birthday. The service is great, and the food is good. The dessert is always on point! Tables are very clean, decor is cute, and I would reccomend this place. read more

Pay your FUCKING TAXES. You are always busy when we are there. Maybe you wouldn't be taken by the state. I enjoy looking for things to mix together to make things. I found it cool the had watermelon. I wish the dessert didn't have so many things that have red dye in them since I'm allergic to red dye. Also would love to see more things to make a salad with. read more

You get a lot of average-quality food at a decent price. We arrived during the week in the middle of 4-5 buses filled with tourists and had to fight our way through the crowd. Some things ran out quickly (plates, forks) and some food was low at times. But we managed. This place had a lot of options from different cuisines (tacos; Asian bourbon chicken; pot roast; breaded fish; chicken sandwiches; etc.) but none wowed me. Even the desserts, of which there were many choices, were just okay. Even the red Jello, one of my favorite things since I was a little kid (don't judge) had a terrible after-taste. They seemingly make a lot of the food in house, so either their recipes are bad (they were loaded with salt- no doubt to fill you up quicker) or sitting on a hot station ruined the texture and flavor of the food. The highlight for me was their yeasty butter rolls, especially with their chicken sandwiched between them. Sadly, by the time I found out about them they were literally on the last pan of the day. How is that possible for a lunch buffet at 1:15 in the afternoon? I miss good quality American buffets. Nowadays, you generally only find Chinese/Asian and Indian/Asian buffets. (I guess some places due brunch buffets, which doesn't quite check the same boxes). Will I be back? They are literally the only American buffet within a hour of my house so I am sure I will eventually get desperate and drive up here. But it won't be soon. read more

Food was consistent with Golden Corral. Staff was nice and the place was clean. Only complaint was that the ice cream machine was down which was a bummer and the ice machine did not have cups you had to use a bowl. read more

Lunch at the Golden Corral was terrible !!! The worst !!! It was worse than hospital cafeteria food !!! Let's start with the " popcorn shrimp " it was more like popcorn krill It was super tiny . The Mexican section tasted like dog food , the fish was soggy, the stuffing was worse than stovetop, the beef tips were fatty and tough, the biscuits were dry, the pizza was worse than frozen, the dessert was cheap and tasteless much like the ice cream which was more like ice milk . I cannot say enough bad things about this buffet what a total waste of money and time !! read more

When I got there all food was cold and the yeast rolls were hard and cold. Rolls never got restocked horrible attention on food. Once rolls can were out they weren't stocked back up again. read more

Good food, good service, tables very clean and the inside and outside was nice, I would recommend and go again. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Yummy - Buffets Near Me - Queensbury, New York

The food was mushy and much of it was inedible. Our waitress was Dawn who made me feel like I should jsut leave. I never saw her once we got our drinks, except for when I flagged her down for a refill. She rolled her eyes and huffed and puffed. I heard her tell a coworker "and these are the people who won't leave you a tip!" (I don't believe she was talking about us but it's unprofessional as a former server.) and AS a former server I couldn't leave her nothing but I left her $2 which she didn't deserve. The male server next to us seemed wonderful and I wish we had had him. We will not be returning off the basis of nasty food and dare I say some of the most miserable waitstaff and managers read more

Took my wife there recently for a cheap little date night. Where do I even begin? First off, "cheap" is the last word that I'd used to describe this experience. Crazy overpriced for a low quality buffet. The food was bland and dried out - some of it looked like it had been sitting around for hours. The staff was entirely checked out. Our waitress Michelle was pretty lazy - only thing she really had to do was bring us drinks and occasionally clear the table but that was apparently too much effort. Most of our interactions were her complaining about other customers, or being "friendly" to me in a way my wife was less than happy with. Tried to give me her number while my wife was in the bathroom... just all around an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. read more

Their food is very tasty, the bread pudding is nice and warm, to die for, lol. The waitresses are Very nice, and love to converse, which I'm good with. The place is Nice and clean, after people leave the table never stays dirty for long and the bathroom is Excellent and Clean. Every time my husband I have gone, it has been pretty crowded but We've never had to wait And they don't get angry at us for bringing our daughter (dog) as long as she stays in her bag, we love it! read more

The food is very salty. The food definitely could improve. Food kind of reminds me of prepared head of time. I don't think it's instant fresh. read more

I've been here many times and it's usually hit or miss, but our visit this weekend was really quite good. Food was hot and fresh and seemed to be replenished regularly. Food quality was good, everything was tasty. I don't think I've ever seen them have chicken & dumplings, tomato cucumber salad, or vegetable rice casserole, and they were all good additions. Appreciate that they have Coke products instead of Pepsi. Recently renovated to be brighter, lighter colors. Plenty of searing. Friendly servers getting drink refills and promptly removing finished plates. I think dinner prices are a bit expensive but the lunch price was very reasonable and they have a good senior early bird price that includes a drink between 1-3pm. read more

This review is for dinner on 8/29/2024. There were 5 of us in the group. Short line-up, and we were seated immediately after we paid at the counter. I must say I am impressed with how good the food is for the price we pay. I'm especially talking about the steak--grilled to perfection. For $20 per person, I didn't expect much in terms of the quality of the meat, but it exceeded my expectations. They also have a pretty good selection of salad dressings. I went ahead and constructed a beet salad with blue cheese, craisins, sunflower seeds, and balsamic vinaigrette, paired with a perfectly rare ribeye steak. I also sampled other side dishes like pasta, potatoes, veggies, and creamed spinach among others. They all tasted great, but obviously, there's too much to try in just one visit. If you pace yourself and leave some room for dessert, you'll find that the blueberry pie and chocolate cheesecake are perfectly balanced--decadent without being too sweet. Topped with their soft-serve ice cream, they're better than most pies I've ever tried read more

Good food for a great price. The service was excellent also. We had a group of 25 and reserved the party room in advance. The room was clean and comfortable. The wait staff was very attentive. I would definitely recommend this Golden Corral to everyone. read more

The food is always kept hot or cold, and replenished often. The service is great, especially a waitress named Angela. All the wait staff is very friendly and efficient. We go there often. read more

The food just isn't for me it's all very basic nothing over the top. Also it's overcrowded and just not my scene at all. Since the reopen it's definitely gone down hill read more

This food here is excellent as it's always a new batch of fresh bread and grilled meats. The service is very nice and super friendly. The ambiance is very pleasant as it's always playing calm and mellow music. Five stars read more

Id give it NEGATIVE 5 STARS. Last time i was here was pre-covid and my family and i used to love it. This place is sooooo bad now. Food was stale and just plain terrible!!! The fish was definitely frozen to death prior to cooking so it was water logged and tasteless. Its up To 20 bucks a person And not work 1.50. So anyway, after trying all the disgusting food, trying to give the place the benefit of the doubt, I walked over to the dessert section. The peach cobbler was cold and had a weird film over the top of it. The cheesecake look like a gelatinous mess, and the ice cream machine had gloves of ice cream just dripping down the sides. It was just plain gross. There was no labels to let you know what you were eating. I watched the girl open up a literal can from Cisco of chocolate pudding and dump it into container. To say I'm done with this place would be an absolute understatement. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, that's halfway decent. This is definitely not the place to go. And if you don't believe me, go to the section after reading this that says violations, 10 reported. Read the amount of inspections done by the state and how they have violated over 10 different times with things such as food prep sanitation., and proper washing, hands of employees, no signs in the bathroom from place to wash hands, and refrigerator is not cold enough. So you know what that means... That means that you will eventually get food poisoning read more

One of the best restaurants in the world, but I wish they would make it so people actually know which way to go and don't cut lines because if I'm trying to get some rice or fries on my plate for an example and then some dude just pushes me to get to the fries or rice How is that fair and then he cuts line goes in front of me and makes me have to wait even longer read more

For $20 and huge variety of food that was decently made. I had to give it a 5 for its category of cheap buffets. The food was fresh and replenished constantly. The service was decent and clean. We came back twice during our stay. I highly recommend their fried chicken and prime rib. Their fully breads and amazing sides. Their dessert selection was plentiful but also more sweet than most places. read more

they had Icee which was the only good thing other than that , the food looked cheap . the only edible thing would be the chicken and rice.. other than that .. not it read more

Service has gone down a lot. Tried talking to manger and it was usless!!! Food sits to long on burner

The children thoroughly enjoy it. Everyone appears to be satisfied with the variety of options. It simplifies the evening for parents.

Best buffet I ever ate at service and servers very friendly food hot and delicious Steak Sirloin read more

Buffet out in lake george for some reason some of my family likes this place i think because it is affordable and ayce. But i am sorry even thought the prices are on the low i would rather eat somewhere with better quality food and less salt! It is decent and standard buffet with mostly american food but its a lot of heavy, fried or heavily salted food. The steak is hit or miss you can get what they consider a medium or medium rare piece. This is probably the best thing you can get if it comes out right. They had some fajita type food like shrimp or chicken with peppers, barely got to eat it because they never came out with more. Comfort food brings you to think about like thanksgiving food. They got a salad bar and desserts with a chocolate fountain and cotton candy. Vibes are super casual and most likely townies. Just asked for a pitcher because we had the back room for like 30 of us service was fine. They don't restock the food as quickly as i would like. read more

I had a good time here for my sons birthday. He loves this place. The food was good not to salty like past experiences. They have a lot to choose from. The country ribs was delicious as well as the bourbon chicken. The waitress (Kelly) was always around and filling up our cups and taking the empty plates. My kids love to get at that desert section. This is one of the better Corals in the area. read more

We were here on a Sunday afternoon during a little trip to the Lake George area. I was excited to try this American chain and having seen ads on tv just the day before I got a good impression from the selection. Kids eat for just 99 cents, lunch and dinner varies from 10$ to 15$ depending on the day. Our weekend dinner was the most expensive but I'm assuming with the most selection. I was quite surprised at the options and quality food items, lots of homestyle american classics like fried chicken, mac and cheese or meat loaf, but you could also get steak (entire cut) or steak strips, many different types of chicken and fish and delicious tex-mex inspired or cajun shrimp. The new grill station is quite popular, I found that you certainly got your money's worth on meat alone. There's a big salad bar with all the fixing and a few desserts, like frozen yogourt, chocolate fountain, cakes, pies, cookies, fudge, brownies etc. I usually find desserts at buffets very average, but everything I sampled was actually delicious!! Cookies and cakes were hot and moist, the flavors were right and truly there was no wrong choice. My partner sampled a wide variety of everything and had the same consensus. Only bummer is that beverages are not included, it's almost 3$ extra for a drink, however you pay in advance like at a cantine, so save on tipping. The overall decor and seating remind me of a cafeteria, it's not a nice decor per say. I would recommend this for a lunch of a family get together as it's very cheap. read more

Unexpectedly the food was great. Everything was fresh tables were clean. good service.

Couldn't wait untill it opened again after covid and wasn't disappointed! It took over an hour to get there but was surprised at how different it was inside. Very clean looking but almost too sterile. Definitely needs some color! Food was very good ... thankfully all of our favorites were back like fried chicken, chili, pot roast and good salad ingredients! Price was reasonable and I got $5.00 off when I signed up for their website. Will definitely be back read more

Good buffet, I was expecting a larger variety but it was still good. Great for the price. Food itself was good; the bourbon chicken was awesome. Unfortunately the cleanliness wasn't awesome, I don't know if they took advantage of the updated building and didn't clean at all cause it still looks now or they just Got lazy with the bathrooms because they were gross. read more

Great place to go. The steak is very good. Our server Joey was fantastic. Drinks full plates cleared always smiling. Win win. Restaurant very clean read more

My family and I got here around 10am on a Sunday morning ..just in time for breakfast! We paid about $40+tax for the buffet and were seated right away. There were many empty tables and lots of parking spots available. The buffet offers several types of beverages including coffee and tea. The selection was great! I loved the omelet station and also got 4 waffles ordered here. You can customize the mini-waffles with strawberry and cool whip, etc. By 11, there was a change over with pork and other choices for a decent "brunch". The french toast and biscuits were also delicious! I also enjoyed the service. The waiter was great and attentive. The young lady at the omelet station was so friendly and helpful. I did not like how untidy certain area were however, due to the high volume i'm sure it's unavoidable. read more

Awful. I've been to a bunch of GC's in the past five years or so, as it's my step-son's pick when it's his turn and we're on the road for sporting events. This one is worth the miss. Poorly prepared and maintained buffet, substandard staff, and a general air of apathy make this particular location worth skipping. read more

Since this is a relatively new Golden Corral, I assumed it would be clean and well-organized. It is. Even though the salad bar was kept very well stocked, I believe it is not quite as large in size and variety of ingredients as the Golden Corral in Saratoga/Wilton. It has the usual assortment of hot items you would expect. And as you might also expect, if you can get to the steamed/cooked vegetables as soon as they are brought out, they will be pretty good, but they continue to cook in the warmer trays. As always you can make your trip to a Golden Corral as healthy or not as you want. One newer feature this Corral has is the Wok area. It featured a number of stir fries, as well as spring rolls which were very crisp and tasty. But the big surprise was just how good the Bourbon St. Chicken was. Besides their usual assortment of (too sweet for me) desserts (I usually just get fruit), they have a cotton candy machine (which I guess is becoming more common). This one appeared to be broken, because two employees were standing over it, and all it was producing was noise. But this was the first Corral in which I saw a case of hard ice cream as well as the usual soft-serv. They had 4 flavors: Butter Pecan, Strawberry, cookies & cream, ad rocky road. The catch? the opening was on the kitchen side of the case. You had to flag down an employees, hand that person a dish, and indicate how many scoops you wanted. This seems awfully counter-productive to the ability of the person staffing the dessert area to get more done. The parking lot is much larger than you might think when driving in along NY 254. When leaving, you are not allowed to make a left turn, only a right turn towards that wonderfully congested US 9/NY 254 intersection. read more

Another Great Golden Corral Experience. Servers were good I believe I had Tyler and Courtney. Very quiet location. No fighting to get anything. Just the way a Golden Corral should be. read more

My first experience at any Golden Corral and let me tell you, much better than I expected. For $12, you get yourself a full buffet, a made to order steak (if you come for dinner) and an array of desserts, including fresh spun cotton candy and hard ice cream. You can't beat it for the price and for the most part, the food is pretty decent. You're at a cheap buffet, so you have to lower your standards a bit. You aren't going to get 5 Star dishes, but you will get food that you won't spit out and that you could get full on. Service was great and for the most part, the restaurant was clean. Of course a few dirty dishes, but you just pick another plate. Self-service for the most part, they will refill your drinks though, once you sit down. All in all, more of a 3.5 star, but I rounded up. Left here extremely full and pretty satisfied. read more

I can find nothing negative to say about this Golden Corral. The buffet was well-stocked and full of variety, and the good itself was really good. Our server (Nikia) was friendly and kept our table clean and clear. Will definitely be back. Although I'll probably try to eat less...Too full now. Must. Unbutton. Pants. read more
