I don't know about these reviews and my family. I liked the food Thats all that matters for me! Steak was absolutely amazing. Service was alright, very nice lady and they catered to my grandma after she complained about the server, and I dunno about y'all but I love the atmosphere. It feels like an ikea and I like that. Ice cream was great too. 5 stars, only real complaint is the pizza looked like straight plastic. read more

Not a great idea to come an hour before closing but the employees here are super nice. Starting with the steak station. Everything was medium well and more done so the cook said he would grill a medium rare for me. Took probably ten minutes but it was a perfect medium rare and delicious as could be with the steak sauce. Items off the buffet varied to overbaked baked potatoes, great green beans and solid mashed potatoes. Overdone onion rings. BBQ chicken was moist and tasty. Something for everyone. Icee cups and soft serve ice cream for dessert is nice. Of course I find out day after that the Sam's Club next door has discounted gift cards. read more

The food was horrible, no seasoning at all and the portions are small for a sandwich . I head the walleye toco and a Perch sandwich witch had bones in it. And to think I spent 80 something dollars. read more

I normally really like this location. This instance though, the staff servicing the tables was shockingly bad. My parents picked the table but a tipoff was the neighboring tables with piles of plates and used napkins on them. Aside from dropping off our drinks, we never were attended to at all. It's not even that Tatiana was busy--she was just hanging out in her work area most of the time. 1st time in a restaurant, especially a buffet, where the wait staff was nonexistent. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - no plates cleared, no drinks refilled. What's going on?? - Buffets Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Food was cold, had a thick crust on the top of everything as nobody has turned the pans. Nobody was behind the bars to carve the turkey, pork or ham. When i asked for a piece of steak they refused to cook a piece as they had a small dried out piece they would rather serve to the paying customer. The restaurant was clean, but the staff is more worried about eating and recording each other instead of taking care of business. Seen a manager walk past a couple times with not a clue how to run an establishment. To many places to eat in sandusky, please don't waste you time and money here! read more

The food there is a piece of crap. Never go there for your entire life. It reeked so bad I gagged every time I took a breath.

Our server - Angel - was amazing! She was incredibly friendly and sweet. She made our visit wonderful. My son even requested a photo with her at the "photo op" wall, and she agreed. :) The restaurant was also themed. There were a LOT of themed decorations. When we visited in the summer of 2023, it was pirate themed, and we were told the theme changes periodically, but I can't remember how often. It was very cool. The singing, wandering "busser" robots were interesting. The food wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad at all. It seems weird to think/say/type, but the ambience at this Golden Corral truly made it a special place. If we are in the area again, this will probably top our list of restaurants we want to visit! read more

This place is a big joke. Ate there Sunday and the hot bars were most times empty. There were no dishes 4 times. The manager was to busy going to Starbucks for coffee instead of helping. She never does. It will be awhile before I go back. read more

The food here was less than impressive. There wasn't any steak, the ham and pizza were both dry. The service was awful, had to ask multiple time for a drink refill. Other food was bland. Music was a little loud and place was cold. Bring back the robots for better service. And don't dare ask for a to go drink, unless you are below the age a six. read more

Had a great experience here. The hostess/cashiers were very nice, and we discussed them being twins and meeting our triplets. The food was good and the service was nice. The kids love being able to choose what they want to eat. Also, all the deserts you can eat isn't bad. I just dont like how I over eat everytime then feel like I'm in a food come. Oh well, that's what I get. Still won't keep us from coming back. Wish they had onion rings I could trt. read more

This Golden Corral's customer service was absolutely terrible, from moment I walked in and to the moment I walked out I felt incredibly judged. My steak was seriously undercooked, this place pmo. Food tested really bad. I will not be returning here read more

$3.00 for a cup of coffee Won't be back$3.00 for iced tea. Menu never changes. Food not that good. read more

I'm very disappointed in the service at this location. We got here at 3:59pm and were charged for the dinner. Whatever, we let it go, but were already ticked off. We then had to seat ourselves and clean our own table because every single available table was disgusting, and our cashier ran away immediately after taking our money, giving us no further instruction. We sat at our unclean table and were not served drinks until we repeatedly asked 4 different servers, which of that number, none were any help. Eventually we had to go directly to the manager, and received our drinks 34 minutes after our initial sit down. We have always enjoyed Golden Corral and it is our go-to anytime we travel, but this was extremely disappointing. read more

The food was absolute GOATED, most people say "everything is trash" well the. throw them in a dumpste.

This was great. The perfect place for hungry people, the food was immaculate. Service is good, plus the place has a very cute robot. Great value as a customer, loved the staff, there hard work keeps the buffet running. This place is great! read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Buffets Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Typical Golden Corral but brand new as it just opened up and you can definitely tell as it was jumping on this Saturday night! So I've been to one of their locations before back in California and it wasn't the best but that's not the case here as everything I had was quite good and really just hit the food coma spot! It was some of my coworkers idea to come here so we did for that all you can eat action of this that and everything in between for that so grab some of this grab some of that and you know your going to want more so it's all that! Overall it is what it is when you come to Golden Corral if you've been to one before then you know what to expect so from that I really hope that this location keeps up as from what I've heard things in Sandusky just don't last! read more

How do people eat this crap. Like seriously. Not 1 thing we tried was good. Not even the steak or chicken. Everything was rubbery and overly salted. Food can be seasoned without salt fyi. Oh and the rude cashier didn't help. Very rude. Not helpful at all. A major downgrade from Ryan's. read more

This was my third time here. Stop by whenever im in Sandusky. We dont have any buffets back home so why not pig out at the buffet. The food here is amazing.

The Steak is amazing! The Rest Of the Food Is A 7/10 The waiters don't really do anything but when they do help they are nice. Very clean on the inside. Floors have small stains. read more

Very Disappointed. The look of it from the outside, it looks like they just open. The Grand Opening sign still up and hanging. We don't know the area, but we drove past it on the way to our hotel and our kids asked if we could go for dinner. We absolutely love the Golden Corral buffet in our hometown, so we said Yes to the kids. The kids were excited and were looking forward to it. Our kids started talking about, they can't wait to have some ice cream and the chocolate fondue fountain, etc. We got seated with a gentleman. He was polite and was wonderful. But we did notice 6-8 other employees we're just walking around the floor and some were on their cellphones. As we come up to the foods, it was horrifying. I didn't even know which one to get. Most of the foods we're dry and I couldn't tell what's in the tray. The countertop was dirty, dry foods in the countertop. One other lady with a family was so upset, she asked for a manager. She spoke to the manager and a few minutes later some employees started cleaning the counter top. But none of the foods we're exchanged or refilled. We walk to the dessert area and we were told, the ice cream machine was broken and they don't have chocolate fondue. Cookies and brownies were dry and hard to bite. The pies and cheesecake we're mostly broken. This place was horrible. I believe to better this place. They need better training with all the employees and better management. I use to work and manage a restaurant. I don't believe the staff should walk around the floor with cellphones on hand during shift. 2nd that food needs to keep warm, refilled and make sure the counter is clean. Manager - walk around and make sure the diners are satisfied and well-taken care of. read more

Some of the people that went there are absolute pigs just sloppy ass pigs Food looked like it was chewed up and put in the lettuce The plates were still dirty after being washed Food splattered all over the countertop the floors Workers speeding around like there on a race track trying to keep up with cleaning and taking orders Good luck on getting a question in People complaining about stuff People rushing pushing into people walking like there robots on doomsday No room to take your time to look around because it felt like it was rush hr for people Not a quiet place to just relax and eat I feel bad for the workers here read more

Food was very good. Nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly. A group of 4 of us came for breakfast. We will definitely return read more

food was good , service was good, very clean. Staff was very helpful. One of the cleanest we're eaten at

It wasn't good. There was throw up in the urinel . Food was not good at all. The waitress wouldn't listen.

Probably my best experience at a Golden Corral. The food was good. The service with Lori was perfect. I appreciate the good service!!

Place was clean, staff was very friendly. But the food looked like it had been sitting out all day an hour after the restaurant opened.

Appreciate their commitment to helping kids, vets, and community. Great people to talk with. Service and food is important to them.

My sister and I went there to eat today, and was totally disappointed! Every kind of chicken they had was DRY! Their masheds potatoes sucked, no flavor, and their popcorn shrimp was rubbery! There dessert bar wasn't very good either, the only food that was good was their hamburgers, their salad bar and thier sweet potatoes and baked ham. Hate to say it, but probably won't be going back! They should of kept Ryans! read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon. A steak and rib dinner priced at $13.99 seemed reasonable to me. Both were flavorful and tender. The corn on the cob and baked beans were both excellent. Good steakhouse style dinner rolls. I also tried the fried chicken, two thumbs up there. Our server was attentive and very friendly. I also liked the décor and the way the place was setup. It was very easy to navigate. Personally, I wish they would have had collard greens on the bar to go along with the BBQ items but that's just a reflection of my personal taste. Now for the downside. It has a very small dessert buffet. If you are a picky dessert eater there are not a lot of selections to be found here. Very standard fair aside from the cotton candy and chocolate fountain. The area was also very messy and the ice-cream machine was empty. A stark contrast to the rest of the place. My recommendations...you need to put the cotton candy out where people can get to it, instead of leaving it in a big bag on the floor behind the dessert bar. I saw a couple of little girls waiting for this confection while the staff refilled other items on the dessert counter. As best I can tell the only way to get a bag of the fluffy stuff was to ask for it. I think in the hustle and bustle the girls were missed. They were being very patient and polite BTW. A rarity among kids these days. My hubby also loves cotton candy and it would have been nice to be able to grab a bag without having to ask for it. Also, if you are going to have a chocolate fountain as your main draw at the dessert bar. Maybe put out something besides just marshmallows, strawberry's and rice crispy treats. It would have seemed a little more special had there been more options for dipping. Had the dessert bar been better I would have given this location five stars. read more

My family and I tried it the night before while attending an event known as Colossalcon. There was some good and bad. The good was the selection. A lot of meats, veggies, and desert options. The staff appeared friendly if not thin spread (remember, big event that shared time with a motorcycle convention of sorts too). The bad was that it was dirty. Mostly the plates on the center island still had big chunks of food hunk stuck to them, and a lot of water on the floor (a poor server slipped and fell while carrying a tray of table clean up). The other is that it was expensive but it was to be expected. Three people was a bit over $50 but you got steak and ribs with the buffet. We didn't get sick with the dish ware while picking out seemingly clean sections of the pile. Probably won't go back on a return trip but hopefully any problems was only because of a higher than usual turnout. read more

The variety and general freshness is good, especially outstanding are the salad selections. Even though there was a fairly large number of diners, the food entrees were continuosly restocked. The servers are extremely attentive and make sure the patrons are well taken care of. Great value for the money. read more

just came from here today, found 3 STRAINS OF HAIR in/on our food. wasn't a clean place, there was a booger on the bottom of the salt shaker. When we told the manager they accused us of putting the hair there because we've complained so many times. Dishes were still dirty. They gave us 2 free meal cards, but we will definitely not be returning. read more

$60 for a family of 4 is kinda crazy for Golden Corral food in my mind but that wasn't the issue. The issue I had was the waitress. I don't like being mean towards actual people but it was more than bad to watch. First off we simply couldn't get the right drinks. No biggie. Then as we're eating, we ask her if they have any plastic spoons to feed our baby with and she points to the front of the store and then goes into the dishes room. So we get up and get that ourselves. Again; kinda annoying but no biggie. Now for the nasty AS HELL part. There's a little robot that rolls around and people throw there dishes in. The waitress went to throw a bunch of plates in a bin and food went all over the floor and she left it right by our table for a few minutes. She then came back and started scrapping it into her hands then throwing it into the bin! Proceeded to wipe her hands on her pants, then go pick some guys glass up for a refill and brought it back to him never washing her hands. I never asked for a refill and told my kids not to either. This place needs to speak to its employees about hygiene!!! read more

My niece wanted golden corral so we stopped here. It was later in the evening and a party of 65 just pulled up. The wait time sucked but the food was hot and fresh. Lots of options to choose from for meats. Dessert table was also good. Servers were friendly and helpful read more

This replaces the former buffet at this location and I must say, this is an improvement. Much much cleaner than I expected... Most chain buffets are cleaning nightmares, but it was very clean on a busy day. The steak was prepared to my liking and the person operating the grill seemed interested in my satisfaction. I was hoping the restrooms would continue the clean feel of the place and while brighter, were pretty... uh, used thoroughly. Overall the selection of foods were varied and well seasoned. Only the vegetables were bland. As far as buffet chains go... this one is very good. I hope that they can keep up the good work. read more
