Sunday Golden Corral The premier car show in Pigeon Forge in April is the Smoky Mountain Spring Rod Run, and we love car shows.... Unfortunately, this is an opportunity for the government of Pigeon Forge to demonstrate how inadequate it is in reference to managing large events. A professional staff would manage traffic flow rather than permit the present "Free for All." We endorse that Golden Corral offers Dinner (rather than lunch) all day at Dinner prices. Excellent large shrimp, and steak grilled to order. We realize the increase in Sunday prices deter folks from attending, and that is fine. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - American Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

The hubby and I with two of our good friends stopped here for dinner. The food was delicious. Prices were high but it is a touristy town so it is expected. Service was excellent. Decor was nicely decorated for the Christmas season. The only down fall was the cleanliness. Very dirty. The floors were filthy. The bathroom was disgusting. They need to give this place a truly deep cleaning when they close. read more

Chicken, beef roast, potatoes, rice, salads, pecan pie, key lime pie & oatmeal rain cookies were all excellent! This is our first visit ever to Golden Corral! The restaurant was clean, service excellent & food was really good! read more

If you've been before, you know how the food is, it's not a 5 star restaurant, but the senior deal from 1-3 for $10.99 is a deal. I'm big on salad and soup and filled up on those and added just a few veggie and a protein, that was enough for me. Topped it off with soft serve ice cream, which was ok, thought they need a new machine. Over all, for the money, it's a good place that I recommend. The service was great too! read more

The staff are super nice, the buffet seemed clean ... but I wouldn't say the COVID guidelines are strictly enforced - I saw several diners not wearing masks and getting their food :( They still do the regular buffet where everything is self-serve (I had thought buffet restaurants were doing the cafeteria style where servers did the plating during COVID) -- the only thing different is everyone is given one plastic glove to use for the serving utensil to grab food .... which looked like everyone was adhering too. We opted to do the takeout option -- where we went to the buffet line to fill up our styrofoam containers and then got our containers weighed ... they charge $6.49/lb which seemed like a better deal than the to-go dinners plus you can get more variety. But of course nothing beats the value or enjoyment of in-person AYCE buffet - $10.49/person and $9.99/seniors for lunch. During lunch, meat options incl. fried chicken, pulled pork. pot roast, meatloaf, fish. My favorites - pulled pork, hush puppies, green beans, baked beans, sweet potato casserole, peach cobbler & pecan pie. Overall, food is pretty good. My only wish is that they would enforce mask wearing in the food buffet line. FYI lunch is 11-4pm, and early bird pricing for seniors is from 1-3pm. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - menus - American Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

The food was amazing. You serve yourself so if you don't like the service that is on you. The restaurant has a nice ambiance.

The server was very attentive to filling our water and taking our used dishes. The buffet had an extensive selection of tasty food. There was something for everyone. Food was all hot and the buffet was maintained very well. I would return here. I wasn't a huge fan of the dining room. I wish there was a little more room between tables. read more

good food, classic golden corral. good selection and nice people. worth the money, and has a good amount of seating

Service was excellent. Our server was so nice and made sure we always had drinks . Place was clean and the food was great . Would definitely come back to this Golden Corral . read more

Being hesitant because of the corona virus, this experience was exceptional. All employees were masked and gloved. The buffet concept worked safely and servers dished everything up for us. The food was hot and delicious: fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and greens. Great lunch and easy place to bring two toddlers. They had both senior and military pricing read more

Loved it. No wait, servers and staff were very friendly. It was clean and they filled food quickly. The food was great typical buffet style with lots of options. I loved the rolls and honey butter. They cleared dirty plates quickly. Lots of dessert options. I really enjoyed it, would go back, just wish it was closer to a here I live. read more

Always good and always clean. We're locals and we have never had an issue here. Always well maintained and food is always hot and replenished very quickly. read more

Food is good, service really good, ambiance is like a '80s buffet! I got a pizza, orange chicken, and 2 kinds of rice. 5 stars!

This is a fresh, well stocked and clean location. Its busy. The steaks are pretty good sized and the cook here knows just how to cook them. The salads are fresh a clean. The attendant does a great job at keeping the stations clean and fresh which is a plus for me. The waitress kept refilling our drinks and was really nice and courteous. The restrooms were clean. Would recommend trying the lemon rosemary steak....it tasted different and was pretty good. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Bonnie the server was the best server I've ever had at any restaurant - American Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Sign on the front door requiring masks but not enforced by employees as PLENTY of people were walking around like there isn't a pandemic going on, so minus one star for them not saying at all. The servers wore masks but no gloves. The employees were nice though and our server, an older hispanic lady, was super sweet. Food was good overall with the mashed potatoes and gravy being the best. Chicken tenders were chewy and bland. I'd return here if on vacation in the area again! read more

I was hesitant at first with it being a buffet but this place was very clean, the staff was very friendly and food was very good! My favorite was the salad because they have a lot of toppings to choose from and the ranch dressing is so good! They also had a Mexican station where you could make your own loaded nachos and even put on guacamole. There is something for everyone because of all the choices so it's a good place to go if you're with a group. And I cannot forget to mention the chocolate fountain available For dessert! read more

This place is good for the whole family. There's a little arcade space for the young, A dessert bar for the sweet tooth, and many more to satisfy your likings. I definitely recommend the steak. read more

Prices are very reasonable. We were here for the Sunday Brunch. I don't think anything was bad, most of delicious and some average. I especially liked their meatloaf! I couldn't have done any better. Large variety of foods, from meat & potatoes, to Asian, to Mexican. Nice salad bar. Deserts were the only disappointment, but I feel the main course buffet more than makes up for the "not worth the calories" desserts. read more

Stooped here on the way home from Dollywood. Happened in on Prime rib promo so it was more expensive than expected. It was clean & had a good variety of foods. We had chicken, popcorn shrimp, pot roast & honey sesame chicken for our mains. They were all good. The mashed potatoes & brown gravy were very good. The ranch salad dressing tasted bad, like it was watered down. All in all it was pretty good. Much better than the expensive food we've had at Dollywood. read more

It was ok. I mean, I totally felt like I was completely out of place. We will start with the front desk. One word, rude. I felt like I was cattle going into slaughter. Move'em in, move'em out! Next item... Cleanliness. Food all over the floor. Countless tables that needed bused. Bar area needed some cleaning as well. Food, nothing to write home about. Typical run of the mill precooked frozen items. Steak was way too done even when told medium. Not just once, but four times. Ice ream machine was broke for the chocolate side which meant only vanilla was available. It tasted like cleaner. Yuck! I only received one refill when I should have had about three or four considering all the ice they gave me. There was a good thing though, it's location. It's at a red light so it's easy to come and go. In the end, I won't be back to this location. $14.99 for a buffet that's not at all clean is not what I want to experience again. read more

After long hiking in the smokies, two tired and exhausted boys wanted to try Golden Corral Buffet. BTW that was my first time eating their food. There was varieties of food and I feel like all the food was just for me. LOL This plaace was super crowded and I was guessing maybe because of their good food. I wanted to try all but my TOMMY was already full. All the people are friendly and everything was well organized. You deserved more than 5 stars from me. read more

We came here on a family vacation after walking a hiking trail in the smokies. They had an assortment of everything for everyone. My kids are picky eaters so we usually dine out at buffets. I really enjoyed their fried shrimp with cocktail and tartar sauce. read more

We had surf and turf mashed taters, roast beef and a big huge salad.the service was OK. It's was packing up with people. I would say the top buffet around read more

Great food for a buffet! Waitress was very polite and attentive! Don't remember her name but I think she said she was from Vegas!

Cleanest one in Smoky Mtn area. Friendly staff. Breakfasts are amazing. Lunch is average. Dinner steak is really good :) Price is kinda high. Senior discount & Local discount. The building seems kinda small compared to other buffets, so beware of a packed parking lot, this place stays BUSY read more

Went to golden corral yesterday for lunch 4_24_2018. Price was suppose to be 6.99. But. They charged us 7.99 plus drink. What happened to the 6.99 read more

I'm here now and very impressed. By far the cleanest buffet we have been too. Would deinitely return if we're not traveling through.

I ate Thanksgiving dinner here. I'm out of town so I was a little worried because I don't like the one where I live, but I am extremely glad we did decide to eat here. They were so packed out, but the servers were great. The food was jam up! I don't know how the place is on a regular day but Thanksgiving was the bomb! read more

Our server was Jeronimo, he was absolutely fantastic. We sat down he asked if we needed any coffee or any extra sauces that was not in the table. Hands down we eat Golden Corral ALOT as it's our kids favorite restaurant and this was by far the best customer service from our server, the people preparing the food, and the manager which I think her name was Holly. We also called before we came and spoke to a lady name Haley that was helpful and absolutely helpful. Thank you all my kids birthday has been made complete by you all going above and beyond. read more

My Mama and I decided to stop here for lunch today after running an errand. We had such high hopes and expectations. A friend had told me it was good and the parking lot was full. It was a major let down beyond measure. First off the lady where we paid was rude to my Mom when she paid with a debit card. Not a great way to off. The food. Oh the food. It was some of the most bland, dry, and truly inedible food ever. We tried to sample a variety of dishes from each buffet line. The next one was just as awful and terrible as the last one. The fried chicken was as dry as the Sahara desert. The fried okra was cold. The hush puppies were all hush with no onions or seasonings at all. The only meat available at the carving station was this sad end of a ham. After I finally got the guy to give me a slice, my joy was turned as cold as it was. The broccoli and cheese was ok. The Mac and cheese was fair, not great but sadly probably the best thing here. I got a salad cause I thought, that'll be good. I can build my own. No. The lettuce was all wilted. One of the tomato slices was rotted. There wasn't even any bacon bits. The dressings had been dribbled into each other and not changed, in fact the lady next to me done exactly that slinging ranch into French. It's pretty sad when even the salad sucks. The only reason I'd give them a star is the waiter, Jeronimo. He was very attentive, checked on us multiple times, and offered to bring us any sauces we may need. I am not a big person, in fact I'm less than 5 feet tall, so when I leave a restaurant and I could still eat, that's very, very sad. It shows you the food in that place sucks. I got two trips in one, first and last! read more

OMG $18.00 a.person you have got to be kidding. Go to the red lobster for less or pay 18$ here for MSG and crap all night. Just horrible. Taking advantage of tourist!!! WARNING STAY AWAY OR STAY IN BATHROOM ALL NIGHT!!! read more

This was a decent buffet. Quality is not great but that is the usual case for buffets. I would say it was A-OK

Tried calling them see about gift cards went through a lot of BS, I never got to speak to anyone. Not happy.

They have well prepared and many tasty food selections. The staff are all friendly, professional and smiling. The kids loved the Chocolate Wonderfall. read more

Standard buffet selections. There are enough choices to eat healthy there. The salad bar was good, broiled fish. Waitress service was good. The senior pricing was reasonable. read more

We felt like this was a great choice for our family of four. Beth, our waitress, was friendly and great to chat with. The food was good, with only a few selections not to our liking. Quality was good all the way around. Men's room was clean. Don't know about the women's. Would come back again. Remember, this is a mid-range buffet, not a four star restaurant. ;) read more

Love love love it!!! The roast is amazing as well as the mashed potatoes and brown gravy. My kids say they have the best macaroni ever at Golden Corral. My kids beg to come here when we are in the area. It's mainly because of the chocolate tower and ice cream. I can't lie I enjoy those too. Great service, great management, and great food!!! We'll be back. read more

I went to this restaurant with 4 people and they over charged me cause they didn't take my coupons off.

Worst place to eat! Waitress was rude and doubled the price! Giving them one star is over kill!
