It's a buffet so whatever you are craving is probably available. And it's nice that there is a carving station with ham and steaks. My daughter ordered a steak and they cooked it just right. I definitely want to give a shout out for the delicious rolls and the dessert portion with so many options. And the self serve soft serve ice cream stand with chocolate, vanilla and swirl is available too with hot fudge or caramel toppings available. read more

Large buffet with something for everything in the average family. Lots of proteins: various forms of chicken, beef, and fish.  Many vegetables to please a parent if their child ate them. A decent, small salad bar that has dried cranberries (nice addition).  The 1000 Island dressing is fat free. They have a grill, and depending on the time, you can get breakfast items to steaks. Plastic gloves are provided throughout the restaurant for you to use while getting your food, but I noticed many people skipping using them. read more

My wife and I had breakfast today. Had breakfast and there was a large selection. Even had fried chicken. Many desserts. All good quality and good taste. Had a warm reception from our attendant. The price is amazing. Under $12 a person! Left a tip of a few dollars. All went so well and we have eaten at many Golden Corrals. For us, this was a good one. read more

Such friendly servers and decent food . Depending on the time of day might be a little chittry but its a buffet .

So I had never been to a Golden Corral but I always wanted to, so one day I was the mood and gave it a try. It was exactly what I expected. Nothing really shines and some things are just bad, yet I still appreciate it for what it is. I went to dinner first and then a couple weeks later tried the breakfast. For dinner the highlight for me was the meatloaf. It had a nostalgic taste to it. It's crappy, kind of tastes like dog food, but I still kind of like none the less. The other standout was the dessert. A lot of them were surprisingly good. I tried going here on thanksgiving cause nothing else was open, but when I saw the line, I walked straight out. The crowd was the size of a Taylor Swift concert. read more

Food was good but waitress was doing makeup and dealing cocaine in the back plus I found hair in the fish which I know for a fact was not mine read more

The food is hit or miss. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it isn't. My wife likes the pot roast and the bourbon chicken. The fried okra would be good if it was actually hot. Last few times I have been there it was Luke warm. Same with mashed potatoes. The battered fried shrimp had a strange after taste I didn't eat the rest of it hush puppies were disappointing. Salad bar had a good selection dessert bar wasn't bad. The food like I said is hit or miss. But you will be at least entertained by the people who come there to eat. It's never a dull moment that's for sure. read more

Decided to try out the delivery service from the Golden Corral app. Every time I've ordered food from Golden Corral from their app, it wound up getting cancelled by the restaurant. This time the restaurant cancelled it AFTER the dasher supposedly picked up the order already and we never got our food. I'm never going to use their app again or even go to this restaurant for having my money stolen. I really hope the pending transaction doesn't go through, and if they do, I'm going to go through any channels i can find to get my money back. If you want Golden Corral, either go physically or don't order at all. They clearly can't do delivery right. read more

you get a lot of food for a little bit of money here ! you can eat this and be good for the day good healthy options as well amazing service

Gross. Save your money go elsewhere. Dinner buffet and a drink $20. Shrimp wasn't big enough to even call it popcorn shrimp. Battered fish needs seasoning. We were there at 7pm and many items were dried up or in the pan too long. Most food was not appealing. The steak was tasty, ribs had odd flavor, the bread pudding was the only thing hot and it was very good. read more

It is not very often anymore that we find a Golden Corral while we are traveling. I see a lot of bad reviews on here but our visit was just fine. Our waitress came to our table 3 to 4 times, filled our drinks, and took away any empty plates. If I had to give one negative was that it was BUSY !! But you aren't going to be busy if you aren't doing something right. I would definitely go back again. read more

Go for the steak; stay for the water... I'm not sure what happened to this place but it went south quick. With a $15 price tag for all you can eat I don't expect sushi, but I know for $4 more than that you can get crab legs elsewhere. It seems as though they are focusing on the steak for this price. The steak isn't bad, maybe a 4 out of 5 stars, but literally everything else on the buffet is horrible "aside from desert." Catfish that's so dry you'd swear it was on the National Lampoons movie, deep fried items soaked in a bed of oil, meats laying in grease. It really seems as though you walked into a truck stop, but instead of paying $7.00 you pay $15 because they have steak. So I say this; if you're going for meat hit a Brazilian place, if you're going for a general buffet hit a truck stop and save yourself $8. read more

Good selection of food, buffet was stocked and kept up. Very friendly wait staff and good service.

Visited Mar 7, 2022 @ 1640 hrs. Your corn and green beans are really nasty. No taste what so ever. You had very little of anything. Wish you would put a slotted spoon in the beans. Had a hard time getting the juice out as there was more juice than beans! I was able to get some roast but why did you have a spoon for the roast? Where was the fork? Was really hard to pick out or up small pieces. Your dessert area had very little desserts to choose from. Your bread pudding was disgusting! I tried your banana pudding but you had so much topping on it, that it tasted nasty! That's being nice about everything I tried to eat! I was only able to eat the roast, white beans, and so-called cornbread. Wanted to give you a big fat '0' ZERO but you don't have that option. read more

It's bait and switch on line they offer Veterans free meal but when you get there they change the day to Monday the 13th Veterans Day isn't Monday it's today as what they offered online the manager said they changed it then change it online but will give a meal at the regular price bait and switch read more

As soon as you walk through the inviting doors you are sure to be greeting with the warmest smile. The person at the counter at which you pay is super happy and radiant. Although the wait can be long, it is well worth the amazing home-cooked food. The smell of this place is like that of a Baptist Church on fellowship Sundays. Our server was very occupied most of the time, but we were taken care of. I have been a server several times, so I know what it's like. All in all with the family friendly atmosphere and the fantastic food, this place is a solid 5/5! I would recommend to anyone that asks. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Waiting in line and still happy! - Buffets Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I think of GC as the fast food of home cooking. The fried chicken is some of the juiciest, crispy chicken I've had. Real mashed potatoes and every vegetable you could ever want. Got to send kudos to the grill chef Andrew! The Man can grill medium rare, it's flavorful and tender. You don't often find a decent steak cooked properly that's not a steak house. The pot roast is as good as Mom's. For a fast hot meal with lots of options, it's great. read more

excellent service ,tasty food and now no feeling of difference compared to before pandemic. I would like to see more fresh fruit variety and onion rings. read more

I rate eating establishments on five criteria: Cleanliness Staff Abilities Quality of Food Quantity of Food Food Presentation This Golden Corral is well managed and clean. I have been here twice in two weeks and both times the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food is average but wide ranging to fit every appetite. The food quality is good for the type of establishment it is. As for presentation it is a serve yourself setup so no comment. read more

Very little selection of items slow cleaning tables ate diner (30-45 minutes) never able to get a steak I would avoid the restaurant

This restaurant went above and beyond for me today. I ordered DoorDash for my mom in Springfield. I live in California. I wanted her to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner but, there was a mixup. Golden Corral fixed the problem and she loved the dinner. Thank you!! read more

Staff was great, but the food in general was mediocre at best. Overpriced for the quality of food. Dinner for 2 came out around $36.

Ok. Seriously. Walk in and get ready to be robbed. $37 for two. Already not feeling good about this. Look, you're better off going anywhere else. The selection is garbage. I was handed a sirloin steak that looked like it had been on the grill for 1 second. If you're into poisoning yourself for dinner, this is the place to go. read more

You can update or refurbish an interior to make the surroundings feel posh. If the service is lacking, tables are dirty, and the environment is messy-including the food service areas and half the food is burnt-then it ain't posh. Won't be back. read more

Ah, ye olde "Golden trough." I have no clue why the stigma is attached. The stigma being that these large buffet type restaurants cannot have food that tastes good. It is a lie. At least it is for this one. Golden Corral does make food in bulk, they do provide-almost demand to you overeat, and have all of those grubby little kid germs all around you. Don't you love it. I can't tell you why I find it so compelling, but for what it is--this trough does it well. You should go on kid's night (Tuesdays?). They have a balloon animal guy that rocks the rubber right out of your hands. Ask for anything. You'll get it, kinda like the buffet. Just like smoothing things over with a good friend: "It's all good! read more

Many choices, choose hamburger was like eating shoe leather. Fries were as hard as a rock. Quantity not quality. Will probably not make another visit here.Working in a restaurant there is always something to do. A number of staff just seemed to be holding conversations while there appeared to be work to be done. read more

In the past we have gone with a family of four and we're pleased. However in a post Covid era cramming people in shoulder to shoulder in a line for food is no longer okay. It also seems like the price has jumped a lot in the 18 months since we were here last. read more

not bad- I like the weekend breakfast. Dinner is ok for the price I guess. I'm not a huge fan of buffets but they have a good selection and the staff is always friendly read more

My wife and I had reserved this restaurant to cater our wedding in Springfield. We had been in contact with them for over month before our wedding date and have emails confirming dates and times, as well as one on one phone calls where times and dates were discussed. At our wedding, they were supposed to show up at 4:00 pm and after an hour and a half we called and not one person we talked to had any idea about our wedding and offered no form of resolution or understanding. Very disappointed, think twice before catering as you may not receive any service at all! read more

Golden Corral is a love hate relationship. I love that it's a big buffet with a variety of food. One plate you can feast on a large cooked to order steak and the next plate could have your hot pizza slice sitting next to your mountain of nachos. You also have a huge salad bar with freshly cut fruits, 3 types of salad and all the fixings any salad connoisseur would need, but no meal is complete without dessert. And Golden Corral does desserts! They have dessert options that could easily satisfy any sweet tooth. I'm pretty sure Golden Corral has the only running chocolate fountain in Springfield, MO. It literally looks like a roaring waterfall of chocolate. But with all that said, I give it 3 stars because sometimes less is more and unfortunately to keep costs down (somewhat) taste and flavor and just sheer quality of the food is sacrificed. None of the items on the bar is gonna win a MasterChef trophy, in fact I'm sure if Gordon Ramsay came into Golden Corral to eat he would drop more F Bombs than ever and spit the food out as soon as it touched his tongue. But it is edible and it is decent. And it is worthy of its price. You can get a full 3 course meal for around 13 bucks. But that's only on the weekdays. Weekend prices goes up. Yes, you heard me right. Prices are different from the weekdays and weekends. Eater beware. You will be paying more on the weekends. And with an attraction such as Golden Corral, it does bring a crowd. This place is busy from open to close. Someone will always be in front of you and behind you. Being busy does have its disadvantages such as trying to keep the buffet bar clean and free from fallen food. A lot of times it seems cleanliness isn't important. So you will be exposed that. So in summary, you want lots of food, and it's on a weekday... then go for Golden Corral. Golden Corral has its time and place, I appreciate that it's here but it's good to know what you are getting when you sit down at the table. read more

Food is always good! The staff tries hard it seems to me. Be hungry to get your money's worth!

Food was Nasty! The chicken and fish were overcooked, the food was either over seasoned or under seasoned, the deserts were revolting. The only good thing in that resturaunt was the ice cream. Everything else made me want to vomit. Not worth the over priced admition. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Springfield. They have a beautiful variety of dishes to choose from. I had a tempura battered fish fillet that was so good. Their mashed potatoes are spot on. My husband had a steak he said was very goo and very tender. The dessert area has cotton candy, ice cream, a variety if pies, cakes, bread pudding and a chocolate fountain. Two negative things would be my feet stuck to the bathroom floor and they need to work on their cooking techniques for cooking shrimp. I love shrimp but it just wasn't good. Very over cooked and greasy. read more
