Went there for lunch today. All was going well, then in walks two older people and their big ass dog. No service vest. And not that the dog was out of control, but you could tell he was not a service animal. I get it was hot out today, but what about maybe keeping the dog home. Or if you feel better about being with your dog, maybe you don't come to packed restaurant and eat at your home with your dog. read more

Golden Corral all you can eat breakfast buffet is my husband and I's guilty pleasure. Only available Friday - Sunday (open at 7:30 am those days). Discounted rate for senior citizens. Piping hot coffee, all the breakfast favorites. Plus, the salad bar and dessert bar is open. Chef will make you a custom omelet. My favorites are the banana bread French toast and the fried potatoes/onions. Can't get enough of either. It is usually pretty crowded on a Saturday morning. There is service staff that clears your plates and keeps your coffee filled. Family atmosphere. Clean. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - My Buffet Plate #1 - breakfast pizza, spinach quiche, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs topped with mushrooms, onions and green peppers. - Buffets Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

We went last Friday and had the breakfast/lunch everything was fresh and tasty. Personal favorite is the banana bread French toast. Their fried chicken is also very good. It was hot and fresh out of the fryers. read more

Reminds me of my father and I. We would go there all the time .It's nice to have a place to eat and have some good comfort food.

customer service sucks, and food was not good the servers were very rude and ignorant i will never eat here again smh this place should be shut down read more

Food is decent. A large variety to please everyone. Watch their Google search. It says Senior Early Bird specials start at 1pm and yet as of now when you show up then they tell you it doesn't start until 1:30pm. They are inconsistent read more

This place just isn't very good. 2nd time I've been here and the food is just.....not great. Workers just walk around with no regard for customers. Almost got ran into by a worker a multiple occasions And no, they weren't in a rush working. The food is super average. It fills you up, so there's that. I would have been just as satisfied eating a sandwich at home . The beef roast was by far the best thing I tried and it was 5/10. Dessert wasn't bad. The carrot cake was actually pretty good though. Service, didn't think there would be much to note, but like I said, they just walk around and expect you to move out of their way. I'm not rude, and I don't expect them to dodge customers like we should be avoided, but I had to go out of my way to avoid them because they didn't care if we would have collided. SHOUT OUT to Laura. She was the best thing about this place. This woman wasn't the only one walking around, but she did appear to be the only one doing anything productive. Laura is doing the job of 4 people while the same can't be said for everyone else. Ambiance is chill. Pretty relaxed and the lighting is bright, which I prefer. It's a good place to just fill up and relax. You could probably do some work in here or just have a quick lunch. All in all this is my last visit. Tried it once, wasn't for me, tried it again, and now I know it's not for me. Maybe IT IS for some, just not my cup of tea. Go at your own risk ‍, but I won't be there. read more

I know it's a family style buffet so my expectations should've never been high but I feel like the quality has really gone down and the price has gone up. I went to use my free birthday meal and the bf got his buffet and our 2 drink and it was like $30. I think that's crazy even on a Sunday. The ribs were clearly boiled and slathered with BBQ sauce. And when I went back up there to the meat part I just kept rolling on by because he was wiping the areas between the trays with the wettest towel you ever did see and was slanging the juices back and forth. The was an older patron by the salad section telling them to clean up the bar because it was dirty. The one thing I can usually count on to be good is the fried chicken and even that was off or not fresh tasting. Also it's just WAY too crowded in there. They need to remove about a third of the tables and redo the seating. It's just a hot mess! read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Buffets Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Lots of food...crowded, but lots of room, and convenient. Lots of parking and a great staff.

The most part is pretty good some days they keep everything out of the food's piping hot and maybe the next time you go they tend to let the food run out so you kind of got a keep an eye out and go up to the buffet right when they put the food out a few times I went for lunch and dinner was just getting ready to start. They was behind. They had a steak ready but that's it. The shrimp wasn't out sliced pork and ham so I went and ate my steak. Went back up there at 4:20. Still didn't have the shrimp out or the pork so here all I got was lunch thank God I got in there before four and paid the lunch price cause I didn't get the dinner stuff they could use better servers to for the most part is pretty good but there are two of them this redheaded woman she picks and shoes so she's gonna wait on if she knows you she takes care of you otherwise she ignores you that you're soda run out. I had to go up two times and have them pour me a soda because she just walks right on by so was that no tip if you don't do your job. read more

Cattle drive through the zig-zag line to get chipped up clear plastic cups made me wish I paid for the larger to-go cups. Value? $18 before 4 on a Saturday (including drink and tax)... they stopped serving beef steak years ago I came in with a shock seeing up-charges posted for small things like to-go silverware and larger cups. The $13 posted price didn't include drink.... However- free refills. Start at the far right to get salad. As you move left the selection becomes more sides then mostly pork, chicken, hamburger and fish is offered. The far left is offering of desserts- I just grab a bite of everything because everything is just a-ok. Grab a hopefully cooler bowl when getting ice cream. I did tip the lady clearing or dirty plates and offering to get us or free refills on drinks. $2-3 per person per person cleaning is good for this busing service? I hope she received at least minimum wage also. I ate more than I should because I felt I paid more than I should. I guess welcome to 2023. read more

SOUTH COUNTY LOCATION Most trays of food were empty. asked and waited for broccoli over a half hour, never was refilled. we asked our waitress to please wipe or table and she snapped and said "if I had a rag I would"! instead of saying I'll be right back with a rag. I witnessed a worker take a tray of green beans and pour off the liquid onto the floor near a drain!!(making a slip hazard) totally unsanitar. We left NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!! read more

How should I react? Repelled? Typical? Really not the cleanest, I will warn you that. Cups, cutlery and plates still have residue and crumbs on the table + floor. Service was decent, dare I say polite and friendly. Prices are good, especially for little tots like my little sis who get to eat for free every tuesday. Food is decent, huge spread of desserts that aren't too sweet. It's better than most buffets I've visited, food is defientley a little more fresh. I do like their mashed potatoes, but I cannot say more. Medicine buffet, watch out and wash your hands before eating. Please don't find that funny. read more

The service was great. We had a waitress named Esme who was always attentive and did a great job. On the other hand, the ambiance and food were mediocre. They're exactly what you would expect from a buffet, and when I was there the food was relatively fresh....if it had sat longer, it might not have been as good. read more

This is not our first time coming here, however the experience wasn't much improved. Food was better quality in some areas, others looked as tho it sat all morning. The lady that comes around and cleans off plates was not the nicest, and you can tell she didn't want to be there. The bathroom was aweful no toilet paper in some stalls it's always hard to find a clean table when we have been there. It would be a great place to go if they would stay on top of food quality, cleaning, and staff attitudes. I have a high functioning autistic son and he wouldn't eat there even after I paid because there was dirty tables everywhere. read more

Honestly, this place is the favorite spot for my two youngest nieces. It has all their favorites, choices, and an ice cream machine they do on their own. The girls aren't foodies and are 4 and 9- so it's basically their Heaven. For me, it's ok. I don't mind going for the most part. The food selection is good - I really like the salad bar and desserts... and being able to nosh on lots of things. The choices really are amazing. Food seems to be made fresh - you can see them food prep and cutting up ingredients. Some items are even cooked in front of you. The dishes are constantly refreshed. Pricing is very fair for the large selection. My least favorite aspects are that it is loud, always busy with too many kids too often running wild (my nieces are always supervised, well mannered, and never allowed to roam on their own). And I wonder about sneeze guard effectiveness -- but I just say my Hail Mary and take one for the team, because the kiddos DO love this place. 4 stars in honor of da nieces. :) read more

How do you run out of bacon at a breakfast buffet? Two weeks in a row? Line of 10 people waiting for it to come out. They said 5 minutes, then waited until it got close enough to 11am then announced "No More Bacon". It's like the soup nazi from Seinfeld, ridiculous not to be able to keep a breakfast staple available. Once, OK things happen. Two weeks in a row, becoming a pattern. read more

Food, facility, and ambiance is very nice, modern, clean, professional, and respectful. Thank you Golden Corral for offering annual Veterans dinner. read more

And what the HELL was that!? Short and sweet: we've been to GC before and it's always been three stars. Across the board. Service, food, atmoshphere, day in, day out, lunch, dinner, etc. Three stars. We came here on a Monday evening ready and gearing up for our three star experience. Where the hell has THIS Golden Corral experience been? The food was great, fresh, hot. The server was killing it. She was nice, friendly, and personable, had plates picked up, drinks refilled, everything. From the moment we were greeted at the entrance at the registers, to the salutations we got on our way out, everything was just five stars. Fingers crossed when we come back it will be another good five star day! read more

Stop here for breakfast on our road trip and I must say some of the breakfast items were really good. The first thing on my mind was to head straight to the omelette section and it's a good thing I've did because it was a line forming which didn't take long. Most of the items like the French toast was good, but the steak in the buffet was overcook and dry. Like any other buffet, you can't try every food item because it just impossible unless you're a constant eater. read more

Restaurant was over capacity upon entry there were maybe 2 tables open but they were dirty. I would say the food is just unlimited tv dinner. The macaroni is basically water , mashed potatoes are sour, okra burnt, and nothing looks appealing. Not to mention everything is over salted and unders seasoned .$50 for two people... might as well go get some banquets from schnucks and save yourself the unworthy pricey and unpleasantly rowdy environment. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!!! I'm here now and just got my money back. Cold food, they not keeping it full they had 3 pieces of chicken and said they will put more out when the three pieces was. Shrimp cold fish cold half empty . The man cooking the steak was sitting on the floor, we never expected this to be this bad read more

Came here with my family. Look when the seniors in the family want to eat at a certain place.. you as the "child" just show up. But this place... dear God. It's the classic text book example of an over paid non-present CEO. 1. The food not bad. 2. The facilities- uhm need a major overhaul. 3. The restaurant - ran out of ice. The local management said it was due the ice maker within the fountain machine not keeping up with demand. 4. Couldn't tip wait staff at the register at the time of payment. So I hope the CEO and board members are paying the waitstaff 20+ an hour. 5. The staff was definitely overwhelmed and over worked... there was not enough staff to man the location. 6. I had to pray I didn't sick... non the serving utensils were cleaned or swapped out. 7. Our server was dragging... how was he expected to handle 10-15 tables with 4+ people and bus the tables. 8. The female managers on duty spent more time gossiping with each other than busing tables. I can go on. In the end I'm glad I got to spend time with family. And this is a prime example that executives are too far removed from the impact of the decisions... at roughly 70 bucks for 3 people...no restaurant should ever run out ice at least. read more

Food & service and price. Cheaper to take our grandkids there than McDonald's for weekend breakfast.

Giving this review a five star review solely because of our server Jason. He was a delight, and very very nice to us when he didn't have to be. He said it was him and only a couple of other people working because everyone called off for the Fourth of July. He could've been short, and brief with us and gone about his business. But he greeted us with a smile and made us feel like he cared. There were no tables open after we already paid, and he opened up a section even when short handed just to to make sure we had somewhere to sit and did the same for another couple. I would want to have Jason as my server every time I come in, and no one else honestly. 5 out of 5 for Jason. read more

Definitely get what you pay for here.... 16 bucks for a buffet that includes mostly frozen foods and low quality meats. It is all you can eat though. The frustrating part of our experience was the ice cream machine was broke and for whatever reason nobody would put an out of order sign on it. We told several different employees about the machine but nobody did anything and unfortunately countless children kept grabbing cones and trying to fill them only to be disappointed. We found ourselves warning customers as they were walking near it when we could. If you want all you can eat cheaply prepared food this is your place. We would consider coming back and giving another chance later. read more

As they say, they know how to feed the crowd but in the most unhygienic way possible. Food is good and cheaper, but extremely unhygienic place to eat. See the attached photos. Good thing is that they have a huge collection of different types of food. A salad bar is also available. read more

I've gone to this restaurant multiple times as a kid and it was always an amazing experience, however this past time I was highly disappointed. The place was dirty and unkempt. The food tasted spoiled and was either overly salted or not salted at all. For almost $25 this was not at all worth it. The only good thing about it was that the busser was quick to clear plates and refill our drinks. The dessert spread was a disaster with smashed pies and a slimy ice cream and icee mess (which BOTH machines weren't working and had no sign or anything on them to pertain that) and cookies that tasted rotten and banana pudding that was slimy and separated. The mac n cheese tasted like a frozen TV dinner along with the bland cold green beans. read more

I went to Golden Corral 2x in March and had a few issues with the food. Since management told me those issues would be addressed I returned on 4/6/23. This time the food was fresh, hot, seasoned well, and cooked properly. Everything tasted very good. The butterfly shrimp were huge and crispy. The battered cod fish was fried so you could get individual pieces. Fried chicken was hot, crispy and juicy. Steak, meatloaf, green beans, catfish, etc... all cooked very well. The waitress in my area was very nice and attentive. She removed empty plates and refilled drinks in a very timely manner. I definitely will be returning and recommend this buffet to others. read more

Food is terrible. Service is awful took 30 minutes for a refill of fr pepper. The atmosphere was sketchy.

If I could give less then one star I would. The experience here gets worse and worse. I used to love bringing my kids here but now I'm not sure I'd bring my worst enemy. I've tried to give it a few chances thinking maybe some people were just having a bad day. The service is horrible, staff is rude, nothing is ever filled, the food temperature is unacceptable. I'm sorry this location has went so down hill. read more

If I could give them a one star, I would. The food was bland, every tray was nearly empty (few were refilled while we were there), no service, and there was poop smeared on the womens restroom wall. I cannot explain how just dirty this environment was. I do not recommend spending money or time here. Just spend your $16 dollars elsewhere. Everything was sticky. Do not eat here. read more

I usually go once or twice a month. I absolutely love the chuckroast - tender, tasty beef slow- roasted with onions, celery, carrots and taters. Just cant get it anywhere else. However, while I can't complain about any of the food or the service, the condition of the restaurant overall is deteriorating quickly. The restroom is ghastly, with broken locks on the doors, toilet paper scattered on the floor, overflowing waste bins, frequently out of toilet paper in the stalls, only one soap dispenser works, and the water nozzles are broken and rotate freely (they're not supposed to). The coat hangers on the inside of the stalls are all broken off so there's no place to put your purse except on the dirty floor. The final straw was this evening when I set my purse on the sink to wash my hands. A large, full-grown German cockroach started crawling up my purse. I managed to fling him off before he got inside and got a free ride home - makes me shudder. If there's one visible cockroach, there are hundreds if not thousands living in dark and secret places. It makes my skin crawl, and I feel slightly nauseous thinking about what may have been in my food. I wont be back. I'm done. read more

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." A little background on me. I'm a 38 year old obese young professional that enjoys a stiff drink and good buffet in his free time. Both my personal and professional lives are currently fucked and every passing day makes the sweet release of death seem like a warm embrace. I was in the area so I stopped into the Golden Corral to see what all the fuss was about. I paid $12.96 to gain entry and obtain a fountain Diet Coke. At this point, you can explore the room. to your right is the soup/salad area. As you shuffle to the left, you move on to the more savory items and it all ends with a dessert station. Plate 1: Nachos - You can't screw up chips and cheese. This was one of the few things that i enjoyed. Taco meat - This tasted like a mixed up chili meat soup. Id call it one of the worst things here, but... Steakburger slider - This was the worst fucking thing ive ever taken two bites of. The second bite was strictly to punish myself for all the shitty life choices that led up to eating here. It was worse than the grade school burger patties we all ate as kids...back when we knew that being a grown up was gonna be awesome, in part because you dont have to eat shitty burgers. Avoid this item at all cost. Side note: The slider station had a toppings bar. The bacon and onions were delightful. I would use these toppings on the grilled cheese. Pizza - The crust was really good but the cheese/sauce/toppings used tasted like a sugar substitute. It was bizarre. When the diarrhea hits, im assuming this item will be the culprit. I bought the ticket so ill take the ride. Mac n cheese - not bad. better than dying of AIDS. Popcorn shrimp - Edible Yeast Roll - These looked good but tasted like what im assuming an abortion tastes like. Avoid, unless you impregnate with butter. I ate a few bites of each item...marveling at how gross this place compared to how shitty my life has become if my only entertainment is to ironically visit buffets for reviewing purposes. Fuck my life. This place is scary. On to plate 2 Grilled Cheese - pretty good! I added onion and bacon. This was the best item by far. Fried Chicken - I got one piece because at this point i wanted to leave. The breading tasted like nothing. I did not continue eating this item. French Fries - How did you fuck these up? They had a weird processed twang to them. Dessert was great. Kids will love the chocolate fountain, and the soft serve was above average. I overdid the gummy bears on a separate plate mostly just to see how they will interact with the rest of the toxic sludge that was shoveled into my body. A lady took away 2 mostly full plates and refilled my drink so i gave her 2 bucks...making the total $14.96 In summation, this place is pure shit. As i left, i might've seen a guy pissing by his truck (did not confirm) and it hit me...This is where you belong. These are your people now. It's time accept that fact or walk into traffic. read more

Service was good, all the staff and the waitress were very attentive and polite. Food was pretty good, fresh and decent tasting. The only problem there is the type of customers that go. Very filthy scary people without masks, covered in dirt, with dirty hands and nails touching all the tongs. Not to be rude, but they looked like they came straight out of the Texas Chainsaw movies. The tongs to grab food were very sticky and I was kind of disgusted while serving my food. They should just have stricter sanitation policies and replace the tongs with clean ones more regularly. read more

Food was good and food bars were well stocked and bathrooms were clean. Line was short so got to eat right away.
