The all-you-can-eat concept here is great and the variety is impressive, but wow... someone in the kitchen must really love salt. A lot of the dishes were noticeably on the salty side, which made it tough to fully enjoy more than a few plates without reaching for a lot of water. That said, the selection is huge, the food comes out quickly, and the staff keeps everything moving smoothly. If they dialed back the salt just a bit it would easily be a 5-star experience. Still a solid spot if you're hungry and want plenty of options. read more

I really wanted to like this location for lunch, but the food was very subpar, cold hot items, and my cake slices were stale. Everything tasted like it was left out and recycled from the previous day. The iceberg lettuce in the salad bar was turning brown as much of it wasn't fresh. For the price I had to fork out I should have expected better quality not less. The customer service was great just not the food. read more

The food was good, and the place was very clean. My issue was the lack of service. Now, the host and other staff were great--no complaints there. Our issue ( we were a party of three people ), was that our waitress never came by to collect plates, nor to offer us refills [ not even ONCE ]. Upon several occasions, we had to go up and obtain our own. I was rather furious: first, because one of our party was handicapped, and unbeknownst to me until he had then informed me that she had not been coming around. He had to go up and get his own. Yet she had no problem, waiting on the other surrounding tables of people. We were contemplating to not even tip her, yet in the end we did--but only out of obligation. Still, everything else was good. Just not our waitress. read more

0 stars! I hadn't been there in a while. I remembered the old school Golden Corral with the steaks and all. Took my two children, and walked around and was looking for that steak and corn on the cob kind of grub. I then looked around the corner and see two roaches crawling in the mash potatoes and my 19 yo daughter comes to me saying my 12yo son just saw a baby roach on the table getting out of the napkin dispenser! I told the waitress and she got the manager for us. Manager; Eric white man in his late maybe early 40's red Manager shirt. Comes all nice at first I set him aside tell him I'm not going to cause a seen but we just witness a roaches he then said " oh we have a bad exterminator" I said well you guys need to close the place down is not safe- he replied" no I'll just give you passes to come next time" I replied " NO! At this point I demand my refund!?? Now! He changed his whole perspective and demeanor and acted like a Diqqq* He then Asked me how long was I here and demanded my receipt, I stayed quiet showed him my receipt and thought to myself -this is beyond the point dude! I just watched his steps made sure he refunded me the money! This is not a fair event where I get passes like why would I come back after I just saw roaches crawling in food!?? What a moron! Hey!! Eric eat a roach Huey! People do not DO NOT GO TO EAT HERE!! Roaches in the food!!! Please!! They don't care about you! How can you improve GET RID OF THE CURRENT MANAGEMENT BOMB THE PLACE SAFETY FIRST!!! read more

Worse food ever i wish i could give 0 stars . Dont fall for the looks of it all the food is terrible almost threw up after eating the beef liver. I cant believe i paid 23 bucks to eat here they couldnt pay me to eat here again. read more

We went there for dinner last Saturday at 6 pm, and Very disappointed., The place was dirty., we saw a baby cockroach next to the soup., I told the cook (she and he) and she saw too that cockroach move around, and other customer saw too.. I will never eat that place again, its disgusting. read more

I hate to rate any establishment 1 star but....the food used to be really good here. Now it's just not that good. Mushy food. We used to go here just for the hot bread. But now it's like a rock. Tough steak, sour fruit, almost no salad bar. A lot fewer selections. However the waitress was busting her butt. We gave her a nice tip. It looked like she was alone for the entire place. If you're losing customers it's mainly because of food quality. read more

Most horrific experience I've ever had. My first time there food was hard, cold, and dry. Potatoes had no seasoning , everything just a very bad experience. I will never go there again I can see why they are closing down these restaurants. I don't suggest anyone go here to eat. Management didn't even refund me. It was so bad my 4 yr old didn't even want to eat yea close this place down also read more

The staff was friendly and the food was well prepared. I especially liked all the variety. I appreciate the senior discount, the place was clean, and well stocked. I have no complaints. read more

I use to take my family here monthly after church and the food was great and people working there was much friendlier than now. The meat were okay but many of the vegatbles seemed yo have been left out for a while. In the past, the trays were swapped out more regular and the entrees were not cold. There needs to be some policy put in place to make sure parents accompany their younger children when they want food from the buffet. Have more sanitation stations for people to wash their hands. read more

They never answer the phone. literally have called this place numerous times different Days this month, and have not gotten one single answer. they need to take their business more serious. read more

These people never answer their phone so it causes a great deal of frustration when you have questions to ask before you take your family over and they never answer. So needless to say, I just take my business elsewhere!!! read more

I haven't been to a Golden Corral in a number of years my guess, 7+? Golden Corral is never a culinary gem, but I was suprised to see such a low score. You go to Golden Corral to get as much quantity, variety as you can. The staff was pleasant. My table person cleared my bowl of soup that I didn't touch, but a fair error. The place was your standard Golden Corral and I'm glad to see they survived the Pandemic. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Rare steak. I thought for the price point it was perfect. - Buffets Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This location served the WORST food I have ever eaten at a Golden Corral. I have NEVER had a bad steak at a Golden Coral and I took one bite & threw it out. The icebergs lettuce was brown. Every single item I had was old and not fresh in the least. Absolute worst food experience I have ever had at a Golden Corral. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the young lady at the register was so sweet and our server Tina was such a hard worker, super sweet, and we never had to ask for our drink to be filled. These two ladies made the experience of the bad food easier to digest. read more

Today 11/5/25 lunch was terrible. It was only 12 noon and the pans were bare. No hamburgers no onion rings and no one seemed to care. The server was the highlight. The food was a serious letdown read more

Come for Thanksgiving lunch around 12am, there already lone until outside the door, but it doesn't take too long until we get the seat. The service are good, the restaurant also nice & clean. The food bit too salty for me, my favorite is the street chicken. They keep adding the food. Once we finish eating the line outside is getting longer. Don't be surprised of the price, because for the Thanksgiving is different. read more

Food taste old ...salads look dried out ...cinnamon roll was hard ...bathroom looked dirty...

This restaurant was mediocre. It had its shares of good and bad. The food was as expected not 100% good but not entirely bad. The environment was pretty nice however, a little bit of mess. The service was quite good for a buffet. They gave us our eating utensils and let us go on our way. read more

I attend for the monthly Ham Radio club meeting. The service is solid. Living in the desert, I don't expect much in the seafood department, however the baked fish is really, really good! I will pile on the fish and sautéed mushrooms until I pop! Good selection of other typical buffets including lots of salad choices and a fair amount of dessert options. read more

Excellent food!! Friendly servers and cashiers. This place is very clean including the restrooms. I wish you were nearer to Phoenix we wool come again though. read more

I used to be a fan of Golden Corral. Maybe lunch buffets at this place fall below the standard for dinner, but this was one of the worst meals I've eaten in a while. Nothing the staff could do to make it better. It's just not good food. You can salvage a meal out of a salad, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes. But the general poor quality of the rest of the buffet makes for a real disappointing experience. Give me enough time to forget, I will probably come back at another location and wonder why I didn't refresh my memory with this review first. The promise of an all-you-can eat buffet can only be fulfilled by Chinese buffets in this day and age. Golden Corral doesn't cut it. read more

Decent food , large variety, steak cooked to order helpful waiters, they don't have trays any more.. hard to carry plates

It's a vegetarian I loved coming here because of all of the vegetable options. I filled my plate with broccoli, green beans, Brussel, sprouts, cabbage, which is one of my favorites. Then I'll add some scalloped or mashed potatoes. Or I'll get a baked potato. I also like getting their salad with various fresh veggies. I have a ton to eat without eating any of the meat options. Also, at the end, I can try a few different desserts. Which is always fun. To take a sliver of a piece of carrot cake, for example. read more

I really enjoy the wide range of food and dessert options available at Golden Corral. The staff is also very friendly. Although the decor is a bit outdated, the overall experience is enjoyable. For me, Golden Corral holds a special place in my heart as it brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood when I used to love coming here and mixing up all the desserts read more

My opinion of Golden Corral. I will say for those on a budget feeding a fussy family, this restaurant is a popular way to go. Also, if you are having a small group banquet, this place could appease a lot of different people. My opinion of the food is mediocre at best. There is nothing special about any of it. Today was the last time I plan to go into one. Before I start into my problems with the way they manage the place, I want to state that my mother is 98 years old, a veteran, and eats a helping the size of a Happy Meal burger and fries. Her food intake size hasn't changed since she was 97, and I have an ID to prove her age. Last year, the league I bowl in held their banquet there. Mom wasn't feeling really well stomach wise but went. They wouldn't allow her in without paying for a full Senior buffet. No, they didn't have a single serving meal available. At that time, they didn't have children's prices. So, we paid the $15 (this was the food plus they charged for our sodas). I didn't over fill her plate (as she doesn't walk well with a walker, and asks us to fill her plate at an event like this. She took 3 bites and was done. $15 for 3 bites. So, I asked for a TOGO container. You'd have thought that I asked for a free meal. After some arguing they brought us a container. This year, the league decided to return to Golden Corral. I went online and saw that they served single meals, so I thought we could do this. They now have children's banquets as well, which are $5 cheaper. Now $5 isn't a lot, but I knew she wouldn't eat much. After they told me they couldn't give me the children's price and the cashier knew nothing about a single serving meal, I asked to talk to the manager, which we waited over 15 minutes for. Now I think that they are afraid that this 5'1" 102 pound lady would eat a whale's worth of food, but seriously. Golden Corral refused to work with us. 1. They said to sit in on the bowling table, she would have to pay. They offered us the Senior discount, which was $13.89 a plate, and is what I would have payed for my meal. Add on the drink $3, and she still wouldn't eat what was paid. 2. They would not let her pay for a kid's meal, although she would eat less than a 5 year old. 3. They would not let her have a single serving meal as "they are only sold to be eaten outside of restaurant". 4. They offered to let us buy a pound of food at $9.99 (still more than the child sized meal), but she couldn't sit with the rest of us. Maybe they need to set an age limit above 90 at which the they could work with people on a discount. Needless to say, we won't be going back there, and if the bowling banquet continues to be held there, we won't be attending. read more

Alright basic Golden Corral good yeast rolls decent small bits of steak that you basically have to hold somebody hostage to get too dirty children fingers all over the dessert tables but food is well Golden Corral quality if that's what they call it. Not amazing you get what you pay for quantity right? Salad bar easily a highlight And I've always had a thing for the nana puddin reminds me of my late grandfather. I'll always go back to gc for the nostalgia and the fact I can eat myself sick for 13 $ and some change. read more

Oh my lord where to begin! Ok first off upon walking in, there weren't many changes made from before the fire. There are no longer trays provided to carry your drinks and prepackaged silverware! Note their forks and knives are individually wrapped, yet spoons for soups or desserts are out in the open! Now the promising part upon entry was I paid lunch price, but dinner service was beginning in a few minutes! Next in the promising front, you can once again serve yourself, you must be masked and there are boxes of plastic gloves located throughout the buffet! Sadly that's where the promising beginning ended! The food just looked sad, literally I could feel it's pain, and taste it's salty tears! And I mean that literally! Every thing I tasted was just so incredibly salty it was virtually inedible! The fried chicken was the only salvation, but it was barely lukewarm! The steaks were flat out disgusting, so salty you could feel you blood pressure rising just smelling them! The soups were old and sad, and starting to dry up and curdle, mainly because there were no lids on the soup urns. Gross! This was just a sad experience, and to be honest this was the worst food I've ever tasted! And no yeast rolls either! If you like your food old and mushy, dry and crusty, or saltier than a salt lick, then this place is for you, if not, avoid this place like the plague! No pun intended! Just bad all the way around! read more

It felt like a middle school cafeteria. my wife has kept me on the living room couch tonight due to concerning bowel movements moments after consuming meatloaf. The vanilla ice cream looked like banana pudding The ground beef looked like cat food My child choked on the dehydrated biscuit I complained but then the staff looked like the was gonna jump me read more

Sorry to say it, but absolutely nothing tasted GREAT. I mean they had bland food. This was in Tucson AZ. We have no plans to return to a Golden Corral restaurant because of this experience. Not worth it. But hey, others may like it. Only went to take a family member there and yes, she liked it. The service was good but that's likely because they were in a hurry to close up & go home. They could do a better job with signage indicating where the main courses, beverages, and desserts are located in the restaurant and also where the individual items are so people can know what food they are about to ingest. read more

I rarely leave reviews. Came here with my fiancé for Christmas after being on the road for past 4 days. It was extremely busy but the staffs were hardworking and nice. However, I want to give extra and special shoutout to Thomas who made my Christmas even brighter and warmer. He was really caring, sweet, and hardworking. The plates were piling up left and right and he was one of the very few that kept coming back to clean. If people observed his effort, I think many will agree as a lot of them were complaining about no one coming to clean the tables. Thanks to him, people were seated faster and able to enjoy their food. I would like to say he was the HERO at Golden Corral on Christmas! Thank you Thomas for all your hard work and continuously doing the best you can without a smile on your face! I truly appreciate you! read more

Would rate 0 stars if i could. Price seemed okay at 17.99 but then you have to buy a drink. I got a small water and it was $3.49. For water?! Food was okay, nothing special. Kids running around everywhere. So loud and overwhelming. Power went out 10 minutes into our meal and an alarm started going off. Had to leave. Such a waste of my money, never coming back. Absolutely horrible. read more

Eating at GC on thanksgiving day and no turkey worth eating. All there was were scraps and pieces of turkey, mostly dark meat, swirling around in a greasy broth. Disgusting. Checked both sides. The white meat available was small pieces that were overcooked and tough. Did not eat it as it was so bad. Asked if fresh turkey available and told by two employees who cut the meat it would be a long wait. What? No turkey on Thanksgiving? Poor planning on someone's part. Very disappointed. No scalloped or au gratin potatos. No pickelled beets in salad bar either. Ham had no flavor or texture. If I hadn't seen in cut from the whole ham I would have thought it was processed. Not worth $20! read more

The food was cold and did not task good. I will not go to another Golden Corral in my life time.

Worst experience ever. I get a free buffet for my birthday every year and it's such a treat for me. The service is usually pretty decent and so is the food although your stomach feels irritated shortly after consumption. Anyways, this time I tried using my buffet like normal and Debbie the cashier gave me such a hard time. She made me wish I hadn't come here. Even now my blood is boiling and really put a damper on the entire meal. She kept saying the free buffet is only for dinner and I politely told her that the coupon said nothing about it having to be dinner. And she said in a matter of fact way, eye rolling in her tone, "well yeah, but that's how everyone does it because it's more expensive. It's like $14 something for dinner so yeah.. but I'll do it this one time for you." Who cares how everyone does it?! It's not on the coupon. Then she said irritated, "oh and happy birthday." Slide card. Really? Really? If an establishment doesn't want something, clarify it before we drive clear across town to enjoy a nice, pleasant birthday meal. The mini burgers which are usually so divine were extremely tough... I felt like I was going to break a tooth. The grilled cheese was also really hard and the pizza had fly's buzzing around them, landing a few times. Like I said, super disappointed. The waitress on the hand was nice. So nothing against her. read more
