    We came on a Monday afternoon lunch hour. Had the lunch buffet. All the food was hot and fresh. No lines. Fast and friendly service Good desserts. Place is cleaner and cheaper than most locations. Pumpkin pie and banana cream pie. It was nice and quiet inside as the lunch rush has not arrived.

    Completely raw cabbage

    Absolutely terrible. I love Golden Corral but this one is disgusting. It's clean but the food is the worst I've seen. The staff is completely uninterested in bettering this place. They all look miserable and act miserable towards the customers. All the food was either missing or completely dried out. Please close this location or get new cooks/ manager. Seriously doing a disservice to the brand. My 2nd time at this location and it was the same.

    Is this horrific  or what?! How brain-dead stupid do you have to be to be able to cook this to 134 degrees? In the trash it goes!

    I went for years and wouldn't even consider going to a Golden Corral. I was definitely being a food snob when it came to even thinking about trying it. I just assumed that it was your typical garbage. Then one time while we were traveling, we stopped in Tennessee in the Dollywood area to stay overnight. There was some gorgeous parks in the area so we decided to stay a couple of days. Our hotel was right next to a Golden Corral. So for some reason we ended up eating there. I was completely blown away by the quality of the food. It was astronomically better than I expected it to be. Homemade pot roast cooked the way it's supposed to be. The fried chicken was delicious. Shrimp was cooked to perfection. the mashed potatoes were real potatoes that have proper seasoning and flavor. Vegetables were fresh and delicious. Tremendous salad bar. I was in shock! For the money, it was honestly one of the best deals I have ever experienced to this day for food. Yeah I know what fine dining is. I have eaten in some of the finest restaurants in this country and Europe. This is not fine dining. But it's not supposed to be either. This is just good ol Sunday afternoon at Grandma's, southern American fare. That is if it is cooked correctly. And that brings us to this place. You couldn't butcher this food any worse if you tried! Unless you are fortunate enough to eat here on a day where they change the cooking oil, it is very common to taste the rancidity and burnt flavor of the oil. The chicken is horrifically, and I mean HORRIFICALLY overcooked consistently. And it's so sad. The corporation behind this organization really has their head together. Based on my foodie prejudices, I can't believe I'm saying that. But I have experienced it firsthand in a properly run place. No kidding folks, the food at Golden Corral can be really, really good if you're looking for just some good ol elbows on the table American fare. The fried chicken recipe is delicious. The breading is really excellent. But it is so consistently over cooked here that the meat literally splits from being overheated. And this brined chicken, that is so juicy and delicious when it's cooked properly, literally becomes a nightmare. It's not once, twice, or three times that this happens. Every freaking time...every freaking day. As I'm writing this I'm sitting at the table in the restaurant having come here for the New York steak special. Please see the picture I posted of the New York strip. It must have literally been cooked to 175 to 180 degrees. The exact same thing happened last weekend as well. And it's a very good piece of meat. Is this 40 day aged prime beef? Of course it's not. But it is perfectly good choice beef. I would imagine a whole cryovac version of this New York steak would set you back $150 or so from the store. It's like whoever's cooking these things are literally brain-dead stupid. I mean, you're not a cook. Just because you're cooking, doesn't make you a cook. A real cook makes good food. A real cook has pride. I real cook has standards. A real cook knows how to use a timer and a thermometer. A real cook gives a crap! I can only assume they're paying these people minimum wage and they're just hiring anybody that's ever cooked anything in their life. It is literally a sin what they do to what is relatively good food. This place could be so much better if they just hired quality cooks. No disrespect to the people cooking here. I hope you're all great people. But you do not know how to cook! You need proper training. And you're definitely not getting in here. The staff is nice and friendly. The waiters and waitresses are consistently attentive. The kids sticking their fingers in the chocolate fountain is a nightmare. But other than that, this is exactly what it ought to be for its genre. But the cooks! They're not. And it is literally ruining this place! Go down south and eat at one of these if you ever have the opportunity. It's perhaps the best food you will ever eat in your life for the money. If there is a regional manager who reads this - what in the world is wrong with you? And hey corporate management - just because a franchise is making you money, doesn't mean it's not ruining your brand! PS The first few pictures posted here - they are not from food actually cooked here. These are corporate Glamour shots inserted with the intent to run interference from the actual pictures posted. I assume the hope is that you will look at those pictures and think that's the food you're going to get here. It absolutely is not! Scroll past those and look at the real pictures. Those glamour shots are quite literally what the food could be here if someone knew how to cook.

    Last week, my friend and I visited The Eagle before the 7:30 showing of Beauty and the Beast on its…read moreopening night. Now, I am going to take you on a journey just like the books Belle read so strap in. We had a 5:45 PM reservation, and even arrived a few minutes early. The hostess/employee (I don't want to assume positions) took me upstairs for a table right by the window, which will be an awesome view when the construction finishes. It was also a beautiful sight of that part of the city as-is. When I was seated, I was one of a few tables seated. It was not full or even busy at that time. Also, as we were seated, we were given waters. My friend joined me about 5-7 minutes after the reservation time. We then ordered our drinks at about 6:00/6:05 PM. From there, we waited and did not meet our waiter, who will be referred to as sweet baby angel Max from here on out, until about 6:20 PM. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees at around this time. Our orders had some modifications but nothing major. By this time, many more tables were seated upstairs and others seemingly received their alcoholic drinks and even appetizers by the time we received only our drinks around 6:30-6:40. Our drinks were big, too, which is great, but that also meant we had to drink them a little more quickly due to the time constraints with the show. We were enjoying ourselves but noticed multiple more tables receiving not only their drinks and apps but also their entrees. Once 6:55 came, we had to tell sweet baby angel Max about our predicament. I will be honest and say we suggested for our drinks to be comped at least - not only for the wait and lack of courtesy with everyone else receiving their items before us despite our arrival and reservation time, but for the fact that we would have maybe 15 minutes to eat, finish our drinks, pay, take our food back to our cars, and make curtain time. What sweet baby angel Max did next flabbered our gasts -- he said not only will our drinks be comped but our whole meal will be comped. He also helped pack our food and kept it in the back so we didn't have to worry about going back to our cars. We made sure to tip him with all we had! We are so glad we did because when we returned after the show, he had the kitchen remake the food and kept it warm for us. When you go to The Eagle, ask for sweet baby angel Max and you will not be disappointed with him, the service, or the food. Because even when they may mess up? The Eagle gets it right with their classy attitude and positive treatment of their customers. You definitely have multiple return customers just from this encounter. Thank you!!!

I wanted to love the Eagle. I liked It! I'm just not sure I liked It enough to return.

We started off with the cornbread. If my husband sees it on the menu, he must have it. It was good especially the top part was very sweet, which I loved. I didn't think the rest was as flavorful as I would have liked. Y husband loved it. I had the two Honey Chipotle Shrimp Tacos and they were absolutely amazing. I loved them so much. I also liked the Mexican street corn side too. My husband thought the ribs and mashed potatoes were amazing. When my mom and I see brisket on the menu, we typically have to have it. She did along with her other favorite mashed potatoes and loved both. I don't think you can have a bad meal there. Anxious to go back and try other things.
