    Steak was delish - cooked to order
    Louis L.

    Golden Corral (Williamsburg) GOOD: nearly everything - immaculately clean, nice presentation, good food, friendly, efficient service (steak!) BAD: Nothing much, a couple of the dishes looked a little dry but there were 4 great dishes for every dryish - no impact In the class of chain restaurants, GCB Williamsburg scores big. As many say (most impressive) immaculately clean, very inviting. The food, especially cooked to order steak was delicious. You easily get double the price (18.99) in value with two plates of meat (fried chicken also great). The service was great - no waiting on plate clearing which turns me off at other buffets. Well done GCB Williamsburg.

    Two of us stopped for a late breakfast buffet (or early lunch?) around 10:30 am on a Friday. We were traveling between Virginia Beach and central Virginia, and were familiar with this Golden Corral as our daughter graduated from W&M in Williamsburg. Food. We enjoyed a nice assortment of breakfast items. Favorite breakfast items included warm buns with sausage gravy (good), mini-waffles with syrupy strawberries and blueberries (good, but would be better with fresh fruit), sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers (watery, under-spiced), sausage patties (dried out) and bacon (good, crisp), fresh cantaloupe (food), and orange juice (good, undiluted). *Many different juices were available, including apple, orange, cranberry, and more. These were tasty, and were not diluted. *Drinks were included with the fee upon entrance. My husband ordered coffee; I got hot tea. These were served with creamer; sugar and Equal were on the table. *The plentiful salad bar, and desserts, were available throughout the breakfast service. We each enjoyed a salad, and my husband liked a banana pudding for dessert. Lunch service began around 11 am, and lunch items started to replace breakfast items on the breakfast bar. We tasted the bourbon chicken (good) and corn on cob (water-logged). Ambiance. The food stations stayed well-stocked, and the restaurant was clean and relatively empty. Our waitress brought our drinks, and dropped by once to see if we needed refills. She was nice enough, but not particularly attentive or friendly. Parking was plentiful, free, and relatively easy to access from the Bypass Road. A final note. The restaurant's website mentioned an omelet bar for cooked-to-order eggs, as well as chocolate-dipped strawberry slices. We didn't see either. Price. Our receipt shows that we paid $27.73 for two senior breakfasts, including tax but before tip. ($12.49 x 2, plus $2.75 tax). Our receipt shows " Snr Weekend"; we were surprised that a Friday would be considered weekend though we don't know whether there is a price differential between weekday and weekend.

    This was our first time at this Golden Corral and it was AWESOME!!! The foods were DELICIOUS and FLAVORFUL!! The service and prices were great and the servers were very friendly!! It's a GREAT place to go with affordable prices for kids, adults and seniors too!! The entire family enjoyed the experience and the kids had a ball from the time we got there and, especially, at the end to exit where they could play games for quarters! YES!!! I do recommend them to my family, friends, friends of friends and, NOW, the World too!!

    The workers were a little bit unorganized and loud. This is definitely a buffet! There is a lot of food options from pizza, to fish! The place is nice for what it is. Lots of seats!! The food tastes good and that is the main part of the review! The sweet potatoes were ehhhh! The utensils, plates, and cups were all clean! Buffets are not my cup of tea but it was good! 50/50 on the recommended. There're definitely nicer places to go eat out but this is a good place to go like for a big group and such!

    Steak

    Food was genuinely inedible, feel sick less than 20 minutes after eating. The environment is horrible due to being hot and suffocating. The steak was either completely fat or still had blood in it. Never eating here again.

    While not great food, it is good food. Unlimited. Sirloin steak cooked to order. Nuff said.

The menu also has so many food options, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food overall was great and very enjoyable. However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.

We have not not dined, or even spent much time at CW since the pandemic. After a hike behind Bassett Hall my wife and I enjoyed lunch. We arrived at noon and were promptly seated in an empty room. Around 20 minutes later the first floor was full. The atmosphere was cool and authentic. Nothing has changed since my previous visit. Our friendly waitress got menus and waters. I started off with an Apple Jack Old Fashioned utilizing Virginia Gentleman bourbon. We reviewed items on the menu that may have been served in the period. We started with apps. I got a salad, or "To Make a Fine Sallet". My wife crab croquettes. They pushed out first and we enjoyed. For mains. I got the pork shank, or "To Stew a Shoat in the French Way". My wife had "Chicken Hash", it was like a thick soup. The plating was beautiful and the taste matched. The old fashioned was disappointing because it was so weak. Service was decent, but not much attention. For dessert I got the bread pudding and wife chocolate tart. Both were outstanding! The bill was dropped on the table. It was around $150 w/ tip. Although pricey we had fun and felt like tourist just an hour from home. I would recommend.

We opted for the dessert and soup add-on. I ordered the peanut soup which was very creamy and rich. I enjoyed it very much. For a main, I ordered the pork shank which was very dense meat on a large bone served on top of what appeared to be polenta with pomegranate seeds. This was a very filling dish and I could not finish it. It didn't have a lot of flavor. I finished off with a pecan pie, which was delicious. During dinner, we were briefly serenaded by a performer, dressed in period garb. Although I wasn't rushed, it seemed that it was a very brief dinner with the food coming out very quickly. The tavern was what I expected to be with candlelight and decorations from an earlier century. There was just something missing with the vibe. My husband ordered the onion pie and the bread pudding.

While we can't promise *you* won't have a similar experience, we can say that in this case the executive chef personally responded promptly to a respectful polite email and then handled it all very appropriately once informed. And for that alone, we revise to 4 stars. Perhaps ours was an isolated incident. Regardless, a big thank you to the executive chef for the response and swift refund. Much appreciated. We *think* any executive chef would want to KNOW what was going on, perhaps in their absence, right? YMMV. Thanks again. ORIGINAL 1 star review: New Years Eve dinner at Terrace Room. The photo shows "pan-seared" scallops with a ... risotto-like substance. Heh. $50. Uh huh. Scallops: No sear. Super chewy. Hard to even cut. Risotto was like mushy oatmeal stuff and zero seasoning or flavor. Maybe something was wrong in the kitchen, I dunno. Ack. We both ordered this and left most of it. Also a bottle of wine (white) that had to be chilled in front of us for a while before the server could/would pour it. Hm. $110 for that. Note: the *service* was excellent! It is never a waiter's "fault" when the food is awful. We tipped the excellent waiter accordingly, BTW. Just sharing our experience at this place on this particular night. Hope it helps. Be aware. Maybe it's "iffy."
