    Wings, fried fish, sweet potato, pork ribs.

    I don't know why all my Yelp reviews from before 4 years ago all disappeared, so here is my recent experience eating at this Prescott location today. I came here today on Memorial Day 2022, to eat Senior lunch at 3:50, which includes drink for $10.84 including tax, to eat the dinner menu that comes out at 4 pm. I am from Scottsdale, and just finished camping at Upper Wolf Creek group camp. Left there to make it to pay Senior lunch price at 3:50 and eat dinner menu at 4 pm. I talked to the manager about what dinner highlights they had tonight. He said in secrecy, that the had prime rib, left over from yesterday. He brought it out for me. It was medium well, that was all they had, but it was remarkably tender, like a pot roast. No au jus so I made the meat guy pour the sauteed mushroom juice from the bin, into my plate. It was really good. I was looking forward to eating the maple syrup ribs promotion that I saw in TV. Very disappointed. Look at my picture of hard and dry ribs, and bottle of sugar free imitation maple syrup. The hard crust on the ribs made it inedible, even on the other side. Ruined the expensive meat. But they just brought out fried catfish, hot and soft inside and crispy and crunchy outside. Really good, made me so happy! Also had posole, but it wasn't as delicious as I have had years ago at this same Golden Corral. And corn pudding in the photo was pretty good When I first arrived at 4 pm, so much of the food bins such as taco garnishes, shells, side dishes, were empty. Overall not enough people eating all this food, and it was getting all dried up, tho I saw staff adding water to the bins. I didn't even touch the sirloin this visit. Restaurant was not busy at all on this holiday. I'm fact now, at 6 pm, entire half of the restaurant is totally vacant, nothing but clean tables. Very good server, always checking on my welfare. Three stars for this visit about the food, food dried up in the bins, due to lack of turnover, hard-as saddle leather ribs. but 5 stars for my server.

    Paul is the man! This gentleman was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. We had a terrific experience. Our waitress was Miriam and she did a great job as well. Food was wonderful- I've got only positive/ good things to say about this location. I would recommend to anybody!

    The best part of the meal turned out to be the soup and salad.

    We were so excited to see the Golden Corral sign after moving to Prescott. We had enjoyed it very much in California, at the Chino Hills location. We were also excited to see a buffet come back after the Covid hiatus. Were we ever in for a disappointment! We arrived a few minutes before 5 pm on a Monday. We were a bit dismayed to see that the senior "early bird" price ended at 4 pm. I've heard of "senior citizen dining", but 4 pm seems pretty darn early! We asked for the classic dinner buffet which was $14.99 for seniors. The young man at the counter (named Kaden) asked for our drink order & we gave it. As he fetched our drinks, we commented a bit more about how early the cut off was. Kaden then said rather rudely, "Are you going to eat or not?" We looked confused and said, "Of course". He said, "OK, because some people get drinks and change their minds." We paid, thinking Kaden needs some customer service refinement, which he probably won't get as there was a prominent "help wanted" sign in front (typical of nearly every restaurant in the greater Prescott area!) Note: The bus girl was very nice and efficient! The restaurant was not crowded and it was easy to get to the food areas. There were 3: salad and soup, main courses, and desserts. The salad offerings were decent, and I like salad, so I filled a plate. I chose clam chowder from the three soup offerings. The salad was fresh and the fixings were plentiful. I particularly liked the cranberries and crunchy Asian style noodles. The clam chowder was tasty. As it turned out, the soup and salad were the ONLY good things at this restaurant! For my main course, I chose the steak. It is made to order. I asked for medium, a small piece. The cook made it and gave it to me. I added a small baked potato in an aluminum foil jacket. There were no utensils near the food area so I had to mash open the foil with my fingers to be able to add melted cheese, mushrooms, and onions. I wanted raw onions but only cooked ones were available. I added a bit of macaroni and cheese and a small chicken wing to my plate, and went back to our table. The steak was awful. It was cooked okay, but it was chewy and not the least bit juicy or flavorful. I only ate a little of it. The baked potato had seen better days. It tasted and looked like it had sat in the warming tray for 6 hours. The melted cheese was good, but that was about it. The mac and cheese tasted okay. The chicken wing was horrid. It was hard and unyielding, and also appeared to have baked under the warming lights for most of the day. Finally, to the desserts - usually my favorite part of a meal. This was a bust as well. The red velvet and chocolate cake were stale. The chocolate pudding tasted "off". Peach cobbler tasted like it was dumped from a can. The chocolate-coated marshmallows were pretty good, but that is hard to do wrong. My husband had similar feelings about his meal. His steak was not tasty and he left most of his peach cobbler, even though that is his favorite dessert. He said the pot roast was pretty good. We left the restaurant very unhappy. I do not know if we will be back.

    Poop. Went to a golden corral in Texas and it was 1000 times the experience. It was our first experience. This one here was our last.

    It is an all-you-can-eat-buffet. The food is mediocre. The only upside is you can eat as much mediocrity as you want!

    A really good Golden Corral. The food was fresh and hot with a great selection. We'll go back.

    Excellent dinning experiences! Excellent meals!…read moreGreat customer service! Restaurant and Bathrooms are very well kept!!!

    I have been to Prescott many times over the years but never visited Red White & Brew until last…read moreThursday night for dinner. Inside it's an attractive interior and I was expecting a good meal. They have a small parking lot along with plenty of street parking if that is full. The restaurant has a covered outdoor patio for dining along with a full bar room separate from the inside seating areas. I ordered the bourbon glazed pecan salmon entree for $34. The meal came with a choice of two side dishes. I went with a side salad and the baked potato. Kat, my waitress, asked if I wanted it loaded with sour cream, butter, bacon, cheese and chives. I asked her if there was an extra charge for those toppings and she said no and that it came that way if I desired it. I accepted it except for the chives. First to arrive was the side salad and it was delicious. It was a quality start to the meal. Then the entree appeared and it was a beautiful plate. The salmon was pan seared with a bourbon glaze on top with candied pecans. It also had several raviolis next to the salmon with spinach and some creole mustard sauce. Flavor, flavor, flavor! That glaze and pecans mixed so well with the salmon and raviolis. Mouth watering for sure. The baked potato had two large scoops of butter and sour cream on top with cheese and was oh so good tasting. It was a quality meal for sure. 5 stars! As I was eating the potato I noticed there was no bacon pieces in it. Figuring that someone forgot to add it, I looked for my waitress and she was no where to be found. Her service was very slow. By the time she arrived I had finished the meal. I mentioned to her that the bacon was missing but it was too late since I had finished the meal. Minus 1 star. When she presented the bill at my table I paid the bill with full tip and took the receipt and left. Just outside the door I noticed on the receipt that I had been charged .75 cents each for the bacon and cheese! Minus another star. So I went back in and talked to the lady manager. She said that my waitress wasn't aware of those topping charges and it was her fault. I told her that I understood that those things can happen but had a problem with being charged for the bacon and never receiving it. She said that she would refund me the cost for the bacon and cheese and would adjust my credit card for the $1.50. I saw her do it on their portable credit card machine. She assured me that it would be done. That was last Thursday and this is Tuesday and no credit has shown in my statement. Minus another star. Very good food, very poor staff and management.
