    This policy is ridiculous!!!

    The food was horrible. The chicken smells like black licorice the egg rolls are mushy the bourbon. Chicken had no bourbon not to mention. They are now out children. If you are over 5 feet you pay an adult price which is ridiculous. This is not an amusement park !! it's a food establishment so because my eight-year-old is tall she has to pay an adult price . The waitress are like a bullies because she didn't get a tip, but she didn't do any work. We will not be returning.

    I really don't know how I feel about this place. I want to say that the lunch buffet is $12.99. I paid for 2 with water and it was $27 and change. They didn't have any sushi out, which Is something I look for in all china buffets. The labels on the dishes were kind of warn, so you didn't know what was what. Just had to think what they could be. We were seated promptly. The restrooms were clean except for tissue overflowing the trash cans. Who wipes there booty and throws it in the trash when the commode is right there. Haha. The food that I did get was pretty good except for the crawfish. They didn't have any flavor. I had some kind of spicy chicken, rice, egg rolls, whole shrimp, swai fish and the pizza. I want to bring the family but the wow factor just wasn't there! I may just stick to the Sakura in McDonough. I will give it a go one more time just to confirm how I feel but not sure! Ps.... I did see a lot of people get plate fulls of the orange slices. I don't know why but they did. Maybe they really liked them.

    Great chow is a pretty solid Chinese buffet spot. The prices were fair too. Saturday prices were around 16 per person. They got your typical varieties, chicken wings, seafoody stuff (imitation crab casseroles, craw fish, fried crabs, steamed mussels, and etc). There was a decent amount of people dining for around lunch, but not too crowded so gives you a chance to grab something hot and fresh right from the kitchen. There's a nice lil hibachi area in the back that will make your stir fry dish on the spot. For what it is, I think it's solid. I was clean. There were a good amount of workers and each were pretty on point with tending to their tables. The food quality was good too.

    Receipts
    Timlawz ..

    My recent dining experience at GreatChow was nothing short of a nightmare. From the outset, the manager/owner displayed shocking levels of rudeness by inquiring about the ages of my children upon arrival. After disclosing that my children were 12, 10, and 8 years old, the manager proceeded to drop a bombshell: my 10-year-old daughter would be charged as an adult due to her height. This preposterous assertion left both my family and our waitress dumbfounded. Believing it to be a tasteless joke, we continued with our meal, only to be met with harsh reality when the bill arrived. Despite our protests and pleas for reason, the manager remained obstinate, callously dismissing our concerns and instructing the waitress to leave us to deal with it. As if that weren't humiliating enough, my daughter was reduced to tears by this unjust treatment. I am utterly appalled by the behavior of the management at GreatChow. Their discriminatory pricing policies and complete lack of empathy have left a stain on what should have been a pleasant family outing. I've attached the receipt as evidence of this shameful ordeal. Save yourself the embarrassment and avoid this establishment at all costs. When I finally check other reviews, it seems like the everyone is complaining about the same manager, he has no manners and any type of customer service.

    I am not a delicate princess. I will eat hot dogs and chicken nuggets and all other monstrosities of mechanically separated, processed, and reconstituted animal carcasses, and what's more is I usually love it. But when you call something meat and I agree to eat it then we have entered into an unspoken social contract. Your end of that bargain is to do everything you can to prevent me from discovering your blatant lie, and my part is to not be too nosy or curious about the truth. Well, Great Chow Buffet & Grill on Mount Zion Road in Morrow Georgia , from the moment my Unnamed Beef Thing split apart revealing itself to be a very hastily and very briefly heated union of two globs of undifferentiated pink spray foam, you had failed your end of the bargain and now I must post this unkind review. Had you bothered to stir fry the pieces with enough care to keep them from lightly clinging together, and had you heated them at enough degrees that anything more than just the outermost layer of the pieces had barely browned, then I wouldn't have discovered your ruse. But you didn't, so I did, and here we are. How disappointing.

    This is a good place to pig out on mediocre food. If you're looking for quantity over quality you've found your spot.

    Me and my parents went to a late lunch yesterday for Mother's Day. The food was awesome and…read morecustomer service was amazing. Everyone was extremely nice. We we'll be back. And I well be telling everyone else about the five stars I give this place. The only down side is needs more parking but I can look over that.

    I don't leave reviews as a rule, but this was SCARY food - the public needs to know or the…read moreestablishment needs a major change. Decent selection of food, but most of it at room temperature or close. I didn't dare eat the chicken when it was clear that it had been sitting there for a while at room temperature, will be shocked if I'm not sick tomorrow. Same with the cobbler. I tried the rolls and garlic bread - both so hard as to be completely unpalatable. Salad bar was probably the best part, but everything there was very low quality as well. Beyond that, the food is all very underseasoned and bland. And how do you make cheesecake bland? I mean, how is that possible? All the server had to do was give my a seat, some water and clean utensils, and I did get a seat - but the knife had a big blob of something green stuck to it. They brought me a new glass of water when the first when dry, but it had a funny/bitter flavor that wasn't there in the first one. Considering the fact that the knife wasn't clean, I would assume the same went for the glasses. Worst of all, I left a tip at the table (not required for a buffet, and certainly not earned as noted above); but when I declined to tip at checkout, they had the nerve to ask if I had tipped at the table - as if tipping was somehow required. And then argued with me when I made it clear that asking was inappropriate. Incredibly rude and a terrible way to treat customers. I should have made more of a scene, but I calmly made my point clear, no need for more drama. Will not be going back, and will suggest nobody else does either - if you want a reasonable buffet experience anyway. Edited to add: After writing this review, I decided to research to see if I was the only one that had a bad experience, and found a LOT. On Yelp, they have more one star reviews that two, three or four stars - making me think that many of the 5 star reviews are not legit. Just go to Yelp, and sort by newest first, to see that 3 of the last 5 reviews were one star - 4 of 6 if you include mine. Also, according to the AJC, this restaurant has had multiple failed health inspections in just the last five years: November 2025: Scored 59/U (Unsatisfactory). Violations included food not held at proper temperatures and cross-contamination issues. December 2021: Scored 52/U (Unsatisfactory). The restaurant failed its routine inspection after staff were observed failing to wash hands, alongside improper food storage and temperature violations. May 2021: Scored 37/U (Unsatisfactory) 37? 37?? That's not just a fail, that's a not even trying.
