    The food is ok.....Not the best, but not the worst either. What made me rate is 3 star is simply the price. For $11.99 and all you can eat, its worth it. I wouldn't go there personally, but I understand why other people would.

    Old reheated "chicken?"

    Do not eat here unless you'd like to risk getting food poisoning. Food was old, noticeably reheated a couple times, and also not at the proper holding temperature. Charged $53 for 1 adult, 1 14 year old and a 7 year old on a Saturday and we ate basically nothing! The ONLY thing out that was decent was the fried shrimp which was also mixed in with old refried ones. Even the salad was so sad and their veggies were slimy. Don't ever go here.

    Just had an amazing buffet with the wife!! Now dessert!!

    The Lunch buffet was really good and the restaurant was clean. I really enjoyed the deep fried chicken drums sticks. I also enjoyed the beef broccoli dish. I highly recommend this Buffet!!

    Raw and definitely not good Salmon

    Horrible! Service aside, the food is just terrible. No flavor. You can just tell the food has been sitting out past its holding time. The discoloration on most if not all the food is very alarming. Their ice cream machine is broken. It's a low cost buffet but definitely not worth it.

    I stopped by around midday on a Sunday. It was a little busy when we got there, but the line moved…read morepretty quickly, so we weren't waiting long. There was also plenty of parking and several seating options inside. We decided to order a little bit of everything so we could try as much of the menu as possible. We had the brisket, brisket burnt ends, rib tips, several sides, and both desserts. The brisket burnt ends were definitely my favorite. They were smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The brisket had a beautiful bark and was cooked perfectly, and the rib tips were just as good. I was honestly just as impressed with the sides. My favorites were the spicy mac and cheese and the potato salad. The potato salad was creamy and was the perfect thing to cool your mouth after eating the steamed jalapeños. The coleslaw and green beans were also really refreshing and balanced out all the rich barbecue. The biggest surprise for me was the sweet yams. It was so flavorful that it tasted like it had been slow-cooked in brown sugar and spices for hours. For dessert, I tried both the banana pudding and the peach cobbler. The banana pudding was the winner for me, but I also liked that the peach cobbler wasn't overly sweet. Even the cornbread was delicious. I ended up pairing it with the barbecue baked beans and was a great combo. Our total came to about $110 before tax and tip, but we ordered enough food to try a wide variety of meats, sides, and desserts, so I thought it was well worth it. Overall, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that I wouldn't get again. If you're looking for great Texas-style barbecue in the Inland Empire, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

    Hands down some of the best Texas-style barbecue you can get in Southern California!…read more We tried the prime brisket and the pork belly burnt ends, and both were absolute perfection, super tender, juicy, and packed with incredible smoky flavor. The bark on the brisket was spot on, and the burnt ends practically melted in your mouth. Pair it with their savory sides and you have a 10/10 meal. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the portions are hearty. If you are craving authentic, slow-smoked BBQ in the Inland Empire, do yourself a favor and check out the Norco location. We will definitely be back!

    Good morning, Last…read morenight my family took me to dinner to celebrate my birthday. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I was having issues with the Golden Corral app so I tried and tried but was unsuccessful. Luckily I met the nicest manager, Ali, who accommodated my family with the help we needed. We were so thrilled with the service she gave us. We had stopped going to this location due to the prior service we had experienced but yesterday turned that view completely around. Ali has such a great nature about her. She gives customer a warmth that feels so genuine. She truly made my birthday dinner incredible because not only did she help us with the app dilemma but she constantly checked on us at the table and we shared conversation over our experiences at that location as well as other Golden Corral locations in the region. If it weren't for Ali, we would have never known that we could get such great help so close to home. Thanks to her, we now can drive a short distance and still enjoy Golden Corral. Thank you Ali for making my big 35 a memorable experience with your kindness and great attitude!

Assembled a simple Cobb type salad, and dressed with ranch on top. Not sure if it's the actual leafs, the eggs, or the ranch itself but something is mingin like a mf. Not good. These mfs keep filling up stuff that's already full, and not replenishing the empty stuff. Wtf. There's also a fly problem in here. Then the lady cleaning the salad bar helped me realize why this ish be mingin, she's legit just going up and around everything with a wet towel, that clearly stinks. Like wtf. Nothing taste decent in here. This is just filler food to survive, but honestly, for 3 of us and the $50 it cost, I'd much rather goto canes, or eat some pho, or anything else. I guess this was the refresher I needed to remind myself the reasons why I haven't visited this place in years. Like legit I'm really pissed that I wasted $50 on garbage. We could've eaten any of the following for that or less: Cheesecake Factory, shakeys pizza, Marcos, raising canes, camperos, Popeyes, Gus jrs, f it - even Taco Bell. All of that is better than the trash served here.

    Reading some of the previous reviews gave me a chuckle. What do you mean it was too cold inside?…read moreYou're about to stuff your face over an open fire grill. Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..

Because you get the 50/50 chance risk with the low price of like $15 - 20 (I dont know, my friend paid for us all) I suspect it was plenty of the fried and cooked foods that are responsible for some of the reviewers' ache. The orange chicken, hibachi chicken, lo mein, -- the usual. Dont count on the vegetables like broccoli to be safe either, they wont do anything for your gut either. I wonder what's the quality of their cooking oil, since my friends said it might be the root cause of it all. We never encountered me sick at any place except this The sushi bar was alright. Nothing spectacular and delectible. You get the low quality of sushi for the price, after all. Im not sure if it contributed to the sick feeling but beware! For the garlic bread, fries, chicken nuggets, and just about other 'instant' looking food -- theyre probably instant and quickly cooked for service, really. That garlic bread had a spongey texture. Again, thats what I get for coming to a low budget place
