    Every now and again you need to be reminded why Golden Corral is not a good idea. It's been…read moreprobably over 15 years I don't go to a GC but we had dropped off my dad's car to get an oil change, and it was going to be a while, so we walked over to the only place in the area that had breakfast which was GC. Having read the other reviews I have to agree that the place has a grimey feeling to it. A feeling like the entire restaurant needs to be pressure washed and the carpets ripped off and replaced. The workers were super friendly, but there was some definite disorganization amongst them. I was waiting a good 15 minutes before they could decide who was going to be at the omelette station. I laughed cause one of them picked up a broom and was like: "I did it yesterday, it's so and so's turn today." Then there's the quality of food which is basically bare minimum - the cheapest possible available and it shows in taste and appearance. At least... at least the coffee was decent which was a pleasant surprise, and the omelette was actually pretty good and that's pretty much all I would have from there. I wish there would be more fresh fruit. The cinnamon rolls - very obviously from a can. The gravy for biscuits obviously from a pouch that had water added, heated and served. You see what I mean? like its all quantity not quality. Which I guess you can't expect much more when its 13.99 per person. Maybe it's because it was morning, but we found the bathrooms to be clean which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I view golden corral as a place you go to when there's no other option as it was in our case within walking distance. It's cheap in both price and quality. This is the epitome of the saying: "You get what you pay for."

    Flaming Grill & Buffet is a spectacular spot in its price category. In a world where fast food's…read morecost is often double-digit, a weekday lunch at an AYCE spot for $14 is beyond incredible. While food quality on its own is 'meh,' I can confidently say you get more than you pay for! When it comes to food quality, this is mediocre. The General Tso's chicken was great, though that is to be expected with an item heavy on salt, sugar, and fat; almost everything else is instantly forgettable. The sushi, for example, was on the low-tier of supermarket. At the same time, I do want to call out that there was nothing I tried so awful I spat it out. However, in a high volume, ultra-low cost spot, all non-catastrophic quality issues are immediately forgivable. Now, while Flaming Grill doesn't have everything under the sun, the variety is excellent! There are Asian, American, and Japanese dishes, as well as a salad and dessert bar, plus hibachi. While you will not find any oysters on the half-shell, I can confidently say there is something for everyone. Even with my voracious appetite and taking a small amount of what looked interesting to me, I was unable to try everything. When it comes to the service, considering the buffet nature, it was just fine. I absolutely want to award some credit as it was attentive enough that when I moved on to dessert, they knew to bring the check. As for outside my table, food items were kept refilled, as I saw nothing nearly empty. Everything was also kept clean, and no cleanliness issues were noticed. Final verdict: Unfortunately, my taste run a little more fancy than Flaming Grill & Buffet, but that is not an issue with the eatery, but a fact of my becoming bougie? I think? That said, when I find myself in MA, and waiting for the Rental Tesla to charge across the street before returning it, you can bet your serving spoon I will be coming back.

    Two days prior to writing this review, a YouTube channel by the name of "Company Man" posted his…read morevideo essay called "The Rise and Fall (...and rise again) of Golden Corral." Which prompted two things in my brain: 1.) I haven't been to a Golden Corral in years (not since living in Texas, at least); and 2.) I should look to see where the closest one is to me. Lo and behold, turns out...my original assumptions of the nearest one most likely being somewhere in northern Mass were incorrect. There is, in fact, a newly renovated GC right in our midst - in good ol' Manch Vegas! And man, have they upgraded! It would seem there is a great deal of truth in that video essay by Company Man. Because it appears over the years, the management at GC have been hard at work upgrading the ever popular buffet restaurant. Not only are both the dining area and buffet room completely contemporary by 2025 standards; the payment system is updated as well. See, in the past, I usually had to endure the "joy" of making sure to have small bills on my person so that I could aptly tip the servers. But now...GC did something I *never* expected. In addition to facilitating contactless payment options, they allow you to charge an additional dollar amount of your choosing for the specific purpose of getting cash back to tip your server. This concept is awesome on so many levels that I can't believe more places that charge dining up front don't do this. I've often pointed out in past reviews that if cash tip only restaurants made it easier for customers to tip servers (be it via credit card or cash back), we'd be more willing and able to do it. So, why aren't more places doing it this way? Don't know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now, as you can see from the photos, the dining room and buffet area have been drastically updated. Or at least....since I last visited one years back. The aura is generally brighter as a whole and the tables don't seem as crammed together as before (I suspect, in part, due to the Covid years). Another thing I noticed almost immediately is how the buffet size seems slightly scaled down, whilst still offering a generously vast selection. But again, I'm comparing this to the one I used to visit frequently back in Texas so....take this with a grain of salt (no pun intended). And for those who were wondering, yes - the breakfast still slaps! I didn't notice an omelet station anywhere. Though, I honestly didn't look for one either. It's possible I could have missed it. Oh, GC evidently did away with their traditional trays, too. Just as well, considering they served no purpose in the first place. You still get your drinks immediately upon entry. But I mean, you could always just double fist it if you desire multiple beverages. Since I'm not a huge buffet person these days due to an aging metabolism, I can't say I'd come back here *too* often. But they still are the #1 place I'd visit as far as buffets are concerned. Still holding the top spot in their respective dining category, I'm giving Golden Corral in Manchester 5 generous plates of bacon and eggs out of 5.

    Golden Corral has reopened for business on Thursday April 10, 2025. When they closed back in…read moreSeptember 2024, all of the equipment and furnishings remained in the space, which was a promising sign. There was a change in management at this location. There was a very long line outside of Golden Corral before the grand reopening and ribbon cutting and live DJ outside. The first 100 guests to purchase an adult buffet would receive free buffets for a year, one adult buffet per month, per household, a booklet with 12 free adult buffet certificates, tracked. The layout of the restaurant with the buffet stations and seating areas are still the same. The front area has changed a bit with the drink station crammed near the front entrance, get your drinks first, then pay. This model works at larger Golden Corral with a larger front queuing area, but it is very crowded with the self serve drink station near the front at this location. They also have a dedicated check out line for takeout orders to right. A couple months ago, I was surprised to see the Golden Corral in Manchester was reopening and thrilled that I would not have to trek to Queensbury NY or Springfield MA for Golden Corral. I stopped by Golden Corral in Manchester for the weekday lunch buffet, which was $12.99 plus tax for the adult buffet, got ice water. The buffet has salad stations, hot foods stations, dessert stations, soft serve ice cream machine, Icee machine, but I did not see the chocolate fountain (yet?). I limited myself to three plates and desserts. I enjoyed Spaghetti Pie, Pork Tamales, Fried Chicken, Cheeseburger Slider, Fried Okra, Onion Rings, Meatloaf, Pot Roast, Chicken & Dumplins, Baked Whitefish, Fried Whitefish, Fried Shrimp, Mac & Cheese, Rice Pilaf, Baked Beans, Collard Greens, Zucchini, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Seasoned Potatoes, Corn On The Cob, Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad, Seafood Salad, Cole Slaw, Green Salad, Hot Roll, Cornbread, Clam Chowder, Choc Chip Cookie, Cheesecake, Banana Pudding, Bread Pudding, Mini Churros, Peach Cobbler, and Chocolate/Vanilla Soft Serve. While the food is not fancy and this place gets a bad rap on social media sites, the food actually tasted pretty good on this relaunch visit and the multiple staff was on top of clearing my table. The place looked very clean too.

    Visited Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill on Saturday night and we had an awesome dinner experience…read more Our party of four was seated promptly at our reservation time. The dining room is very attractive and nicely decorated, and the servers were polite, friendly, and attentive. Our drink orders were taken quickly, and the caipirinhas were both delicious. We made our first trip to the buffet and bar and there were so many choices! Hearts of palm, stuffed grape leaves, everything you could want for a salad bar, cheeses, hot sides, traditional Brazilian meat dishes, cheese rolls, fish, clam chowder and much, much more. While we were enjoying these items back at our table, we also turned our cards to green and strted experiencing the freshly sliced meats. Such a variety of beef cuts, lamb, chicken, sausage, and more. It was all super high quality, very tender, well seasoned, and I honestly don't know which were my favorites. Meat service was frequent - we were never without food and really never had to wait. They just kept coming and coming, and we kept trying more succulent meats. We finished our meal with the most delicious grilled pineapple and also the cheese with honey. Yum! Although there is a lovely dessert menu, we were too full to partake, and the pineapple and cheese hit the spot. The price for the unlimited buffet and meats is just under $50 per person, which at first seems a bit pricey, but when you look at all of the options and the quality of both the buffet and the meats, it is really a great deal! this is the third Brazilian restaurant I've been to, having been to one in Providence and one in Ogunquit, and Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill is by far the best out of the three. I will definitely be back!

After requesting to be moved, we were placed at what seemed like a service table where staff gathered frequently. Throughout the meal, employees talked loudly about not wanting to work there and how they would rather be working in Providence. It created a very uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. To make matters worse, we were eventually seated near two large parties of about 15 people each, making it nearly impossible to have a conversation. The music volume was also unbearable -- way too loud for a dining setting. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the experience. The meats were rare to the point of being unappetizing, and the buffet hot items were mediocre at best. Overall, our service was good, chaotic seating, loud environment, and underwhelming food. Definitely not a place I would return to or recommend.
