I was hungry for a fresh fish fillet & went there for lunch…read more I asked the server what was fresh. She went to the kitchen, came back & named of all the fish they have. A non-answer. I should have left then but I was there...so..I ordered the Red Snapper. I eat a lot of fish, & the fillet was half the size of snapper anywhere else, ($17.99?) t seemed fresh enough, but was way over cooked and tough. I'd still eat here if I'm craving fried, but will go elsewhere for grilled.

Eating (a lot) in Harlingen - 1 of 2…read more Upon arrival to the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) and before proceeding to the island (SPI), I was in Harlingen, Texas for about a day and a half. I still shake my head as to why they even call it a valley since I don't see any "sides" to this valley unless they are way upstream. I was not planning to eat here - at the Golden Corral. In fact, because I knew I might eat too much, I had to pause and reflect on this. However, as I got closer to the building and parking lot, it seemed to be newer and really well maintained. The same was true once inside. I guess my eyes that are bigger than my stomach won. I had dinner here and, even though it was good - see the 4 stars? - I didn't want to return ... for obvious reasons. For me, the infrequent Golden Corral visit usually means 4 plates - a plate for salads, a plate to sample various entrees and sides, a plate for the small steak, and a plate for desserts. I might or might not order a soft drink. I don't even remember the service because, being a buffet, it's mostly up to you. An employee might have checked in on me once and I really don't remember much else. You actually interact more with employees behind the counters at the various stations. Everything inside is kept clean from what I could see. This Golden Corral is popular. With Harlingen not being a city with high disposable income, this buffet offers value and I knew it would busy. Most of the customer base is made up of local Mexican(-American) folks who dine with extended families and friends. I only bring this up because this takes me back to Anjelah Johnson's landmark full 8 minute comedic skit of circa 2008 where she, in addition to stating she had Mexican and native American ancestry, declares that Mexicans are "very family oriented" ... and then keeps going! Consistent with a few other reviewers, I agree that the variety at this Golden Corral is vast and most of the choices are very good. They are consistently good across their nationwide locations. If you are a food snob, do everyone a favor and stay away. If you like value and hearty home-style cooking, be sure to come here.

This must have been DAY OLD as the steak inside was a light color and not good. Was actually gummy and tasteless. It was large but nowhere near what I usually receive, so I gave to my dog. Plus when I picked it up was told no okra was available and would not be all week so I substituted mac/cheese. The jalapano cornbread crumbled and fell apart, they must have forgot the eggs. The bread pudding was delicious as usual. Don't think I will be ordering anymore of the fried steak dinners! Today Sunday Feb 8, 2026.
