Best location to eat at. They have everything here . Irene is our server and shes really good nice and friendly . Ontop of her refills and keeps her area very clean. Started coming here earlier this year and have been coming regularly now. Great flavorful fresh food . Even on weekends I’ve made it in for their breakfast. Check it out if you’re in the area you will not be disappointed.

EDIT AGAIN: Came back on 04/25 and they had a young lady named Sam. 10/10 highly recommend. She was on top of it. She checked out tables several times, gave VALUABLE suggestions, and was very personable. She’s my favorite server right now for sure. I’ll back back with an update for next time.
EDIT: Came back on October 28th. Complete 180. Clean, food stocked, great atmosphere!!! They fired a certain group of people and hired a certain group of people and this place has really changed for the better!!!! Awesome job.
It was okay. I’m giving 3 stars, and here’s why:
First, the renovation looks amazing. The wood tones, the stone wall with the fireplace, very cozy and inviting. The seats were decently comfortable too.
When we walked in, the ladies at the register were just… there. Not rude, but not friendly either. Total for our family of 3 came to about $59 — $18.99 per adult (dinner pricing after 4pm), $12.99 for my 10-year-old, and $8 for drinks. Pretty standard.
Tip: get cash back at the register if you plan to tip your server; I always forget!
Now, let’s talk about the dining experience. It was crowded, but hey, that’s expected at Golden Corral.
What really dropped the experience for me at this location was the food quality. The cucumbers were cut ridiculously thick, and the overall prep just seemed careless. They did a decent job keeping items refilled.
While we were eating, the manager had to make several loudspeaker announcements asking staff to clean up, vacuum, restock bathrooms, etc. That was a little uncomfortable….felt like we were eating in the middle of a staff meeting.
As for dessert; my go-to items are the banana pudding and apple cobbler. Sadly, neither were available, even though the signs were still out. When I asked the lady at the dessert counter, she responded with a very snippy “NOT TODAY” and kept it moving. Not the vibe.
Shout out to our server Zuzu, though. She was pleasant and attentive.
My daughter summed it up perfectly: “I wish they put as much effort into the food as they did the renovation.” She LOVES Golden Corral and barely finished one plate. That says a lot.
We’ll stick with the Burlington location moving forward; much better all around. -
BEST FOOD - ( Variety, flavor and excellent portions and inviting presentation) ANYWHERE!
BEST SERVICE - Our waitress (Vanessa) was very kind, courteous, professional and moved quickly without seeming rushed. She was observant and anticipated what we wanted before we asked. I noticed she was genuinely like this with all of her tables. She was a delight...just excellent!
BEST ATMOSPHERE - ANYWHERE!
G.C. is THE BEST family style restaurant. G.C.'s wide variety of foods also encompasses many attractive selections for the children. Yes, there are many people/ families at one time. That comes with the sound of people talking, families laughing/ enjoying themselves and sounds of moving about. Even so it never seems LOUD.
Of all of the restaurants, WE ALWAYS seem to choose GOLDEN CORAL like many so many others. This is evidenced by the familiar faces that are seen everytime we return.
GOLDEN CORAL IS THE BEST!!!! -
I hadn't been to Golden Corral in over a decade, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was exactly as I remember... copious selections and portions of decent food! The staff were really friendly and attentive, and no one in my family got sick in the following days (always a risk of that with any buffet, but I've never had it happen at GC 🤞).
The only thing that has changed for the worse is the prices. The four of us cost $100 with drinks! I know that isn't specific to Golden Corral (60% of us know why it's happening), but I would've liked to be prepared for the cost before we drove across town to go, so I'm just giving the heads up. -
I stopped eating here years ago due to the quality of the food and customer service. Four months ago a friend suggested getting dinner there. I wasn't sure but figured I'd give it another chance since I stopped eating there years ago. My first time dining there in years was amazing. The service was good and the quality of the food was amazing. They had more food choices then before. I enjoyed the experience so much I started eating there twice a week ever since. Tonight I went there and was completely disappointed. Most of the food was over cooked from sitting on the hot bar too long. The quality of the food wasn't what I had been getting these past few months. Around 8:30 they began sweeping around the tables. In my opinion thats nasty. People are eating with dirt flying in the air. They changed over the food to plastic bowls. Okay thats fine but how do people get more food if you've taken away the utensils?? I attempted to get something small for my parents that appeared to be fresh and I was given tongs when trying to get yams. After spending $71.00 I'm completely disappointed and annoyed with the entire experience I had tonight and once again I'll never eat there again.
