I’m not a fan of buffets but promised my partner we’d go. Glad we did. A lot of fresh food & wasn’t any piles of filler deep fried beige stuff, canned veg & cheap meat that we are used to from our previous State.
There was a great selection - You name it they had it. The place was packed - it was 530pm on a Saturday. A massive rainstorm had made it extra busy.
There are 4 dining rooms so it didn’t feel like you were all in one big room. The decor is basic but comfortable.
The servers were amazing.
The brisket was out of this world, but the very best thing was the steak. I couldn’t believe it. I think it might be the best steak I’ve ever had! including many amazing steakhouses in Europe, the Caribbean, Britain and America, over decades. I’m not kidding it was that good.
There were good choices of fresh veggie accompaniments.
We finished with some really good soft serve ice cream topped with chocolate dipped strawberries. Even the coffee - which was made fresh, was outstanding.
This change my mind about buffets.
The price was pretty good, drinks are extra & ordered with cashier before sitting down.
We left a tip at the table but didn’t see much of that going on which i thought sad as the staff were really amazing & couldn’t do enough for you.
Everything was the temperature it’s supposed to be, the plates etc were extremely clean. Everything was topped up and if anything was out (like the strawberries) just ask and it appears in minutes.
I’ve given 4.5 stars as the seafood section was lame & the bathrooms were a nightmare, half the stalls were out of order & the others I’m pretty sure were housing the possessed. The soap was out. I don’t know if I can really blame them for the loos, they were hit with very heavy traffic but still, I might need therapy after that.
* We’ve been back several times and it’s been excellent every time - had to upgrade to 5 stars because they totally deserve it.

Great selection of food that was fresh and hot. They did a good job of keeping the trays full.
Unfortunately, my wife said that the ladies room was pretty dirty and not attended to. I think that the term that she used was "gross", before describing it in graphic detail. No need to repeat that here. In a place this busy, checking the restrooms once at the end of the night is not enough.

This location is better than the one in Raleigh. It's not that crowded and it's a bit cleaner. I like the food here and the staff is friendly. Lots of free parking. Delicious food. Definitely recommend for dinner. There aren't many places like this one in the area. You can't compare it to any Chinese buffet. This one is better!

Absolutely loved this Golden Coral!!! The food was so good and fresh. I mean the food doesn't taste like any other Golden Coral I've been to. Rolls were soft, roast and chicken were so tender. Not to mention the place was very clean, staff was friendly and attentive. They have a nice salad bar. The tables were spread out so you're not on top of everyone. This is one Golden Coral everyone should visit. I think it's one of the best!!! Will definitely return!

Food was pretty much good. The chef who was cooking the steaks was not to friendly and had to speak to a manager about get a steak cooked right. Plus the waitress did know english and had to get help to understand what was being asked for. So she had to go get help after getting a few things wrong.

I love this place, when we moved from the north this place was a great place to come and eat healthy or not, but on a budget for a family of 3 my sons 2 so he eats free! That’s $40 for me and my husband. That’s with all the refills on your drinks, and all you can eat. I’ve been to about three different locations in NC. The food and dessert are good and the staff keeps the place clean and are wonderful people!

I was an assistant manager here, when I quit I chose not to write an angry review. Instead I am here to tell you all the behind the scenes of Golden Corral. This one in particular has some of the best kitchen staff you will meet. The food is actually pretty great compared to other Golden Corrals, however that kitchen staff is very much underpaid! Then we have the cashiers and servers, when I worked there as assistant managers I made sure our cashiers worked hard, the servers as well worked very hard. Again, underpaid staff here as well (when I was there). Customers should take note to be a lot more kind to these people, they deal with a lot of racist, angry, and hateful people. As much as I do not love to here how a manager has spoken about me :) , I will leave a great review for the employees! This place (when I was there) always cleaned throughly and cooked food correctly. I wish Butch, Miguel, Vidal and even Erica :) the best of luck. Can’t wait to visit again !!
-This is a review of when I was working there, I can not account for anything that has happened since I’ve left. However I was very truthful in my writing.

Good food for most part but they need to consider lots of folks don't go cause too much salt in some things. Meat loaf esp, chicken little better, baked fish too much. Folks would like to get the foods that's supposed to be healthy not loaded with salt. Love the staff for most part

My mother and I were debating where to go and settled on Golden since everybody could get what they wanted.
Absolutely a great value!
The steak was juicy and better than steaks you buy at most steak houses that cost much more. They also have a take away option if you don't want to eat there.

Rogelio Perez took over as our server last night, after a female co-worker, who was ready to go hone rudely handed off our table to him. Mr. Perez went above and beyond to get what we needed and even went to the other end of the restaurant to get more sweet tea for us after we were told by the female server that there was no more Mr. Perez did an amazing job serving us, with a smile on his face, at the end of a long day. There should be more employees like him. He turned a bad service experience into an excellent one. Thank you Mr.. Perez :)
