The remodel looks great!! It was super packed. But idk why someone in the reviews said about being hot because when I went it was cold!! Felt amazing. Our server was so nice her name was Genesis I believe. My kids loved her. She kept checking up on us, being friendly and talking with my girls. Thank you Genesis!

The food, the service and the atmosphere was amazing! It was a bit busy at first because it was lunch time but everything still flowed so well. The food was fresh and they kept the areas clean and wiped down. The variety of meal options were on point too. Our server was amazing as well. She was very sweet and kept our table cleared as we enjoyed the buffet. Our family will definitely return.

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.

Edit: June 30, For everyone who doesn't know Golden Corral is finally reopened. Looks great, staff is still friendly, food is still great with a good selection at a really good price. My waitress, Miss Sam, was courteous, friendly and stopped by frequently to refill my tea. Will be coming back often.

Original Post:I love this place but I have no idea how it keeps getting good reviews when it's still under construction. It's a great place when it's open.
Edit: April 29, 2025 - for those of us that have been waiting for this place to reopen, there's good news. They're finishing the parking lot and are hiring staff. Hopefully they'll be back open before summer.

A new Golden Corral and it was loaded with fans for grand opening today. Despite the crowd staff was friendly and efficiently moved the crowd through quickly. There are lots of options on the menu and many selected the buffet.

The food was delicious! It faired well with the other locations I had visited in different States.
