The usual national chains showed up; noticed Rooster's and hit the directions button. My kid is named Rooster! Rooster is literally tattooed on my neck! Didn't exactly point that out to the staff but we did tell them we had a Rooster dining at the table. Drinks and food ordered. Nice staff and homey interior. In the men's bathroom, the small window was wide open to provide air. I'm being generous with the star rating because my Biscuits and Gravy wasn't that good. Super tough biscuits that didn't even get absorb the cream gravy. Hash browns were too crispy; one of my over easy eggs was well done while the other was fine. I think I should have stuck closer to border food as my GF's Barbacoa plate was better fare. Pancakes from mom's plate were nice and Rooster's Chicken and Waffles stole the show in presentation and flavor. Ok, so maybe it was an off biscuit day. Try it before you go to Dennys!

It went smoothly but I think it would be best to order online. Our order came out within 20 minutes. Everything was included, all the sauces, butter, rolls and silverware. The only thing I had to ask for was a couple of bags of peanuts. Two of us ordered the chicken critter meal with salad and potato. It was definitely enough to share or have leftovers for another day. I did find out that the early dining specials are not good for to-go orders. We needed to get it to-go as my mom was in a nearby rehab facility healing from a broken hip. We were celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary and this is the meal she wanted! We forgot to take pictures the day of but I do have one of our leftover meal.

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.

Are you thirsty? They have you covered! Your water, tea or soft drinks comes out in a good size mini pitcher just for you. You don't have to share it, you drink out of it. Everyone gets their own. We all ordered the baked potato, smothered with chopped beef brisket, cheese, butter, and sour cream. It was pretty big. Most of us couldn't finish ours and happily took it home to eat later. The turtle cheesecake is delicious. Perfect ending to a great meal. As you're eating, you can look out at the fields and they have a few Longhorn cattle and a couple donkeys out there. It was a nice meal, great service and great atmosphere.

I've been eating here since 1970 when menu was written daily on a small blackboard on the wall and plate lunches were $1.25, drink included. I left the area in '84 but have returned frequently ever since. Las Vegas is always my first stop, and last night was no different, meeting up with ten family members for dinner. Our server, Elizabeth, was superb. When I saw the menu, I was concerned. It was six or eight pages, with dishes I never expected to see here. But I understand why, even though my first thought was, "I hope they haven't messed with the traditional dishes." I've always maintained the cheese enchiladas here are among the three or four finest in the world, if not THE finest. That's what I always order. I also ordered panchos and guacamole. My wife ordered beef enchiladas. The guacamole was very good. The nice thing about LVC is they don't use much (if any) cilantro. This stuff ruins guacamole. Their homemade chips are beyond incredible and so is the salsa. The panchos were terrible. Way too much cheese. Ratios are important. The refried beans and rice were very dry. And finally, the cheese enchiladas. They were not good. There was very little gravy (this is what makes them so good) at all, and the gravy wasn't right. They have changed the recipe. There was also way too much cheese on top. Ratios are important. The medium (soft, medium or crispy taco shell) ground beef taco was perfect. My wife said her enchiladas were also disappointingly dry with bland gravy. I ate the taco and about half the rice, beans and enchiladas. I paid what might be my final tab here, and picked up everyone else's check. 56 years ago, I paid less than two bucks out the door. Last night's tab was over $250 with tip. Times have changed. Unfortunately, so has their food. The women's restroom was repulsive. I won't go into detail about the trash can.
