    My family loves this place!!! It is very yummy and the staff are very friendly. Always a large selection available. We've been here around 10 times (we live close by) and have liked it every time.

    Awesome people. Decent buffet for the price. Due to covid 19 take out only. Honestly it's so much better fresh like this.

    2021Jan 15; This has always been one of my favorite stops. The great variety and well stocked food…read moreare very positive asset. I like to try a variety of items. Some of my many favorites is the cabbage, the roast beef, fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I could go on. The cabbage is absolutely the best! Made just like my mother used to make. Absolutely have not been able to find that anywhere else! The Chicken is delicious! Crispy and moist like I love with such great flavor! The Roast beef, oh man this needs no review if you have ever tried it! If you haven't , you must! And the mashed potatoes are so great I always eat too much of that. Frankly, I have yet to try something that was not exceptional! I could eat here everyday if it was not so far away for me. But the trip is well worth it. These times require extra precautions and I see them taking things seriously so I feel quite comfortable eating at Golden Corral. With all the other places doing only drive thru or take out, it is a great break to be able to sit down and eat in the restaurant. If you have tried the one in Mt Airy NC, you should! I fully recommend!

    My family went to Golden Corral on April 1st 2026 approx 4-4:30pm. The food was soooo old that the…read moregravies had a thick film on top of them.. the rolls were pure black and burned, I asked for more mashed potatoes and the guy running the meat part scolded me that "he was getting them"... while yelling at the person who was baking new rolls "to hurry up with the rolls" across the aisle i to the bakery section. She was embarrassed as she literally scowled at him with a huff because she was already coming with them. The food was just old.. the place wasnt packed so there was no need for the workers to keep an eye on the food that was dried out!! Even the boiled potatoes werent cooked fully, they were hard as a rock. Its almost as if the place doesnt care yet wants to charge $50 for 3 people to eat... and ya cant eat when the food is disgustingly hard and dried out! That night my husband who usually eats mine and our daughters share of food... didnt eat hardly anything because of how nasty the food was that day. Unless they begin caring about their customers and their experience... they shouldn't be charging so much for old crusty food.

    This is my third visit over the last several months, all around the noon meal time. The crowd was…read morenot large and very friendly with little issues with carrying on a conversation. The groups was hungry though and this caused many empty or near empty pans of food. And those with food were not hot. While the food was tasty, it would have been better if it was hot. I do enjoy their Sesame Chicken and get a little serving with each plate. The salad veggies were fresh and very tasty. I just wish they would turn up the heat on the various hot bars. Maybe next time I will try another Chinese restaurant.

    Used to be a good buffet, but the last two times I have been the quality and service have slipped…read more The first time was during the lunch rush, when you would expect the food to turn over fast, but a lot of the dishes tasted old, as if they had cooked an hour or two ahead and sat on the counter before being brought out. The sushi also tasted old with the some of the rice crusty. I didn't see the usual sushi chef I was used to. A lot of the dishes I liked were hot but still tasted old. The second visit was at 2:30 and I expected some of the dishes to be old since it's an off hour. But it was worse than expected. Crusty sauces. Old and soggy fried foods. Just bad. Worse, the sushi was ancient. It had been made hours before and all the rice on the rolls hard. I would have enjoyed the nigiri, but he wasn't making any. The chef was just standing there looking around. I pointed out that helge plate was empty, but when I returned the plate was still empty. Every time I went here, about every other month, I always saw the same sushi chef and unbelievably he always remembered me. He kept all the sushi fresh and usually replaced stuff as fast as it was taken. Maybe I just missed him both of these times or maybe he no longer works there.
