Food was good and preséntenle. Our table server/busser was very attentive. The only thing that didn't mKe the cut was... Some food items were not refilled until asked to refill them. read more

The food was poorly handled and left sitting out until it became hard and dry. The steak had a sour taste, the cheese showed signs of mold, chicken was undercooked to the point skin looked raw, the overcooked pork chops sat out so long the knife would not cut them. It's clear the issues stem from unqualified management and kitchen staff who do not care and guarantee would not themselves eat here. Without a doubt, this establishment will shut down. read more

The Golden Corral is well...a Golden Corral, so if you know, you know. However, the Amarillo locale is very spacious and clean, and the service was wonderful. All of the food I tried (with the exception of the spinach, which was really harsh tasting) was very good, especially the meatloaf. read more

I get this place is old, but that doesn't mean your facility has to look that way. Upon entering the door looks terrible, I should've left then. Your cups were dingy looking and didn't even look clean your plates are so old they are stained, your silverware I didn't even want to use either, the walls are nasty, literally everything is nasty. Your food was dried out and looked as if it had been sitting there. Your bathrooms needed cleaned. If you're going to own a restaurant take care of it. If you can't let someone else come in and do what you obviously can't. If your facility looks like that I don't want to know what the kitchen looks like. I won't be back. It's only gotten worse since the last time I was there & that was a very long time ago as every time I eat here I get sick. I'm over it not to mention it was terribly hot and it's cold out. read more

Came here as normal we pay then come and set our drinks down grabbed our food then had to wait forever for silverware to eat hate horrible service read more

The food was really good the dessert is awesome Addison was amazing she was so nice the ambiance is pretty good very welcoming. The waiters are really really nice. read more

It has been many years since we had been to a Golden Corral. We loved it then and thoroughly enjoyed our dinnertime again now. All the employees were very pleasant and helpful and the atmosphere and food were very good. The freshly barbecued streak was excellent! I had 5 plates of delicious food there last night - A very rare event with no regret! read more

The broccoli and cheese!!!! The cheese wasn't runny like many other Golden Corrals I've been to. Everyone there was polite and friendly.

The multiple choices of items to eat. Staff bringing drinks and bread and taking away empty dishes

Went for breakfast with the family. The staff was pleasant and attentive. Food selection was good with plenty to choose from. The bacon was a little salty but everything else was good. The steak was surprisingly juicy, tender and cooked as asked. The only downside was the bathrooms needed attention and my wife had to wipe down the baby changing table. Overall a good experience will return at some point with the family. read more

There were so many food options and all looked great. The items I chose were fresh and flavorful. The salad was crisp, the steamed vegetables were perfectly cooked. The fish was crispy. My wife had steak and vegetables and was very pleased. So many options and endless desserts. Need to be careful not to over do it. Surpassed expectations. Service was good and ambiance was appropriate. Restaurant was clean even with the many customers who were there. read more

I was worried about stopping here because of the other reviews on here but it was just fine. It was a typical Golden Corral buffet. If you like fairly cheap buffets then you should like this place just fine. Food was good, they had a big variety. Our waitress was attentive, and the restaurant was clean. The bathrooms could have used some help but overall good buffet. read more

Golden has always been a family favorite.... Great food great service .... friendly staff and faces But this time it was different I'm going to have to change this to a two star as later that night I got sick from something I ate. as well as my brother he already left a review. The carpets and floors were sticky. Everything was either over cooked or cold even the bead and it set in a warmer??? It's going to take a lot to get us to come back .... read more

I'm giving this 4 stars because it was such a treat in our world of covidiocy. We were staying the night in Amarillo along I-40. We discovered that this Golden Corral was completely open. What a treat for us from Colorado where covidiocy reigns. The restaurant appeared new and very clean. Staff was friendly, although they were still wearing masks. I might have given a 5 star review but for that. The food was exactly what we expected: very average preparation. Selection was good. Nothing remarkable, but it was so nice to just enjoy average American food in a venue with (mostly) common sense. read more

I've been here a few times before and had no problems and enjoyed the food. 07/22/2022 I discovered this bug in my salad. The other food was good, but I wasn't hungry after this. read more

Barfforamma!!! I'm going to be short, sweet, and to the point We came here for breakfast. It was barely warm food at best. The kicker was at the end I went to the restroom and there was a cook coming out of a stall and SHE DID NOT WASH HER HANDS but then when I got done there wasn't any soap I got back to the table and told my husband and he said there wasn't any in the men's room either That is friggin disgusting!! Shame on you read more

Not terrible had good service but when I was talking to kitchen staff there was a language barrier but that's not their problem decent food but I wasn't as hungry because I have a little bit of a stunt problem so overall three stars read more

Food is fine but the temperature was so hot and humid in there. I don't think the AC was working, all their staff looked like they were drenched in sweat from the heat. Definitely need to get that fixed soon especially with it being summer, it makes the experience unenjoyable. read more

Came on a Sunday about 11am and not too busy. Had sirloin steak and got it medium rare and it was soft. Not to mention had shrimp and catfish. It's a great deal for 14.99 for an adult and11.99 for children. A deal not to pass up. Not the greatest buffet in the USA but worth every penny. I will definitely come back when I am hungry again. read more

Every time my husband would ask me where I want to eat I couldn't answer right away because I normally do not know what I want until I see the food in front of me so we always end up in a buffet restaurant. Golden Corral never disappoint whether it's brunch or dinner. We went for brunch in Lubbock and corned beef hash is one of my favorite and their French toast too. Amarillo branch perfected the bbq menus so whenever we're craving for bbq, we would go here instead of the bbq shacks because for relative price, we could have salad and dessert too. And whether it's Amarillo or Lubbock their people are one of the best when it comes to hospitality. read more

The family (about 15 of us) had breakfast here one morning before everyone started leaving town after the funeral gathering and the food was average but fine. There was the usual breakfast fare--eggs, taters, bacon, french toast, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, cereals, plenty of choices for everybody. I don't think they can compare with good old Luby's (long gone now) but it got us all fed for a reasonable price. It's hard to knock anyplace where you can get all-you-can-eat bacon. read more

The last time a went the Golden Corral same stuff cold food trash all over out side trash on the floor in side carpet smelled and felt sticky as I walk on it and the hole place hot as hell cold food over cooked no flat to the food bathrooms just nasty workers with attitude problems tween themselves I don't think I'll be back again read more

If you love dry, flavorless food, this place is for you. If you are capable of drying out dark meat fried chicken, you have no business serving food. Nasty!!! read more

I've been to one and only one good Golden Corral, and this one wasn't it. The food is barely passable. It is extremely bland. The floors are dirty, the wait staff is hit or miss. Of course, it's a buffet, so they probably don't get tipped very much, and probably figure why bother trying for a $2 max tip. Anyway, I like buffets, but I'll pass on this GC from now on. read more

Wow what a great buffet! Not used to this level of quality and variety. I was happy to pay for my entire party's meals, it was very reasonably priced. I had a great salad, steak and mashed potatoes, pot roast and baked tilapia and then German chocolate cake with peach cobbler for desert. It was awesome. The table attendant/waitress was very nice and attentive, refilling our drinks and taking away empty plates very promptly. Our party of 6 kept her pretty busy and we ripped her pretty good. I'll never go to another buffet besides Golden Corral again! The weekend premium price was 13.99, well worth it with the prime rib, grilled steaks, pot roast, salmon, baked tilapia (seasoned perfectly) and the desert choices were very impressive - including cotton candy for the kiddos! read more

Worst Golden Corral I have ever been to. The waitress was amazing and on point but that was at our table when I walked into the bathroom there was at least 5-6 work staff just gossiping they said they were hot and just cooling off... the bathrooms were disgusting with toilet paper on the floor and now the food everything on the tables looked old and unappetizing. The smoked sausage had grease leaking Out of it and all over my plate and the table. The pineapple was hot and that is just a few examples of the terrible food quality. Just a very Unclean environment there was 2 steak knife on the floor behind my table. $70 for 4 adults very unsatisfied read more

I have been a loyal Golden corral customer for decades. Unfortunately they have decided that their mask policy is more important than their customers. Will not be going back. read more

I will NEVER step foot in a Golden Corral again. What a waste of money. The baked potato wouldn't even melt butter. That was the worst eating experience I have ever had. read more

Don't waste your money. Payed $60 for 4 people. Was supposed to be a split between cash and card, and the woman charged my card in full. Lexi was the first person we interacted with and she was flat out rude. the manager on shift seemed like he did not care and he was also pretty rude. All of the food was completely disgusting, I mean really bad. It all tasted old, macaroni looked like puke, mashed potatoes had plastic inside of them, literally. Middle of the shrimp was cold. The was the desert station looked just made me stop, the cake had like water on it, the soft serve was a dark yellow (supposed to be white) and yet again it all tasted old. They were all rude. The food was old. The service was absolutely horrible. If zero stars was an option I would definitely put that. Even go as far as -5 stars. This place is disgusting as a whole. Definitely will not be the first nor the last to say Golden Corral has lost myself, my family and my friends business. Would've been happier with a 5 dollar pizza from little Ceasers. Absolutely am astonished at how bad this place has gotten. read more

You gotta love a breakfast buffet that offers a vat of liquid nacho cheese to drizzle all over your eggs and bacon. I'd been to my share of these things, but that was new to me. I'm sure I'm supposed to offer some explanation as to why I found myself here in the first place. I won't. Golden Corral is one of those franchises that simply won't survive Yelp; the foodie snobs on this site are just too good for these masses. Count me in. Like the rest, I noted my share of unrestrained kiddos and some less-than-inspired employees, but my issue with the place was the emphasis on America's worst farming and agricultural practices. When you see footage of poultry factories caging hundreds of thousands of birds in row after endless row; when cattle factories fatten their animals on GMO-enhanced soy cud; when hogs wallow in artificially lit metal barns across the midwest; and when Golden Corral is charging less than ten bucks a head for endless plates of these animals, you can take a wild guess at where the stuff is coming from. Meanwhile, try seeking out some fruit options. I found two: cantaloupe and honeydew. The rest appeared canned or straight up unripe. You could do a salad, of course, which is totally appetizing at eight in the morning. And in case you're wondering, yeah, I smothered that s*it in some nacho cheese, dog. read more

This was the best Golden Corral I've ever been to. Everything was fresh and quickly restocked, staff was super fast and helpful, steak guy was on point. Mashed potatoes were amazing, I don't even care if they're boxed. Everything tastes great. I ate a whole pizza. Tons of dessert options! read more

Love there false advertisement. There sign shows strawbery french toast for there brunch, they dont even have french toast. There brunch mon-thur is a complete joke, very disappointed with there breakfast selection. read more

Incredibly nice staff. Chicken was slightly pink. But the fruit was fresh and the mashed potatoes were warm. That's all I care about lol.

No Welcome at all. Straight to "What do you want to drink?" The steak was dry, as were wings, like sitting out all day. Ribs were all bone. Service in front was Terrible & food was TERRIBLE too. My mistake by not Checking Yelp first. I promise to always check Rating first & trust them. read more

Nothing really stands out about this one. Food isn't bland and the staff was attentive. I couldn't find any medium in my medium rare steak so it was pretty tough to get through. Hence the 2 stars. read more

I got dragged in here under protest while on a road trip. This is a place where food nightmares begin. Buffet wise it was a pretty average spread, salad, Mexican food, Chinese food, nothing special. But when it's an hour till close and you're surrounded by uncivilized heathen kids with parents who are MIA and you find yourself looking forward to getting back on I-40 and getting the heck out of there. Add to the fact that the cooks didn't want to prepare very much since it was close to closing time, empty trays, etc and you get a 1 star experience. Best Bet: Stay on I-40. Seriously. read more

We went there me n my family on mothers day omg the food was cold the prices are out rages if tour gonna charge almost$14 for buffet at least make sure food is hot and full and not empty worse ffood i ever had wont be returning read more

Great buffet. Salad bar is solid, fried fish and shrimp, they start serving decent steak after 4 (arrive before 4)

Oh my! You may want to walk through this place before eating there- the food is barely average if that- there are usually lots of unattended kids running around the buffet. The crowd can be, um, interesting... I'd pass Golden Corral up... read more

The Golden Corral in Amarillo Texas does not have proper Air conditioning for dinning. It was so hot I was drenched in sweat. I asked about the AC. The waitress said it wasn't installed on that side. And the others sides were full. I sat down and tried to cool off while my husband ate and poured sweat the entire time. The waitress came and took my husbands plate it had our receipt on it and it was thrown away when I went to go ask for a to go box so that I could go eat in my car where it would be cooler. She said she would have to charge me per pound and I said I already paid to dine in. So I asked for my money back. She asked for my receipt. Which was somewhere drenched in food by now. I didn't eat, I didn't get a to go box and I didn't get my money back. This was awful and i wasn't treated right, I wouldnt have treated someone in my position with High blood pressure like that in this heat that way. I was treated like a dollar bill. I though somebody might like to know. read more
