Overall fantastic Thanksgiving dinner. For those of us unable or too tired to cook, a perfect solution for our holiday meal. Everything we tried was good. The dressing with sage was worth seconds. If you are not fond of turkey, chicken, fish meatloaf as well as pizza are good substitutes. As crowed as as it was, the noise level was very tolerable. Many smiling faces especially our server, Kathy. Just remember that if you go to tip your server generously. read more

I have to admit we don't have many buffets here in Hawaii, so when I get to the mainland, I enjoy going to a cafeteria style place. It was good food for what it is. And the price is compared to Hawaii phenomenal I will be back next time. I'm in that area of the country. read more

Dear friends and strangers: My organization contacted this restaurant over the phone back in mid August of this year to secure a reservation for a group of 15+ seniors for late September. A female manager has stated that this Golden Corral does not make advanced reservations . And she suggested that we would need to come as a group on a date we choose so the staff would accommodate us. So last Saturday I came to the restaurant and told the female manager on duty that we are expecting a group of 15+ seniors to eat and have a group discussion about Medicare. And I stated it is going to be paid via ONE BILL for the entire group. She suggested that we had to wait till all participants arrive so the entire group would come in at the same time. I did not dispute that but it was a big surprise for me cause all other Golden Corrals we have been to have allow us to come in and not to wait of arrivals of late comers. Anyway, we had to wait about 20 minutes while THERE WAS NO LINE AT ALL FOR ANY OTTHER PATRONS. Again, while this restaurant was almost empty around 11:15 am on Saturday, 09/20/2025, seniors 65+ yo had to wait for 20 min. At 11:40 am I signaled to our group to come in AND, we paid for the group at the cashier's register. There was no host or manager who would direct us to a secluded area but we decided to sit in the room designated for group meetings. 5 minutes after we settled the tall male manager came , CONFRONTED ME WITHOUT TELLING ME HIS NAME OR GIVING ME HIS BUSINEES CARD. He was talking down to me telling me that WE CANNOT HAVE A MEETING IN THIS ROOM WHERE HE ALREADY HAVE TWO PATRONS SITTING ( Room occupancy is for 60 people ) He did not tell me if there is any other people coming but insisted that THIS IS HIS STORE, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE MEETINGS AND/OR PRESENTATIONS AT HIS RESTAURANT. THIS MALE MANAGER WAS EXTREMELY RUDE, DID NOT ALLOW ME TO TALK AT ALL, INTERRUPTING ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT MY PRIOR ARRNAGMENT WAS LIKE. HE ASKED ALL OF US TO LEAVE HIS RESTAURANTS EVEN AFTER THE FACT THAT WE PREPAID FOR FOOD ALREADY. HE DID NOT EVEN OFFER US TO BE SEATED IN ANOTHER AREA. SO, NO ADDITIONAL OPTIONS !!! NO EFFORTS ON HIS BEHALF TO DESIGNATE ANOTHER SEATING AREA FOR US TO GATHER AND ENJOY OUR MEETING ! Our group was witnessing his attitude. Folks in our gathering came from 15 to 25 miles away. IT WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINITING TO ALL OF US... I did not argue with this guy cause the way he talked to me was like this is HIS PLACE ; I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TALK AT ALL. So our group has left the restaurant. We claim the refund and we got it. If anyone interested in posting more details about my detailed description of what happened on September 20 , 2025 between 11:10 am and 11:45 am, please do not hesitate to post your comments. I want to have a fair description of this very unpleasant, to say the least, experience. read more

It's bullshit is what it is. They handed me a steak knife and there was no steak. Not one iota of it at all. There was tartar sauce but no popcorn shrimp. The only fish they had was catfish, objectively speaking, the worst fish. They did have their imitation crab salad but I might as well have been eating onions because there was only a hind of bell peppers and like little strands of whatever fish they think is supposed to mimic crab. read more

June 27th, 2025 @ around 1pm We tried the one in McDonough, GA off I-75 recently. 4/5 The place was packed solid. Parking took about 5 mins to find. Once inside, we were quickly seated near the desert area and started chowing down. A little short on Wait staff, but well waited on and served, nonetheless. The buffet items were refilled pretty regularly, tasted very good, and we had a great waitress. So good, we hunted down the mgr. , to let him know he had a great one there tending tables. He even said he knew she was a great one. ========================================== AUGUSTA LOCATION Just is not what it used to be. Waitstaff slow to check their tables, but can be counted on to show up to ask about refills ... when they see cake, ice cream desserts on the table, and you are about to leave. I guess hoping to increase the tip with last min service. I now threaten the wife, if she can't decide on where to eat... I'll take her to back to the Augusta Golden Corral location. Note: The one off I-175 in McDonough Ga is still 3/5+ read more

Haven't been in a while. Plenty of food options to choose from. It wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't bad. The waitress was very attentive. They really REALLY need to enforce a dress code for customers. It has gotten very trashy. Some things you just don't wanna see you when you're trying to eat. Management could do a little better on that end. read more

On searching the Golden Corral on Friday's show they have whole fried catfish but when I get to the buffet I asked where the catfish was and they said that it's no longer available. They need to serve what they list on their website read more

My nephew really wanted to come here, so I entertained him. He absolutely loved it. I would live a life of contentment if I never entered another Golden Corral again. I didn't hate it, but there was nothing that makes me want to come back and the long blonde hair (see picture) I found in my hash browns was a definite turnoff. I must say, the fried chicken was delicious, but the hash browns were cold and the grits were runny. The bacon was okay but drenched in grease. They need to do better at draining the fat. I did enjoy the coffee and our server, Genesis was very pleasant. I suppose, to say I'd never come back would be an exaggeration since my nephew loved it, but Golden Corral would definitely be at the bottom of my list. read more

Best things was our waitress. Other than that don't waste your time or money. Won't be coming back to this location.

I was very disappointed with this place. The food was ok and the service with our waitress was nice. At the register, they weren't so nice and don't really explain what you're supposed to do. The salad ingredients weren't fresh. The cucumbers were old and see through, and the tomatoes looked nasty. The steaks were dry and I hardly ate. For $40 bucks you expect better. read more

Will never go back there again. NO Ac 80+°° inside restaurant, Flys were everywhere. 1/2 the buffet was closed off, Flys all over the salad bar, dessert area was completely nasty empty dirty severing trays, melted cakes , 1/2 of the selection they use to have on buffet and dessert tables no longer there, wasn't worth $94 definitely will be taking my family somewhere else next time, none of us barely ate anything, grilling area every time we tried to get a slice of steak we kept getting told 16-20 minutes totally ridiculous, definitely not the Golden Corral I use to love, place needs to be shut down seriously read more

Its mother's day and we arrived at 11AM and we had a table for 8 quickly The food warm to very hot depending on what you were looking for which I always start off with the seafood section 1st because the tends to go faster than anything else. They had popcorn shrimp and fried flounder with baked fish but it was too salty for me and hush puppies also but no fried clams today. Moving on I explored the next set of tables and the meatloaf was moving fast along with the steak station so I went for the bbq spare ribs and some green beans and mashed potatoes which was good pl as the everything was hot and tasty. For plate #3 which I must put in a Willie. D disclaimer that I only sampled the small portions on my plates no full plate were eaten at least not by me!. Made it back to the steak table and asked for a medium well done piece which I had was perfect because after learning never ask for well done because it become a expensive hockey puck. Dessert was hood had a variety plate with the cherry pie, red velvet cake,apple pie, banana pudding and bread pudding on it. The apple pie was good as was the red velvet cake Alot of the food here seems pre packaged which I saw myself but in a cage with covid and not enough help I can kind of understand something's done like that My conclusion is yes they did a great job today with seating maintained the food line good and the hostess was great also. read more

I am very disappointed with this establishment, their hiring process is backwards. A good friend of mine was hired then fired within days of each other due to a back ground check, it was waste of time and money for everyone involved. read more

Now this is a buffet! I had chicken, broccoli, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, pizza, meatloaf, baked beans, salisbury steak, salad, baked fish, cheesy biscuits, cake, brownies, marshmallows, and lemon meringue pie! I wanted to eat a lot more but i got full. I felt like a freakin king just walking around grabbing whatever food i wanted and grubbing down like a mad champion. It was delicious! read more

Miserable managers (Iris in particular), intoxicated employees, bland and pre-cooked food. Flies everywhere, The food here makes you either puke or poop. Employees don't wash their hands. When the restrooms are dirty, employees refuse to clean them. (Can't blame them.) Wouldn't eat here if it was the last restaurant on Earth. read more

Joe! The supposedly NEW owner claims he can change the take out by charging for everything now, condiment, the free two rolls with each plate and more! On top of that there's a sign stating changes took effect 1/1/2022 which is a bunch of lies! THE WORST LOCATION EVER! WAITING FOR CORP TO REACH OUT! read more

We used to like going to Golden Corral, but the last couple of times we went it was pretty disappointing. But tonight Golden Corral is back in our good graces! Everything was delicious. LOVED my steak (the last time I couldn't even chew it). The buffet was tidy and well stocked and all the workers were friendly and attentive. read more

Ordered Food from the catering menu Mac & cheese came very loose and cheesy with hardly no macaroni, bourbon chicken came all mixed in with the rice, pulled pork came with no bbq sauce. I had to wait forever for them to pack the food up. Not real happy with the results. No serving utensils. read more

It was okay. Plenty of food choices. Some of the dishes that got emptied people stood in line for more to be put on the line. The desert buffet icee/ ice cream machine is always broken. The bathroom always seemed dirty. I'm sure it's been cleaned just not that frequently for this to be a restaurant with a high volume of people. Overall, it's not a bad place to get some quick food. read more

The food just isn't good at all. I understand it's a buffet and not a gourmet restaurant, but I've been to plenty of other buffets where the food actually tastes good. The food here is either super bland or really salty, why is there no in between? Every once in a while they'll roll out something good like New York Steak and Butterfly Shrimp, which is what was going on today, but the steak was way over cooked and unseasoned. I'm pretty sure they just boil all their meats because it's the blandest meat I've ever had in my life. The shrimp was good but the tray was always empty. Honestly the best part of the buffet was the salad bar and that's probably because there was no cooking involved. I've been nauseated ever since I left. I actually feel sick from having eaten there. And my wife also feels sick. We will not be returning. read more

Just horrible i would never come again the food was cold and my niece couldn't even eat dinner because she didn't like the taste of anything read more

This is absolutely horrible...A disappointment and disgusting in all ways. The juice machine was down so they put pitchers of juice in the salad bar...which is a germaphobe's worst nightmare due to everyone taking used cups back to the bar and refilling their cups and small children playing over the pitcher's putting dingers on the pour spout. For sanitary concerns I asked for a pitcher of juice to keep at my table since I had a large group anyway, and was told no because of self serve options...which sounded like a huge load of BS, but whatever. The omelette station attendee took more than 5minutes an omelette, and the omelette looked like it was missing the most important part...the egg to keep it together. Most of the meats and scrambled eggs on the bar were severely dried and over cooked. I'm not sure what happened to the quality of service Golden Corral is known for, but this definitely is NOT that. read more

Typically, I would bypass any Golden Corral restaurant because it is not a place where I could assume I would get a tasty meal, but when you are with a large touring group and this is the place they have presented as their choice for you, then you make up your mind that you will give the place one more try. I was pleasantly surprised with this particular location. The food was OUTSTANDING! I have never had a better meal for lunch at a buffet style restaurant. The food was seasoned well. It tasted as if the cooks took their time to prepare the food with different spices and ingredients to put some pizzazz into it. I have changed my mind about Golden Corral. read more

Not sure what you have a taste for....Chances are you are sure to fine something here to satisfy your taste buds. Now, it's no different than your typical buffet. Crowds of people, untidy stations and cold food that should be hot. Besides that, GC offers an array of items from seafood, barbecue and all day breakfast. They are great in supporting large groups for your special occasion. read more

Golden Corral is your average Buffet. It's got the good, the bad and the absolute ugly but it shows the good at certain dishes. My favorite thing to get here was the corn bread and the grilled chicken with broccoli along with the seafood section. Personally I'd stay away from the sweets other than ice cream and the Chinese buffet section due to them over salting they food. read more

Don't waste your time or money on this place. The food isn't great, nor is the quality of it. There was a hair inside the batter of my fried chicken & I can't seem to shake it off. I don't think that as a paying customer I should be worried about things in the food that shouldn't be there. Also, the cups & plates still have food attached to them.. there's so many other better buffets in the area, don't settle for this one. Last time I'll be eating here! read more

There were flies everywhere. I understand it's summertime and hot outside. Flies are a part of life, but they were all over the food at the buffet and around the tables. The only reason I would go back is because the kids like it. Customer service was good though. Everybody was nice and accommodating. read more

Slow and obnoxious Staff, soups and chili not even warm, violation of Health codes , it took forever to get the spicy barbecue sauce, careless attitude, dry burgers and meats, this Golden corral buffet is not the same. Until I left I never saw the server, didn't have a drink or offered a cup of water. Spoke and voiced my concern with the manager who promised to look into it and correct the issues, I'll give it another visit and let's see read more

I gave praise to this international buffet but I must recant my review,. I think the other reviewer is correct, it's not that good any more. Our last two visits we're bland and slightly warm. I'm so disappointed, and to charge the amount they are charging these days is crazy. read more

wasnt even worth the 1 star to leave a review.we went yesterday afternoon and was sadly disappointed.no fried mushrooms, no fried chicken livers .warmn pepperoni, not even half the desert bar in operation, besides the fact that half the restaurant was closed.waitress brought us coffee after then meal as if that was supposed to make up for it.reminded me of rayans and the bad coffee they served.no wonder they are out of business now..this was definitely our last trip to golden corral and with my hubby being a disabled veteran heused to bo all for dining there but he even siad as we were leaving we would never be back.poorest food and service ever. read more

This place has gone way down hill! The food is disgusting here and the workers do not care about the quality of the food. My food was cold and uncooked today! This will be the last time I come here!! read more

This has had to be one of the best golden corrals in America! I came here a few years ago and would still come back and eat til this day! The staff at this place is always very hard working. The management was super friendly. You can tell the employees work very hard to keep the place clean. There is a giant selection of food here that is all pretty fresh. There is a super long line on Sunday's that wraps out of the door and around the corner, but the food at this location is worth it! If you stop by augusta, you should visit this place. read more

Clean, but the food is sub-par. Fried chicken was dry, fish over cooked and meatloaf was very rubbery. But the waitress was friendly and again very clean for a Sunday lunch crowd. read more

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends tonight. The steaks are always seasoned to perfection and I'm totally addicted to the sweet potato casserole. The price is right and service was pleasant. read more

I've seen the commercials many times, but never visited. Went to this one with my niece's basketball team. There was plenty of room to accommodate us all. The staff was not particularly friendly, but the wait staff was. They had a large variety of foods to accommodate every palate. Price was fair, for the amount of food eaten (and wasted). GOOD chopped steak, yeast rolls, corn, green beans, seafood salad PASS Bread pudding, shrimp, clams, salad bar read more

I always enjoy myself at "Golden Corral" it is one of my favorite restaurants. This is my suggestion to anyone who is looking for the best tasting fried chicken in Augusta. The chicken is always hot and flavorful. The steaks are impressive. For the price you pay you would expect the streak to be of poor quality and taste but that is not the case. Bottom line GC has something for everyone. read more

I'm normally The piece maker out the bunch but today I was tested an failed we came here to eat aft my son's graduation an we had a huge party an we did give them a count but was a little off an basically we was treated like crap by the waiter an manger it ruined my son's special day an I was in tears an did not enjoy my meal after we was told that we can get up an leave cause it's his place an what he says goes I will never eat here again a lot more happened but to much to write but I will say the manger was very rude an nasty to us considering we spent 700.00 bucks to eat read more

I'm a big Golden Corral fan, or at least I was in the past. Today was my first visit in awhile though as it costs us $60 to come as a family. The kids have been begging so we decided to give it a shot. This place is hit or miss depending on the time and day you come. To be fair, I knew that before we got in the car to make the drive here. Tonight though, things were just not up to par with what I have experienced in the past. It wasn't terrible, it just didn't knock my socks off. I had to fish through 4 different plates to find a clean one, the dessert staff was rude when asking for spoons, and the chicken was dry and old. But other things were good. You can never go wrong with the mashed potatoes and gravy, the bourbon chicken, and ham were great. But I just kind of felt so-so with everything after it was all over. Kids always love it! But they didn't pay the $60 read more

The food variety and quality decreases as years goes by. Today surely disappointed as no fried shrimps there. The dessert table is deserted. Missing the cookies and the cheese cake and only one slice of red velvet cake left. read more

Great price for the value. Sometimes on my way home from work I grab a to go container for dinner for hubby and I. It's usually no more than $13.00. Where can you get steak, prime rib and/or other meats along with sides for this price for two?!! Food is tasty as well! Hi read more
