Went on Friday May 8th to try the new American Grill items at lunchtime. None of those items were on the buffet. Food was good otherwise but was disappointed I didn't get what was advertised. read more

This is a very clean and well run place. The meat, especially the steaks in the evening, is great. I love the way they fry chicken as well. Great place if you are on a Keto diet! read more

I went today to eat and asked for a medium rare steak and as soon as i cut a piece and ate it i noticed that it was raw, this is me 35 minutes later and i threw up most likely got food poising from the raw steak. read more

Great food and staff!!!! Always stop there going through Marshall, Tx Thank to great buffet!!! read more

Also known to us as the "Scarf and Barf" or the "Binge and Purge"....our alternate titles reflect no qualms against the quality of food here. One does not go here for quality necessarily but rather quantity. There seems to be a constantly changing assortment of motley characters who are regulars. Our favorite item to watch is the chocolate fountain. We watched a child put chocolate on his carrots. How can you not like that? The setting is typical for any fast food type buffet. Most of the choices are good but you can find much better of everything you try here in Marshall but if you want to eat it all at the same time, like say cheese enchiladas with your steak and spaghetti and stir fry, then this is your place! read more

We love going here for weekend breakfast and any day for lunch or dinner. The service is always nice the food is reliably delicious with so many wonderful choices. My favorites are catfish, roast beef and the Best Meatloaf EVER!!! read more

After the remodel, this place is extremely nice and clean and so friendly. The food was mostly great- had fried fish, roast beef, BBQ chicken and all were excellent. Salad bar is very good and dessert bar was fabulous, plus the ice cream!! We had a ball and will certainly be going back. Prices cannot be beat! read more

I'm truly amazed that these places have stayed open. They were never good but barely decent or at least that's what I thought until I went to this one. This place was simply terrible in every way possible and no one seems to care fact works there in management. I used to love going here as a kid but now it has lost what little bit of luster it once had which is a true shame. The staff treat you like you're the enemy and that's not how that's supposed to go at all. If you don't like your job then quit! Otherwise do your job to the best of your ability no matter what it is. read more

The day we had lunch here it's pretty crowded. They also have lots of choices, lots of desserts and salads. Plenty of meat choices as well. The restaurant and the restrooms were clean. The staff was friendly, nice and attentive. read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Buffets Near Me - Marshall, Texas

See all

We ate there twice. For lunch it was ok, but food wasn't very fresh. When we went for dinner another day everything was very good: salad was fresh and steak and chicken were very good. read more

It is what it is...there is enough food to find something to eat that you like. I would not eat here by myself, but trying to satisfy a family on a trip it is easy. Have eaten here twice and both times about the same....BUT I would not eat here in evening or weekend again as the prices are higher but they don't add enough value to warrant that. The fried chicken is for some reason always better than most, I like the veggies and my son like the new cotton candy machine (the staff hates making it, so you will have to hunt someone down). Very attentive service attendants - This is just a spot for mass quantities of food, or to keep a family on the road quiet as they run back and forth - loading themselves up at the desert bar for the sugar rush high on the way home. read more

Amazing. I felt like I was in the Key and Peele skit about continental breakfast. Started at the carving table. Served honey ham and roast beef. Just like the Thanksgivings at Grandpa's house when I was a kid. Good start. I turned the corner and traveled to the Deep South. Chicken friend steak, fried catfish, okra, and pan baked cornbread. Perfect formula. A toe dip into central Italy. Pizza and pasta. Nothing wrong about that! A bend to the right and I am in Mexico. Chicken or steak fajitas, fresh guacamole, enchiladas, and tacos. Mucho gusto! Muy bien! Another right turn and I entered Candyland. Ice cream, Jello, cotton candy, pie, cookies, and (drumroll please) a CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL Where else in East Texas can you travel so far while staying right at home? read more

Definitely a large selection of fresh food. Perfect for a family juggling different tastes. One of the best Golden Corral's we have been too. We travel this way frequently. 2nd trip on the way back. Shout out to the best server ever, Jack. We never wanted for anything. read more

Been here a few times since moving to Marshall Texas . Staff always eager to help . Steaks pretty good . I load up on veggies typically . Normally don't really go overboard , may will try chicken next time I visit . It looks tasty . Ponder over the desserts , last time had a vanilla cake . Place is really clean as well . read more

My family ate here four years ago during a roadtrip. We liked the vast selection of mostly delicious food and dessert. However, our waitress was the worst waitress we've ever had and only came by a few times while she attended to the couple sitting next to us most of the time. We've always tipped fairly, but this is the only time we tipped unusually little (less than $1) because we were furious with the lack of attention. I'd definitely come here again but I'll make sure I don't sit in the area that waitress is assigned to. The price is very cheap. The restaurant is off US59 at a major intersection in the small town of Marshall; you'll easily spot it off the road. read more

This Golden Corral was very nice, had great food choices, and server Angel was great and attentive. Even though we were passing through. We'll definitely stop here again next time we're in the area. Reason for 4 stars is that they were sweeping the floor around the food. read more

When my girlfriend and I refer to this place, we informally call it the "slop chute." And that's pretty accurate. Large quantities of indifferent quality food arranged in a helter skelter manner. I claims to be a steak house. Don't be confused. It's a bad buffet restaurant. You pay when you come in -- a flat price as best I gather, and then go get your food. Yes, they do have "steak". It's small quantities of larger steaks that they will carve off a few bites for you. I suppose that you could come back for more, but I've never had a piece that I thought was good enough to want more. Expect well done to dominate. On those occasions I've asked for something rare or medium rare, the carver looks stumped. But fear not!! They have friend chicken, baked chicken, etc. So maybe it's a home cooking restaurant? Well, I'd leave home if this was the daily fare. But wait!! Like Ronco, "There's more!" They have Mexican Food. Don't like it? We'll make it two for one and give you Chinese food, too. You get the idea. If you hunt long enough, you can generally find something fit to eat, but it's lots of work. You might think that veggies would be a good bet in this type of place. Think again. They're not. The salad bar COULD be the one redeeming thing about this place. Lots of options, and who could screw up salad? Well . . . . Yep, they could. Some times it OK. Other times, I'll find slimy tangles of rotten lettuce in my salad greens. Partially in their defense, I'd give the place one and a half stars if I could. You can find something to eat, as Glenn M pointed out. But you really to have to hunt carefully for it. And most of the things that they're trying to do -- setting aside for the moment the Tex-Mex and Chinese -- are basic items that aren't that hard to do well. It's frustrating to see something that could be a half way decent approximation of a cafeteria like Luby's down the road in Longview, be so utterly inconsistent and underwhelming. read more

The food was really good the staff was very helpful our server jarius was very good would highly recommend going back to eat here

4 of us just ate at Golden corral in Marshall tx. It was so busy. These people were awesome. The food stayed full all the time. Food was excellent. The service was beyond excellent. I still can't believe they kept up with all the people there. Thank you for an awesome free meal. We be back . read more

We always enjoy eating here. Tonight was especially nice. They went all out for the Veterans & their family. All the food was delicious and they did awesome keeping the pans full. Great Job Golden Corral read more

First time I've ever been in one of these. When you're on the road you do what needs to be done. Surprisingly tasty fried chicken livers. Very good sautéed squash. Hot and peppery. I went back for more squash. read more

I'm surprised at the negative comments. .. We've never had a bad experience at any Golden Corral... Big Jack is so nice. Clean & friendly... read more

It was a Sunday night, right around 7:30pm. We had come from Shreveport and needed to find something to eat before making the almost 6 hour drive back to Austin. We stopped at Golden Corral. It didn't take us long to wish we had kept driving. The waitress was really nice and offered to get us anything we needed, but the rest of our experience left a lot to be desired. There were only 5 other tables being used (maybe) yet there were empty/dirty tables here and there. The food on the buffet had obviously been there a while. If it looked appetizing, it certainly wasn't when we got back to the table to take a bite. I had the fried fish, which was ok, but the hushpuppies were so rubbery, I couldn't even bite into them. The meatloaf was cold as was the fried AND baked chicken. The vegetables had a skin over the top of the broth they were in and from 10 feet away, I didn't even want to look at the salad bar. We sat by the dessert bar where they have the chocolate fountain. The chocolate was really thick and almost smelled burnt. I wonder how many hours or days that thing has been on, using the same chocolate. The place was dirty. We sat next to a half-wall, dividing two areas of the dining room. There was a layer of dust on the top that I could see as I was sitting there eating. The miniblinds on the windows were dirty and had been totally damaged by misuse. I was afraid to go into the restroom, however it seemed cleaner than the dining room. For $27 and some change, my boyfriend and I had a few bites to eat and went on our way. We went to the gas station right up the road to wash our hands and 'clean up'. It's bad when a gas station restroom on the interstate feels cleaner than the dining room of a restaurant. If we're ever through there again, I think there is a Whataburger a little further down the road. We'll stop off there instead. read more

Marshall restaurant is quite clean and food is absolutely delicious!!!!! Waitress and other staff were pleasant and helpful.

Worst place ever!!!! $70 for nothing. We all got sick as soon as we got home. Disgusting!

I know it can't be helped if the air conditioning is not functioning but we should've been told before we were seated. Then the vegetables are overcooked. The file mignon was not out of any grade meet I recognized. I'm sorry but this franchise owner needs help. read more

The reason for the one star is the lack of care in what you are serving people. We stopped while traveling and I got the green beans. They were spoiled. I asked my server to confirm the taste of the beans, in which she did. She took it to the serving manager who is over the food. They both tasted it. I watch them both walk away. Sometime later my server came and confirmed that there was definitely something wrong with the green beans. Thirty minutes later they still had not changed out the beans, so I ask to talk to a manager. The same manager who was over the food came to my table, at that time I asked why would she leave food that was obviously spoiled on the buffet. She then says they we're cooking more, not answering the question asked. She kept avoiding the question, finally saying if the food makes anyone sick, then the health department will come. In other words, I don't care, we will take our chances. Really!!!!! Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Food was good. Variety to pick from. Had a great waiter, David. Very personable, helpful and courteous.

The stars that it has is undermining the restaurant. The service was GREAT the food was good. The steaks were impeccable. For like 18 dollars or so and get unlimited steaks and sides and other main items, literally can NOT beat it. read more

I don't cook, so I eat out - a lot! I try to eat healthy, but with all the choices Golden Corral has, I generally 'graze' through the selections. Big Jack was quite helpful and very pleasant as our waiter. Since this was a business trip, I had my business partner with me. He enjoyed the steak and various foods while I did the salad bar first. Very good! The choices were quite varied, and everything I ate was quite good, as were my partner's choices. Good conversation, not rushed, and good food. It was a pleasant stop, we both ate too much, but with so many choices, it happens! Will come again when traveling through! Better than the one in our area! read more

Ate there 4pm 11/13/2017, all the meat I tried was cold(fried chicken, smoked ribs,shrimp, fish and ckicken fried steak). Horrible place to eat. Save your money and pass this place up. read more

If you're looking for date-night dining, this clearly isn' the place for you. Its a bit loud and informal. It's casual buffet dining. For what it is, it gets 4 stars. There is plenty of selection, to the point of being a little ADHD about the food choices. But that means its perfect for large groups and families that may not agree on a type of place to eat at (Mexican, Asian, American, etc.). So, if you've got a group with divergent tastes, Golden Corral is a decent place for casual dining. Everyone can find some greasy good food to fulfill their hunger. If you're looking for a waitress to be super attentive or to have a more traditional dining experience, GC isn't for you. The waitresses are there to fill your glasses and clean your tables...you won't get much more attention than that because the rest is serviced by you! read more

Do not eat at this restaurant. Very dirty establishment. Go look at the kitchen. It is sickening. E-coli all over the place with food thrown on the floor and everywhere. Terrible, dirty place. Be safe and do not stop here! read more

Service is good, waitress are great but the manager in Sunday morning is an idiot, if you work in construction don't stop there we usually go during lunch and he told 8 of our guys to clean our shoes or bring new shoes to enter into his restaurant before entering to his place I don't mind if he ask us to do that but is not profesional to tell us In front of his customers very disrespectful read more

For the first time, we held our annual holiday luncheon for our Public Services, Support Services, and Water Billing at the location on East End Blvd South in Marshall on Tuesday 12-17-14 and it was an awesome experience!! I cannot imagine any negative comments about this location because EVERY aspect of our event (65 people) was perfect; food was great, service was great, and management bent over backwards to make our event a success - we will return! read more

Hit and miss here; the food is excellent some days and mediocre on others. Wait staff is usually attentive and friendly, though.

I visit the establishment weekly. I am surprised at all the negativity regarding it. It is true that have an extensive variety for food, salads, and deserts. That's what make is attractive to me. Being a picky eater and having grandchildren that are just as picky, we can go here with others and never feel that we can't find something to suit our appetite. I love their steak medium well. While it is served in small pieces, there is less waste for the business. Since it is a buffet, the food is replenished continuously and is mixed with the food still on the buffet. With the price of the food and drink being between $12-14 per meal for all you can eat, it would be ridiculous to think it would be served to one in large quantities or for food be thrown out every time it is replenished. I love the food and the kind, attentive people. Only one time have I been dissatisfied with the service and it was because one waitress was too busy trying to get off. Being in small towns, I will take this restaurants over most any time. Since I eat out daily, I spend $10-15 to order from the select menu, wait as long as 20 minutes for the meal to be prepared, and then have inhale the food because lunch is almost over. I guess if I want perfection, I will have to cook it myself because there is no chance everyone will be happy all the time when eating out since we all have different concepts of what taste good as well as the expectations of how others are supposed to act. Needless to say, this establishment's service gets high marks from me. read more

My husband and I ate there on November 29th, 2013, and we had a very bad experience. Although the food looks so plentiful, it was obvious when we tasted it that they mix newly cooked food in with what is left over. For instance, I ate some broccoli which had some fresh tasting pieces, and then bit into others in the same serving that I had to quietly spit out which tasted grossly old and "funny." I did the same with other items on my plate. My husband, however, ate what he got, and had to suffer through food poisoning for two more days on the road. Another thing that bothered me was that several buffet serving tongs had dropped down into the food where someone would have to fish them out with their hands to use them. The restaurant needs to use long enough tongs so that unsanitary situation wouldn't happen. Thank you to Yelp for this website to warn people, because they really do have to put their health at risk when eating at this particular Golden Corral. read more
