Everything went well. Very clean parking lot, entrance and food displayed beautifully. And everything we ate was tasty. Will definitely think of this Golden Corral again when we're wanting a good country buffet. read more

Golden Corral has always been a favorite of mine but this location ruins it for all!! The restaurant is nasty, service was the worst and management was incompetent and lacked basic communication skills. There experience from start to finish was disrespectful, embarrassing and 100% unnecessary and could have been avoided! What little food I did get to eat was really good!! This particular location is lucky to even get 1 star but without it I could not have warned you against going there!!! read more

Food was okay, yes I came on Mother's Day and I already knew it was going to be packed. Long lines and long wait time. One of the waitresses was rude the entire time, I believe her name was Young. She assumed me and my family spoke Spanish (I know Spanish) and kept telling us to hurry up and leave because we weren't welcome. She did this twice. We left and told one of the managers at the front. Won't be coming back to an establishment that allows their employees to be racist towards their guests. read more

Our waitress was really rude. We said thank you as we were leaving and she scoffed at us. Food was alright. Silverware and Plates were kind of dirty. Won't eat there again! read more

When in Mobile we always eat here, but yesterday the food was terrible. The chicken was fresh, but too salty, the baked potato was hard, had to cut it with a knife if you wanted a piece. The fish I had to spit in a napkin it was so bad. The only good thing was our server she kept our tea glasses filled. 15 minutes after eating there I was sick . What has happened to our favorite Golden Corral? read more

It's Golden Corral, so everything you've heard is probably either extremely true, or grossly exaggerated. I feel that if you arrive in the 5 o'clock hour, dinner is probably reasonably fresh, though fighting the crowd can be problematic. We went there for my birthday dinner because they are, in essence, the most reasonably priced steak house in town. Is it the best steak you've ever had? Maybe. Maybe not. But the perk is, for the price, you can go back for another steak, and another, and honestly, as many as you want. It's not a world class steak, but it's far from terrible. Now there's a few mainstays for me, like the bourbon chicken, the fried chicken, and the rolls, and the pizza is okay. I am kind of a picky eater, so most of the buffet is actually largely ignored by me. Also, if there are too many kids running around putting their paws on everything, I tend to be really choosy about what I'm grabbing. Thank God they had the attack of conscience to discontinue the chocolate fountain. In a post pandemic world, it's probably for the best. On this particular visit, our server was absolutely fantastic! She cleared the plates quickly and kept the drinks flowing. What more could I ask for? So the experience was exactly what I expected. A lot of steak was eaten, and my server was great! Yeah, I'm going back. read more

The fried chicken was bloody. we weren't happy about it. Spoke to the manager and showed him, he said the temperature was right and it was cooked. My husband was about to vomit. read more

The line of food was filthy. Employees handling food without gloves. The only decent thing about this place was the hostess/cashier when I pointed out the person scratching their hair and then touching food without gloves promptly giving me a full refund so I could eat elsewhere. read more

They yelled at my 4 year old son and the food wasn't even that good and the place is very dirt

This place shit I waited for 2 hours to get my food and everyone that got there after me got theirs and had left

For price you cannot beat it. They have a great salad bar, steaks look great however I ate their other items on the bar. There's everything from dessert, steaks, bbq, and salad with pizza and spaghetti you simply can't get that amount of food anywhere else for the same or around the Same price. read more

Lisa made my grandmother and I feel right at home ! She was very kind , accommodating to my grandmothers disabilities and all around was a great waitress! Food was great and service was prompt. I never had to ask for a refill or something to be taken out the way ! read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Buffets Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

The food was awesome. For two people, it was $29, not bad. We got a To Go plate, they weigh it, $8.99 a pound plus tax, came out to $32. The only issue I had was the fact that Golden Corral has taco meat and cheese, but no tortillas. There were tortilla chips available, so I think it was for if you wanted to make nachos. The food is mostly Southern Style, the greens, hush puppies, black eyed peas were good. I just did not like the pea salad, I think they use fresh peas instead of canned ones, it was just a little too much flavor for me. read more

Always something for every family member with their dietary restrictions or trending diet, so It is a cost effective choice in my book. read more

Food is not good and prices are too high! Would much rather have a nice sit down meal for the price I paid...

Menu was limited, fried fish and shrimp were great along with the pulled pork. They are the best price buffet in Alabama

I redeemed from My Phone app, before 3pm - Destiny charged Me a beverage & I pointed this out - Julie Wiley was The Manager & She said "Redeemed transactions would not be resolved, would not be made right. I said - "Well cancel The Entire Transaction". Julie told Me No. I was given the transaction receipt. This happened the last Time I was there - Same thing, charged for a beverage, between 1 & 3pm. Nicole - A Wonder Lady put the overcharge back on My Visa & Oaky Doky. Now, That register has all the transactions - It could be, should be checked to see how much Your Loyal Golden Corral Guests have been overcharged, bilked & taken advantage of Today. I do not know about The Previous Shifts that Destiny worked, while being supervised by Julie Wiley. All that Advertising Effort on ESPN is a waste. with relations like this & Golden Corral do Not know about it - Unless You're informed. That Early Bird - Monday - Friday from 1 to 3 pm is A Wonderful Buying Opportunity, especially with The Senior Discount - Golden Corral is A Fantastic "Food Value". I'll bring My Business back - but I do not like being spoken to "Like I'm 3 years old. Perhaps Julie Wiley could be re-trained, as She needs to be. read more

The best pot roast with carrots, celery, and potatoes! Also the best fried chicken! Love the salad bar - always fresh... doesn't taste like it came from packaged ingredients! Best place in Mobile to eat! read more

Ate at this location last week.And a couple weeks before that. Food was good and so was the service. Price is great. Ate around lunch time. My only compliant was the cashier at the front had a real nasty attitude. Black women. I went to pay and pulled some change out of my pocket. When i did i had a small bottle of anti bacterial hand cleaner. The crazy cashier wanted me to give her some and when i pointed out that her restaurant had stands providing the same thing in several areas she got mad an said mine was better. To give her some. As i walked off I heard her cuss me in the background. read more

I went in to get a to go plate. I had not been to that location in a long while. The only thing that tasted ok was the Black-eyed peas. First of all, stuffing is not the same as cornbread dressing. There was no flavor to the mac an cheese. I came home and added cheese and pepper; still not good. the pot roast was chewy with no flavor, and the catfish fillet was of a cheaper quality. The meatloaf did not have a good taste and not much better when I added ketchup. For the $12 price, it was not up to par. read more

what can I say, it's a buffet with a lot of traffic. They have a huge variety of food - anything you want really - but it is bland and to me everything tastes the same. They have good desserts though and seem fresh. If you are in a hurry, have a big appetite and not really particular about quality, this is a great place for you. Golden Corral offers a free meal to Veterans on Veteran's Day each year which I think is a great service and shows great appreciation. We only went here the one time. read more

Good food. Great staff. Very attentive. Always busy which is a good sign. Quick to replace food that is out. Cooking staff could be nicer

I love eating here and my favorite server is Lisa. She is the best one I've ever had. Any time I go I prefer to have her as my server 10/10 service with her!!!! read more

Food was good and Lisa was a good waitress checking on us and making sure the food was good and our drinks were always filled!

Had a really great time with my family on a Sunday night. The food was on point !! From the freshly grilled steaks to the amazing desserts. But I'll have to say one of the most impressive experience was the waitress that we had. Ms. Lisa. Did a outstanding job. Was very polite , and thoughtful. Family absolutely loved her. We will be coming back again read more

Given some of the reviews I've read I think this Golden Corral location gets some unfair criticism. When considering eating at Golden Corral you should already know and accept that you're not getting top-grade food. And as is the nature of any buffet some food may sit out longer than others. But this Golden Corral isn't particularly better or worse than any other. The quality of the food seems reasonably consistent with other outlets in the chain. Our server, Lisa, was a step ahead of any requests for refills and the rest of the staff seemed polite and welcoming. Good for them. As for the food, the baked fish was a touch less flavorful than I've had at other locations. And the bourbon chicken was a bit overcooked but still very tasty. Not the best Golden Corral I've been to but far from the worst. read more

Anyone who knows my family knows we love Golden Corral (or GC as we call it). It is my boys favorite place to eat. However, this particular location sucks. On Thursday, April 28th we went to this location with other family members to celebrate my nephews 6th birthday. Now I do realize that handling a large group with a lot of children 7 and under can be difficult, but or waitress had an attitude as if we were a bother from the moment we sat down. She smiled and all, but rarely came by to remove plates or check on us. The food here was garbage. It was either over cooked, cold, or had little flavor. My sister-in-law had ribs that weren't cut properly. The grill man gave her two ribs together that looked like something from the Flintstones. Speaking of the grill man...he had an awful attitude. First I asked how long before some more steak would be ready he rudely stated that he had steak ready. The steak he spoke of was so crispy looking you just knew it was burnt. When I went back to get a medium rare steak with an attitude I was asked "Are you sure" and had the steak slammed on my plate. For a medium rare piece of steak it was very tough and had absolutely no flavor. And I realize that when its about time to close staff members like to get out on time to go home, but they shouldn't make customers feel rushed at all. Unless absolutely necessary we will not go to this location. Every time we are disappointed because of the food and attitudes. Tillman's Corner on Halls Mill Rd will be our choice. read more

Golden Corral is really accommodating. They have gloves at the bars and hand sanitizer in many areas. They have tables more than six feet apart. Food is great. Service is awesome. Everything was clean. Will definitely be back! read more

Don't waste your money here! Paid 67$ to be served cafeteria style to only a few selections and no kid friendly food like they used to have before COVID. Only one server per station so lines are super long for minimalistic food. Be prepared to wait for everything read more

My family went for the first time yesterday and the food presentation was great. Everything looked fresh and what we had tasted very good. Our server was wonderful and the cashier and manager who greeted us were very nice. I was leery about going to a buffet, but am so glad we did. Everything was very clean. We will be back. read more

Ugh I dread just talking about this place it is just so dirty the workers just don't care and treat you like crap and the food is always cold and doesn't honestly taste good so I would not recommend this place read more

Golden Corral seems to have a management problem. Why else would a business with such potential offer so little in food quality and service. And, it's not cheap. For around the same amount we spent at this Golden Corral we could have dined at an Outback Steak Restaurant and surely would have had a better experience. Anyway, the only food I tried that deserved a compliment was their fried chicken. I should have stuck with the chicken only. Food fresh out of a deep fryer is safe from a bout with the heebee-geebees. The waitress serving our area never offered anything. I normally tip 20 plus percent, even at GC. We didn't leave anything here. Best advice for this Golden Corral is avoid it. Save your money and go to the McDonalds up the street. read more

Came back the second week in a row to try their prime rib. Last week it was way too done. I love prime rib but it needs to be bloody rare. Steve, the manager hooked us up with three complementary dinners w/drinks to give them another try! Long story short we are here and it is much better today. Not bloody but rare enough. Steve came over to speak to us and make sure we were happy. It's nice to feel your Dining experience means something more than just getting you in and out! Thanks Steve! read more

Best meal we ever ate here. The prime rib was perfect. He cooked it well done for me.

I'll give it too stars. Sure there is alot of variety for food items. I mean where else can you get fried chicken, steaks and Chinese all under one roof. It's improved somewhat since the last time I was at one of these places. But for 15 per person you can go to Chili's or something to get better. read more

I'm sorry to say that I work at this restaurant. I started earlier this year asking for experience. They started me on day one, no training, just said get out there and go. Mind you I've never worked a day in the food business and this was made a statement to the owner. I would never pay for this food, the work area is gross and the management staff is bar none the worst you will come across. From laughing at your complaints to just plain not caring about the customer attitude, it has been the grossest experience of my life. Now the people I work with, the few that I can actually say want to learn, we can not overwhelm the ones that just come to make money... So all in all the best experience of my job is the free food, yet they take 30 minutes out of my paycheck so I suppose it's not that free. I apologize for the service,and would highly recommend the one on Tillmans Corner.... It's worth the drive. ~The humble Baker's Initiative. ~P.S. Corporate is the one you need to voice your complaint's with, and our 90.4% health status is due to a one day cleaning spree that they enforced. read more

Had collard greens that were not washed well, very gritty. A couple if servers were not customer friendly at all. Threw a large chunk if Brisket on my plate without slicing. Very disappointed! read more

This place used to be very good. The plates tonight were filthy, and the service was very poor, even though the place was only half full. The food was very good in general. I miss the black eyed peas, and the new addition of fried chicken livers is a poor substitute. read more

I took my best friend there for lunch like I have several times before but after about 5 minutes we determined we would never return. We sat down and our waiter brought out drinks, he was very friendly and was smiling every time we saw him. But as we were eating our first few bites my best friend noticed a roach crawling on the wall of the booth behind us. She immediatly dropped her fork and told me she wanted to leave. I called the waiter over and told him about the roach in which case he immediately went to tell his manager. He came back with the message, "We are due for extermination in three days" which were the words his manager sent him to tell us. She didn't even bother to walk over herself. The waiter asked if there was anything he could do for us in which we said no because we both knew there want much he could do. On our way out the door we requested to see the manager. She walked up looking very annoyed and I told her about the roach. She said the same thing the waiter did and then stood there. She did not offer us our money back for the food we didn't eat or anything. She also showed no sign of telling the couple sitting behind us about the bug in their booth. I was extremely disappointed. I then told her I felt she needed to in which she said she would but when we walked out we saw her go right back to what she was doing. GC has always been my go to because of the food variety but we won't be going back to this one ever again. Very disappointed. read more

If only the food was 1/10 as good as the commercials. Unfortunately it's not. It's plentiful and varied but it is AWFUL. Can't find anything this bad in a soup kitchen. Don't waste your money at GC. read more
