Golden Corral is consistent and meets my large family's varying food desires. We go several times a year, usually for the lunch time. While the food sometimes seems industrial, it's always appropriately hot or cold and the containers are kept full. Our recent server was excellent and kept our drinks refilled well. read more

Decent buffet with plenty of food options. Very busy on Sunday, and was kind of difficult finding a table. They kept the food fresh and continuously refilled the buffet. Our server was very attentive and so polite. She constantly came by for dirty dishes. Parents need to watch their kids when accessing the buffet, and shouldn't allow them to run through a crowded restaurant. read more

We just don't have many buffets these days. I have always been more of a breakfast fan. I think something was wrong with their heating elements so hopefully that couple of days closure was to fix that. However, the food is okay but when they say steak and all don't expect the best. Things could be moved out faster when it has sat for a while or empty. The place will do the trick to feed a family or when don't want to spend much and just want to eat.... I think if you come for breakfast life is simpler.. .... read more

I would give it a zero if I could. The place is filthy and they don't refill the buffet items or clean up any of the counters. The ice cream area was disgusting. The servers rarely checked on us or took our used plates and we were told we couldn't sit in an area that was not marked as reserved. Several empty tables that were not bussed. Dirty dishes on chairs and fireplace hearth. Staff was very rude. Not to mention it is way overpriced and expensive! read more

Located in O'Fallon Mo. Private parking lot. Needed attention in the parking lot considering we had a snow storm yesterday. Open well lit and clean. Many varieties o and options of food. Breakfast, brunch available. Chef available to make cook to order items like eggs served your way and omelettes. Salads, desserts etc. All food options had great presentation and heat appeal. Restaurant was clean and clear of clutter. Tables and floors were clean and swept. Jeanette was our waitress. Very nice and eager to assist. Came over regularly to check in and make sure we were ok. Golden Corral just started a rewards program. New app available as well. Buffet to go option as well. Pack your food by the pound !!!I will definitely be downloading this app to rack up points to start eating with discounts:) read more

Saturday morning breakfast found this location very busy. Our server did a good job whisking away empty plates and refilling drinks. GC was effective in keeping food trays stocked with fresh items. There was a large variety of breakfast foods, plus salads, until 11am. Then, more lunch items--veggies and meats--were added to the breakfast offerings. read more

I went to eat on Nov 11 for the free military/Veteran appreciation meal. 1st thanks to Golden Corral corporation for the respect. The employees were friendly and Kind. The food was delicious but unfortunately there was more variety than I could eat at the one meal. I will need to return often to sample the entire Menu. Again, thank you. read more

With all the food here and depending on your taste there will be food here that you love and food you may not like. Dwelling on one item you don't like is asinine. Move on to something else. The service is okay being this is a self serve location. The ambiance is okay for a buffet. Their prices are fair. My biggest negative is seeing customers waste food. That is disgraceful. read more

Opened for Thanksgiving meals 11-6pm! Steaks, turkey and cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and baked potatoes, bread and all the sweets. They have gloves for customer use, one direction buffet line and tables were spaced out. Staff give each table a set of dishes, utensils and any request on condiments. There are also sanitary tables and hand sanitizer stations in different part of the restaurant. We had our lunch here and I had my favorite dish: make my own steak salad! So, practice social distance, wear masks, be sanitary, respectful and let your love ones know you're thankful for them. ToGo orders are available too! read more

Meh Not sure why so many people rate this one "better" than the St. Charles location, which, sadly, apparently went out of business almost a year ago, it seems :'( For starters, the food selection leaves something to be desired, esp. compared to the St. Charles location, AND, for some reason, they have one less counter full of food than that location, which is a tad disappointing, to say the least. The food was OK, but the selection and variety kinda sucked, ngl Been here 3 times since GC opened back up last year, and I'm still not sure what the "hype" over this location is? Plus... do they *ever* have popcorn shrimp at this location? Pretty sure every day I've been there has been a diff. day of the week, but... never saw that on the menu, for some reason, though I do recall seeing it at the SC location *almost every time*. The PS is def. one of my favorites at GC Also... I could be 'wrong' but... tbh, I never saw any "major cleanliness issues" at the old St. Charles location, and I went there, like... maybe 8 or 10 times over 5 years or so? I mean, I guess I was "lucky" those 8-10 times? ha read more

Well, I've posted about Golden Corral before and stated how I enjoy the O'Fallon location best. You're slipping. I'm finding the vegetables overcooked and the offerings (mostly soups) sometimes crusted over. Potatoes gone. Ok, I know it's 3:30 and you're getting ready for dinner but hey, we're seniors and paid for our meal! We expect the best. read more

Tony is the best server! When I go in with mom, we always check to see if he's there. He continually has a smile on his face and he's genuinely happy to see us. My top selections: - Bourbon Street Chicken: tender and flavorful. - The rolls: omg. Pillowy and perfect. - Mashed sweet potatoes: with melted marshmallows on top. - Fried chicken: holy cow. It's cooked in peanut oil; you can taste it. Tender and juicy. - Cabbage: it's in some kind of butter. - Burger sliders: great little buns, lol. - Self-serve soft serve: #nom. - Chocolate fudge: not too sweet; great consistency; perfectly sized pieces. The salad area looks good, but I ain't the type o' gal that eats salad at a buffet. If ya know what I mean. ;) read more

My friends and I attended this so called restaurant after school the other. The cups smell horrid, we found hair in our food and it was overall not a pleasant experience. The service was just fine. Cost way too much for food that was ok at best. Pretty sure all of us will have food poisoning in the coming days. Desert was good doe read more

We keep giving this place a second/third/fourth try but good lord this place is gross. The food is not good. The place is disgusting. The common area is disgusting and the bathrooms, I don't think have been touched in months. The people who work here are incredible rude. Don't give this place a try, don't waste your money or time. $70 down the damn drain read more

My family and me went to this golden corral and it was horrible the food was ok but we was very disappointed in this place the so called manager was seating people just after we got seated she had a little kids soccer team and parents cam in she put those little kids at table next to us and their parents scattered throughout the place wrong thing to do those kids was extra loud grabbing food off the dessert bar with out using tongs plus spitting on some of it running back and forth yelling and None of the parents coaches etc was doing nothing about it they was just letting their ill-behaved BRATS do what they wanted to do those brats was out of control while their stupid parents and coaches was letting them the manager told me she couldn't do nothing about them.those dam parents should learn to control their I'll behaved brats you don't take a soccer team to a place like that to eat read more

There was literally poop on the toilet seats. Every last toilet had something in or on it. Absolutely disgusting facility.

I went yesterday with my family during dinner time. The prices pretty high for an adult but overall all the food was amazing. Our waiter was nice and the place was pretty neat. read more

Honestly I would have given 4 stars but I'm writing to the place has some better offerings than the south location, they aren't the same. They have hard boiled eggs on salad bar, homemade potato salad, homemade chunky chicken salad and thick/nice clam chowder. The south location discontinued all these. The hot bar is pretty much the same. I do remember breakfast had a special, banana nut French toast. It's also more visually appealing. I won't skip the south location, but I will go here when I'm within 10 miles. read more

Stopped in the other day for the dinner buffet because we had a coupon for the brisket/steak special. It wasn't terribly busy on a Sunday for dinner so we immediately got a table. The selection is good here and the restaurant is clean. Large salad bar, meat carving station, tons of other items and an absolute ton of desserts. Lots of sugar-free options for dieters or people with diabetes. The prices are right, that's for sure. Quality was decent on the meats, everything else was okay- salad bar was pretty typical but that's what I expected when your spending $10 on 500 plates of food. Full buffet for I think less than $10 a person with a coupon. Would love to try breakfast with the omelet station. Will be back considering I live across the street. read more

Everything back to the way it was pre-covid as far as in operations.

When we walked in we were greeted by a tired looking employee who wore wrinkled stained uniform clothes. She demanded my payment (did not say hello, welcome, or anything, just "that's $14"). I paid with a 20 and she handed me back a 5 and a 1. I returned the 5 and asked for singles so I could tip the waitress, she responded "ugh, fine". At this point I noticed her uniform labeled her as a manager. I continued to my table, and got food for my son and I. while browsing the lines I see the same manager using clean plates and bowls to smack a cooks butt and joke around and play games with her employees. As we were eating the waitress cleaned tables around us. Her uniform was also wrinkled, untucked, stained, and she looked over worked and tired. She was extremely sweet to my son and very polite. About half way through the meal the manager comes to an empty table nearby, plops Down in a chair and props her feet up. She begins talking to the waitress, loudly complaining about guests, co workers, and home life. After 10-15 minutes she gets up and goes somewhere else. I return to the line to get more fruit for my son, however I am unable to do so because the manager is on the other side of the line gossiping with a cook while she reaches through with tongs getting fruit for herself. She does not say hello, she does not ask how my meal is, she doesn't even acknowledge me or that I am Standing there waiting for her to be done so I can get fruit for my son. After this experience, I feel as though Golden Corral needs to choose better employees and especially better management staff. At this rate, the store will be out of business by the end of the year. I know that i won't be back as long as management continues to be run this way. I hope you can get your act together again Golden Corral, this used to be a good location. read more

I haven't been to a Golden Corral since Covid, decided to go there since kid's eat cheap on Tuesdays. Terrible decision. Food was awful. Worst part was the rice. Was like eating gravel. I figured out the cause when I saw them putting in fresh rice. They didn't change out the tray, just scraped the new stuff into the old pan where rice had been cooking all day and burnt to a crisp. They had normal rice and mexican rice, both had the same problem. But it wasn't the only bad thing on the buffet - shrimp tasted awful too. Two adults, two kids, $50 completely wasted on awful food. I'll never eat hear again. read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. If income give no stars or negative stars I would! Had to refill my own drinks the entire visit, plates piling up on the table. It was a Tuesday and staff outnumbered the few guests. Manager trainee very rude and confrontational towards me and my autistic child. Apparently Golden Corral isn't disabled friendly. Spoke to a manager/owner? On the phone said "people are people" it's "OK" to treat guests this way and disabled children. No concern whatsoever, many excuses for employees rude behavior. Manager stated if I posted on social media it tarnished their business and would hurt sales. I informed her that her employees are the ones that did that ‍ Never going back... read more

I live in Little Rock, Arkansas. We have a Golden Corral in the area. It is not a new experience for me. Ours is larger. Let me move to last night's experience. The last time I ate at Golden Corral was June 3, 2017. That was yesterday. I went in and ordered the dinner buffet with a togo drink. I gave it 3 stars for several reasons. Things in the Saint Louis' metro area are more expensive than what I am used to paying. My friend and I arrived after 8 pm. Some commonly eaten things were out the first time I went through the line. The second time that I went through the line to get food, most of the same things were out. If an item has less than 5 percent, I consider it to be out. Each time through the buffet, I got a sirloin steak cooked medium-well. That was a plus. My waiter must have been busy. I saw him twice. Since I had a to-go cup, I refilled it myself before leaving. read more

Went there last night (06/25/19) and we were greatly disappointed. It was around 7:00 PM and they were out of a lot if not most of the popular featured foods. There were very few customers dining there. Had to hunt down a staff member to have someone bring out some soup bowls. When I asked staff members about food items that they were out of on the buffet, I was told that they were out of the item. I guess that if you want to be able to enjoy everything that GC advertises as your meal, you better get there more convenient to their serving schedule, then when you want to dine. read more

Right in the middle of dinner rush and the place was booming. Ran into our first problem with no trays. Not a big deal. We were seated, got our silverware, plates and headed up. Had steak which I recommend. As we sat eating our dinner is when all came crashing down. Started noticing stuff that would make a health inspector cringe. Trash everywhere. Trash cans overflowing and to close to the food. It's nice they wear gloves, but doesn't help it they touch the trash can and don't change gloves. It was like there was no one cleaning! The back area was a mess. When one of the employees open the door to the wash area it looked like someone barfed while twirling. There was crap stuck to the walls, floor and the back door. This will be the last time we will be back. I feel I need to make a doctors appointment also! read more

We usually go to the Golden Corral in St Charles, but we were hungry and in the area so we checked out this brand new location. This restaurant is great for my wife and two young kids. Everyone gets what they want and we can make sure the kids get some healthy stuff on their plates. This location is very similar to the St Charles location, but better in every way. It was nearly as busy as the other location (we had a 5 minute wait on Sunday at 6pm), but felt less crowded because the tables aren't as close together and everything is new, clean, and bright. All of the food was fresh and hot, plus there were some items that I don't remember seeing at the other location, such as delicious fajitas, full size fried shrimp, and hand dipped ice cream. The staff was eager to please. Our waitress was obviously inexperienced, but she did her best to keep our table clear and our drinks filled. I informed the managers of a problem in the bathroom (automatic tap water was WAY too hot) and within 2 minutes he was on his knees under the sink addressing the problem. The food is still Golden Corral, so I don't feel comfortable giving the restaurant 5 stars, but this place is about as good as a Golden Corral can get. It's a great option for families and definitely worth the extra 10 minutes drive from Zumbehl & 70. read more

Actually, the food wasn't bad. Real mashed potatoes which shocked me. The steak isn't what I would call prime beef but it was palatable. If you're looking for a lot to eat, you'll leave here having accomplished your quest. Low calorie options are limited to lettuce, and a few veggies on the salad bar. You'll also very likely see a few Walmartians when you're there which can be "interesting". read more
