We wanted a breakfast buffet so we slid into gc for so good food, I have not been here for a while so it was good. The decor look have upgraded and the food menu changed but we were satisfied with the food service. Bathrooms were not a clean yo be 11am but I just washed my hands. Parking was good. We had Ms.Sonia and she was very attentive The dessert station was ok but they had a slush machine that never worked properly and when we asked for a cup to get some we were instructed to put in a bowl but it was a sloppy mess. read more

Quality of food for the price. Courtesy and responsive of staff. One of better buffets other than those of Vegas casinos.

I was in the neighborhood since my wife had a doctor's appointment. It has been years since we visited this restaurant. The food was good, plenty and hot. The food trays were full as was the restaurant. The waitress Vanessa was very pleasant. The demographics definitely reflect the neighborhood. It is helpful to speak at least a little bit of Spanish. We will be back. read more

This is one of the smaller Golden Corrals I've been to so there is less variety. My child has a gluten allergy so the more variety the better. The ice cream and icee machine was not cold enough so our ice cream melted quickly. The staff is nice and attentive so we enjoyed that. The food was not hot, which I'm not a fan of. I probably won't be coming back especially since I was here on a weekend, where the food gets eaten quickly so the quality should be better than other days of the week. read more

Went with a party of 20 and they gave us a separate room which was nice because it was quiet and you could have a really good conversation with everyone, our server was really attentive with our drinks and bringing us what we needed in time. Food was okay. read more

Spotless kitchen, clean dining area, and even the restrooms were fresh. I felt very comfortable eating here.

One Star - I've Never Felt So Unwelcome I'm honestly still shaken by the experience I had today at Golden Corral. What was supposed to be a simple, enjoyable meal turned into one of the most uncomfortable and humiliating dining experiences I've ever had. From the start, our server Maria treated us with an attitude that made it clear we weren't welcome. She was rude, cold, and dismissive--as if helping us was the last thing she wanted to do. But what hurt the most was how the situation escalated when we tried to speak up. Her manager, Javier, didn't just ignore our concerns--he made us feel even worse. Instead of offering a solution or even a basic apology, he treated us with the same hostility and made us feel like we were the problem for expecting decent service. I've never felt so disrespected and harassed at a restaurant. It ruined the entire meal and left me feeling upset long after I left. No one should be made to feel that way when they're simply trying to enjoy a meal out. I will never return to this location, and I hope management seriously reconsiders how they allow customers to be treated. read more

Decent spot for a big group or casual family meal. There's a wide variety of food, but quality was hit or miss -- some items were tasty, others felt overcooked or not so fresh. Staff was polite, but the dining area could've been cleaner. It works if you're just looking for a quick, filling bite without high expectations. read more

The food was TERRIBLE!!! No seasoning under cooked chicken, fish, everything was dry. Talked to a manager who refused to refund us after spending almost 100$ but wanted to offer us two free meals there was 5 of us and all 5 of us didn't enjoy ANYTHING. As a restaurant and their management it all could have been better. One of the guest that came with me was her birthday, she took a bite of chicken to see it was raw! This is such a sad excuse for a buffet I don't remember it being so bad a few years ago! This place has gone down hill & should just close! If there was a way to leave ZERO stars I would! DO BETTER!!!! read more

I cannot believe that they put this golden corral at only three stars, because we definitely give it four stars. We were there this morning for breakfast and have been there multiple times for breakfast lunch and dinner and our opinion is that it is one of the best golden corral in the area consistently. We say that about their food as well as their service. It is our go to Golden corral every time. read more

Alright.... to start food was pretty cold and bland I dont know why, I was getting stared at which kinda ruined the ambiance and service wasnt bad it's just that i felt pretty uncomfy there and ive felt pretty unwelcome as Margie G said read more

I went to Golden Corral and my experience was good by the waiters but what made my experience awful was seeing how rudely the employees where treated by the management there's a manager specifically that ive seen being ugly to customers as well I will not be going again. Not to mention they don't do a good job at managing I've been a few times and had my last straw when a table behind me they found a little roach in their drink and I've seen a few bugs in there as well when one employee was trying to make it go into the dust pan. Their drinks taste awful as if they aren't filtered but if you like that kind of stuff go ahead and make your way over there. read more

Good food for cheap. Clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. The food options were good and a nice selection. The bakery could use some more tasty cakes. The sign on the food could be better some had it and some didn't kind of had to guess what it was. I will be back read more

Food was good and fresh good costumer service. I would highly recommend coming for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner.

I called up to see what manager is losing sales for this location: at first they said "no manager", when I said "I just spoke with a lady wearing a jacket that said management team" They then said "Mariana or Mirna" This is my favorite location but it looks like it's under bad management now. I showed up during the end of lunch hour and was in line for the last 5 minutes. They purposely do not keep multiple on the register at this time to make sure you pay dinner price. They did this to me and a family in front of me. We both told them we were already here for the lunch price. The manager was called and she was rude about it so we walked out. This same lady look me right in the eyes and walked to the back when it was 3:58. They know what they're doing over there. Too bad they'd rather make the extra 5 dollars than to keep me and my family as customers. The owner of this franchise should know how unprofessional and gimmicky the manager was being. read more

I f**kin LOOVED IT , it was clean fully stocked nuthin looked old or burnt or under cooked ... plz come and tip the friendly staff and get full quiet comfortable and cozy good cookin makes me feel good ! read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - Everything was good on this plate !!!! - Buffets Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

My family and I love this location and have for years. I was so glad when they reopened after closing during the pandemic. Significantly better tasting and service than any other Golden Corral location. Good ol' Pasadena cooking. Also the breakfast on the weekends is amazing. read more

Nice location with decent spacing. Had a warm greeting when we walked in. The food itself was really salty so I basically tasted some Of what I picked up and couldn't enjoy it. The stake was cooked well of the grill but I think who ever is dressing these meals needs to stop or be replaced. It's like someone took a bottle of salt and emptied it out on the stake. Server was really nice and kept checking in on us which was really nice. Thanks Yessica really great service. read more

I hate to admit that we drive 30 minutes to get to a Golden Corral, but we do. This place has great service, great food and is always busy. The staff keeps the plates cleared and the place is clean. The desserts could be better, especially the cheese cake, but I keep going back so the food must be good. read more

First time visit to this location. I was pleasantly impressed by how clean it was! Lots of food choices and very tasty. If anything was empty they were quick to put more food out. Gerry was our waiter and he made sure our drinks were refilled and plates picked up. read more

I should have known better. GC seems to have "been going down hill" in quality for a number of years. Not sure why I tried it again. Nothing even looked appealing much less was, and this was at 5:30pm, prime dinner time. 13yo had fond memories of GC, but she lost her appetite before she put anything on her plate. Most satisfying item and the only one that met any sort of expectation or was "decent" was the Diet Dr Pepper. Horrible value for the $. Buyer's remorse does not begin to describe it. Hate wasting money, but that's how I felt as we left. read more

Lots and lots of delicious foods to choose from. Be careful you don't eat to much. Every course is there for the taking, and you get to choose whatever you like. I have never seen so much food in one place at a good price. Of course I'm eating as a Senior Citizen now. Oh well I love the Golden Corral. It's awesome. David Bryant Sr. read more

I was pleasantly surprised that this buffet was not only clean and well managed but the food was hot and delicious. The staff was nice, very responsive and all the employees had mask on! I was skeptical because of the low star rating up this location is great! I would go back. Y'all keep up the great work! read more

This location is Nasty. from the front door with fingerprints, the carpet when you enter and I'm sure its the original one when place was built. The restroom have not been updated, same toilets, same ones....The coffee cup had coffee stains on the outside and I had to put my finger on it for the waitress to See it. the napkins dispenser on the tables were all nasty, they were not washed off in minute...You could spell your name...I went there because someone wanted to go never again read more

Left a second star only because I technically didn't leave hungry. The food was the most random spread of nonsense I've ever experienced. My kids seemed to enjoy it though. *Not speaking for all the staff but just the one lady that bussed our table.* The server was rude and inconsiderate* I expressed over and over again that I did not speak Spanish but she kept on anyways. She spoke perfect English though with other patrons that I guess appeared whiter than me. Finally after her 6th attempt I had to be stern and state that I can't understand her. At this point she walked off and ignored us for the remainder of our stay. read more

Apparently they got slammed right before we got there, because the host/waiter who showed us to our table told us and the other staff repeatedly. He brought us to a table with dirty dishes sitting on it, grabbed those, and did a quick swipe with a rag. And although he apologized about it, the floor under and around the table was filthy - food everywhere that we were stepping on in order to sit down. I would have gladly waited at the front while they cleaned off the table and took 2 minutes to run a broom over the floor. The food is just ok. I guess that's what you get at a "jack of all trades, master of none buffet". Large selection, but nothing really stood out. There was a hair in the salad bar, which I told the employee behind the bar about and she quickly took care of it. The rolls are actually really good. The desserts are average, at best, but definitely try the chocolate fountain - that was fun. read more

This place has the most disrespectful manager I have ever met. He has poor customer service skills. People came in with a dog not a service dog but a dog no vest or anything told him we uncomfortable sitting there he told us we could leave so we got up ask to be refunded and he talked real rude to my wife. I will never visit their establishment again read more

We got great service from our waiter but as someone that doesn't eat meat and opts for vegan options there is nothing that I could eat besides the salad bar. Even the beans have pork, all the beans did except the Lima beans. I was craving the barbecue beans to my dismay it had pork. Even the clam chowder had pork not that I'd eat it but never heard of such a thing. I'd be delighted once they add vegan options. read more

Food was horrible, salmon was not fresh, ribs had too much fat and the meatloaf was stringy. Customer service as-well was not good. The people behind the dessert area were on their phones and the waiter lied about the coffee being fresh. I would not recommend this to ANYONE! read more

Everything was good and tasty. We got full quickly. The only thing I didn't like was the apple pie was cold. Like who eats an cold apple pie. read more

Horrible food !!!! if there was less then one star, I would have checked that box!! My family (6) went at 5pm, spent close to $100. food was disgusting. All the food was cold, like it had been there all day. Even the "fresh rolls" were rock hard. The pie crust was rock solid as well. We will never visit GC again!! Especially for that outrageous price, we could have enjoyed a steak for that price. I even mentioned it to our waitress....who directed us to "just put that on the survey" which was listed on our receipt. Not a happy camper, to say the least. And to top it off we saw 2 roaches on the floor. Yuk, where is the local Health Dept. when you need them !!!! read more

They have added an awesome salad bar since I was, last there. I got a grilled chicken salad for $5.44! That is unheard of in the salad world. Sam, I think he is the manager, is super nice and even got fresh grilled chicken for my salad! (They were finishing it when I got there) . I'm a happy customer. I need to go there for lunch more often! read more

loved it !! we usually would go to the golden corral in baytown but that one was closed so we came to this one & it's amazing just as great as the one in baytown such great customer service the good was delicious great prices for an all you can eat place i totally would recommend this location to anyone and everyone (: as for the covid restrictions they provide you with a glove so you won't spread germs & they disinfect tables after every use , i am definitely coming here more often (: read more

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill - fried shrimp & Mashed Potatoes & Corn & Macaroni And Cheese - Buffets Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

I don't come here often, but when I do I make sure I get my fill. Always clean, and spills get cleaned up immediately. Staff is always friendly. Food is always good. Basic foods always out (salad, fruits, desserts, various meats like baked and fried chicken) though some days and times will vary for other foods like steak. Food is always fresh. I've never tried their Mexican food area. The only complaints I have is that they are a bit pricey (that 's why I don't go often) and their shrimp selection could be better. read more

Very good food. Always fully stocked wen we come. Waiters are very attentive. Every Time we come here I always see the management visiting tables and help cleaning when needed. Food line is sometimes messy but always being cleaned when told when it needs attention This is the only location we come to now because the one on gulf freeway sucks! read more

We wont be going back. Watched a group or family? they had kids but they went all around the restaurant using their hands to get food instead of tongs etc. They they were sticking their hands right into that chocolate fountain. We complained to management but they just said we didn't know what we were talking about, refused to put a stop to it, we left, we will never go back. read more

Great delicious food at a good price just like any other Golden Corral ,seafood doesn't stay full besides that everything else was top notch. read more
