Located right on US Hwy 19 in Springhill this location has been operating since 2013. It's the closest location since Covid hit and closed down our only one in Citrus county.
Their servers are very friendly and conscientious of their customer's needs. Yes, their prices just like every other eating establishment has gone up during these hard economic times but I feel it's still a great deal for the all you can eat variety of food they serve.
They have a very extensive salad bar where I make the salad of my dreams! I really enjoy their imitation crab salad that I put on the side.
Three selections of soup are served daily - today's choices were Chili, New England Clam Chowder and Chicken Noodle. My hubby alternates between their Chili or the New England Clam Chowder while I prefer the Chicken Noodle soup. Their broth while light still has plenty of flavor and it's stocked with celery, carrots and wide egg noodles with chicken meat throughout. Very good and comforting to my soul!
Most of their entrees rotate according to the day but there are some that's a regular offering. Baked and fried chicken, broiled and fried fish, pot roast with carrots and potatoes, Bourbon chicken, Meatloaf topped with a tomato sauce, pizza, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti casserole - just a few to mention.
Love vegetables? This is a go to place for veggies! Along with their salad bar they serve cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, carrots, black eyed peas, beans, fried okra, corn, usually four types of potatoes, whipped, French fries, seasoned fried potato wedges and a potato casserole with Cheddar cheese on top.
After all that - their dessert bar is just waiting for you and calling your name! Various cakes, cookies, brownies and pies plus puddings and soft serve vanilla or chocolate ice cream and all the candy toppings and whipped cream to decorate your choice to your hearts content! I certainly enjoy their carrot cake that's loaded with shredded carrots and chopped walnuts with a delicious cream cheese frosting that's not too sweet. I take comfort in the fact that it has a healthy vegetable in all that scrumptiousness!
To me Golden Corral is an 3 1/2 star rating - depending on who's cooking that day because if they're not experienced enough some meats and casseroles can be over cooked and dry. Like today the pork steaks were way over cooked for as thin as they were. What a shame - they smelled great and were tasty but were tough to chew. The French fries were hot and crisp but way too salty. My grandkids even complained about them to the point they refused to eat them until I took a napkin and wiped off each French fry so they were edible!The broccoli was limp and tasteless - even the Cheddar cheese sauce couldn't revive it! Meatloaf was a little too overdone on the outside so I just ate the middle which was still delicious.
I still consider Golden Corral a great deal for AUCE decent tasting food and all you can drink for a price of $ 13.38 for an adult meal with friendly servers! I hope you give them a try and support this restaurant! read more
