My parents and I haven't been to this location in quite some time and wanted to change up our dinner options, so we went here. The servers were attentive and super kind, always checking in on us and I even noticed how other servers were making conversation with customers, making them welcome. The food I got was good, however not everything was a bit as some items like my chicken and steak weren't fully cooked in spots, and did not have much in terms of flavor. However, considering a buffet constantly makes food in bulk for everyone, it would be foolish to expect everything to be perfect. For a big group or family, this is perfect but if I think with how small my family is, we would probably just go to another restaurant. Prices are fair so I would recommend you try it out if you are looking for buffet style in the area! read more

I cannot emphasize enough how disgusting this place is. Save your money and your stomach. First, it is wildly overpriced for what you get. You are paying a premium to eat in conditions that are absolutely filthy. The serving area was a disaster, food spilled everywhere, and a general feeling of grime. It felt like eating out of a pig trough. And the food? It is pure upchuck. where's the ketchup - Lukewarm, old, and unappetizing. Nothing looked fresh, and the quality was so bad it was genuinely nauseating. The whole experience, from the chaos of the busy crowd to the complete lack of cleanliness, made me regret walking in the door. Would you recommend it? Absolutely not. Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else. Hope the health dept shows up. read more

This was the worst food I ever experienced. The location is accessible and does have parking. The service was horrible and the food was disgusting. When you walk in something tells you to leave but we kept walking in. The food looks disgusting, the floors were dirty and it smelled soo bad.I seen employees eating in corners talking food from open food bins on the floor. I cannot believe this place is open. Do not come here! read more

I went to this restaurant about a week ago. While this restaurant would never be considered high cuisine. It isn't that bad of a place. The staff seem friendly from the area where you pay to get in; to the attendants that take care of your empty plates and keep your soda cup full. Again, this is no high-end restaurant and anyone that expects it to be for this price, needs to get real. The food here is good for the price it's fresh and well laid out. There is a great variety of types of food that is served. There is Mexican food there is Italian food and there is just regular American food. And while others have said, otherwise, I visited the restroom and found it acceptable. So for those who want to fill up on fairly good food like you would have at home this is the place. If you want high-end cuisine, you'll have to go looking somewhere else. read more

We knew when we went what we were getting into so just as long as you know what this is you'll either pass or you'll go... Huge buffet everything was mediocre. I did find the stuffing, the black beans, and the collards to be good. They had made to order eggs, which were fine... But everything else was bland, blanched, cafeteria style, etc.. read more

We have eaten at the Golden Corral many times and enjoyed it but not tonight. The food was cold and dry and the steak was not the same as it usually was. The desserts were lousy and the cakes were stale. I just learned that the Springfield, MA location is for sale which explains it all. read more

The actual buffet food is so good that if you've been here, then you'll wanna come back soon. There are options on how the steaks are cooked here so that anytime you want a steak from Golden Corral, then you can ask whichever steak you want cooked in (rare, medium, well done, etc.). The salad bar looks so good too! There's food options that aren't found at another buffet I've gone to (Hibachi in Manchester, CT) like fried okra, fried liver, steak, and more. They also have a selection of Thanksgiving side dishes available to patrons seeking a Thanksgiving style buffet throughout the month of November including Stuffing and Sweet Potato Casserole. They even serve a birthday dessert dish for those who go here on their actual birthdays. I was served a red velvet cake with frosting on it for my birthday here. The plates are always sanitized before they're served. The staff are awesome, and I am pleased about their courtesy. That buffet overall is a wonderful experience! I went there the first Sunday of November 2023 for my birthday dinner with the whole family, trekking up 40 minutes north of my place in CT. I am pleased about food options, employees and a whole lot more that you can think of. Considering it is the only actual buffet for miles despite no highway access nearby (although it is on the state route with a mall and other plazas nearby), Golden Corral is not only Springfield's premier buffet, it is also the buffet capital Western Mass. I can't believe how packed it was that day although a little surprising considering I went on a weekend and to the fact that it happened on Sunday. Loads of people eating here with barely any tables available. WOW! read more

The restaurant smells of sewer! It's disgusting! How can the Board of Health pass this place? The restrooms smell the worst but the odor is out near the food! read more

I use to go here often and the food was good. I went here on 10/25/24 and the food was lacking. The collard greens had so many big stems in them, some of the food was bland, the ice cream tastw funny, and the selection wasn't that great. Definitely not the Golden Corral I remember. They hadn't even start cooking any steaks yet and me and familyngot there after 3pm. The friend chicken was the best for me. To top it all off, the bathrooms were DISGUSTING. Nothing worse than going to a reaturant and the bathroom is nasty and you can't go because they're filthy. Pooped splashed all in the toilets. I felt bad for the handicap lady needing to use the bathroom when I was in there. They need to do better. read more

The food here is great. Great atmosphere and service. However..I would not suggest using the ladies room. The facility stinks to high heaven. The metal is covered with mold. As well...so is the washing area. It is hard to stay in there just to use the facility. Go before you go here. read more

Delivery was prompt. Food was still warm. Fried fish, coleslaw, potato salad. Piece of carrot cake. All just fine priced well for delivery. I was happy with it and will order again. Return not so good. Website was not working. My order was placed for pick up but I cannot get there right now. Lots of confusion. I am being charged for an order I never got. People at the restaurant just kept saying they could not help me. One man says place a second order through door dash and I will send this one. Yelp does not go through door dash. I ordered but door dash has my first name different. I called to tell him. More confusion. Second order did not even compare to the very first. Oh well. I thought I had a keeper here. read more

Food was okay but the Janitor was sweeping while we were passing by with food, GROSS.

Selection of food was very limited, nobody spoke English so it was hard to even let them know we needed a table for 2, deserts were very sparse ice cream and icee machine broken. Overall nowhere close to the locations in Florida that I have been to. I highly recommend avoiding this location I will be sending their corporate office a long email about how poor our experience was. read more

Well I haven't been to Golden Corral in years, so my son and I came here since my husband is at work and won't be back for awhile. We checked in, paid for our food and sat. My son went and got his food first and I went next. It was really crowded here, but everyone was nice and got their food really fast. Next, our waitress Yanica came and greeted us. I asked her how would I give her a tip if there is no place on the receipt? She said I would have to go to the cashier and use you credit card again or if I have cash, I can give it to her. Well I very rarely use cash, so since I paid for the food, my son paid her tip. I really don't like that idea. Why would a restaurant make you use your card twice? Than I was really upset. My son knows that I use plastic forks and knives at restaurants, so as I was getting my food, he went and got the money for the tip and also had to pay for plastic. I was furious. Why would you have to pay $.50 for plastic? My son didn't tell me until we were leaving. That is insane. I would never pay for plastic anywhere. There is a Walgreens across the street and I would've went there and purchased a box of forks and spoons before I paid a restaurant that I just paid $40 to dine at. Last, the kids that were there was looking at the guys who were wearing the bird and the scooby doo costume. I was in questioned as well as to why? One of the kids asked her mom why was the man wearing ears? So that should let you know that he didn't have a full costume, he had on the costume showing his face. They were also cleaning plates and etc. If I had to do it all over again, I would stick to what I selected to eat. I'm not a big eater, so I ate one scoop of bourbon chicken, fried shrimp, steak that I barely touched, a salad, and mashed potatoes. I had a ice cream cone as we were leaving, but threw it in the trash. The food was seasoned pretty well, just didn't want to eat seconds. I also had fruit punch to drink. It was ok, but not great. I very rarely eat buffet food and I see why. When you see kids that get their food and start eating before they get to their seats with their hands. Or you see them eating corn and take the same hand they started licking and use the serving utensil to pick up other food, you just lose your appetite. Also when you see an adult sticking her head under the glass to get one of the cooks attention to bring out more food, you just don't want anymore. That person was literally talking over all the food in that area. Also, why would you have a hand sanitizer machine for people to use, but nothing is in there. Many people went to try including me to get some and nothing. They even told the lady they were out. Wow, really? Sad I'm a really picky person especially if I'm paying for my food and my family's. I really love "Yelpers" because I can read their comments, add mine, and compare our reviews. Not too much of a difference with the score at this restaurant. read more

Food was disgusting, didn't have any quality, the server who gives the steaks at the grill house puts His tip cup next to you to make sure you give him something, and makes a face when you don't put what he wants ‍ Very dirty place it isn't kept clean and neat. This place is worse than I remember coming when I was in high school. read more

The one on Parker Street it's disgusting. I could not get comfortable knowing that children were running free, touching everything and the parents just didn't care and neither did the staff. read more

Very wide variety of food. Fresh and filling. I recommend. We went on a Friday night and had no wait. The only thing that was a little different compared to other Golden Corrals I've been to, was that someone actually seats us. Here you seat yourself which is ok. Our waitress was awesome and very nice. Very comfortable environment. read more

Food hot and fresh. Building needs some work but staff makes up for it. Great value for real food

The costumer service is terrible here. So I ended up paying for food that I end up changing my mind and had to argue with the manager to refund me the money since I changed my mind because the lack of food that they my child did not like plus the food did not look all that good. They also should add food for people that don't eat pork. read more

The first thing I got was the Golden Corral signature shrimps and they were delicious and the honey buns are amazing too. The price was pretty good for four people and the workers were really nice and cool. I enjoyed my time at Golden Corral Buffet! read more

This restaurant is always busy, which is a positive thing. We've gone there a good ten times. There are so many good choices. We love the steak and ribs. Food is well cooked and delicious. We do the soup bar, salad bar, dinner bar then the dessert bar. We always love the food and service is great. read more

Today was my husband and my first time going back to the Golden Corral since Covid. I must say to me 'they are back'. When they first opened their doors as a new establishment their food was great... then not so great as time went on. But today everything was great and fresh and tasty. I am thinking they must have new cooks cause the food was tasty..... We really enjoyed it. We celebrated our 37th year anniversary there by having lunch. Wiuld be nice if they give us a free coupon to lunch on them as a gift to us for our anniversary. But we were not disappointed. read more

I personally do not agree with the 3.5 stars, although to each their own. My experience was met on top of completely refreshing! The wait staff were proactive and friendly. The manager himself was visible and jovial to everyone! I observed him throughout the entire restaurant checking in and being completely his authentic self. I appreciate kind people and the staff exuded my experience. read more

Will never come here again. Terrible! We have been to multiple gc on the east coast and this one was by far the worst. Food was not even warm. Thought I would be safe with cornbread. Nope. I think it was last night's leftovers. So very hard. Taste was good but too hard. read more

I haven't been in YEARS!! Way back in college in Georgia a group of us would go eat there and I was never disappointed. The food is pretty good my favorite is those buttery rolls!! So good. The service is pretty decent. read more

I am not picky at all and truthfully my expectations weren't even high. Typically I can always find something I can stand to eat. But wow this place is terrible. The food is disgusting, the restaurant is disgusting, the plates and utensils are disgusting. Please do not ignore this review and please save yourself the money and go anywhere else. read more

Was super excited to find a Golden Corral in New England, was hyping it up to my boyfriend after having gone to a couple in the south. Maybe I was young and naive to think that it was anything else that a glorified Hometown Buffet. There are some differences between these two "American" buffets with Golden Corral having much more fresher foods with a Grill Area with steak and ribs and a chocolate fountain for dessert. This particular location had cotton candy as well which was a pleasant surprise but too much sugar for a dinner late at night. Wasn't too bad for dinner arriving around 5ish for a dinner for two. The line moved pretty fast grabbing a sweet tea and a water as we waited to be rung in and sat. We were sat at a small table and went to grab food while the waitress returned with some silverware. The selection of food had some southern comforts and seafood. Snagged a couple of fried jumbo shrimp with some mash potatoes and meatloaf. The food wasn't anything that wowed me but usually don't have them so was excited to gobble it up. For my second course, grabbed some clam chowder that I haven't had in so long and Chinese food. Again nothing more than filling my stomach. Decided to grab some nachos to treat myself and spotted the line for steak to be empty. Snagged a cut of steak that wasn't medium like I wanted but was juicy and tender. Golden Corral is a fun experience; a change up from the typical Chinese buffets that we all know but I will say that they have a niche when it comes to buffets. The food wasn't anything more than some American entrees that lacked seasoning and a wow factor. The waitress was attentive, occasionally checking in but I could see it in their eyes that they were tired of the crowds and wanted to call it a day. Families come here for the selection of food for the kids and the adults but somewhere between walking in the door and eventually leaving, parents forget that they are suppose to monitor and supervise their children, the chocolate fountain is a clear lack of parental watch and thus would highly recommend not partaking in. read more

If you are thinking about going to this place, save yourself the money and don't . Worst restaurant I've ever been in . Food is cold, workers are high and don't even serve you. Food taste like it's been collecting dust for a week. My hospital bill was not worth the visit to this place. Save yourself the hassle and go to McDonald's . Hope this place goes out of business. read more

Always the same food, nothing changes . We have had a few great wait staff though. Jojo is the BEST! but the options of food is limited and boring. They don't have what is advertised on tv read more

Was looking to use the chocolate fountain, then I watched 3 people stick their fingers in it.. place is very nasty and loud. Food was okay.

I ate here twice and both times I got horrifying diarrhea. The fried chicken is good though.

I had the pleasure of driving 2 hours each way to enjoy my thanksgiving dinner here yesterday. What a great relief not having to worry about the turkey being improperly thawed. Their food safety policies are followed to the Max. All of the food was hot and tasty. read more

This is the only Golden Corral in New England so it's always a somewhat of a treat when we're able to come here, usually after Six Flags or The Big E. I have mixed feelings about my experience tonight... It has been probably 8 years since I last ate here so walking in was confusing and I came with newcomers so that didn't help out much. The cashier didn't seem to have enthusiasm and just proceeded to ask us what we wanted for drinks with cups already flipped up, assuming we actually knew how the process went... After we got our drinks we weren't told to wait and the cashier was assisting other customers that just walked in and so we just seated ourselves which caused a bit of a commotion between staff until the cashier ran after us saying "you guys are gonna get me in trouble!" I guess we're supposed to pay up front and then a server comes and checks our receipt at the table. Haha I mean how were we supposed to know? Anyways, this was only the beginning of a very unorganized experience.. The food itself was actually good, and well stocked, even 1 hour before close. I didn't expect a grand, casino buffet quality kind of dining experience but overall I'm pretty happy with the variety and how the food tastes. Of course there are some foods I would avoid because they weren't rotated or don't look as appetizing but the staff did a good job keeping things nice and tidied up. Some of the must try foods are the prime rib, Mac n cheese, fried okra, fried shrimp, fried catfish, and roast beef. The worst thing I've tried was the clam chowder which was so unusually gooey, perhaps because it was there all day? I wanted strawberry for the chocolate fondue but they were all mushy and discolored. I can't expect much coming at 9pm but I can imagine if everything was fresh out the kitchen, it'd be very good meal. When it came to leaving, I was unsure whether or not to tip! Do people tip here??? There was no option to tip using credit card and we don't really carry cash. We asked the server how we could tip and we were told to see one of the managers at the register so he can charge our card and handle it there. Long story short, it was a very confusing process, causing ruckus between the managers and cashiers about tipping with credit. I still don't even know if tipping here is the norm or not. Either way, cash should be carried at all times because of situations like this. All in all, Golden Corral is a good choice for groups when it comes to deciding on where to eat after Six Flags or Big E but if you're at the casino, stay there and definitely go for their buffet instead. There seems to be lots of confusion and miscommunication between staff members here and they did not make it simple to understand how it works for newcomers. I'm still very curious to know if other people leave tips... read more

Terrible experience! Food was horrible, and there were no options. Vegetables were sitting in water and pasta was cold. Truly underwhelming, would pick the soup kitchen over this! read more

It was fine. Certainly not fresh. Cold gravy, stale buns. But fine for what it was. My 9 year old likes the buffet style.

Although the food was decent (I would not say good) the employees were extremely rude. I am a bigger girl and had gotten one plate of food then went up for ice cream. And in the midst of getting my ice cream I was informed that there were 3 people staying in the front where you pay staring and talking about me and how I looked. Not only is that not professional at all but also VERY discriminatory. Thankfully I live in New Hampshire where the Golden Corral is MUCH nicer and friendlier then this one. I can honestly say I will never come back here if this is how they treat every customer that is not as thin as they are. I would give 0 stars if I could. If you want to feel comfortable and welcome in a place you are eating DO NOT go here. read more

Tonight was the worst night. I didnt know that they would have so much of hot seasoning on their collard greens . I have acid reflux and so did my mom . Today was her birthday. Now she and I have to go home in pain with swollen throats and tongues me with swollen lips. I m so frustrated I have always ate here with my family and ate collard greens this never happen . They need to care for the costumers and fix the problems+ I spoke to the supervisor about it and he came back with a card saying that it is seasoned.Tjat doesn't indicate that it was spicy and hot. Some of us have health condition against hot spicy food we should have some type of notice informing us that the food would be spicy. I had to go home take 50 mg of Benadryl and a EpiPen. Oh the supervisor ask me do I have a EpiPen and said that I should ve brought it I ve never had trouble coming up here until this occurred Please make some changes and accommodations so others would nor have to go to bed with swollen lips and tongues. Along with a hot throat all fitting in a lot of pain Thankyou have a great day read more
