    Wings, fried fish, sweet potato, pork ribs.
    Julia G.

    I don't know why all my Yelp reviews from before 4 years ago all disappeared, so here is my recent experience eating at this Prescott location today. I came here today on Memorial Day 2022, to eat Senior lunch at 3:50, which includes drink for $10.84 including tax, to eat the dinner menu that comes out at 4 pm. I am from Scottsdale, and just finished camping at Upper Wolf Creek group camp. Left there to make it to pay Senior lunch price at 3:50 and eat dinner menu at 4 pm. I talked to the manager about what dinner highlights they had tonight. He said in secrecy, that the had prime rib, left over from yesterday. He brought it out for me. It was medium well, that was all they had, but it was remarkably tender, like a pot roast. No au jus so I made the meat guy pour the sauteed mushroom juice from the bin, into my plate. It was really good. I was looking forward to eating the maple syrup ribs promotion that I saw in TV. Very disappointed. Look at my picture of hard and dry ribs, and bottle of sugar free imitation maple syrup. The hard crust on the ribs made it inedible, even on the other side. Ruined the expensive meat. But they just brought out fried catfish, hot and soft inside and crispy and crunchy outside. Really good, made me so happy! Also had posole, but it wasn't as delicious as I have had years ago at this same Golden Corral. And corn pudding in the photo was pretty good When I first arrived at 4 pm, so much of the food bins such as taco garnishes, shells, side dishes, were empty. Overall not enough people eating all this food, and it was getting all dried up, tho I saw staff adding water to the bins. I didn't even touch the sirloin this visit. Restaurant was not busy at all on this holiday. I'm fact now, at 6 pm, entire half of the restaurant is totally vacant, nothing but clean tables. Very good server, always checking on my welfare. Three stars for this visit about the food, food dried up in the bins, due to lack of turnover, hard-as saddle leather ribs. but 5 stars for my server.

    Paul is the man! This gentleman was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. We had a terrific experience. Our waitress was Miriam and she did a great job as well. Food was wonderful- I've got only positive/ good things to say about this location. I would recommend to anybody!

    The best part of the meal turned out to be the soup and salad.

    We were so excited to see the Golden Corral sign after moving to Prescott. We had enjoyed it very much in California, at the Chino Hills location. We were also excited to see a buffet come back after the Covid hiatus. Were we ever in for a disappointment! We arrived a few minutes before 5 pm on a Monday. We were a bit dismayed to see that the senior "early bird" price ended at 4 pm. I've heard of "senior citizen dining", but 4 pm seems pretty darn early! We asked for the classic dinner buffet which was $14.99 for seniors. The young man at the counter (named Kaden) asked for our drink order & we gave it. As he fetched our drinks, we commented a bit more about how early the cut off was. Kaden then said rather rudely, "Are you going to eat or not?" We looked confused and said, "Of course". He said, "OK, because some people get drinks and change their minds." We paid, thinking Kaden needs some customer service refinement, which he probably won't get as there was a prominent "help wanted" sign in front (typical of nearly every restaurant in the greater Prescott area!) Note: The bus girl was very nice and efficient! The restaurant was not crowded and it was easy to get to the food areas. There were 3: salad and soup, main courses, and desserts. The salad offerings were decent, and I like salad, so I filled a plate. I chose clam chowder from the three soup offerings. The salad was fresh and the fixings were plentiful. I particularly liked the cranberries and crunchy Asian style noodles. The clam chowder was tasty. As it turned out, the soup and salad were the ONLY good things at this restaurant! For my main course, I chose the steak. It is made to order. I asked for medium, a small piece. The cook made it and gave it to me. I added a small baked potato in an aluminum foil jacket. There were no utensils near the food area so I had to mash open the foil with my fingers to be able to add melted cheese, mushrooms, and onions. I wanted raw onions but only cooked ones were available. I added a bit of macaroni and cheese and a small chicken wing to my plate, and went back to our table. The steak was awful. It was cooked okay, but it was chewy and not the least bit juicy or flavorful. I only ate a little of it. The baked potato had seen better days. It tasted and looked like it had sat in the warming tray for 6 hours. The melted cheese was good, but that was about it. The mac and cheese tasted okay. The chicken wing was horrid. It was hard and unyielding, and also appeared to have baked under the warming lights for most of the day. Finally, to the desserts - usually my favorite part of a meal. This was a bust as well. The red velvet and chocolate cake were stale. The chocolate pudding tasted "off". Peach cobbler tasted like it was dumped from a can. The chocolate-coated marshmallows were pretty good, but that is hard to do wrong. My husband had similar feelings about his meal. His steak was not tasty and he left most of his peach cobbler, even though that is his favorite dessert. He said the pot roast was pretty good. We left the restaurant very unhappy. I do not know if we will be back.

    If you want a lot of choices at a decent price and decent food. Not the cleanest restaurant but for the traffic it is not bad.

Our friend tried to get the waitress' attention when they made eye contact and the waitress didn't seem to care to come over until my friend took a bite (by then she didn't feel it was worth it to say anything with the way the waitress was). The crab cakes were pretty bland and not worth $20. The waitress didn't check up on us again until we were done and came to refill my ice tea one time but halfway. We were excited to try this place but sadly it seems like we came on a bad day. I will say that the hostess was super bubbly and nice we loved how welcoming she was. The inside of the restaurant was pretty and loved how small it was.

Experience it. Learn from what you experience and take that back to Prescott. In sum, the food (while Italian style) was not at all representative of authentic Italian culture. The warmth of being in an Italian home like many establishments throughout Italy and the U.S. was not present. And the food! The sauce was amateurish at best - composed of huge chunks of canned stewed tomatoes than actual sauce. The chicken (in my Chicken Parmesan) was intensely dry and rubbery which tells me that the breasts we're made and then frozen. The pasta was regular cheap grocery store pasta. The salad - "Italian" dressing - tasted it came from a commercial brand. Lastly the service, was ok at best. No one offered or was even around to give us fresh grated Parmesan cheese or fresh cracked pepper in our salad. The bread served on the table was good and our Aperol Spritz was excellent. Overall, I suppose we should have expected this... ethnic food in a small town is far more "miss" than it is "hit" but I did appreciate how warm and inviting the atmosphere is. Sorry... I just want people who come from out Of town who have traveled and experienced many beautiful versions of of the Real Thing... this is not that.

There is a coke machine and ketchup packets as condiments and straws but no utensils, which are brought out with the food. Food arrived hot with two generous sized chicken tenders, really nicely spiced and breaded. Fried just perfectly where the chicken was nice and tender and juicy. The waffle has bubbles throughout it and honestly reminded me of less sweet funnel cake. The maple syrup was perfect compliment to the spices on the chicken. All in all really good and a nice portion (could have finished it all but I would've been in a food coma and I still had to drive back to the verde valley!) Definitely worth a first and second try!

We were even here for Christmas Eve and they did a pretty good job of getting us in and fed in a timely manner. Not so today! Our reservation was at 12:30. They said the kitchen was backed up and we needed to wait. OK so we waited. At.1:15 we finally got seated. And that was in the overflow room, not the main dining room, which is fine. But apparently the person serving us not only was serving our room, but upstairs and outside as well. I had ordered a mimosa which is fine, but I asked for either prickly pear or cranberry juice. The waiter asked if orange juice was OK if they didn't have any other juice and I said yes. So I got orange juice which was fine until I thought about it. They have a Cosmo on a menu so of course they would've had cranberry juice. Within placed our order and he told us it would be about 20 minutes because the kitchen was still backed up. 20 minutes came and went. An hour later we still hadn't gotten our food. My brother and sister-in-law who had just moved to town we're done and ended up leaving before even getting our food. We finally got ours and it was good, but my son ended up having to leave early so he could let the dog out. She had been inside for over four hours and she's 15. They did end up taking off their orders. So that was good, but then the manager asked if we wanted to try their raspberry chocolate mousse. I said maybe to take home but that we needed to leave. So she brought out one. I knew there were three of us. And we had been waiting for over two hours for our food. Really? They couldn't have given us three? I almost said something, but I was just so done and so upset. Now I have to apologize to my in-laws! Would it have really killed them to give us three of those? Or a lemon cake along with it? Which I do dream of. It's fantastic! I don't remember our server's name, but it wasn't his fault. He tried to keep us informed on everything. It's basically the management, which needs a complete overhaul, they need more staff, or they need to train their staff better, or all of the above. I will not be going back there for holidays at all. And I probably won't be going back there for dinner or anything else in the near future. There are other restaurants in town.
