I order from here... Golden Corral Buffet & Grill Response from the owner Thanks for your feedback, Londa. We would like to apologize for your experience. If you could please email more information to us at we will have someone follow up directly.

Went last September the food made me sick at the one in Hialeah, Florida. They never really responded with any solutions. Will never go back.

GC DouglasvilleGa. The nastiest place I’ve ever seen for a food place. Everything was out on the buffet and what was there was cold and unfit to eat. The tea was very weak and the water had more flavor. It took us nearly 10 minutes to find a clean table because over half was filled with dirty dishes. Never again

Good Day all. You must read in its entirety to get the full experience. Please forgive me - this IS the short version! It occurred on Mother's Day, 5/11/25 (of ALL days) I was invited to attend a gathering at GC (Golden Corral) this particular extremely busy afternoon. First, I called the GC store 6 times before arriving at the location - no one ever answered the phone (OK, a busy day). When I arrived, I begged the manager to allow me to sit with my ten-member party which included children; and made arrangements to keep my "To Go" order ($34.32) behind the front counter as I sat at the dining table. While there, I ate NOTHING, drank NOTHING, as GC staff checked every 2 mins to be sure that I didn't. I was finally asked to leave approx. 20 mins after visiting with family. The mgr. told me that I could continue to visit IF I paid an additional $23.99 just to sit there. Since I didn't want to pay more than the $34.32 I'd already paid, I went to the front counter to retrieve the packaged food that was waiting there behind the counter. That same mgr. REFUSED to give me the food that I purchased, saying that I didn't ask for it properly, the way he wanted me to ask for it. GC's entire staff refused to give me my purchase and told me that I had to leave without it. I waited at the counter, as we went back and forth in this CROWDED (Mother's Day) GC restaurant. I requested my PAID FOR food for over an hour, to no avail. They just WOULD NOT give me the food that I purchased. By this time, it was utter chaos, and the other patrons waiting in line had begun to chime in, also advising the staff to just give me my food so that I could depart. No deal! They were adamant! Finally I DID leave as they had requested (without my purchase). As I waited outside the restaurant, after a horrifying and shameful debacle, a member of my party went back in to retrieve my order, and they too were told they COULD NOT have the item that I paid $34.32 for. P.S. While there, I was cursed by atleast 3 of the staff members (yep, they used the F-bomb) as they interjected their "take" on things. Additional info: The POLICE were called to the store over this! Since I did nothing wrong, the police suggested that I contact the GC corporate offices to get resolution, as it was a civil matter and was out of their hands. So without delay, I reached out to GC Corporate offices. To my surprise, I HAVE NOT heard back from them either. I have been calling and leaving a message every day, 2 or 3 times a day since the ordeal. All I've been able to do is leave a message, requesting a refund for services NOT rendered. Golden Corral does not deserve the business they do. This patron is "former" forever! I wouldn't eat there if I were you. They treated me AND my party horribly; FYI - I wouldn't have believed this story either, if only I hadn't experienced it firsthand. Thank you.

I asked cashier a question about the location, since I was from out of town and had never been there. Her reply was “Muy poco English”! I could not believe anyone in business in Texas would have a cashier that could not communicate with English speaking customers ❗️I guess that was the reason I only saw 2 other caucasian customers and NO Caucasian employees during our visit. I wanted some fish and shrimp and when I found their location, I was disappointed because there was one small piece of fish and three cold shrimp available 👎🏻. There were several employees talking and laughing farther back from the counter but I failed to get their attention 👎🏻❗️ The time was about 5:30pm and I thought that the Dinner rush would be in soon and there would be a priority to have all food containers filled! I never saw anyone that I thought might be a manager or supervisor. Numerous food trays were very low or almost empty and I saw very little effort to fill them or clean around the counter tops! The pizza that my wife tried was hard and dry from setting under the heat lamps I presume. The crab salad was good, but there was a limited amount available! The sweetpotato casserole was very good! EVENTUALLY the fish and shrimp trays were refilled and then within 5 minutes each were empty again 👎🏻! I waited again until those trays were refilled and again they were empty within 3-5 minutes! I wanted some chocolate ice cream to wrap up my dinner, but I found that the 3 handled ice cream machine had only 2 working handles and both had a VERY LOW QUALITY vanilla cream👎🏻❗️ We are from the Tyler, Tx area and we visit the Golden Corral on So. Broadway in Tyler regularly and I would RECOMMEND THAT LOCATION TO ANYONE 👍🏻❗️ This Towne Centre location in my opinion, is an embarrassment to the Golden Corral Name❗️If this had been my first visit to a Golden Corral Restaurant, I would NEVER set foot in another Golden Corral ❗️ I do hope that this can be seen from a customer who visits your Establishments across the Country 👍🏻❗️

We went to Golden Corral in Lima Ohio on Elida rd. and had broccoli and fish and mashed potatoes, all was cold . i spoke with manager and she refunded my money and proceeded to the buffet to check and remove cold food from steam table. I believe retraining of staff may prevent any future complaints .
