Food is good, price has skyrocketed and eliminated the niche they are trying to fill. No response from their customer service.

Original review Mar 13, 2024
We wentvto your Caldwell, Idaho lication just in time for your new price hike. At 37.00 with senior discounts, we can now eat for less many orher places. Your prices are up 50 to 100 percent . You are no longer competitive.

Not honoring a text message offer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Golden Corral - Not honoring a text message offer
I got a text telling me every Monday from the 8th of January till the 12th of February seniors from 60 and above could get an early bird special of 9.99 from 11am to 4pm. When I got there, which was from Stockton, which is about 30 miles from Elk Grove, I was told they couldnt honor it because it was a holiday. The text had no mention of a holiday or exceptions. I think that I should be given a free meal for the inconvenience of the trip and the text not saying there was an exception to every Monday.Thank you

Pros:
  • I love having a variety of food and the early bird special
Cons:
  • Not having regular staples like sweet potatoes
  • Not honoring an offer

Preferred solution: A free meal and an apology. There is no Golden Corral in my city, so not only no I waste gas, but I didn’t get a meal.

User's recommendation: Make sure it doesn’t go unaddressed.

Unpleasant visit

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Golden Corral - Unpleasant visit
We were staying in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and we went to the Golden Corral there. We got there at 6pm. The food was Terrible! There was very little food on the dinner bar and the food that was out was extremely old. We asked to speak to the manager but no one ever came and spoke to us.. I called the next day and asked to speak to the manager and was told again that the manager was busy and someone would call me back. They never have. We.live in Louisville Kentucky and go to Golden Corral at least twice a month. The food is always very good.

Employer was disrespectful

Golden Corral - Employer was disrespectful

I asked the manager if she can get me some meatloaf with out sauce,because me and my family are allergic to it. At first she said ok.

Then when she came back with the new batch she forgot, not to put the sauce on it. I was watching her and was not paying ATTENTION and did it anyways.i said why did you that. She said thats how it comes with an attitude.i was up set.then other people asked for it with out sauce and did the same. I did not like how she treated me or my family and other people too.

She is useing her authority the wrong way because she is a manager. This happened 02/11/2024 at 8696 brookpark Rd. Cleveland ohio 44129 store number #965 the manager name is nicole A.

First shift. Please help fix this promblem, so this won't happen again to any one else.

To Inquire About an Opportunity

I called the Killeen location on Sunday morning to speak with Gm about my application for management so call Danica answered the phone very rude telling me hes not taking calls and dont call about hiring on a Sunday she used very unprofessional foul language with me. I asked her how does she have employment with her type of attitude with the Gmanger on duty with her and not be reprimanded for how she spoke with me on the phone.

I asked her to please put the general manager on the phone she says hes not taking calls hung the phone in my face. I called back she Danica answered and told me with foul language not to call back. I was flabbergasted to be spoke to as such. In all my years in business professionalism has never encountered behavior in such a manner.

All I wanted was to take the time to see when the Gm would be interviewing for the Asst manger position. To be treated with disrespect by an employee is beyond me. As a restaurant manger running a business I would not put up with such malice. Its unacceptable terrible for business and she definitely does not deserve her job.

Had I been the owner just to check on my business mystery shop perhaps to check the professionalism on how my employees managers etc. handle customers shed fail miserably.

In my closing I would like to speak with someone from cooperate. At this point I am deserving of the position I applied for so I can show individuals how you handle business professionally by representing the company with meek humbleness building sales and revenue not sabatoging the business with unfiltered unprofessionalism.

You can forget ever getting the job now by complaining. And here’s an FYI.

Show up in person, dressed in clean neat clothes.

Ask the GM your questions at that time. If you can’t fall in line, how are you ever going to lead?

Bad experience

My Church members and I visit the Golden Corral twice a month on a Sunday. The last few times, the experience has been not good.

The employee that is in charge of the cashiers and waitress, attitude has not been good. On Sunday February 25, 2024, I had a party of 14. 10 were in the line waiting to pay for their meal. 4 was a few minutes behind us.

I have elderly women with me. This Sunday, an elderly woman could no longer stand when they can no longer stand and needed to sit, she found a table and told the waitress, she had a party of 14. When the lady in charge spoke with the elderly, she wanted her to move and the elderly lady moved.

The way she was spoken to was not respectful. We are thinking about going eat somewhere else, after church.

Telling you to do something that you do not want to do is not the same as being disrespectful, Now if she said get the fluck out of the seat that would be disrespectful.

To Inquire About an Opportunity

Employee Danica was very rude and disrespectful towards me on the phone when she lied saying she was the General Manager. I told her by her tone and unprofessionalism I knew she wasnt the store manager. She presumed to curse me and hung up the phone in my face. I called back and told me to go and f myself hes not hiring. im appauled that the Gm allow his employees to talk to customers as such on the phone very unacceptable and not good for business. so im asking that a mystery shop be done by cooperate to further prove how nasty the employees are to customers

Tired of Illinois advertising

Illinois doesn't have you guys anymore we are tired of seeing your ads when we don't have you guys to go to. So I can say it's not fair for you to when we aren't able to go eat with you guys when you aren't in state anymore. We aren't going to travel to another state just to eat with you guys. Illinois no longer have you guys. Again we are not going to travel to another state to eat at Golden corral. So please only advertise only in states that you are located. So I don't want to ever see any more ads on TV ever again. Please stop
