Change prices on holidays .

Like on mothers day I was on the road and I went to eat and the price was 16.24 and the week before was 14.62 than last night was 14.74 and I'm a truck. driver and I didn't have my mom with me.I don't think it is right.

I eat at golden corral all the time. But I'm not anymore if this is going to happen. My name is john m smith my address is 412 w copper St Ripley Mississippi 38663.I'm a over the road truck driver .I really like the food but not the price change all the time.

I ask why the price change they said don't know but that's a lot off bull. Me and my friend will have to go somewhere else.

there's a price change because on holidays they have extra meat options usually

Guest

You might be off on a holiday, but there are people who for whatever reason work in restaurants and they don't get holidays. There's probably an incentive to get people to come in and wait on thankless people on a holiday.

Guest

I thank seniors should stay away from golden corral. Me and my wife was paying 17 dollars for lunch.

drinks included. Went there today almost 24.00 dollars had to pay for drinks. All I heard was sorry.

I did notice that there was not any seniors in there but me and my wife. I told her I was done eating there also so seniors if you are reading this, lets all stay from this place,

Guest

They do this, thought everyone who has eaten there on holidays knew it. The reason is because they offer a wider variety of meats/vegatables, etc. Many buffets, chains or otherwise, do the same on holidays.

Guest

Dude... The tax rates different in each county.

Illegal aliens are being hired

The Golden Corral in Laredo, Texas has been hiring Illegal aliens, using someone's else Social Security, most of the employees that work there are in this situation. The managers there know this for a fact and they continue to hire people like this, the reason; they mistreat their employees.

The mangers cut their paychecks 30 min (even if the employees took no breaks during the day) they do not pay them overtime or any of the hours the extra hours they put in for that matter. Managers, specifically one, they call her Mary, yells and disrespects her employees in front of the rest of the employees and sometimes customers, because she feels entitled to do so. Employees quit regularly because of this mistreatment but the undocumented ones, stay since they need the job they take the humiliation and the unfair payment. I know this from sources that are currently working there.

I think its unfair that no one can stand up for themselves and that the people doing the hiring are taking advantage of the situation of their employees.

Durty Dishes

I love going to the Golden Corral, we been going for many years,first because of your price very good for a family that is living pay check to pay check, and once in a while wants to take the family out to eat and have fun and away from the kitchen, any ways I am upset. Because on Saturday May 31 2014 my family and I went out to eat and most of your forks, spoon and plates was not wash clean, I had to go through about 10 durty forks before I could get to a clean one, this is unhealthy, and nasty I did not want to eat I am so disappointed about this.

Rude Service Review

Visited the Golden Coral on North plesantburg in Greenville SC. Met with rude front service/cashier. Food was absolutely Horrible!!!!! Bacon was dripping. In grease, pancakes were almost raw the ONLY thing that tasted good was the coffee. Couldn't eat any of it. We wasted our time and money here. Will NEVER come back and will advise or friends the same.

Golden Corral - Bad Food Review from Madisonville, Kentucky

Food was mediocre and service was horrible. My husband and I along with our two small boys ate at the Golden Corral in Shiloh, Illinios and was very disappointed in everything the price the food and the service. We never got any refills, no one even came to our table period. My mother, brother and sister-in-law was with us as well and their service was just as bad. We also felt the store was not as clean as it should of been. Some servers wouldn't let have the kind of meat we wanted. We will not be eating at Golden Corral anymore. We will be going to Ryan's where its cheaper and the food as well are the service is way better

DO NOT USE THE STEAK SAUCE

Golden Corral - DO NOT USE THE STEAK SAUCE

Totally disgusting and unsanitary action. The waitress took the tops from at least a dozen steak sauce bottles, put them all in a glass of water, stirred it with a spoon, shook the residue water of each top back in the glass and replaced the tops back on the bottles.

The water was not steaming (not that that makes a difference). However, prior to replacing the tops, she took a moist cloth from her apron(used to clean the tables) and washed around the rim of each bottle. All I can say is what a way to spread all sorts of germs and disease! Now, what other condiments are they doing the same...ketchup, etc.

Yes, I took a picture and the assistant manager stated that this is the way they were trained. This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I can only imagine how many hands touched each top and now all those germs were added together in a glass of water.

Please do not eat at the Golden Corral in Lake Placid, FL.

Please take note of the picture below. The glass of water with the spoon,the remaining bottles of steak sauce and the waitress placing a top on another bottle before putting all the steak sauces back on the tables.

I noticed you mainly took a picture of her chest area, sick ***

Guest

LOL - I worked as a server at a GC and it's unbelieveble what they teach you - that same rag is also being used to wipe down all the bars all shift long - I know plenty of servers that repeatedly take dirty dishes to the back and return to the floor without ever washing their hands.

Guest

I frequently go to this Golden Corral and your complaints are valid. I will go on to say that the so called chocolate fountain is actually chocolate syrup and not melted chocolate.

The Bakery is pathetic they over proof the rolls so they are always hard. The other day they had chocolate pudding that was lumpy and watery. The Baker always looks frazzled. They do have some great wait staff.

When we went during Prime Rib month the prime rib was over cooked and dry and gray. While I ask for some that was cooked like the picture (and they way prime rib should be cooked) I was told by the manager that the over temp was set to high and they didn't realize it until after they had cooked all the prime rib...seriously. The problems with this Golden Corral is the franchise owner who is currently trying to sell it. I see no reason for him to cut corners since this Golden Corral always seems to have steady business.

The issues with no putting out fresh cooked food is because of the owner wanting to push the old cold food. If you live in San Antonio and don't mind a little drive I highly suggest you visit the Golden Corral in Universal City, Texas. They have a excellent bakery and all the food is constantly made fresh, it is clean and well maintained the servers are fast and friendly.

It is clear the owner cares about his franchise as it is reflected in the high standards they continue to maintain. It's a shame the owner of the one located just outside of Helotes, Texas doesn't have the same pride in his business.

Guest

All golden corral locations are filthy. If you eat that filthy place you will find yourself rushing to the restroom soon after. You might as well eat out of a dumpster before you eat at diarrhea corral.

Guest

I worked as a server in a large, fairly expensive restaurant and you wouldn't believe what we were trained to do. Let me just say that no ketchup was ever thrown out (even if it was the last 1/2 inch at the bottom of the bottle)...it was dumped into another bottle to make it full.

This went on indefinitely and one night a ketchup bottle "exploded" in a customer's hand when he opened it. Practice continued however.

Guest

Not only the caps, but how about those salt and pepper shakers. Are those ver cleaned. Think about that next time you use them and your hand sticks to it

Guest

If you knew everything that goes on in the food industry, you would most likely never eat in a restaurant again. Plus you would probably decide to raise all of your food.

Nobody knows what goes on in the background.

When she said she doesn't know what it is, did you want her to lie to you? What would of been an acceptable response?

It's hard dog s.hit? It's a hair? Does it matter?? You didn't want to eat it anyhow..

Nobody ever died from eating an insect leg..

My guess is it's just plastic.. But keep telling yourself it's a leg!

What did the actual restaurant manager say when you requested to speak to him/her?

Rude *** annoying nuisance servers bother customers

everytime I go to golden corral esp this one on e colonial drive in Orlando, fl the servers can be very annoying and rude in different ways. some are nice others are jerks. I went recently and we had a tall blonde server lady. she was VERY loud and talking so loud it was a joke. and she would NOT stop bothering us about clearing our table or getting more drinks. normally this would be a good thing, but she was turning into a nuisance. we couldn't even eat. also she had the loudest most horrible voice just so loud and it was giving me a headache and she kept coming and getting close to my ear and talking really loud, and bothering us every few minutes. this dumb ignorant white trash waitress needs to learn how to do her job and not annoy customers this way. Also as I was walking up to get something, I was turning and she purposely just WALKED right into me and bumped into me on purpose. she saw me and walked right into me..why?? is she *** or a *** she saw me...she was walking right me and then just walked into me and hit me with dishes..huh?? is she crazy or messed up?? why would you blatantly just WALK into someone as you're looking right AT them and do it on purpose...this rude *** waitress just seems to like walking into customers for no reason... of course she did that on purpose just to annoy me or be a rude *** and act as if she has a right to just WALK into female customers this way, but on top of that, she wouldnt' stop bothering us and also talking so loud it made our ears hurt. she seemed to have no manners or anything and was talking about STRANGE things out loud with other customers and even some disturbing weird things which she shouldn't be talking about in a family restaurant. this rude woman was just out of control and needs to learn to have better manners and treat people with respect, not be a loud annoying irritating bothersome *** *** who walks into customers for no reason and bothers them every few minutes for no reason. in the end she even admitted she was being a bother!! why ?? there is so much white trash and so many *** brainless people that live in fl and Orlando and this is an example of them...total trash and losers... this person was tall blonde maybe in her 40's. it was just a really bad experience to have to deal with that. these people should do their jobs without bothering and upsetting customers in this way they don't have the right and spewing their ignorance onto others... can't you just go to this restaurant without being harassed by the idiotic *** servers that work there??

Ha! Good one!

Guest

Yeah I am sure she did it on purpose, walking right into you. She must have been thinking, I already pissed off this person how can I *** he off more.

Perhaps bump into her. Dream on, from reading your review I can tell you probably bumped into her because you were drunk and have not sobered up since then when you wrote this.

Guest

You would complain if she had ignored you too. All in all your complaint is awfully long and keeps repeating the same things over and over.

Guest

dealing with this obnoxious woman was a nightmare and no one should have to endure this or any other unprofessional *** server while trying to eat at a place. no one's dinner should be ruined on account of ignorant idiots who like to annoy and bother people for no reason.

Cracked my tooth on solid object in my food

I bit into a piece of liver meat which should have been without any bones or gristle I felt a cracking and crunch on one of my back molers. The manager wanted to dig throught dirty napkins to find the object I bit into but the buser cleaned up my table in the few moments it took me to get back to the table. I felt like they went out of there way to disprove my claim vs helping out a customer with a major issue! I'm ou $9 for the meal I couldn't Finnish and now have to go to the dentist putting me behind only gods know what now! I'm extremely upset about the concerns the manager had over the customers well being as well as the poor quality of food served at this establishment.

call the health dept and tell them the food there is cold and call code enforcement if you see any EXTENSION CORDS ANYWHERE plugged in.

Guest

Seriously, you go to an all-you-can-eat buffet, and you want to bring home a doggie bag? That's not only shamefully gluttonous, but an abuse of the whole all-you-can-eat concept. I cringe to think what this woman's child is learning from his mother.

Is your son by any chance named Aiden and does he have an account here by the username Fine Young Aiden?

Over crowded,food on the floors, no place to sit, unattentive waitstaff

New store, IS35 Temple TX.Breakfast,,,What wasn't on the hot tables,,Eggs,biscuits,bacon,sausage,hash browns,toast. No milk for cereal.What wasn't on the cold bar,, Empty fresh fruit bowls. Customers fighting over tables, Confused waitstaff, food laden kitchen floors, unclean mens restroom. Lots of ice under the drink machine for people to slip and fall. Empty food pans, people standing around to fill their plates and there's nothing there . Restaurant is extremely crowded, It is too small so is the parking lot. Who ever did the demographics for this GC got it all wrong. God help them if there is a fire. Would rather go to Mickey D's.

I would have immediately returned to the cashier, requested the manager and then a FULL REFUND. And left. Definitely complain to Corporate, if it is a franchise, which a lot are, they will forward your complaint to the franchise owner.

John N Mzy

Contact Golden Coral corporate. They have a website.

Tell them about this location. They need to know. If it is a new location, it's called "ironing out the bugs." Give them some time on that. As for the location and physical structure, etc.

make sure you tell them of the problems with parking, etc.

They are a fine company and one of my favorite restaurants. Try going to a GC in Killeen instead.

Guest

Wouldn't it say to you, that if it is overcrowded that it is extremely popular. As a whole a business is busier right away than after it has been there awhile.

When you saw how crowded it was did you leave or did you wander around looking for things that were wrong with it? To me it sounds like the latter.
