Golden Corral Reviews

My wife and I took our grandson, who just got home from the military, to dinner. When we arrived, the manager, who was very rude, was complaining to another manager about being out of lettuce.

We paid for three adult meals. When we approached the buffet, there was no chicken, no buns, very little steak, a small piece of ham, no mac and cheese, no fries, no meatloaf, and no sausage. I asked the older manager about the food; he said he was getting on it. But when the other younger manager approached me, he was very rude and told me that if I didn't like it, he would give my money back, and for me to shut my mouth or he would call the cops for me to leave immediately.

I paid with a 100 dollar bill; he gave my wife all 5s in return. I have been to this establishment more than 50 times and have never had an issue. I will never return, nor will I be treated in such a manner. I have a lot of friends; best believe I will tell all.

I'm a 60-year-old man, very respectful, don't cause any trouble, and have never been arrested in my life.

I'm not very happy with how he handled this; he shouldn't be working for the public, let alone your establishment. Also, he ripped the receipt out of my hands.

I forgot my cell phone in the restroom. After 10 minutes of eating, I remembered leaving it in the restroom. I proceeded to the restroom to retrieve my phone. It was no longer there. I then headed to the cashier to ask if someone had turned it in. I noticed she was holding my phone and explained to her what happened. She then proceeded to call the manager over. As they were walking towards me, I noticed that the two were communicating in Spanish as she handed him the phone. I explained to him that I forgot my phone in the restroom. He asked for the lock code, and I gave it to him as he unlocked the phone. I asked for my phone back, and he told me no, that I needed to prove the phone was mine. I explained if the phone wasn't mine, how would I know that someone turned it in after finding it in the restroom, as that's where I left it? Second, how would I know the lock code to it if it wasn't my phone? He said no! I can't have it back until I prove it's mine.

As he started to talk with the cashier and was focused on her, I grabbed my phone out of his hand. That is when he assaulted me by pushing me. I returned to my table to finish my meal. After a few minutes, he showed up at my table and proceeded to call me a *** and to leave the restaurant, all the while ranting and raving at me with numerous names and using profanity. All this was done in front of a packed restaurant, packed with customers. Very unprofessional on his part. As a manager, he should know this and lacked customer service. No customer service whatsoever was shown by this manager. I was given a refund and left eating my steak from my hand. The language he used in front of customers was very bad, and the names I was called were worse.

It was an embarrassing moment. The most embarrassing moment I have ever experienced in my lifetime. All because I made the mistake of forgetting my phone in the restroom!

We got there at 2:20; we were the second family in line and did not get checked in until 3:25 PM on 3/8 of 26. I was charged for four adult buffets, one kid buffet, and one senior dinner buffet.

There were only four adults, one child, and one infant at three months. I tried to bring this to the attention of the manager. I was told he would come to my table; I never saw him again the whole time I was there, and I asked for him not once, not twice, but three times. So now your company, Golden Corral, located at 3110 Ambassador Caffrey, Lafayette, LA 70506, owes us a dinner.

You can go back and look at your video cameras, and you will not see five adults. I hope and pray that y'all did not charge for a four-month-old baby in a carrier because, according to my receipt, that's exactly what y'all have done.

May 23, 2026, 6:15 PM. When I paid for my food, like always, I said let me get tip money out so when I'm done.

I told the lady in advance I want five dollars and five ones because I don't know what type of service I will receive, and I tip according to service. A debit card charged of $10 and then would not give me the money that's on the paper. When you finish eating, you give this paper to the waitress and she gets a tip. I said, well, I said a higher tip, but that doesn't mean she's gonna get that.

It depends on service, and they will not give me my money back. So I had to get the waitress to go up to the register with me, and then they gave me the $10 back in cash. The waitress had to sign off that I gave her a $10 tip, which is not a true statement, and she's gonna be wholly responsible for a $10 tip when I may give her less. The management made a big deal like they couldn't understand, but the waitress did understand the full issue.

She said she's never gonna sign off on none of this stuff again. I will not patronize this place for any reason.

They are rude, obnoxious, and management doesn't care; the corporation doesn't care. This was in [[PERSON_NAME] hwy, [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA] [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA]], [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA], off of [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA].

I order online with Doordash Delivery Service at ***. I almost always get Bourbon Street Chicken and Chicken Fingers Meal.

The first few times I would get the correct items as shown on the menu. The past 5 or more times, my order was always incorrect. They would mix Bourbon Street Chicken with rice, and I would not get fries as shown or stated on the Doordash site. When I call the restaurant and talk to the manager, I always get the same answer.

They always give rice with Bourbon Street Chicken, and they don't give fries with the meal, which is not true. To me, that is false advertisement!

Golden Corral needs to give their customers what they ordered and the way it is stated and shown on the delivery app. I thank you for your time.

We picked up foof to go on 5. 2026.

The pot roast was so bad even our dog wouldnt eat.the roast had some type of grizzly or musclé running through the meat we were trying to cut .we couldnt tear it apart,the carrotts were only half done.and that was not v the ususal gravy , all in all the expérience has been one of the worst si n ce we have been shopping at GG [PERSON_NAME] TIME

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME [PERSON_NAME] [GOVERNMENT_ID] @GMAIL.COM.

I'll go back a few years, when our Prescott store closed because of fire. I had a birthday voucher, but they said it was only valid at our location.

We went to *** and I took the voucher with me, and they said no problem, and accepted the voucher no questions asked. Now we come to the current status, and went to our Prescott location, and the manager refused it, said it had to be used within 24 hours of printing it offline, and said it probably is still there to be reprinted. The official document said good for 30 days. So, thinking it was good, proceeded to the restaurant only to be turned down.

We live about 20 minutes away, and with the price of fuel being outrageously high, it was not worth my time to go home, reprint the voucher, and go back to get the meal.

Honestly, I do not if or ever we will return to have a meal there. You're manager should have accepted the voucher, and everything would have been fine, just as the manager in *** did the right thing.

When my app was scanned at ***, it apparently didn't register my points. I contacted Golden Corral about it, and they responded right away and had me send them pictures of the receipt.

Unfortunately, when I sent them, the email kept coming back to me unsent. I don't have them blocked. Probably a phone error. So, in the course of trying to find them through a different route, I found this site, pissedconsumer.com, and contacted Golden Corral this way.

Within a day, they restored my points! I didn't like taking this route, as 2 other times my points weren't registered, and Golden Corral took care of it right away upon emailing them.

We enjoy eating there partly because my husband is diabetic and he can always find things he can eat. Their senior prices are good.
