Excellent place for a quick stop. As with all buffets, it is difficult to keep the food from losing moisture, after being out for some time. However you have a good selection of items along with a great dessert bar. I find their soups are among the best, especially the gumbo on our last visit.

Oh WOW! This place is TOO GOOD! Everything was fantastic and so tasty!! So I liked everything and ate too much. It is very clean, I think it was around $14 plus drinks. Can’t do this everyday or I’d getSuper-stuffed!!!

One of the workers was licking her fingers while prepping the silverware. 😝 Other than that, the food was good as always.Update:September 18, 2021 7:42 PMI just need to add that management was notified that same day and the manager did correct the problem. I dont want to scare anybody away from this great restaurant. Sometimes things happen, but thats when management should be notified. We like eating here, so thats why I wanted to clear that up.

Very clean. One of the smaller Golden Corral restaurants but still had nice selection. I love Golden Corral salad bar, but this one didnt have eggs, olives, or real bacon bits when I was there..

There between lunch and dinner rush so not all things available. Fried catfish was great as was my chess pie. Other items not so good. Heat beneath buffet is not consistent so some item cooled quicker than others.

Can always get a well done, not burnt juicy steak here. BEST salad dressing, bourbon street chicken & brunch!

This IS my favorite Golden Corral. Pleasant atmosphere and good food. I just am disappointed with their o delicious chocolate pie. I would happily drive to a Golden Corral just for that.... I dont know why they changed it, but it needs to be changed back!!!!

I love this place, they have something for everyone. I really enjoy the family ambient I get when I walk in and the staff is always friendly. The only thing I dont like is the soda, I feel like it doesnt have enough gas, or I dont know but it doesnt taste very well. Everything else is amazing.

Im from the Dallas area and have been in the Bastrop area for about a year and a half Ive eaten at sever Golden Corrals in the past and my brother in law was working in the Bryan TX area on Aug 3rd I believe it was the staff the restaurant and the food was the best Ive seen in years I used to love Golden Corral but I quit going cause it was going down hill and now if I want some Golden Corral my family and I will drive the hour and a half to eat at the Bryan location the manager was the best Ive seen as well in many years. Keep it up You just got my business when Im in town

Great buffet with a nice selection of different foods/salads/desserts and everything was hot and fresh for dinner. Employee service was ok, this location is setup nicely with a buffet that is easy to get around and has a lot of seating available.

They have renovated the place since I last went and it was surprisingly good, if youre on the fritz about what you want to eat, give this place a shot.

I thought this location was closed down, food and customer service was great . Didnt leave till closing time and was not rushed one time . Table service was up to par not one complaint. Recommended location 👌

Review №29

Its a buffet of basic american foods, with an emphasis on southern style dishes. They have a decent, if not expansive, salad bar, always close to a dozen meat choices, including fish, and many vegetables, if a bit more done than is currently en vogue. Also, plenty of desserts, from ice cream to cake to my favorite, bread pudding without the raisins!The big plus, besides the variety, is the staff. They are attentive and friendly, and add to the enjoyment of a visit considerably!

Clean place excelent personel at the tables, but kitchen people cooking steak makes wait the customers and go slow on cooking steaks like 15 minutes they need to have little more steaks this is a buffett and customers cannot be waiting this muchI see 8 people waiting on a well done steak, thanks this issue can be fix at no time simple and easy.

Review №31

Most of the food was not over cooked, which is the danger in bulk/buffet cooking.The meatloaf, BBQ chicken, and pulled pork was very fresh and good.Salad bar was broad and fresh.Desert bar….hmmm. Think sweet, but unflavorful commercial products. The soft serve and toppings were just fine.

Its good, have to put up with the thousands of illegal kids speaking Spanish, and touching everything they can see (parents let them run wild and unsupervised). Disease Vectors really

Review №35

The food here is all pretty good but its definitely not the best at anything. The reason I give so many stars is because there is a really good variety of different options to choose from. Its a really good place to go when you and your friends cant agree on something or you yourself just cant decide what to eat. This is also a really good place to take the kids, my five year old absolutely loves the dessert bar! Lol. Lastly dont forget to ask for a discount if you or anyone your with is a member of the military.

Good customer service, and hot/fresh food. We went for breakfast, and the selection was good, but it definitely could have been better. Still good food.

Review №38

For $12 you really cant beat it again I dont have great expectation but the food is above average and better than fast food and you can get in-and-out of there real quick lots of options to choose from so for a quick bite to eat if youre really hungry this is a good place to go

I think this is a case of false advertising because this establishment is CLEARLY a campsite. I was doing my normal thing: paid the entrance fee, pitched a tent, and unpacked all my stuff for my 48 hour retreat inside the Golden Corral but not even 2 hours later the entire staff t-posed around my tent and told me to pack it up! I hadn’t even collected enough wood for my camp fire! Go camp somewhere else they don’t respect our kind.

I have never been to Golden Corral and was totally impressed. The stations are well organized, with each section having a theme for easy finding. They are also placed for maximum flow. Oh and the food never stopped flowing. I really love that the bathrooms have sanitizer on both sides of the bathroom door, and that the door itself swings outward.

I have been to many Golden Corrals...some I would never go back.....but this one was by far the cleanest and friendliest....the food choices and display were awesome... not to mention that the food was yummy....I just wish I lived closer.....and that our Golden Corral in Conroe TX was as good....

Going after Covid i didnt expect much. But for $11.99 plus drink it was pretty good. Everything is clean. The inside looks fantastic. Gloves are required near the food which I thought was great as well. No idea how to cook a steak but for the price it was fine. Would go back again.

Review №64

Clean, plenty of seating for social distancing. Service staff were friendly and efficient without being intrusive.The only thing that prevents me from giving the 5th star was the fried clam strips, which were inedible. I pulled the breading off and saw clearly that they were freezer burned.

Review №65

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a big group at lunchtime. They were very busy but still found us enough tables in the same area were we could sit together. The food was good and had plenty to choose from. And they even had Santa walking around talking to people and giving out candy.

Review №73

I am very deathly Anaphylactic and have to be careful where I eat, what I eat and read labels of EVERYTHING! I had not been able to go to a restaurant in years to have a hot sit down meal. They dont use too many red seasonings nor red sauces within their restaurant. Was able to eat a variety of foods that I love without having an allergic reaction! I loved it all and the waitstaff was very courteous and polite.

Boo Hoo. “Tables aren’t spaced for enough apart”, “lack of hygiene”. Blah blah. Then turn around and leave. More for me. And find a real news channel to watch. It ain’t that bad.Was referring to the bad raters posting here. GC is a great place.
