Ive been to this golden Corral a few times b4 the epidemic began and I was siked when I found out they reopened!!πŸ™‰πŸŽ‰Before this Golden Corral closed, I was going like each week after becoming hooked to their food All the employees were great, working hard, didnt have anyone needing to wait long for their food, and Golden Corral was kept very clean! Amazing price$12.99πŸ™ŒπŸ‘I actually like them handing me my food and that everyones wearing a mask! Lots of people would assume buffets arent good because of people grabbing their food n what not but now there is no worry at all! I Promise it will always be amazing no matter what 😍 Im looking forward to returning real soon! I about turned down Del Taco last night for Golden Corral but figured Del Taco 4 Taco Tuesday but man oh man did I wish I went to Golden Corral!!! πŸ˜…πŸ˜­ Always next time 😊 Ill be back sooner then ya think πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‡πŸ™

Wide selection of food. Value for money for lunch/dinner buffet. Great for family with young children as price is affordable.My recommendation: fresh salad/greens, roast pot, deep fried chicken and pecan ice cream.

I seriously don’t know how this establishment remains open. First of all, they are concerned about covid 19 so they are taking extra measures and are serving the food and face coverings. But yet the restaurant is filthy. Absolutely disgusting. I will post pics to show you.... the food is terrible. It’s cold, tasteless. I am very disappointed and will never eat at a Golden Corral again.

Golden Corral is a buffet full of all kinds of American / Mexican, Italian, Asian cuisine. You have your selection on pretty much everything to satisfy the whole family or friends. Kids will be very happy here, pizza and ice cream, sweets galore!

First time here. I called ahead to reserve a big space for us after attending a funeral. The manager was so accommodating and pleasant. The food was good, the bathrooms were clean and our waitress was amazing. Kerri helped us SO much and was awesome. Very understanding and friendly.

This was the best experience to dateI havent been in several years. My granddaughter has a dairy allergy. I spoke with 2 separate manager who helped with food selections and went above and beyond. Everything is cafeteria style currently but the 3 men that served us were amazing!!!

Best buffet around at affordable prices! $13.99 per person for dinner. (Fri-Sun)Ruby is the best server. Super attentive and gets anything you need quickly! Never lets you run out of your drink and makes it just how you want it! She goes above and beyond to make your experience the best!Dennis is the best meat cooker! Hes always making sure he cooks it just to your liking and willing to also go above and beyond for you. He will cook your meat more or find you a less done piece if you request. Hes extremely hardworking and a great guy.You have a solid team here. Keep it up! :)

Friendly staff and atmosphere. Facility was clean, food was great and the service was excellent. Gary was constantly refilling our drinks and very politely removing used dishes. Whenever the service is good, it makes the whole visit even more pleasant. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable.

I was impressed that personnel actually told someone to pull his mask back in place while at the buffet.Staff now serve your portion reducing contact from guests.They have placed clear marks for social distancing although at one point guests surrounded me at one island forcing me to step back. Not cool!Staff kept the dining area clean and were only using half capacity.

How can this location be open when they dont dine-in, take out, or deliver? I understand that corvid is around, but if you go to the one in Sheridan CO, it does all three.

Lets start by saying that this is probably the best location. That being said.the food is always fresh and service is always on point. As I have been to this and many other locations and have come to realize if you bring up any problems to the management staff at this location it is handled in a fast and appropriate manner. No matter where I have gone this is one of the few where management handles the problem immediately. As far as any cold or over seasoned food they are more than willing to accommodate you. Yes I have even asked for devil eggs without paprika when they are not out. Not only have they made them they bring them to the table. I can go on and on about how much they care and are willing to help. That being said. I do have one complaint the response from the company to reviews makes it seem like they dont care about the consumer they are so generic. Please take a lesson from your management staff and make this a more personal response. Thank you for staying with me and please before you complain give the management a chance to fix your problem and let them know what you need and want. Again this is one of the best places I have been in a long time.

I just left this location the girl behind the counter was mad with me like I did her something. I felt very uncomfortable and will never go there again for anything. Me and my Vietnam Veteran grandfather Mr.John Tousaint just wanted to eat . Who ever she is I pray she gets retrained on problem solving under pressure,While multitasking. Her hospitality was completely nasty and her attitude is unstable.!

Everyne should try the drive thru. The fish and pot roast options are very good. Where else can you get a full meal and drink for $7.99. Best idea Golden Coral has had in years.

Its been a long time since Ive been to an American buffet. We went here for the first time today and it was everything I could have wanted! Good service, tons of variety, decent food. The price wasnt too bad either for a buffet. Well definitely be back!

Review β„–37

I feel as if the prices are slightly too high for dinner but its understandable why they have those prices. The quality of the food overall has noticably declined over the years, though some foods are still fairly decent. The dessert is always thr most pleasant part of the entire meal when eating here, in my opinion. The labels are usually in the wrong places and occasionally the food looks as though its been sitting out for a little longer than desired. The waiters and waitresses, however, are always an absolute joy to be around. Tiana, I believe her name is, along with Greg, and I believe Karen are people my husband and I have had the pleasure of being served by. The chocolate chess pie is by far the best food in that entire building. I wish the quality of the food was slightly better, then the price would feel more worth it.

Review β„–39

Youve got to set your expectations properly at a place like this. Youre not going in there for a full service dinner with a wine list. But this place does a good job at what they do. The staff keeps an eye on the buffet items, changing it out / refilling it promptly. They check on your table often to take away plates and refill your drinks. And the price is not bad at all. Ill be back!

We havent been in many years...the food quality last time was not good. This time, I found the food to be good and everything was tasty. They kept everything full and looking good. My only complaints would be price...(when did it get to be SO much??) & cleanliness...it would be good to take a night, scrub all the tables, booths, walls and carpets. Atmosphere, you know.

Review β„–47

The good food is brought down by the poor service. We had a waitress called Rosa who gives extremely poor service every single time. She is very unattentive. In the hour and a half we were there, she visited our table twice on her own. The other times she came was because we were asking other waiters for stuff such as ketchup or refills (since the first time she brought 2 ketchup packets for 3 people). We asked for the juice bar which the waiter has to get. We had to chase her down to get us juice and she said in a very rude voice, Did you not get anything to drink up front? Today we asked to speak to a manager which was just someone in a red shirt, not one the big managers in the collard shirts and ties, and he did not care. He actually rushed our complaint because we were bothering him. I hope someone who cares sees this.

I always liked buffet. They have good food and good choices. Staff was very friendly. It felt a bit weird that after COVID reopening the staff served you the food but you get used to it and the staff gives you as much food as you want.

Review β„–52

My family and I go here pretty often, I enjoy the food and the staff most of the time... Today however when we came in to eat, you pay at front and get your drinks at the same time. We were ignored for a bit til I got an attitude with the lady at the register. This happens pretty often to us. I wish it wasnt such a social hour for the employees up front... Other than that the servers are wonderful!

Golden Corral is conveniently located on Powers Blvd. Easy to find. It has lots of parking. The lines of people may get long because it is one of the best buffets around. Two lines to serve you so it goes fast. Food is always fresh. Great salad bar. Good for me because I am a vegetarian. Dessert bar is hard to beat. Many meat dishes. Barbecue and Cajun. Staff is friendly and fast service. Good atmosphere!

Review β„–66

Very nice staff, but the food seems to have declined in the last year or so. We would still go back. The desert bar kinda makes up for the food not being great....Plus its over $50 for a family of four. We could eat at Texas Roadhouse for cheaper and everything is made fresh.

Review β„–67

Getting a good waitress here seems to be a luck of a draw. Came here two weeks ago with my family of 5 and received superior service from our waitress. Probably the best service we’ve experienced from any establishment, who was referred to as their mother hen. Tonight, when my toddler and I came back, we had a completely different experience. I was first taken back when we were directed on where to sit right after paying for our meal. Out of the normal, but I obliged. However, we were never once greeted by our waitress. After sitting at the table for 5-10 minutes waiting for my son to finish using the restroom, I thought this was strange. The only trace she left was her name on the table while we grabbed our dinner. During our hour long dinner, we never had our drinks refilled or dirty plates taken away. Especially after finishing our drink within the first 5 minutes, I thought tonight’s experience was ridiculous. If this was my first experience, I would never want to come back. The only thing I enjoyed tonight was that the steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare so many thanks to the steak chef!

I love buffets, that said this was my first time at this chain. The dining room was relatively clean and the staff was great as far as meeting the needs of customers. The food however was terrible in that a lot of it was left on too long or looked as if it was left in a bag and sat on by someone. The salad bar was fresh but many of the hot items were hard(had sat under heat lamps too long) or just bland.The fried chicken was good as were the commonly grabbed items. I would not go back again though because of how spotty the food was.

The weekend breakfast buffet is absolutely delicious. You must try it out. However, I brought a group of people from my place of employment, the staff was very accommodating and made sure that everyone in our group was taken care of. The items on the buffet were fresh and very tasty. They offer senior citizens discounts and military discounts with valid ID.

We enjoyed our food, or what there was available. We got there about 3:15 and literally almost every dish was empty. We paid for lunch, but since it was so close to dinner almost nothing was filled until 4:00. Im sorry, but what about those of us who paid for lunch? There were lots of customers at that time eating. There was so many items we wanted, but they were empty. Our server was really good.

Good food, great service, very nice restaurant, although a lot of the food such as the chicken noodle soup, many of the meats and sauces, the gravy and such, were very salty, and because of said saltiness, some of the food was a bit unappetizing, that said everything else was great including the other food and the service from the staff

Review β„–81

Let me start by saying, I know why we go to buffet’s. Lots of food, small price. Got it. However, most people, like myself, expect the food to be half-decent. It was horrible, no seasoning, the meat was room temperature, the drinks tasted like they came out of the dishwasher, the service was atrocious(besides one gentleman in a maroon/burgundy shirt. He was awesome!). My wife and I had to break every traffic law Colorado has so we could find a gas station and release the demons that Golden Corral unleashed into our stomach (in terms of a very uncomfortable bowel movement). This may have been an off day for this establishment. But, this was my experience today. 0/10, would not recommend.

Food was good until another customer and I found a long hair in the chocolate pie serving. That wasnt too good. Very busy but they set tables for all 11 of us to be able to sit together. That was great. Maybe they should go back to wearing hairnets then I would probably give them five stars.

Good buffet style food. Just like most buffets, there are some really good items and some that are less than spectacular. Kids love it because they can be picky and get what they want. Theres even a chocolate fountain at the dessert bar.

Review β„–91

Typical buffet items. Very good quality. Always fresh. Tonight the chef, Steve, really went out of his way to make sure our daughter was able to have as much vaeiety as the rest. She has a dairy allergy and he went through every item being offered to check. He even made her a special dessert. He checked on us quite often. I cannot thank him enough. The management team has always been so kind and willing to accommodate where it was possible.
