Food was great and had really good service. Once they start serving breakfast it will be even better. Very clean dining room and they had gloves to wear when getting your food.

For a place as busy as this the staff do a very good job of keeping the place clean & the delicious variety of foods available. There was a wide variety of delicious comfort foods & desserts, far more than I could partake of. This is a really good family place to go & inexpensive. Definitely the best bang for your buck!

Alot of wonderful choices. Our server was super friendly. My only problem was when we called to ask the price we were told 9.99 per person. It was 12.99 per person when we got there. When you have 8 people it adds up fast

If you want awful cold unercooked food...this is the place for you. They kept running out of everything what they did have was awful and the fresh stuff the put out like the fried chicken ot broccoli was terrible and undercooked. The ice cream machine is broken, no cotton candy?! It was 51.00 for my family of four to eat here needless to say wasnt worth the price and will not be returning. I was thoroughly disappointed.

Not the largest Golden Corral but I am ever so thankful to have one in the neighborhood. The food quality and variety were excellent. You can try a little of everything to determine your favorites. Seating was adequate. Service was very good. Cost was very good.

Usally you get what you expect at a Golden Corral but ive been to this location 3 times in the last week because Im working pretty close.Over the last week the ice cream machine has been off evey time and even worse my chicken was not cooked this is not acceptable.This is how you give people food poison.

This Golden Corral needs some better customer service, ask for rolls 3 times never got them, had to ask 2 times for straws, food selection was great. But the waitress was too busy talking with other waitresses in the back to take care of her customers, this is why Im giving only 2 stars due to very if not the worse service I have ever had anywhere. I was from out of town on vacation and wished I had never stopped here, if I had known I would not have went 50 miles out of route to come here. I did talk to a Manager and Owner. But my money was already spent.

Review №18

Do not recommend. Food was cold, and didnt look very appealing either. It definitely wasnt worth $50 for 2 adults and a 5 year old. I didnt eat very much when I visited today but I feel sick now and I believe its from eating there its now 3 in the afternoon. Our waitress Paula was very nice so no blame put towards her at all. Some of the other staff was rude however and the bathrooms were very filthy. They looked as if they hadnt been cleaned in a very long time. We visited at 11:30 am so they didnt have much time to get into the shape they were in, in just one day.

Great food, just didnt think about how packed it would be when we went. Of course it was Fathers Day and that being on a Sunday... But we had a good time, so it was well worth it.

Standard buffet style American food. Food was not the best Ive ever had, but it was good. The salad bar was excellent. Tons of choices for food and dessert. Cost was $25 for an adult and a 9 year old.

Review №21

The waitress never spoke or brought silverware. She was very rude, I finally got her attention and asked for a sweet tea she informed me she brought me a sweet tea. Finally another waitress came and checked on us and brought me a sweet tea and us some silverware. This was the worst experience Ive ever had at a Golden Corral. Im not sure what her problem was with us, as this happened from the time we sat down til we left. Being from out of town this lady did not know us and is sitting a bad example for your establishment. Im not sure of her name. Never seen a nametag as she never came back to the table. But she did have a bandaid or something on her lip.

The place had no air condition, We nearly burned up trying to eat it was so hot in there. I couldnt get table service, they were to over pack with people, I couldnt get refills,I had to ask for everything that i needed, they were too busy to come to my party of 5 to wait on us after we were seated.I was very dissatisfied!!! I feel that they owe me a refund, Im serious!!!

I was very glad this location re-opened after the COVID. It has always been my favorite Golden Corral location for my family in the past for 20 years. After reading the latest reviews during the Covid delta the reviews were good. My family along with myself were still skeptical if all the food was properly seasoned and all the food was warm & not cold. I was vacationing with my family at the Kenlake State Resort Park in Hardin, Ky and driving home after our vacation. I wanted to make double sure that the food would be good. I decided to call the restaurant and Brian the Manager of the restaurant answered. I asked him what all foods were available to eat for the lunch buffet. He was very polite and gave me detailed information of all the food. After the phone call I told my daughter-in-law, wife & son and they said it sounded good. I was still a little bit skeptical. So we decided to give it a try. When we arrived we were totally amazed on how all the food was warm & properly seasoned. The fried chicken, pot roast, tater tots, mashed potatoes & gravey, ribs, meatloaf, chili, sausage, salad, yeast rolls were a 5 star. The ice cream, peanut butter cookies were also very tasty & delicious 5 🌟. The waitress Keya was extremely friendly and professional. She cleaned up our table when we were done eating. Keya also brought extra yeast rolls & filled our drinks for my family and also asked us if we needed anything else. She was a 5 star ⭐️ waitress and I gave her a good tip for the awesome job that she did. Before we left to my amazement the Manager (Brian) came to our table and asked me if I was the Gentleman that called and asked about the food. I said yes. Since Golden Corral re-opened during COVID-19 Delta the food is actually better now than it was before covid started. The Mexican cooks did an awesome job in preparing all the food & all the food was properly seasoned. The restaurant was very clean. Mens & Women’s bathrooms were very clean. This is the best of the best Golden Corral I have eaten for the 2021 year during the Covid-19 pandemic. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for a good Golden Corral or passing through the area on vacation or business trip to go to his location. Great 👍 customer service. Super good food & seasoned properly along with great customer service from the waitress & Manager. You will not be disappointed. 100% highly recommended.

Review №45

The cake section was ugly, to say the least. Most of the cake stands were emty, just littered with crumbs. The cupcakes, looked childish and not professionally prepared. The leftover puddings, looked desperate for attention. Icecream machine out of order. People behind the glass were busy, but did not multitask, to see what was needed at the bar.

I dined with 1 other person. While we were up getting main course meals, our table was cleaned and other people were seated at the table we were at.Food was ok. This was my 2nd visit since they opened back up. Not impressed. Not sure what they doing different but I dont care for it.

They charge me for a extra buffet. I call them about it and the lady I talk to say come in,they would give me other meal or refund. I went and the manger was so rude and hateful. Refund to do anything about it. The food was terrible and not cook. They did not have a variety of food they was letting it run out not putting food out this was the worst experience I have had. I would not recommend this going corral in Elizabethtown to anybody

Review №68

Honestly, this place was horrible. It had very little food selection, and was dirty/ran down on the inside. The employees were friendly and helpful and continually apologized for the food. The management/owners need to get their stuff straight! And next time, hopefully theyll have rolls that arent completely soaked with cheap butter!

Review №69

Don’t. Just don’t do it. I know what your thinking...buffet, chocolate fountain. Dirty, nasty food, expensive for what you do manage to eat. My stomach started rolling before I could leave so I went to the bathroom and it was dirty, too. Just praying I didn’t get food poisoning or something worse. The only reason I give it two stars instead of one is because of the nice waitress we had.

Review №74

What can I say its Golden Corral. If you dont get the military discount its $50+ for 3 adults. Tables still arent wiped off right, and people still coughing by the food. You would think with the pandemic year of 2020 this place would be a lot cleaner. Never going back to this place.

For the price we paid the food was nasty. They didnt have a big selection of food. Worse ever. 5 clock dinner time everything should be fresh on the Buffett. All the light blinking off and on. Having some type of electrical problem. Have ask for dinner rolls now instead putting it on the buffett.. Honestly dont deserve a 1 star.

Review №84

Mngmt or owner operator have very poor business/ mngmt skills. Understaffed with poorly trained waiting staff and supervision thereof. Desperate need of corporate guidance and supervision. For a newly opened store to be this overwhelmed is an atrocious attempt at operating an establishment for I have traveled and trained at new openings in this field across this country to know.Ive been to other stores of GC and was pleased and sad to give such poor marks at this.
