I was eating macaroni and cheese today with a friend I realized about 1 min after I poured salt all over my Mac n cheese that my salt turned purple on my plate? Not on my macaroni but on my plate only. Im still trying to figure it out! But it surely cannot be healthy. Probably the last time I ever eat here unfortunately cause I will buy the whole buffet for only macaroni! Sad story but Im wondering wat was on my plate that it reacted with!!!

Of all the Golden Corral Ive been to, this one is the best. Everything was delicious! If I could give 10 stars, I would give 12!)))

Will take a strong convincing to get me to come back. Only got ONE refill. After that, she just took the cup w/o offering another refill. I still had food on my plate. No manager was around when leaving to see what kind of compensation I should get, so I doubt I will come back for dinner. If I do, and I see her again, I will move to another section. I didnt really want to leave a tip, but felt to just leave $1. Thanks for the lousy service. At least the food was good. If I do, I WILL go behind the counter to get my own drink next time.

What a wonderful experience for my youngest daughters birthday! They sang happy birthday to her and a lovely group of beautiful women sang to my daughter and just made the whole day something to truly remember! Thank you to everyone who made this day amazing and also thank you God for making it possible! 🙏

To start this off I want to say the service was good. No rude employees at all. The only thing I disliked was the food. There was not a very wide selection and what was there was not good. The fried fish was GOD AWFUL. They shouldn’t even be serving it considering how horrible it was. The steak was fine but extremely salty, but was the only thing that was edible besides the fruit (which I assume is mostly canned). For the price that you have to pay to eat here, the food is atrocious.

Food was cold, old, and some over cooked. It seemed like the food was leftover from lunch. If Im spending 35 dollars on dinner I expect it to be fresh and warm. I complained to the waitress and all I got was they should be putting out fresh soon. Problem is I was eating then.

These days there is only a couple of choices for buffet in fort Wayne and they are one of them, but recommend them as the best in choice but are very packed with people .

Variety of food & food is delicious. Customer service is good. Prices are affordable. Restaurant is clean. One of my favorite places to eat. I order delivery sometimes and the food is still good.

The servers were very nice a friendly!!! Diverse ethnicities and people groups were treated like family by the servers. The food was good. Loved the sweet tea! I appreciate that hand sanitizer dispensers were placed throughout the restaurant and disposable gloves were made available at the buffet.My only issues were:1. Our booth table bench seats were a little too tight of a squeeze for 4 adults.2. The changing table in the ladies room was right in between the sink and door. There wasnt much room, especially with the hand dryer/trash can right there, too.

Good food, fair price, always seems to be something for everyone. They have temporary hours, it doesnt reflect the time listed on Google. Not sure how long the temporary hours will last for.

Review №12

Steaks were on point. Dessert bar wasnt that great. They had things on sticks for the chocolate fountain, but the fountain wasnt up and running. Also the things they have for the chocolate are not cold so the chocolate wont harden like it should so no point in the chocolate anyways. All the food was hot. Husband says the chicken was delicious and hot.

Worst Golden Corral in the United States and Ive been to a few. Foreign labor cooking the food with absolutely no seasoning. Everything was bland. Save your money and go to a real restaurant

Review №15

Absolutely loved it. It was mine and my families first time. So many different food options it was awesome. The dinner rolls are to die for, the steak is amazing, every topping you could think of for your salad. Desserts OMG. Definitely will be going often. Oh and they do amazing balloon animals for your kids and its a small amount.

This was a nice experience. The place was clean, even the restrooms and the staff was nice. The food was pretty good as well we all were stuffed and needed a nap after we were done. I would visit this place again!

I have been to many Golden Corrals. This was hands down the best. Aunt bs friend chicken was great. Tacos realy good. Beans okra corn very good. For a buffet this was outstanding

Golden Corral is not the same. I know they are trying. The service is great. The staff is friendly. The food quality has went downhill drastically. They need to get the new steak guy a sweat rag. Nothing worse than seeing sweat drip onto your steak. One whole section of the buffet has been closed for almost a year now. I miss the old G. C.

Review №21

Great for groups! They accept reservations, which was a huge help to accommodate our group of 17. Theres something for everyone with the weekend buffet -- soup, salad bar, breads, pasta, comfort food, breakfast, a carving station, desserts and much more. Very reasonable, good food and service.

I always compliment the manager on what good steak and food they have . Yesterday makes me not ever want to return . The pot roast tasted like water . The buns were not done . The pops and water was refilled 0 times and the plates were not removed untill we were ready to leave . They had a lady cooking a steak who didnt know what she was doing. There was also a lady sweeping up the floor complaining on what slobs people were and how she wished they would go to Subway. I wish I would of went to Subway .

My food was horrible today! The top of my roll was hard as a brick.! And all the food was cold. The Spaghetti was overcooked. The fish was rubbery. I was really upset because I always have a good experience.

Review №28

Had coupons for our dinner tonight... wouldnt let us use them so there was that. Our waitress seemed to be on drugs. And many members of the staff were so rude. Typically we love this place but tonight I was pretty disappointed. The manager & the cotton candy lady were the greatest though! If I could just Rate them Id say 5 stars... but the rest of the staff killed that.

Review №31

A little disappointed. Food was good, but was surprised that the buffet was back to normal. People without masks or gloves touching handles. The plates were out where you grab from the pile, so when you grab a plate you cant help but touch the plate under it. My wife and I went because I had read things were different in how they serve. The carpet was dirty. But again the food was good! Servers were great!

Review №32

Everything was out really fresh then fully stocked. The Staff were super pleasant. The bathroom area was really maintain clean and fresh. The server kept up with drinks very well and removing all use dishes and food stuff from the table efficiently. A good demeanor was maintained even though it was really close to the end of everyone shift.

A bit packed, but it was a Friday night so that is a given.The food was as to be expected by a Golden Corral. It was hard to find red meats as people were quick to grab them, but the clam strips were good.They have gloves for serving in order to preserve cleanliness, but I saw quite a few people not using them which was a bit disturbing.Not sure how quick Ill be ready to go back.

If I could I would give it a minus 5. The food was cold and you could tell the chicken was cold and been in the warmer for hours. Only one thing was good was the icecream. I really hope they get there stuff straight and make sure the food is HOT!!

Review №64

The food there is always great, and the waiters there are usually on top of things of refilling your drink, but this time that I went the waiter was too busy talking instead of doing his job. There were dirty dishes being piled up on the table next to me, and not once was I attended to. I had to go to the filling station in the front of the restaurant to fill my own drinks.

We understand that they are short staffed. Unfortunately that means no steaks or meatloaf at lunch time. Changes happen I get that but put up a sign that helps people understand the challenges. Bathroom was not clean...not sure what was on the floor.

The food was fine. The issue was with the service. The restaurant wasnt busy,and I saw at least 4 servers and not 1 of them ever stopped at our table. And they ignored all attempts to get their attention. So me and my family had to move our own used plates to a nearby empty table. And never got a refill on our beverages.

The food was so good we went back the next day. But when we went back there was a little girl in the restroom maling it a mess when i told the server she just said okay but didnt do anything to go fit it. Usually i wpuldnt have a problem with a messy bath room but it was urine and feces all over the toliets that the little girl was messing with.

Looking at the two plates of first choices, you’ll quickly view diverse differences. My friend plate includes steak, mushrooms, shrimp with cocktail sauce, broccoli with cream sauce, and corn. My first trip plate included grilled fish, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cooked cabbage, and zucchini squash. There are just so many options that no one should ever leave hungry.

Review №84

I only gave it a one because it doesnt give correct information on the hours. The website says 7:30 on Saturday. We went there and it said 9 a.m. on the door. This weekend I checked the website again and it said 7:30. I thought Id be safe and call for store hours. It said 7:30. I ended up calling the store to triple check and THEY told me it was 9 a.m. I wish theyd change it on the website and the phone as to when theyre REALLY open.

Review №86

Talked about being rushed.. We had around 45 minutes to eat before they closed at 8pm due to temporary covid hours. Plus we couldnt take our food to go unless we wanted to pay extra. We already paid too much to eat there in the first place 👎!!!

Review №87

I have hundreds of reviews with TripAdvisor. Very few four-star or five star reviews. This situation warrants 4 stars. A misunderstanding at the cash register resulted in a visit with the manager. Unfortunately I was not satisfied, but paid the price and sat down with my family. Not too many minutes later the manger approached me relating the conversation he had with the franchise owner and reconciled the misunderstanding. The $$ difference is not the point-the customer satisfaction is the point. My hats off to the owner and manager. I If you respond to this review, please mention the managers first name- HE DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED for his efforts!!!

This was my first time ever going there. I went with friends because they said it was great. Boy did I have high expectations because of what they were saying, and booooyyyyy did it meet those expectations and more. This place is probably my new favorite restaurant. (: Buffets are always good. Everything, and I mean absolutely everything looked so good. My only regret is that I couldnt try it all. All the food was warm and all the desserts were sugary - the way it should be. :) They have a huge variety, and I do believe they have a veggie spot, but I did not get to look at it. Just some last tidbits of info- All the staff was really nice, the place is super clean, and for the price you can get lots of food. :):):):)

Review №97

The food is amazing. Best location we have ever been to in regards to the food. My only issue is they seem to pick and choose if they want to accept a coupon or not. Went in on Saturday, November 2 with our kids and had a coupon for 2 for $22 dinner. They refused to accept it. First the cashier said it was only for lunch, but the coupon clearly says dinner. So she called over a manager who then said the coupon is only good for weekdays. The coupon does not specify any certain days its only accepted. That was our only issue. Our server was phenomenal though, believe his name was Rome? He was amazing!

Review №98

It was ok. They did not have the whole buffet open so the options were more limited than usual. It is also expensive especially since there were so many things not available. They had the usual, just not as good as it used to be. We also found quite a few dirty dishes in the clean stack, which was unappealing. The waiter we had was very nice though.
