OK here’s the thing you got to love or like Golden corral their food is always very consistent and in my opinion is delicious, they have great fried chicken they also have cooked to order steaks, they have a great salad bar, the staff was very helpful and very polite and very courteous, and their dessert bar is great and it’s a very good price for all you can eat, I am very glad that it is back open, it was very crowded so definitely wear your mask, the only thing I think they really should do is serve BEER. Shop local, spend local, by local and most of all eat local

I went there for lunch buffet with my colleagues. The ambience is great. You have three stations for vegetarian items, meats and desserts. You can also request custom made burgers, make a variety of tacos yourself and request some custom made desserts.I didnt try the vegetable salads that much, but their meat bbqs are really great. So is the fish fillet and smoked fish. Among the desserts, they have an assortment of pies and cakes, ice cream, and most excitingly, Cotton Candy 🍭🍭. Definitely extra points for that one.In a nutshell, I really enjoyed my lunch and will be back again.

Highly recommend this location! The food was great! My steak was made just as I had asked! The bussers are on top of their tables assigned, they removed the dirty dishes off of our tables soon after we were done with them. The manager was the nicest guy ever!! He walked around greeting tables and was very humble, even picking up dirty dishes as he walked by! Such an enjoyable dinner with the family, well definitely be back! 😊

Love it love it ❤️ havent been to Golden Corral since covid started I was smiling and laughing the whole time what a relief to have a good meal again after a whole year now what they do is 50% capacity they sit you down at the table like normal but they try to keep you away from other tables that have people you have to wear your mask at all times unless youre eating and when you go up to get food at the buffet you put on one time use disposable gloves grab your plate to put your food on it take it to your table next time you get up you can go throw away the gloves and the trash can provided near the plates, All I can say was yum yum what a delight to finally get to eat a good meal again 👌🌈🥰

The food was ok, but when we came to dessert I saw the workers take the pies out of a store bought box, the blueberry pie was super dry and you couldn’t even taste the blueberry. The brownies were soggy. I wouldn’t recommend for families celebrating birthdays or anything

Eating at Golden Corral was great, it had been a while since I visited this restaurant, I started with some green salad with plenty is spinach and other delicious greens, then, I had some fruit salad which was fresh and juicy, then I had some steak, I asked to be cooked medium well and it was cooked to perfection. All employees were very courteous and professional. They would pick up used dishes right away and do drinks refills continuously, what a pleasure was to return to Golden Corral.I recommend you try it!

It is our first time here, so she was so gracious. Food was good, each plate was $13.99 drinks were $2.99 or u can pay .50¢ more to get a 320z take home cup

The food was excellent. There was plenty of variety and everything was full. It is a all you can eat buffet style. The servers were polite and they filled what was empty fast.They also filled your drinks quickly too. Price was reasonable for what you were getting. The stew and hamburger was tender and they had shrimp too.The chocolate covered strawberries was one of my favorite desert.

Service was fantastic!! Food was less diverse than usual but still good overall. Loved that they have everyone wearing gloves to get their food. Honestly some of these procedures would be great to see stick around as you have so many different people around the food! But great experience and so glad to be back. Based on the picture you cant tell but they were ecstatic to be there and genuinely enjoyed themselves.

I give it a 3.5 star rating.Went here today for dinner. ClEAN. FRIENDLY STAFF. All food was in-stock wait time for items were short.Our server was nice and attentive. We left a tip.Food was surprisingly good.I did not like everything but it sure beats home town buffet. My favorites were salad was good, beef pot roast was delicious, the baked fish was well seasoned also very good., pulled pork was good, steak was ok. Asian seasoned chicken was also good.I say 3.5 will come again & do recommend. My son rates it 5 out of 5.

Food is delicious. So many types of food...and servers refilling drinks are very nice. Writing this as I sit, thinking... Should I go for another round? ... My diet will resume tomorrow. Would come again no problem. Wish they had one closer to where we live Coachella.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this particular golden corral. At first I found it a little cumbersome trying to find it using Google there in Moreno valley. However.. the staff is top-notch, the wait time is usually no more than 8 minutes, and last but not least the food is phenomenal. My roommate and I have enjoyed the food so much that we invited another friend this time around. This would be our fourth visit so far. It is definitely worth the 25 minute drive from my house to go out to this particular golden corral. Definitely will go back again.Warning to my other fellow brothers and sisters in christ.. between the hours of 11:30 and 1:30 there is a strong Church crowd that goes to this particular golden corral. During that time the wait is about 16 minutes sometimes as much as 24. Between those times. Still strongly recommend the food just if you want to pace yourself when you go to this particular Golden corral lol.PS stay away from the turkey not as its best at this golden corral. Everything else top notch.

Very clean restaurant and employees very polite. They checked on us throughout the meal and gave us great customer service.I asked the cashier about the restaurant in San Bernardino that was still closed.He was very eager to share the possible opening date of the restaurant.My family was very impressed with the service and friendliness of everyone.5 star rating.

Golden Corral Buffet was packed (as usual), because the food is delicious and fairly inexpensive. The service was fantastic, waiters and waitresses were on point! My only complaint was that some of the food was overly salty. Dinner prices are expensive for a buffet. Especially if you bring a large group.

Review №28

My girlfriend and I came out to the Riverside/Moreno valley area because we were looking for buffets we were first thinking about going to a Asian buffet but we seen that they had macaroni and cheese and meatloaf so we decided to go American. I believe we made the right decision, they had a great variety of food and awesome desserts. For the price(way cheaper than most buffets) Its a steal and no surprise why its so busy. Will definitely come back!

Review №29

Very happy to be able to dine in again! Buffet was very much as it was before all this started, only difference is they ask you to wear gloves that they supply, when you go get food. I didnt have a problem with that at all! I enjoyed myself very much we paid $13 for the lunch buffet I believe the dinner ones a few dollars more.

I went at 3pm Mother’s Day. I knew it would be busy. I was alone. I waited about 15-20 minutes. I was seated right away. The food was great and the staff was too. Even though they were very busy, everyone was working hard with a good attitude. Brandon was my server and he was excellent. They had hand sanitizer at the entrance and plate stations. At the plate stations they had plastic gloves for everyone to use getting their plates and food. It was nice.

Review №35

Not worth the $$. My girlfriend and I went to check out Golden Corral since this location recently opened and we were excited about the idea of buffets again. This was a big let down. We went for dinner and the cost was $17.5 per adult which is on par with other sit down diners. However, the selection was greatly limited and the food was only okay in quality. Id say the only piece we enjoyed that would even make it remotely worth it was the steak.It was my girlfriends first time so it left a bad impression in her mind. If you want buffet style I would look elsewhere. Unless they add more items to their menu or change things up I would stay away for now.

Review №38

It was ok. I understand they are short handed, but they should assign someone to keep an eye on their customers. Way to many incidents where kids were getting food and dropping it. And the extra employees should be out on the floor helping clean the tables instead of washing walls and doors, so that the waitress and waiters can focus on the customers. I think I only seen our waiter once and that was when he sat us down. Poor guy was running around cleaning tables.

I would like to thank Golden Corral for choosing Moreno valley. I go to other locations and Im glad to say another standard met. I dont know how you guys do it but when i visit a golden corral i get the same energy from staff and attentiveness. This location is amazing, managers on the floor helping and greating with smiles. Food was amazing as i walked to look at my selection one of the cooks offered me a steak to my liking. The steak he gave was right off the grill choose medium well well done etc ..... I was more than happy to come to this establishment. I will be visiting again to many options for just one visit.

They make you sanitize your hands and wear gloves prior to getting your food. You serve yourself and youre welcome to get as much as you like. The selection is limited due to covid but they still have a lot of great things like steak, fried chicken, clam chowder, pizza, etc. I miss their cotton candy and hand scooped ice cream. The first time I went there they had chocolate covered strawberries but this time they did not; hopefully they have them next time...

Review №48

So this being the first week that they are open and considering this i give this review.Issues on google maps makes it harder to find just look deeper in the parking lot.Size of the building is a nice size can accommodate quite a crowd comfortably.Next is the food. Once you walk in you are greeted with the aromas of foods. That makes your mouth water.The one that is really hard for me to give credit for is service and staff. To my surprise our server was Adam, he was wonderful. Given the amount of guests here the service was exceptional and all the employees were friendly, courteous, and accurate.So how would i rate this Golden Corral?Food=10/10Size= 10/10Service=10/10Navigation=7/10. (Gets you to the parking lot.. Thanks google.)Overall i will be back and i will be back.

Haven’t been to a golden corral in years. So i was like yay! Cause the buffet is usually good. Food is usually fresh! This one didn’t disappoint at all. The staff is friendly and attentive. Especially the young lady we had. Her name was Mackey (probably spelled wrong) but she was great. Kept our table cleared, drinks refreshed. All around did a great job. Give that young lady a raise. Whenever i come down to the IE that will be the buffet I visit.

It sure was good to be back. They have their Covid safety protocols in place. You need to wear a mask while filling your plate. You also must sanitize your hands and wear gloves while at the buffet. You can re-use the gloves as long as they are clean. They are limited to 50% capacity. We went on a weekday at lunchtime, and we didnt have to wait in a line to get in. We drove by on a weekend, and it was a totally different story. Quite a long line. Anyway, the food was good, and we were quite satisfied. And happy. 👍

Review №67

Had lunch there with the family for the second time. Food was on the average side the first time. Today it was greesy and over cooked on few items like bacon and tator tots. I normally go to the one in San Bernardino and If I ever decide to take my family again it would be to the San Bernardino location instead just for the food. I also noticed that they raised their prices.

Review №68

Tonight we had a fantastic meal at this particular resturaunt. The food was fresh and tasted even better. Nothing with that stale taste of sitting in a chafing dish or tray for hours. No, eat it or you dont attitude when you ask about the food. The restaurant was clean and the staff were very helpful pleasant and accommodating as well as friendly.I am a former Sous Chef and I have always instilled upon servers that they are the dining room deal breakers. They make the dining experience being that extension of service to the customers. Our server ( Jes) Jessilyn was that very example...not over bearing or interuptive. She was helpful delightful and that extension that made our dining experience beyond positive...just fantastic. We will definatley dine there again respectively and purposely ask too be seated in her section. Thank you Golden Corral management for enlisting the talent of Jes...she is a rare find and an asset too you and your establishment. Jes thank you twice over.

The food was decent, but it was way overpriced. Additionally, there was 0 social distancing...people.were standing on top of each other and the majority did not wear masks 😷. I thought the model of this restaurant was changed due to COVID(that is what the website says), but not true. The only thing that changed was gloves being placed next to the stack of plates so you can get your food 🤔...ok. Some guy with no mask continuously coughed so we left. I hope I dont end up in the hospital 😫

Review №71

Food was good, the baked fish was not fresh at all, it was hard and chewy. Due to Covid Im guessing is the reason the menu and options have changed, they didnt have much of a selection to choose from as to where before me and my kids would have gotten some seafood.Other than that it was pretty good.

Denise is the person making the macaroni salad and the potato salad. Out favorite salad is the macaroni salad. Denise is very professional, friendly, and courteous. If you talk with her, she will tell you that she follows the recipes provided by the Golden Corral.Glendy is just one of our favorite servers! She is also very professional, friendly, and courteous! She is talkative and can always answer all of your questions! She is very focused as a server and will take very good care of you and your family or friends. Glendy is very cheerful and will always have a smile for you and your family!Our family gives 5 stars to Denise and Glendy! Denise and Glendy-they rock!
