Really nice branch of Golden Corral. Our waitress had a genuine smile and regularly checked we were OK, The food was well cooked and enough cooked so it was fresh and available. Clean.

Selection.......Amazing!!!! 🍉🥦🍔🍗🌭🥚🍤🎂☕🍩 Staff.......Attentive & Polite!!! Management.....decent. 😶 We drive almost 30 mins, passing a few other GCs to frequent this one. This is our second visit and we LUCKILY sat within the same area, at the same table and had the same PHENOMENAL SERVER!! 🤵Hicham🤵 HE IS A BOSS AT RENDERING SERVICE!!!! You need to be at a 5-star establishment!!!! This guy ANTICIPATES your needs and has the mind of an elephant!!!! 🐘 He remembered [remember peeps... this is only our 2nd time visiting] that my friend Loves sweet tea and if I get coffee; I need a lot of creamers. 🥃☕ He doesnt linger like a relative that has out stays their visit. 🤭 He observes 👀from a distance and makes appropriate visits to the table. Yes, you can tell that I once too played the waitress role and eat out on a regular basis. 😊😊😊😊🍽👩‍💼Ok....management. 😶 I was snapping a few shots of the food. 📱 I saw one of the managers [John?] and I SMILED and said I was taking pics because I do reviews. This man informs me; I cant allow pictures to be taken. 🛑 P.S. Never select me for poker or any game that requires bluffing. 🎲🎰🃏 No Poker Face Here!!! I quickly informed him that I had visited before and loved the food & there was no law against taking pictures. Smh! 🤦‍♀️I chalk that up to him having a challenging day and not knowing how to handle it properly and professionally because I heard him speak to another employee harshly regarding her calling in additional staff. ☎️ I will provide a picture of a manager that was exceptional polite during our first visit. When I looked at the pictures on the wall he is titled the Hospitality Manager. The other manager, John, was decent. Luckily, I visit for the Food and Amazing Service from the wait-staff. Will I visit again???? HECK YES!!!!!! 😘😋😊 Hicham as my server, please!!!!!

AWESOME food and staff. A medley of whatever and as much as you want for the price of a movie. Staff very friendly and helpful. Our Thanksgiving meal took place here and let me tell you were so glad we did. Plus, I didnt have to wash dishes or cook. Maybe Christmas meal will also be here.

This Golden Corral has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The cashier Anna was extremely rude and took her time, although she wasn’t doing anything to check me out. Didn’t offer a greeting or say one word until she needed to take my card. I ordered a medium steak and got a hockey puck. I tried to order a second steak and after waiting at least 5 minutes for someone to get to the grill, I was disregarded even though I was the first person up there and the persons order behind me was taken. The bread was hard and none of the food was warm. One of my favorite establishments is now my least favorite. There was no employees to be found. It’s really embarrassing to see what’s happened to this place. Kenny was kind and did give me a refund with no problem.

Honestly, I hadnt been to GC in a long time and had really low expectations going in. That being said the steak cuts were solid, cooked well, sides and other meats seemed fresh. Ill be back.

If I could rate this no stars I would, stood in line for 20 min just to get to the girl ringing everyone up to ignore us standing there. Had to repeat the drinks 4 times a d she still didnt hear it, sat down and there was an older couple literally screaming at each other while employees were in the same area just looking at them and ignoring the fact that they were creating a scene. The people sitting in front of us spoke to each other saying they went and told the manager. The food was hard and not fresh. We left without eating and while telling the manager everything she said she didnt know the couple was arguing even though she was already told. The workers didnt seem to want to help. The baby booster seat was dirty with crumbs and stuff. There was only one lady who took the time to talk to us and was very sweet. Will not go back and would never recommend to anyone.

The grilled steak was awesome and cooked to my perfection. It was extremely tender too. Second piece, was tougher (so my suggestion would be)...if its not tender ask for another piece! The veggies were great and many choices to choose from. Tons of desserts to choose from and soft and hard ice cream! Enjoy!

Review №21

This use to be one of my favorite places to eat. The quality of the food however has really gone down over the years and the price has only gone up. The ingredients are cheap and most things have to much oil and butter. The restaurant it self is nice. Always seems clean and the staff is friendly. The food quality just needs to improve some.

Golden Corral on south Semoran Blvd in Orlando is a very nice all you can eat buffet restaurant at a reasonable price. Please check their website for exact prices as they may change so I dont list them here. There is a large variety of food, side dishes, and deserts for every appetite. Friendly dining assistants will clear off your old plate, while you go back with a fresh plate to try another tasty offering.

My wife and I celebrated the New Year with dinner at your restaurant. We come here 2 - 3 times a month. Its our diet place to eat. Weve lost 90 lbs. between the two of us. Mario cooked our very rare steaks perfectly. Sebastian was an awesome server. The food was hot and fresh. We Love all the veggies and the salad bar. Victoria and Keisha are two more of our favorite servers. Thank you for providing great food at a great price.

Review №27

Great food, very upsetting atmosphere. We visited for my husbands birthday dinner and the cashier, around 8pm, had a bit of an attitude with us in the beginning. Our server was very friendly and attentive - I didnt catch her name, but she was an absolute doll. I noticed when I was getting food at the meat station, that I was getting looks from two of the ladies working behind the counter. I asked my husband and our two friends if they were getting the same looks and they said yes, every station we went to, we got the same stares. We didnt stay very long and felt really uncomfortable from the stares they were giving us

Review №28

Really busy. Not their fault. I will say, whoever was cooking the steaks that day really knew how to cook a steak. It was surprisingly tender and the flavor was amazing. I was just visiting but I would go there regularly if I lived there just for unlimited steak.

I’ve eaten at several golden corrals in this area and this one, by far, is the best one I’ve ever been to. The food is always hot and fresh. The staff is always super friendly, and it is very clean. Definitely my favorite Golden Corral. Love the rolls.

Review №32

It was my boyfriends turn to choose a restaurant and this is what he wanted. The water from the main fountain at the cash register was a bit funny tasting so the machine could use a good scrub. The salad bar had a nice variety, good butterflied shrimp-if you could get any of the 9 they bring out every 10min or so & 1 person will take them all. They have a great steamed zucchini and squash medley. The waitress kept the area clear and the tables clean...there are some slobs here, be sure to tip them!!

The staff members are all great at working together and anticipating guests needs. The food was hot and well prepared. I loved that the signs for the food had portion sizes and calories. Didnt notice the signs on the desserts, but there was a great sellection of everything. I especially enjoyed the okra and tomatoes, the steamed veggies, and the fresh made potato chips, but everything was good.

Review №41

I think because its a neighborhood restaurant, they dont pay as much attention to detail as they should. A lot of the options were old or at least you could taste that it was reheated. Tortilla chips were stale. Salsa was past its expiration date. My sister wanted to go there because they were advertising strawberry cake. When we saw it, the cake was burned on the outside and very dense so we didnt even bother to have any. If you go to a Golden Corral or any buffet, always choose one that is busy all the time. You may have to wait but at least you are guaranteed fresh hot food that is properly rotated out.

Always is good alot to eat, steaks are the best deal for $less than $20, their fried chicken is good. I mean everything is good, they salad for those watching weight(whats purpose pay for a buffet and eat salad) then eat like a polite pig oink oink

Review №43

I gave 3 stars only because the Steak was surprisingly good, really good, and our server Ann was attentive. Otherwise, I would have had to give 2 stars. The biggest reason for my dissatisfaction was the lettuce on the salad bar having Mud and dirt still on it. I didnt notice this until I took a bite of my salad and got a mouth full. The whole experience started off with the cashier charging us for drinks when we asked for water. It took 10 minutes to get a refund as guests in line waited. A buffet is a buffet, and we all know what to expect, but the leftover Spaghetti turned into some sort of baked Spaghetti Casserole was less than desirable. Additionally, the donuts on the Hot bar with the entrees made me wonder if the breakfast hadnt gone so well. Every once in awhile, I venture into a buffet hoping to get some quality variety of fare. Im not sure thats possible here.

Review №44

Good deal, I think the Cooks name at the Steak cutting thing, was Juan, we went on Mothers Day, and it was the nicest cook. Most of the time, the guys have an attitude, but not him. Really friendly guy, cooked the Steak to perfection. The waiter was nice too. The manager was cleaning the buffet area all night. Hard working staff!

Good variety and quick turnover. Foods are always fresh and the service is awesome. My server was great and extremely diligent when it came to refilling our drinks and clearing our tables. This is our favorite Golden Corral in Orlando. Its extremely clean and the employees are always happy to help and accommodate guests with food allergies or who are vegan.

They were at work on Christmas! Every one was so nice from the cooks to the servers. There was even a loud, rude lady complaining about no turkey being on the buffet. The workers smiled and were very accommodating to her. The food was really good but I really enjoyed the staff at this Orlando location. 💕

In March of 2018, I met with a manager named John to reserve the banquet room for a group of Santas from Florida before the holiday season began.On October 06,2018 around 45 Santa’s and Mrs Santa’s arrived to a wonderful reception from the management and staff.Everyone from the management to the server and chefs were fantastic.The hospitality and food were great.Thanks for providing us with a great place and food as we prepare for the holidays.I apologize for being negligent in that I did not get the name and spelling of our server for my review.

Review №59

The food was awesome as usual. My only disappointment was the cashier had no rewards cards for us to start over again. I asked if she had anything to document our visit so a new card could be stamped at our next visit. She said she had nothing. I asked if promotion over and she didnt know. My husband and I come every other week so the rewards card is a real incentive for us. Not sure what our frequency in the future will be.

Review №72

Hands down, the worse Golden Corral service Ive ever experienced. Racist ass woman waited on every table in my section except mine. Im sitting alone and sat at the table to see if she would ever come to see if I needed anything. She addressed every table within the section I was seated except mine several times. It took a lady from another section who noticed me sitting here to go out of her way to service me. Absolutely terrible. The food wasnt bad for they have a decent selection and it was tasty. Especially the meatloaf. Being from the north, this was my first sign of racism in this southern state. I will not be returning here and if your a person of color I suggest u dont either. I wanted to curse the lady out so bad but I kept my composure. She was horrible.

Worst dining experience at a Golden Corral EVER!!. I know GC is not an upscale place .. but I was driving past and hungry so I thought .. why not.? Small afternoon brunch crowd. Selection was so small on the salad bar it was pathetic. Noticed not much on the regular buffet also, many of the containers were empty and remained so during my stay. Waitress came up, signed her name on my receipt, collected the tip on the next table with no clean up and walked off.. not a word to me. Sat there with and empty glass for 10 mins .. got up and walked out.. Never again ! They. Place Im certain wonders why the get such a bad reputation. Well heres why!!

As far as Golden Corrals go, this one is decent and edible. The wait staff is relatively friendly, and most of the food tastes good and fresh. That’s the key to GC’s: you’ve got to be willing to try everything, acting as your own quality control. If you’re willing to put in that work and barely pay a thing for a lot of food, then this is a good GC location.

The food is good but could be seasoned a little more. The Brunch special is nothing more than breakfast with one or two items of lunch. Service is good but not excellent. Dirty plates were not picked up in time, but when they were picked up, the server apologized genuinely.I would suggest going for lunch or dinner. Not brunch.
