Yum! A delicious buffet with soooo many options! We went for breakfast and dinner and both were exquisite! If you go for breakfast ask for Johnathan for your waiter. He is amazing and will make your experience so much fun. Loved this restaurant so much ❤️

It was nice to visit after some time has passed since the last visit. Cashier was very pleasant and our server Bryan was awesome. We didnt have to ask for anything, he knew what we wanted and brought before we could say. There was hand sanitizer everywhere, gloves with every plate, tables were clean. The only draw back was the chicken pot pie wasnt good at all. My son couldnt eat it, said it tasted sour. After informing our server, he notified management. The item was taken off the buffet. I had the fish, salad bar, vegetables, and 2 cookies. The icing on bread pudding was too sweet, so was the icing on the cake. Overall I would have to change my rating from 5 to a 3 1/2

Visited today on Easter Sunday for the first time since before the pandemic. Very impressed with the staff. They were very welcoming and friendly. Great attention was placed on ensuring cleanliness of the restaurant. Tables were cleaned quickly, disposable gloves handed to each customer before handling utensils. Food was delicious and as always a wide variety. A family favorite for many years. Looking forward to our next visit.

I didnt find any value in their buffet selection. It felt like a colossal waste of money, but my friends who eat red meat and fried foods had a great time. To me, most everything was overcooked, fried, and bland (the clam chowder was the biggest disappointment). And while the delta variant is spreading like crazy? I just... dont get it.The staff was doing an amazing job trying to keep everyone happy (it was PACKED), whilst also having to maintain health standards, yet enforcing covid protocols (mask & glove wearing at the buffet, etc). They absolutely get an A+ from me, but the business itself clearly isnt aiming for health-conscious individuals.

The only complaint I have is the Food get cold on your plate when by the time you sit down to eat. Maybe if your employees would stir food more often to keep temperature hot throughout pan it would help. Everything else if good! Food is good just gets cold fast. Thanks

Hadnt been to The Golden Corral in quite a while and found that the food was still good. The fried shrimp and fish were plentiful and fried ever so perfectly. The roasted turkey was juicy and flavorful. The stuffing and gravy were spot on as well.Our server was very attentive and never let our cups run dry. It was the first time I had taken my 2 year old daughter to a buffet and she ate quite a few shrimp and green beans (her favorite veggie). Chocolate drizzled marshmallows rounded out her dinner and we were pleased. Will definitely keep going back.

The one serving I attempted to eat was terrible...the sprite was bitter soda water and whats with the one... as in single plastic glove? Though customers were socially distancing I was uncomfortable - I left there with the quickness.

WARNING: Had a large party attend 5/24/21. Bill was $75. One child wanted to upgrade soda to adult. I spoke with the young man in the front, who was very polite during our transaction. However, a week later,(too late to report) this guy charged me $20.53 ! The receipt shows less than a two dollars. I wish that I could travel that far and get my money but I will warn everyone instead. BTW he almost got into a fist fight with a customer later that same night. Perhaps he got caught. Count your change and check your bank statements ASAP. Food was very good and the place was clean. Service was slow at tables but polite.

The Golden Corral is very clean and has a wide selection of choices. I went Thursday at lunch and it wasnt to crowded. They give you a glove to wear when getting your food.

The worst Golden Corral I have ever been to. My family and I went in paid for our meals went to our table met our waitress ate one plate of food then the manager stopped me on the way to the bar and told me that I could go to the bar without a Mask no sign on door nothing and I didnt have any so I kindly asked them to give me a mask so we could finish our dinner. Then I was told they dont have any and then I told them to refund my money since we werent allowed to finish our dinner. That wouldnt give us our money back then we were asked to leave the cashier tried to assault me when I demanded my money back she should be fired and so should both managers I went in without an mask they took my money without a mask I walked to my table and got my first plate without a mask and none said a word until after we were there approximately 15 mins I left hungry and no refund worst Golden Corral ever Waldorf MD

Our server was great! However, some of the food items were cold or lukewarm. We arrived just as they opened for the day so the hot food items shouldve been hot. That was the only down side to our meal.

Finding a bug in your food really deserves less then 1 star. And after showing the bug to the manager I was offered a voucher to come back SMH wont see me AGAIN. THANKS BUT NO THANKS

I was in the mood to go to Golden Corral. I haven’t gone to a buffet in years. The closest location I found was in Waldorf since a lot of their locations are only open for take out and I wanted to dine in. With covid and everything they’re very good at practicing social distancing and keeping everything clean. They give you gloves and serve you a plate when you’re ready to get food. Our server was nice and kept checking on us periodically making sure we were okay. Overall had good experience at Golden Corral.

This place was a mess!!!! People in mile long lines shouting at each other over the usage of napkins to aquire food. I complained and the manager Mr. Matt Stilwell told me I didnt know what I was talking about. I will never eat at this Golden Corral again. I wrote my complaint in their submission form on the website, no response. Seriously considering writing the BBB about this one.

I don’t rate one star often, but this places don’t even deserve 1. I’m sorry but this places was disgusting, the manager didn’t show up to my table when I ask for it. watch out on your food. We found mold in the meat it was gross and I wanted to throw up. What a horrible experience. Please golden coral get your staff to take care of food and handle it properly. SO GROSS

Always clean. And new safety guidelines put in place. The only problem is when I go to the steak bar the look at me being petite and give me ridiculously small piece of steak. Most of the time I just shrug it off, but the next time I will bring it to attention. Otherwise great place alone, pair or entire family. To go is a little pricey.

Review №68

Food good but need to take sign down on door. States no mask needed to those who recieved the COVID vaccine. Young man refuse to take our order if I didnt put my mask on even though I asked about the sign and I can provide proof that I did indeed recieve the vaccine. He refused to ring up our order until I put on my mask which I dont mind. The point is the sign is misleading.

RE
Review №85

Not the best Golden Corral in Maryland and not the worst I would say it needs improvements the staff is not the friendliest and the food isnt the tastiest either but there is a lot of variety which I like one thing I hate is that the sprite tastes like normal sparkling water it has no flavor just gas and it was the same last time I was here I dont know if the waitress got confused or if its the same in all Golden Corrals but they really need to fix that.
