My 29 year old daughter and I were visiting my Mom from our home in Naples, Florida for her 95th birthday. She wanted to go to the Golden Corral with one of her younger sisters. Why not? Go early. We went at 4 PM and the line was already long. Having long outgrown Springfield, Illinois, I was not expecting much.... More

We have been using this Golden Corral for the last 4-6 years for dinner. It is a cheap way to feed your 8th grade students. The staff and manager seem to go out of their way for us. They make us feel welcome, no matter the size of our group. The food is always hot and plentiful. We like going... More

Seriously gross. I can't stand food that has been picked through by hundreds of overwieght adults and unattended booger eating children. BTW it's not cheap either. Don't eat here unless you are desparate for choices for everyone... Then again just go to like a chinese american buffet instead.

Each Veterans Day the Golden Corral sets aside a night for free meals for Veterans. This year my husband and daughter (both being veterans) had a wonderful meal to honor their service to their country. This made this visit special indeed as they shared dinner with others who had the same experience as they did. The meal was the usual... More

The Service when you first walk in and can't forget the never ending all you can eat with the chocolate fall with fresh strawberries and marshmallows to put under the chocolate, and to watch them prepare your Steak in front of you the way you like it

We do not go there very often but when you go if you leave hungry than there is something wrong with you. The food is excellent and the services is great and I like it also because of the way they treat verant on verant day by giving them a free. Thanks Golden corral for that.

Something for everyone - even picky eaters like me! We always stop on our way home from St Louis MO and never had a bad meal here. The Seniors special until 4pm is a nice touch. Great variety of salads, entrees, vegetable sides and desserts. FIVE kinds of shrimp one time; popcorn, butterfly, regular fried, boiled in shells, camaroon (frizzled... More

This buffet is a good value for all of the items that are provided to you for your money. My husband and I both enjoyed all of the items we chose to eat, but the large variety of items prevented us from trying everything.
