My daughter and I went for breakfast. Everything was COLD. Buiscits, gravy, hash browns, eggs, sausage and bacon. I know it is a buffet, but something should be HOT. For the price, it was terrible. Will NOT Be going back for breakfast again.

3/19/2026 @5:20pm - Store 625 - 13145 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX - Had a very pool dining experience 3 Adults and 1 Child the bill was 70.63. After sampling most of the food on the buffet I could the see that most of the food I had selected was off temperature, dry, and tasteless. I was disappointed to find my family was feeling the same way about the food. When we arrived, my family went to the rest rooms to wash hand, the restrooms were unclean. I communicated my experience to the manager at that time, He said he would take care of my concerns. After waiting awhile to give manager some time to correct thing. We sampled the food a second time and was experiencing some of the same issues including restroom was still nasty. I asked the manager for refund, he said he couldn't give me a refund. Went to speak to General Manager that was sitting in one of the overflow rooms, I explained the experience we were having. The first thing out of his mouth was, "You can't come in here", I ask him for a refund. He seemed upset and said to me "everything is up to Golden Correl standards". Asked General Manager again for refund, he asked me to leave and said he would call the Police. To keep the peace and to not to cause a commotion we left restaurant. There is one of the very best Golden Corral is at 12500 Gulf Fry, Houston, TX. It would be very beneficial for Golden Corral Corporation improve low-performing restaurants by have General Managers and Mangers work under Management at the above location. The Management team at the Gulf Fwy has it right, "it couldn't be better". Thank you,

Let me tell you about my experience on Monday at the Merrillville, IN location. First, The sign states they open at 11 A.M. in which they finally opened at 11:30 A.M. causing customers to walk out. Next, After paying for my lunch and starting to make my plate I was informed (Not by a employee but by a customer) that they were out of there savory and delicious pot roast. What a disappointment. 😞 Finally, The food wasn't even hot after 2 minutes of it being on my plate. I was eventually given a full refund after waiting 3 days. This location is usually solid so I don't know how they managed to drop the ball this time.

Went to the location in Schererville Indiana and got the veteran discount. Not a lot of people there and the food was plentiful at 1pm. Went and fixed me a nice plate of food and when I started eating I noticed that the food was all cold. The only things that were warm was the food they just put out which means the food that was cold had been sitting there a while. When I tried the chicken it wasn’t crispy so I knew it had been sitting there a long time. I picked up the thigh and bit into it just to see blood oozing out from the chicken. The chicken was so undercooked that I could see the uncooked parts under the blood. I complained about this location before and heard nothing back from the manager nor any response from corporate. I did talk to the lady who worked the cash register but didn’t get a refund as I don’t plan on going to this location again. I’m writing this review because they never responded to my complaint. Since this food was so undercooked it became a health issue by serving customers undercooked chicken. I then filed a complaint with the health department and provided them with the pictures I took with my Golden Corral receipt still sitting on the table. The health department followed up with me but Golden Corral wasn’t to concerned about the customers being fed undercooked food so I reported it. There is no way that the chicken should have made it's way to the customer for consumption. This place needs to be closed down and hopefully the Health Department will shut them down. Maybe they’ll respond to this review. Federal and state governments requires them to cook the food at a certain temperature and check with a thermometer before sitting it out for consumption. I wasted to much money at this place to get cold food and nearly raw chicken. This shows that they really don’t care about our health and good service. Let’s see how they respond to this review and picture.

This golden corral DOESN'T TRUST THERE customers,this restaurant should be skipped and look at other restaurants in Winter Haven Florida. IT'S also the HIGHEST price golden corral that I've eaten at and I'VE eaten at a great many golden corrals. I've NEVER had a restaurant ask to see my receipt then need to sign it .They would be better served to keep the food full and have butter/margarine for baked potato (butter or margarine) and or vegetables. If you have a complaint you should just contact Golden corral corporate they will get tired of the complaints and maybe lessen to the customers and change the management /ownership of this location.

The little short lady that was in at 11am attended us was su rude yelling at me in Spanish. She directed towards me and I was speaking with my family about our seating. Feeling awkward already about personal matters and she raises her voice at me about what we want to drink. Us not knowing the system. She could have had more patience. And tried to help us get seated first before just worrying about the receipt. And then when we need refills she dramatically gets in our face repeatedly asking you good you good you good like yes. We responded . Then when we need her and try to get her attention she doesn’t even acknowledge cause she sitting and chatting with some coworkers. What golden coral can improve on is tell that little short lady have more patience try to help folks before yelling at them. Help them figure it out. If that’s what u get paid to do. If we didn’t ack prolly just wait till u catch someone attention. Especially the fact that I didn’t even pay for nothing I want the main person there and she just yelled in Spanish at me. So yeah I didn’t leave no tip and she was being sarcastic and loud with my mother who has nothing to do with nothing and was like “gracias por mi propina”. Girl bye ✌️ u didn’t do nun but annoy us and ruin our day. And on my son bday. I know this google review point less 😒 but ima let it be known she need to go.

I would give it less than one star if I could. We went there around 3:30 in the afternoon. There was not much food out and when ask we were told they were not going to be putting any more food out until the dinner hour. What food they did have out was luke warm at best. This is the restaurant in Gulfport, MS and I will not be going back.

We have ate there many times. Four to five times we have went to the Golden Corral in Effingham Il and the food was cold, not warm COLD. Sometimes it is really dirty and other times not to bad. I have complained to the assistant manager several times and nothing is ever fixed.
