Golden Corral Buffet & Grill — Restaurant in Downey

Either this place changed from when I went last, about 3 years ago, or my tastes changed because things don't taste so good to me anymore from what I remembered. Said another way, I can make tastier dishes than almost all of the ones offered at their restaurant. I tried a variety of different items (minus anything Mexican as I already have eaten enough of that cuisine and minus spaghetti for the same reason), including the beef stew, biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, rice pilaf, mashed potatoes & gravy, meatloaf, and a variety of desserts, including pie and cookies, and I'm saying truthfully that I wouldn't be going back there again unless someone were to treat me, and if that did happen, what I would get again is the ham, some bacon strips, a few potato wedges, and a yeast roll together with what I didn't try this time--the green salads, fruits, baked potato, and soups. I would not go back for any desserts, at all--not even the carrot cake because the slice I ate was quite dry, and also because I can make a better carrot cake than theirs.The banana pudding was too sweet and their orange juice, too sour. I did not try the pizzas because they looked like convenience food taken out out of a package. The meatloaf and stew were OK, but mine is still better tasting. The fried chicken was OK but the coating was a little under-salted. What I do not like about the food I tried is that most of it was too fatty, loaded with calories and salt. The pancakes and French toast weren't worth trying, and the strawberry topping tasted fake. It seems the last time I went there, there were more vegetable dishes, not so this time. Sorry, Golden Corral, something changed--either me or you, but I did not enjoy my visit this time and also noticed that the price went up by $3...

Golden Corral presents an exceptional dining option for those seeking a combination of flavorful cuisine and a welcoming environment. During my recent visit, I found the food to be not only delicious but also abundant in variety, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The ambiance was inviting, with comfortable seating arrangements and a warm atmosphere that enhanced the overall dining experience.

While I didn't linger for an extended period, I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail in both the presentation of the food and the cleanliness of the establishment. From savory entrees to indulgent desserts, Golden Corral offers a culinary journey that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.

In terms of value, while Golden Corral may not be the cheapest option available, I firmly believe that the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justify the price. For those who prioritize value over cost, the wide selection of dishes and the enjoyable atmosphere make it a worthwhile investment in culinary satisfaction.

However, it's important to note that for individuals who are more budget-conscious, Golden Corral may not align with their financial preferences. In such cases, opting to dine at home may be a more prudent choice. Nonetheless, for those seeking a memorable dining experience with a diverse selection of delicious fare, Golden Corral...

Avoid this location at all costs! My family and I went on September 6th to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday, and the food was horribly disgusting. I’ve visited multiple locations in NV and CA and the food usually tastes the same at all of them. Not at this location! The food was either overcooked, burnt, or had been sitting way too long without being changed out for fresh food. The rolls were so dry I chocked on one! We had to ask our waiter to let the kitchen staff know that ALL of the baked potatoes were burnt so they could change them out. Me and several family members were bitten by some type of bugs or fleas. Several of us also got food poisoning after eating here. I called multiple times to speak to a manager and make a complaint only to be told I would get a call back, but I never did. I called about 15-20 times! I went up to the location twice to speak to someone in person. The first time I was told that they would check the cameras and I would receive a call back. I never got it. The second time that I went, I spoke to a manager named Antonio. He told me that they would not refund my money or give me a gift card to use at another location. He then told me that they would review the video and get back to me. Fast forward to October and I had to call back yet again. The first time I called I was hung up on. The second time I called back, Antonio answered and said that after reviewing the video (what exactly they had to review I’m not sure) and speaking to his colleagues, he would not refund my money since it was a large amount (~ $160). The management staff obviously only cares about profit. They never even asked how me or my family members were feeling when I told them that we got sick after our meal. Do yourself and your stomach a favor and don’t waste your time or money here. I would give zero stars, if I could. Go to the one in Bellflower. The food and staff are much better!

¡Evita este lugar a toda costa! Mi familia y yo fuimos el 6 de septiembre a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi suegra y la comida era terriblemente asquerosa. He visitado varios lugares en NV y CA y la comida suele saber igual en todos ellos. ¡No en este lugar! La comida estaba demasiado cocida, quemada o había estado reposando demasiado tiempo sin ser cambiada por comida fresca. ¡Los panecillos estaban tan secos que me atraganté con uno! Tuvimos que pedirle a nuestro camarero que le informara al personal de la cocina que TODAS las papas horneadas estaban quemadas para poder cambiarlas. A mí y a varios miembros de mi familia nos picó algún tipo de insecto o pulga. Varios de nosotros también sufrimos una intoxicación alimentaria después de comer aquí. Llamé varias veces para hablar con un gerente y presentar una queja y me dijeron que me devolverían la llamada, pero nunca lo hice. ¡Llamé entre 15 y 20 veces! Subí al lugar dos veces para hablar con alguien en persona. La primera vez me dijeron que revisarían las cámaras y recibiría una llamada. Nunca lo recibí. La segunda vez que fui hablé con un gerente llamado Antonio. Me dijo que no me reembolsarían el dinero ni me darían una tarjeta de regalo para usar en otro lugar. Luego me dijo que revisarían el video y se comunicarían conmigo. Avancemos rápidamente hasta octubre y tuve que volver a llamar. La primera vez que llamé me colgaron. La segunda vez que volví a llamar, Antonio respondió y dijo que después de revisar el video (no estoy seguro de qué tenían que revisar exactamente) y hablar con sus colegas, no me reembolsaría el dinero ya que era una cantidad grande (~ $160 ). Al personal directivo obviamente sólo le importan las ganancias. Ni siquiera me preguntaron cómo nos sentíamos yo o los miembros de mi familia cuando les dije que nos enfermamos después de comer. Hágase un favor a usted y a su estómago y no pierda su tiempo ni su dinero aquí. Daría cero estrellas, si pudiera. Ve al de Bellflower. ¡La comida y el personal son...
