Golden Corral used to be the buffet place second to none. Recently I visited one of the locations for dinner. I have to say is, "What the heck happened"? The rolls were the rolls that other restaurants would strive to make, but they were so high on a pedestal that no other establishment could ever reach. This time I went I threw most of them out. They were dry, hard, and did not taste anywhere close to what they once used to. The pot roast had no flavor nor did the mashed potatoes. I understand that we all have our bad days, or new cook's that are just learning the menu and recipes of the company expectations and standards of taste, quality, smell, and presentation. Also I don't know if they are short staffed or employees do not stay and work the position they are scheduled to work. Or the General Manager and the managing staff are not implementing, and enforcing company standards, and expectations that I'm sure are in the policy and procedures. Employee expectations, job and position expectations. I know we all might not agree what is written out and expected from the company we work for. But at the end of the day it says Golden Corral on the building. It doesn't say Mike's Cafe, or Susie's Kitchen. So we need to get back to basics retrain or restaff, and if that's not the problem then management needs to change from GM on up. I'll try one of your locations again in the near future, hoping that it was just a bad day and time for that certain location. And my faith in Golden Corral can be brought back from throwing away the rolls to buying several dozen to take to corporate cookouts and...

Restaurant is okay. I'm not a picky eater at all. Came in during dinner hours (5pm)

Out of 5 ★:

Food (general/variety): ★★★ (6/10) Steak & grilled chicken: ★★★★★ (10/10) Pasteries: 0 (0/10) Salad bar:★★★ (6/10 Service: ★★★★ (9/10) Overall: ★★★ (6/10)

The only thing I really enjoyed was the steak, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The steak was delicious and is pretty much the only great thing about the food. (it is quality steak cooked at your own pleasure, could compare to steak houses)

The grilled chicken is cooked very good. The fried chciken on the other hand looked pretty disgusting and really greasy.

Did I mention they have a cotton candy machine? Awesome!

Since I did not find that much food that I liked apart from the food mentioned above, I planned on eating some delicious pastries, but the pastries were quite horrible and could not find one good thing to eat (I had never thrown away carrot cake before). But that's okay, I can just eat some ice cream with cookies but there wasn't any either. Huge, huge bummer. (I even heard tables around me complain about the pastries)

Another thing that I didn't like is that there wasn't any food labels, thus I really didn't know what I was eating or which salad dressing was what.

The service and waiters were good, and attended us frequently.

You can really make your money's worth on just the steak and grilled chicken, just wished there were better options and at least decent pastries like cookies, cake that tastes okay...
