As the holiday weekend was upon us, my family and I opted to try our local Golden Coral again, since most of the other restaurants were super busy with lines out the door. I haven't been back to this restaurant in some time and was a little apprehensive from the last experience. To my surprise, the restaurant has made some improvements with food choices (healthier selections), food temperature was up to code and cleanliness was okay, but still needed a little more attention. Hot food trays should have been replenished a little faster. Our waitress, Crystal, was a gem and very polite. She kept our table cleared and drinks refilled. We appreciated her attentiveness and friendly smile. The food was also great. I will stop in again if I am in the area. Keep up the good work...

From the time we came in the door, till the time we left it was a truly awesome experience. They are having the Prime Rib, Baked Salmon, Large Shrimp, etc. menu. Everything was delicious and couldn't have been any better. This was the best experience we have had at Golden Corral. From the cashier, waitress, behind the food servers, as well as the managers it was excellant. I would whole heartedly recommend this to everyone. Amazing Bang for the Buck!

For the service experience, I'm there every week picking food up for my job, I'm always getting greeted with a smile, my regular customers look forward in me going to get the food from Golden Corral weekly. Nice Clean Atmosphere. Nothing like talking to the actual owner of the place weekly.

The customer should have the discretion with salt. Too salty. One should be able to get food items and have the choice of salting it themselves. Not everyone likes salt, even if they feel the majority do. Very salty meats, mainly.

Wonderful staff! Food was hot and fresh even at 9:30pm! After a dance competition several families wanted to eat together to celebrate. After being snubbed by BW3's we decided to try Golden Corral. Even though we walked in at 9:30pm we were welcomed and greeted kindly. The staff welcomed us even though it meant they probably would have to stay a bit later to serve us. They were awesome! We will definitely return! I personally ate some of the best popcorn shrimp and rotisserie chicken I have ever tasted! Great job!
