My husband and I stopped by Golden Corral for lunch on April 30, 2014 1:30pm...I advise you to keep driving, don't stop. Why?
1. The front of the restaurant had a lot of trash...and it wasn't a windy day...first impression.
2. As you walk in you pick up a plastic tumbler for your beverage they are brown and not the color of the plastic brown...stained. They should just buy the brown ones. And the plates should go also...presentation goes along way.
3. No one greeted us and since it was our first time (last) visiting it would have been helpful to be informed of Golden Corrals process. Normally you pay before you get your drink...weird.
4. As we were looking for somewhere to sit...that was difficult because the floor was dirty, rolls stuck in the leg of chair and crumbs at more than one table and around the serving stations (it wasn't too crowded to do a quick sweep)...no one had a roller broom (Wal-Mart is across the street).
5. Then we had to find someone to wipe off a table, she didn't touch the seat that had crumbs, did it myself.
6. The DEAL BREAKER...we went to the back section by the waitress beverage station to visit with friends. We were HIT with that sour SMELL when a restaurant hasn't changed the water they are using to wiping the tables with for some time...Golden Corral please put a cap full of bleach or hydrogen peroxide in your water if you aren't going to change it! That smell makes it hard to enjoy your food, our friends has sinus problems that day...lucky for you!
7. Before we could get out of the parking lot we were both feeling sick to our stomachs. Yes we should have ran at the front door, but we were trying to support the community.
If you are brave we give the food a 2 1/2 out of 5. Good luck!
