$34. For 3 adults with drinks. Got in at 11am on a Friday no lines. Bathroom was clean and staff was attentive, friendly and professional. A few of the reviews talked about the place being dirty. The only areas that were messy and dirty were by the tables of people who didn't know how to keep their stuff on the table. The staff is courteous enough to wait for them to finish eating before sweeping up their mess. So the mess and the dirtiness can only be attributed to the messy people that go there otherwise the place is clean. It got really busy and full quick . The trays they put out are not so big and not so deep and with the amount of people that come in you can be assured that everything is hot, fresh and has not been sitting there for hours.
The other reviews compared Golden Corral to Hometown Buffet, in ways it is by the type of food they serve. There was nothing there that was exciting. The usuals spaghetti , lasagna, fried and BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese the usual All American diner stuff. The difference between Hometown and Golden Corral is bigger selection and quality. The biscuits are 3 times the size, the BBQ chicken are leg quarters instead of small thighs. The dessert selection is huge and the servings are big.
The food tasted good it wasn't bland but it is also wasn't different. The cakes were too sweet but they had many to chose from. I was looking forward to the steaks, wings and the chocolate fountains. They didn't have the steaks or wings when I went. The fountain presentation was not as cool as I imagined it to be. All in all Golden Corral is a great place to go when you want diner food.
