| - I will start off by saying that the food was much better than I was expecting. If this review was only about the food I would give the Golden Corral 5 stars. But alas, there were problems that have prevented that from happening.
This was the first visit for all of us. We were a party of 5, and arrived early because people told us the line was long and we should plan on waiting a while before being seated. We walked in the door with a big sticker that said "We're glad you're here" and there was not a single person ahead of us. Walking up to the register I would have expected a greeting along the lines of "Welcome to Golden Corral". Instead the cashier snapped "You have to get your drinks first".
I understand that some buffets do not include the drinks, and I am OK with this. But I do not appreciate being misled. I also don't find this to be a friendly greeting. We paid and stood by a sign that said "Please wait to be seated". After waiting for some time the rude cashier finally told us we could take any seat we wanted. (Note to other diners: Signs here don't mean that much)
On the way to find I table I couldn't help look over the food, and was happy to see hand scooped chocolate chip mint ice cream and hot fudge. ... Let the dinner begin ... Again I will mention that the food was good. The service, however, was terrible. Drinks were never refilled, plates were never cleared. I was wondering if we picked a table without a server assigned to it, but there was ample staff working.
Looking at the employees I noticed that nobody smiled. Not a single employee seemed to enjoy their job. This was a terrible place to work. Waiters and waitresses pushed their way through customers. Customers are nothing more than an inconvenience to the staff.
OK, time for Ice Cream!!! I stood at the counter, but the single employee behind that counter was rolling some balls of dough. Her back was to us and we could not get her attention. Yes, once again, customers are nothing more than an inconvenience to the staff. I gave up on the Ice Cream and went to the chocolate fountain. There was a single green strawberry and the chocolate was foaming. (I'll pass on that).
The cookies were good. A second trip to the ice cream bar was a waste of time, as there was more bread dough to roll.
Of the 5 of us, two people said they would come back despite the poor service. Myself and my date felt differently. We agreed never again. The 5th person was indifferent, saying "I could take it or leave it". Seeing how 60% of the Golden Corral's new customers have no plans on returning, I now understand why there was no line at the front.
In the restroom there is a sign that states: "Employees must wash their hands before returning to work". This scared me, as we already determined that "Signs here don't mean that much".
