| - A basic buffet style restaurant, Golden Corral offers a lot for a relatively low price. Does this mean the restaurant is good? Not necessarily. Read on...
(Scales are 1-5, same as Yelp ratings)
Atmosphere: 1
During peak hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the place is jam packed with seniors and families. Fortunately, the restaurant has a decent amount of seating, but you'll still feel like you're packed into a sardine can. Additionally, the food is REALLY close to the seating, making eating very uncomfortable as people pass by you to get seconds (or thirds, fourths...).
Service: 3
I can't really complain too much about the service since a buffet is naturally self serve. But, the employees at the cash register were prompt and the waitress serving drinks was relatively attentive. I gave the service a 3 largely because I found that the food servers failed to refill food bins on a timely basis. Additionally, the deserts area was a mess. A lot of the pastries and cakes had to be taken by hand. The area was generally dirty given chocolate stains and ice cream droppings. Reminded me a lot of my days in the dorm dining halls in college.
Food: 2
Ever been to an average Las Vegas buffet? This, for the most part, mimics it. Largely American based foods, with Americanized ethnic foods (orange chicken, burritos). The food is kept hot. And, I admit, the food can be tasty. There are vegetarian offerings. The desert section is limited, especially for those with diabetes.
Cost: 3.5
You can't beat the cost of a buffet if you eat a lot. So, quantity will typically match cost. If you are a senior or a child, there is a nice reduction.
Pros: Decent cost. Certain dishes are tasty.
Cons: During peak hours, jam packed and very uncomfortable. Buffet offers basic American or Americanized foods. Desert section is lacking and disorganized.
In sum, avoid this place like the plague during peak hours. Go here only if you want quantity. If you want a real Buffet, go to Vegas.
Sample Size: I have eaten here once in the last year.
