  • I've eaten at this Golden Coral pretty regularly since they opened several years ago. I figured it was time to leave a review. Now, I'm not a "try it all" sorta buffet patron. I zero in on those things I like and tend to stick with it. So, no, I haven't tried everything they have. But I have had quite a bit. The short version of this review is "If you like buffets, then you're going to like the Gastonia Golden Corral on E. Franklin Blvd." My staples are the popcorn shrimp, who's breading is heavy, but not so much that you're not exactly sure whether there was a shrimp in that bite or not. As mentioned in another review, the pot roast is really good. The fried chicken is always crispy and the seasoning is just the way I like it. The meat loaf is also very good. Let's not forget the grill, where you will get a steak cooked pretty close to the way you like it. Now, let me remind you. You're in a buffet restaurant, not a steakhouse, so don't judge with your steakhouse glasses on. :) I like my steaks medium rare and the cook is happy to show you the cut before serving so you can choose. When I choose to get steak, I'm always happy with how it tastes. The Bourbon Chicken never fails to call me back for seconds. As for sides, I suppose all the usuals are present. All are good with the exception of one. The collard greens are just terrible. Now, it's their recipe, not an off night or disgruntled cook. For me, collard greens need to be cooked in fatback with perhaps a pepper or two in there for some bite. Then cooked long and low. No where, did I make mention of sugar. The collard greens here have sugar in the recipe. I've tried them on three occasions just to see if it was a bad night in the kitchen or not. They were as bad the second time as the first. The third time was accidental. They just look so good! I forgot. But yes, they were just as bad again. But if you like sugar in your collards then Bon Apetite! I don't spend a lot of time at the salad bar, but my wife does. She's never commented to me about how awful anything was. Everything I've ever had from there has been crisp and fresh. So I'll say it again. If you like buffets, then I think you'll like this one. I give it 4 stars because I am a fan of this Golden Corral. They serve fresh food that is seasoned nicely at a fair price.
