The food is okay. Not great. Just okay. They use too much pepper in their fried foods, perhaps because they don't have much flavor on their own. The fries are mushy. Good selection of other foods. Nachos are great.
The chocolate fountains are a draw for kids but are really kind of scary if you watch what goes on at them. With 3 different fountains in 3 different flavors you get people sticking stuff in one after the other so all 3 are mixed since the stuff recycles and there are food particles all around them. The items they serve to dip are horrendously dried out or wilted. I really don't know why the fountains are so popular with any adult.
The one real complaint I have is that you have to rely on wait staff to get drink refills. By wait I mean waaaait... we were there nearly a half hour before our server breezed by our table. The one refill we got was because I got up and went to the register myself. I've been to Golden Corral before and this is par for the course.
