First off, our table attendant was so kind and helpful! I knew going in this was a buffet setting. If you’re expecting “fine dining” you’ve probably never been to a buffet restaurant! Lol 2 people dinner, 2 drinks, about $50. Now keep in mind I’ve gone to fast food places and had disgusting cold food and spent that much money. I don’t think anybody should complain about paying $19 for an abundant amount of various dinner foods, consistently put out fresh, kind buffet attendants…and have a decent place to sit. The parking lot for some reason was pretty dark when we left. Everybody there, the families, seemed so happy spending time together. We went at 4:00 pm right at the start of dinner, a perfect time. It was a pleasant experience!! My husband said his steak was really good. I was able to get various vegetables, salad so many choices, and childhood foods like green bean casserole and deviled eggs (things I never cook) and nicely prepared main meals. Again, keep in mind this is a buffet!! We’re talking tons of food sitting under heat lamp, being refilled as needed, but it was very clean, & the plates were clean when we were there. All in all very decent and I’m tired of spending $45 for a burger, fries and a drink at other fast food places… I was not a fan of the dessert bar but that was okay, I had coffee and cornbread!

We have eaten at thus Golden Corral a few times since it reopened and have had pleasant experiences. The steaks are a highlight, as well at the elote, and fried okra. The crepes at breakfast are wonderful. Kids love the slushie machine. There is something for just about everyone. The most recent time we went, we got yogurt with breakfast and after a few bites noticed it didn't taste right. Looked at the expiration date and they expired Nov. 25, 2025. This was February 15, 2026. We let our server know and hopefully they took care of the rest of them.

Came back for late lunch/early dinner senior special on Friday, 2Jan. Our last visit for brunch one day last month was just way below the mark. But, this time everything was great, delicious, hot, and cooked perfectly. Clam chowder was hot, big clam chunks, and not salty. Catfish yummy! Fried chicken livers with sautéed onions was the bomb! Chicken thighs hot and moist and flavorful, just hard to keep them stocked up on the buffet. Outstanding meal, thank you Golden Corral crew!

This location had a fire and was closed down for several years, but has been re-modeled and is back open. They have a senior special price between like 1-3pm free beverage. The place is clean and employees are constantly refilling tge buffet and keeping it looking nice. Lots and lots of good food choices. Chicken and ham are good, and I like sone of vegetables and fruit, items U just don’t seem to buy for eating at home. The fresh fruit was really good, cantalope was really good. And the dessert section had a lot of different treats. Were there a couple times in late January-February one time they did have chocolate dipped strawberries that were really ripe and good. Good parking access too.

First off ... it a buffet and a very reasonably priced buffet so keep that in mind. For me being on a low carbohydrate diet this place can't be beat, Food is good and fresh or relatively fresh, great variety, especially the dinner menu you get even more choices of quality protein, roast beef, ribs, ham, they always have fantastic fried chicken and beef liver. Sometimes they overcook the liver. Staff is very nice, polite and fast moving. Please remember to tip them, we normally leave $5
