Food selection was not what makes Golden Corral the place to have lunch after Church.. To start of the plates were set out wet, so I had to grab napkins to wipe off. The buttered bread was not buttered, food did not follow when food trays were about to be empty.. Seen a little girl and her Dad wait a couple a minutes for pizza.. Brownsville GC need a tune in Management and service, and especially food presentation.

Service was okay , the cashier took a long time to charge.the food was decent but not worth it , paid $47 for two people.

Party of 8. 6 children 2 adults paid $153.01. While we were waiting in line getting our drinks a server kept cutting my kids off to get drinks for their tables. No excuse me or anything. At the table we waited 15 minutes with no greeting I had to get up to get silverware for the entire table. Only 2 of my kids got refills from a server. The rest of us had to get up and get them ourselves. Not to mention the buffet line cooks couldn't keep up with refilling the food. The steak cook was putting 2 chunks of meat down at a time even though he had a line of 8 at one point. I witnessed him telling the people in front of me that people like to get double steak at once because they're too lazy to walk so we have to wait longer because of that. Won't be back.

This was my first time ever coming to the Golden Corral in Brownsville, my go to is usually the Harlingen one. It was alright! We went during lunch, so there was a pretty good amount of people there- but we were taken care of fast. The rolls were awesome, but everything else was lackluster. The macaroni was cold, the pot roast just tasted off, and the broccoli/cauliflower was nothing to brag about as well. The highlight, for sure, was the dessert. Their ice cream is so good, and all of the pies were great. I love the toppings, variety, and all of the stuff offered in that section. Also, the strawberries were VERY fresh! In terms of service, our waitress was meh. We had Lily and she didn’t really take the time to refill our drinks at all. 🤷‍♀️ Overall, a below average experience. Probably wouldn’t return here if it wasn’t for the dessert

Took my daughter to the restroom and just seeing this trashcan stained with poop is disgusting. Looks dried up like it's been there for weeks, I'm sure months. It's disgusting that they would just change out the trash bag but not fully clean. As for the food. It was alright. There wasn't much selection for entree but tones of sides.

2 adults, 2 seniors, and 1 child age 5 yrs. and our bill was over $130... the food was absolute trash... someone warmer must have been turned off or not working properly because I went to grab some fish and it was barely room temperature... there was no one there to cook you a piece of steak 😭 and there were several warmers at each station that were just completely empty... the food that was available looked like it had been sitting there for a good minute... it looked like anything but appetizing... The staff was mediocre, quite a few kitchen staff just walking around and whistling back and forth to each other... our server only came to our table to collect the used plates, but never offered to refill our drinks... we had to ask for more drinks... they took out the chocolate fountain and replaced it with a waffle station since the last time I was there... I went to check it out and noticed a cockroach 🪳 dining on the syrup that was spilled everywhere... he was chilling and I didn't want to disturb his dinner, so I returned to my table, grabbed my family and we left... this place has really gone downhill... we where extremely dissatisfied 1,000%

SO this used to be a good buffet. Food was hot before, lots of variety, decent amount of meat and vegetables. Now? Maybe one or two selections of meat. They advertise the hot dogs on a griller but the grill sits there unused while the hot dogs sit in disgusting water. The beef stew is usually too hard to break apart with the spoon if you even get stew. Mostly you get the vegetables that come with the stew and no meat. Steaks are always cooked terribly, if they even have them ready. Food is never ready. Broccoli is always hard and not steamed. Soups are old and gross. Not many salad toppings. Honestly isnt not worth the price anymore. Breakfasts are even worse.

Absolutely disgusting! Nothing was hot at this buffet . Nothing was fresh, the kitchen was so dirty. The servers never pre bussed. My daughter and I saw a live tiny cockroach at the salad bar. Management needs to be on top of all That . I didn’t even complain at restaurant cause honestly what would they even do at this point . Not many people , so I under stand the food just sits there but wouldn’t have this problem if it were busier but to be busy you need better quality and better management . If I want Golden Corral the drive to Harlingen would definitely be worth it. 10xs better there .

Customer service was good when we paid so we thought the experience was going to be good. Unfortunately, the food was not! We usually go to the Harlingen location and stopped going to this location in Brownsville because of tbe bad experience in the past but we decided to give it another try.(Will definitely not be returning.) For the price we paid the food should have been better and the cleanliness around the food should have been kept up with. Bad experience all the way around. Didn't take pics woukd have been too many!

We stopped going about 4 years ago due to various reasons. I saw on Facebook that there is a new owner, so we thought maybe things will finally change for the better, we were so wrong. Stopped in for breakfast this morning 1-3-26. Not many customers at the time we stopped. Not much has changed. The food on the buffet was cold( as it was in the past). Server was notified and she did tell someone but it seems he wasn't bothered by the news as he sat down to eat his breakfast. We didn't make a scene, just got up and left. I know for sure we will never go back. It's such a shame. So much potential but it seems the staff doesn't really give a damn.

The food wasn't replenished very small selection compared to every Golden Corral across America's worlds worst Golden Corral I have ever been to. Bathrooms had poop on the floor. The manager should be ashamed of this establishment. Corporate needs to do an overhaul. With a quickness.

Chelsea Mendez

Spent so much money on crappy food. No variety of food options and mostly all the trays were empty! When asked if they had any more waffles or pancakes they said they ran out of batter. They have to get more out of the managers office to make some. This place used to be great now they are so cheap with their food.

Alejandro Gonzalez

Food was great, but my complaint is that the men's restroom did not have a soap dispenser only hand sanitizer. So much for "Employees must wash their hands before returning to work"... This is gross and an obvious health code violation.

Good evening faithful review checker, I wont go into the painstaking details of the interaction I had with the waitress Nora and kitchen manager Manuel Ortega at the Brownsville, TX location to receive an automated apology later. I would simply like it to be known that when you tip at the front counter at the golden corral, the host will write the word "Tip" and the dollar amount left in pen so the waitstaff can see it from a far. As Manuel agreed this undoubtedly affects the quality of the service received and it has been an issue with this establishment. The gratuity is already printed on the receipt and included in the total amount at the bottom indicating the discrimination is purposeful and with intent. please beware.

My elderly mother paid 140 dollars for the thanksgiving feast and was told she would be getting quart sized containers filled with sides that would feed 6-8. They were not even filled half way. This would barely serve 2-4 much less 6-8. This is ridiculous that they would charge this much for half servings. The fact that an organization this large would take advantage of the elderly to make a profit on thanksgiving is revolting . I will boycott going to the Golden Corral in Brownsville Texas due to their poor poor service.

Used to like eating here but looks like management changed. Carpet looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Haven't seen these many flies in a restaurant. Had to cover my food and drink so they wouldn't take over. There were flies all over the desserts and a roach by the turkey. Had to leave,, couldn't take it anymore.. Hope this is taken care of because I really used to like it before.
