Opinions de Golden Corral Fort Lauderdale
Thank you so much Miko. We went to Golden Corral on Thanksgiving day with our family and She was the best waitress we could have asked for. She was so busy but treated us as if we were the only ones there. She did a fantastic Job with such a positive attitude and beautiful smile. Thanks again for everything.
Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed a variety of food choices. The staff was pleasant and they worked hard to make sure everyone had what they wanted. It was a packed house and it was fast pace to the buffet and back to the table. We never felt like there wasn’t something to be found and the portions were a good size. The fried chicken I had was juicy with a light seasoning nothing over powering. All and all we left full. Not someplace I would eat at every day, but a nice occasional treat.
Nice clean place , lots of parking around and wasn’t noisy. Food and service was good . Free unlimited breadsticks and the salad excellent as usual , can’t go wrong with that .
We were up in the Birmingham area for an MRI at UAB. When we were done the next thing was "where do we want to eat?" There are dozens of good places eat in the Birmingham metro area. Our favorite place closed several years ago. I had a sore throat so I wanted soft, easy to chew food at a reasonable price. We had some partially uses gift cards from Golden Coral. If you can't find something good to eat at Golden Coral you are either too picky or not hungry. I loaded up on mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese other soft things. For dessert I had my mind on some soft-serve vanilla ice cream, but they were out. Jennifer was the cashier. She assured us that we could get credit for our partially used gift cards. Kayla kept us well hydrated with Sprite. Theresa was our Johnny-on-spot server.

My husband and I take a pretty large group (15-20 people) here several times throughout the year. The group really enjoys the wide variety of food...there is something for everyone. They have always been able to accommodate our group. The staff is always friendly, and the service is fantastic.
Food was terrific Best roast tender and juicy
The food was truly awesome and amazing good coffee with my dessert
It was a great experience the food was great n the service was awesome
The food was delicious! I paid less than 20 dollars for all you can eat lunch and a drink! They also have a wide variety so if your family can’t agree on what to eat, just go to Golden Corral and there will be something for everyone.
The cashier that I always have when I come in Was on duty she is Wonderful Lady Beautiful Spirit Always bubbly to everyone always engaging with so much Positive Energy and Always helpful and so Patient and Caring to all her Customers and colleagues she helps everyone and every where always attentive to what ever happens and whatever she is needed Keep her on the Front line She Exceptional Her name is Jennifer J She’s such a Light for your company Please reward her she’s a Shining Star She works at the Golden Corral In Hoover ALABAMA
I wish I could remember our servers name. She was the sweetest. She said she had been working with them for over 20 years. We never came close to running out of drinks, and she removed our plates as soon as we were done. The food was great also. It was my 9 year olds first time being at one and she was in heaven!
We go to Golden Corral a couple of times a week. Jennifer the cashier always greets everyone with a huge smile and such welcoming words. Shes not only the cashier but you always see her cleaning up any and everything. Then we find our favorite servers. Some days we have Jamese whom always greets us with a hug, smile and the cleanest tables in there. She goes the extra mile by spraying the tables with sanitizer and then dries them. On other days we have Tomiko whom is also excellent. It doesn't matter which tables we sit at it's all about where our favorite servers are. The bar gives you so many choices to eat. If anything is empty all you have to do is mention it to the servers and they make sure it's restocked plus they let you know when it gets put up there.
We stopped by to try there breakfast and it was amazing more things to eat for breakfast than I could of imagined
My buddies took me for my birthday and I ate like a king. They had sirloin and big ol fried shrimp on the buffet. The service was great. I left there fat and happy.
This is the first time we've been back to this location in a couple of years. We stopped going because the last time the food wasn't good at all. They have most definitely made improvements with everything at this location. We went the day of the Magic City Classic and only had to wait about 20 minutes even though it was packed. Everything went smoothly. The food was fresh and tasted great! The servers were all friendly, and it was clean. We will definitely become regulars again.
All experiences have been good. Jennifer the cashier, Ms Lottie, Cynthia, Joseph, & Kelly are always very polite and helpful. Linda the manager is always on time. I'm thankful for your service.
Management & staff was amazing! My family came in and celebrated my moms birthday and we was very well pleased 💜. Looking forward to returning back soon. Food was constantly fresh and the atmosphere was great also. Linda (manager) made sure that my family was served and full!
Great quality and selection of food. Super nice staff working hard.
Golden Corral is an awesome place to come and enjoy time with family as you dine in. The food is good and hot and the service is prompt and professional 👌. The manager Roy makes sure this business runs sufficiently. Roy is a very hard worker. I have never seen a manager roll up his sleeves like Roy and work just as hard or harder than his employees. The entire staff is as friendly as can be. If you love delicious food, come to the Golden Corral in Hoover, Al. My grandkids love the food and desserts. The peanut butter cookies will melt in your mouth 😋 😍.
The waiter was awesome. It was Veteran's Day and packed but he was super good and kept up with everyone.
Our Scout Troop stopped here for dinner on our long trip home to Dallas, Texas. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Thanks to Jennifer and Chris our server who was very diligent in keeping our glasses full and tables clean so we could keep our tight schedule. Great stop for a group on the go.
Great time. Lots of food to choose from. It has been years since I've gone to a Golden Corral.
Went there on Thanksgiving. The food was great and the staff were friendly. Very wide selection on the buffet.
I love Golden Corral so much!! They are the one restaurant I could never get enough of. Unfortunately the one in our town closed years ago leaving me heartbroken so anytime I see one while traveling it is a must do. This one was great and we were so happy to have ran across them! The restaurant was very clean. The buffet looked so nice and you could tell they worked hard to keep it stocked and clean at all times. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. I will definitely be back when coming through this area.
One of my many favorites.... stopped by with our Audio Club for lunch and everything was amazing. Service, food, staff we had no issues at all. Recommend!!!
only complaint is wanted to charge for take home of food after you paid for buffet mages little sense but food was great
Golden Corral – 743 Lorna Rd, Hoover, AL Always a wonderful experience here! After church, a friend and I enjoyed a hearty meal. Everything was clean — the restrooms, tables, and buffet area. Our waitress Donna was amazing: attentive, friendly, and made us feel at home. I had fried fish, hush puppies, green beans, and a fresh salad with crisp onions and tangy lemons. Parking is easy with wide spaces and good lighting. We've come many times and always see familiar, kind staff like Patricia and Cynthia. This Golden Corral location is reliable, welcoming, and well-run. Highly recommend to anyone in the Hoover area! — Mark N Tim
Celebrated my dad's 82nd birthday, our server was the BEST, she sang happy birthday and brought him out a cupcake with a candle and made him feel special !
For it to be as busy as it was for mother's Day lunch we did not have to wait too long. and with us having a large party they also did great with finding us somewhere to sit. Everything was good and hot. They kept everything full considering how busy it was.
We had a large group of teenagers .. the host and the management staff were very nice 😊
It's solid. You always know what to expect here. The wait staff are always so attentive and pleasant. Everyone in the family can find something they want, from salad bar, to meat and three, and on to dessert.
Very impressed and pleased with my service here! Visited after their grand reopening, and I was not disappointed! Our waiter was extremely welcoming and polite, and made sure our drinks were filled and other requests fulfilled. Also each item was fresh and hot on the buffet lineup. A very great place for family dinner or get together with friends. I definitely recommend 👌
Great service and good food! We went on Christmas eve for a family meal. Everything was spot on we will be back
My boyfriend and I were among 12 people eating together. The food was absolutely amazing, the service was great! Would definitely recommend to anyone....
Good food... Good Eating... Enjoyable environment. We come here often. Love this place...
First off, let me say this is possibly the best GC we have ever visited. We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, the quality of the food and it was down right delicious. This has become our go to restaurant when we travel to Birmingham. Since our first visit, with friends, we have been back again, and will always remember the great experience we had.
The food was fabulous! We went with a group for lunch and everyone enjoyed it. Our group had roast beef, mac & cheese, fried chicken, fresh strawberries, salad bar, sweet potato casserole, fried okra, hush puppies, yeast bread, fried catfish, carrot cake, ice cream, and more! Servers Teresa and Patricia were great! Fun atmosphere and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.
Wow what a great place! Service was impeccable. Can’t speak higher!
Today’s experience was outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the team was fully on point. Every question and concern I had was addressed with professionalism and care. Linda B's leadership really shows, along with the amazing service from Jennifer and Cassie. The level of attention I received reminded me of the kind of service you see in the commercials for Golden Corral. Even on a busy Sunday, with high volume that would impress anyone in the financial industry, they still made sure my table was handled with care. Excellent job, team.
We had the pleasure of dining here last Sunday for supper, and the place was a mad house, BUT they kept fresh food on the line, and I had the most delicious steak. The real 5-star reason for the meal was our waitress. We were seated in the section next to the desserts. I wish I knew her name. She was elderly with black hair and glasses. She was an absolute delight, kept our table clean & our glasses were brimming. You can tell she is the hardest of workers even under the most demanding of times. She deserves a raise if you're the manager & she deserves a good tip if you're in her section. Thank you.
Best place I have ever eaten. Can’t beat it for the price, service, atmosphere and the FOOD! There is nothing they don’t have and it’s always fresh and full. The employees were all older than 35 and I will definitely go back if I am ever in the area.
I recently visited and overall had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just right — cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxing meal. However, I did notice a small structural issue in the last dining room on the left. The ceiling fan's lights were hanging by wires, which looked a bit concerning. I’m sure it’s something that can be fixed easily, but just wanted to point it out. That said, the true highlight of our visit was Stella. Although she wasn’t our assigned server, she went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of, checking in on us and providing excellent service. It’s rare to encounter someone who takes the initiative like Stella did, and her efforts truly made our experience special. I highly recommend this place — great food, a nice atmosphere, and stellar service (pun intended) from employees like Stella! If you ever come by ask for her she will take care of you!
Wonderful service Great staff and wonderful food and the redhead at the front was very hospitable and kind and courteous and funny thanks Golden corral for a wonderful experience
I ordered the buffet which was exquisite. Golden Coral always satisfies the pallet. Perfect place and food when you don't feel like t cooking🍳. Be prepared to be among alot of people,because they stay crowded. 😋😋😋
Parking was good inside was clean. Approximately $14 per person. Able to find table self-seating the waitress Ajsa was very attentive. She kept my coffee filled and the table cleaned and checked on make sure everything was okay. Food was hot. Salad was crisp. Bathroom was clean.
The food was great. The employees were very helpful and nice. The atmosphere was perfect.
Hands down to not only the AMAZING waitress (Karrie) but to the AMAZING cashier (Jennifer) as well that assisted me & my family of 7 on Monday afternoon, March, 2 2026! We received outstanding service from these ladies! 👏🏻 You guys are awesome & this family appreciates you both!! 🫶🏻 -Best wishes, Brittaney! ♥️

Waitresses were awesome! Cashier not so much! It was our first time. So we had questions about the process. She was no help, took our money, gave us the receipt and looked away! Fortunately a waitress came to our aid and explained how to maneuver the buffet etc!!!
The food is pretty good - their Mac n cheese is excellent. My kids like the variety from salad bar through entrees to dessert. Recently had an excellent server who was friendly and courteous and very helpful. Staff is usually very pleasant. Sunday evenings are usually super crowded with families.
Didn't have all the foods that were named. But the food was decent and it was crowded in there.
I didn't think Golden corral was still in business it was a blast from the past just like I remember it
Amazing selection of food yet dirty floors and way to busy ,if you can overlook that ,have at it,so much food
We had the BEST waitress we've had in a long time. I'm updating this review because it has gotten better! Shout out to Lottie Lawson( not sure of spelling) she's an older lady and was very attentive and funny! I must say she made a dinner great and it was our anniversary. Love the variety of food items, service was perfection. Food was actually fresh and good! Thanks Golden Corral and Lottie for the great dinner! We will be back next year if not before. Plenty of parking. 4 stars because we got the last 2 strawberry lemonade but they were great!
The tables are smaller and if you have a family gathering, there's not much room for each of you to enjoy your meals without bumping into each other. The plates are smaller but at least you can get as much as you want to eat, with the buffet. Our server who introduced herself, only came back one time to fill our drinks. It was busy but maybe they need more help. The food was good and plentiful of different things. The price was excellent for 6 people. It's got its bad things but the good makes up for the differences. When asked to go back for lunch, I will be happy to eat there again.
I had the fry fish but it didn't taste like fry fish it farm raise sometimes. Dont know whose the brand. It was the worst taste whatever it didn't look fish once I broke it open. My worst experience in tasting food.
It was really busy The waitress was great. The food was ok
Was in area at lunch time and decided to try Golden Corral. Haven’t been to one in along time. The experience was okay but not outstanding. The gentleman serving my area was exceptional however. Had a hard time finding appropriate seating for just one person.
The hostess and our waitress were very friendly and attentive, we went kinda late so the food wasn’t all the freshest I ended up only having the salad bar but I was happy with that!
Food was ok some took time to refill by then you were getting full off what you didn't want to eat flavor was ok expecting more from a buffet but got full. Go back later date.
The food was good I had meatloaf and baked potatoes turnip greens,corn,baked beans,green beans and pork chops.Tasty but not overly special.Place is clean and the buffet is kept stocked
The food was generally better on our last visit. Still very limited beverage options. Enjoyed the Belgian waffle but there should be instructions saying if you only cook half to use less time and how much less.
Cost 36$ for 2 people, which is about the average today at any place, funny how it use to be way less for the same exact food. The waitress was good to us and the girl at the front register was good to us as well. The drink we got had hardly any ice, the food was ok but people were using spoons from the sweet potatoes for the greens and just no common courtesy. The staff helped us. If your looking to play your patience card with folks this is the place. The mess some of these customers left for them to clean up was ridiculous. If I was GC id stop people like that from eating at my restaurant.

Lots of people and not much food. They didn't have the mashed potatoes out until we were halfway done, chicken was never added to, dessert bar was minimal.

Food was good. My daughter and I wanted cotton candy and the lady obviously didn't want to deal with it bc she turned the machine on and kept repeating "no bueno". Kinda hard to say something is no good when she looked clueless on how to operate the machine. I honestly think day shift should prep a lot of bags for the day or something.
It’s a buffet with several very decent, dare I say wonderful options. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get and generally speaking, it’s a fine choice for lunch. My most recent visit, however, might end up precluding me from further visits. More often than not, the actual aesthetic and atmosphere of a place shouldn’t really be much of an issue. For this spot, it’s a glaring problem. It’s simply not comfortable. You feel “icky” being there. Plates aren’t clean. Tables aren’t properly bussed. Servers disregard your finished plates. But what’s worse is the clientele. Now I want to be clear when I say I am in no way calling out any person or anyone specific, but the SMELL of this place is beyond deplorable. And it’s not coming from the staff… The stench, on SEVERAL occasions during my most recent lunch visit had me covering my nose and mouth. There were a couple of moments where I quite literally thought I needed to rush to the bathroom to lose what food I had already consumed. The smell was so bad, I had lost any appetite I had previously. Is this the specific fault of the restaurant itself? I want to say NO, but I also can’t elaborate further as to why I’m saying no. But I will say the smell was not coming from the food, nor the employees. Listen, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a buffet style experience. But if you visit this particular one, do what you can to be seated as far away from other guests as you can. Unfortunately, it’s usually extremely busy. So this will turn out to be quite a challenge.
Need work that's all I'm going to say but whoever made the sweet potato pie good job 👏
I actually love Buffets, and I go to this one on occasion, but the food like any Golden Corral is mediocre. I do like that I can get steak and it's decent. But most of the food tastes like it's precooked and overly salty. But for all you can eat, it's somewhat expected, quality wise. The servers are always kind and working hard to please.
The restaurant was spotless, the waitress was very kind and observant and the buffet was stocked and fresh. The only reason I am giving them a 3 is because, I assume, the manager which was a tall, older gentleman, was belittling an employee behind the fruit bar. His ranting went on for 5 minutes. I was not the only customer to be bothered by his actions. No one deserves to be spoken to the way he was speaking to this employee. Nobody wants to pay $40 to eat and have their experience ruined by a manager belittling an employee. Distasteful!
Lots to choose from,I had the salad bar, soup and dessert. The salad wasn't anything special. The chicken soup was very good. I tried the carrot cake,it was ok. The cashiers were pleasant and staff that I encountered were very helpful. Kind of noisy however.
The only location near me is you average buffet with American food with a touch of Mexican items. The server workers are nice and professional. I didn't care for much of the dinner items. Honestly, I prefer breakfast and lunch, but I'll still come back

The food was overcooked & several times I had to get up to go to where I saw the servers coming & going from to ask for assistance. Although the server didn't come to check on us much & didn't clear the table as we put the empty dishes on the edge of the table, when he did show up--he was friendly.

Dirty plates, pie undercooked, all 5 of us got sick within 4-6 hours after eating there. Staff was friendly.
Well I took my girlfriend here for a date and let me tell you just how embarrassing it was. The only meat avaliable was fried chicken. I was not impressed at all. Honestly not worth $36 for two people to eat. For driving over an hour to get here was a waist of time and money. I will never eat there again and I will tell others not to eat there.
The food was very picked over and the buffet was not clean. Fried chicken was undercooked, and the grill guy gave you steak at what ever temp he wanted not what you asked for. The server was short and not friendly. I've been to better locations.

Hot Food was cold, bar not replenished, cantaloupe not trimmed (green), no chicken wings at bar, just a very substandard Golden Corral!\n\nChoose wisely!
Warning, stay away!!! One of the worst Golden Corral I have ever eaten at! The food was horrible, and if you ask for a steak the you want, the guy give it to you the he wants you to have it. The ba…
Went in to get breakfast to go. It was awful! Biscuits stale, muffins dry, hashbrowns too greasy, and the gravy watery. The cashiers were sooo nice and helpful, but I just wasted 20 bucks. Maybe they're just not good at breakfast food, but super disappointed and STILL hungry. Even got some broccoli because my 3 year old loves it...that was bland too, the cheese sauce couldn't even make it taste good.
The waitress show up to our table 2 times for a family of 6. Left us with nothing to drink and the table full of dirty plates. First time in Alabama and never went to Golden Corral worst that this one in the whole nation. Sorry I try to don’t bad reviews but it was really bad.

Dirty and awful service. We were put in a seating area as far from the buffet as possible because they were expecting a large group in 45 minutes. The carpet was covered in food
Dirty silverware, dirty plates, steak had a bad taste like the meat was old , tomatoes were bad. Service was good though. Won't be going back.
Food was not good at all especially for the price. The jello had gnats in it, there were no diverse food options and the drinks are $3 just for them to be watered down or have random particles in them.
We arrived before 4pm. They delay taking payment just so they could charge us more. Someone is apparently gaming the system They didn't bother to wash the plates before putting it out for customers to use. They had both drawers being counted. The cashier was being yelled at. There was hair in Lauren's mashed potatoes. At the end I was at the register and I verbally tell Lauren I'm paying, if they are going to delay taking our payment just to charge more.... That manager, who didn't seem to know the register, just ignored the comment. You had a chance to fix the situation, and choose not to... That is why this time, you get 1 star. Have a nice day and thank you for choosing Golden Corral.
We came 30 minutes before closing time but were not permitted to make a selection from the menu. A staff member said, “Sorry, they shut the grills down about 5 minutes ago.” There was no option of ordering something that was made 5 minutes before the grills had shut down. No notice online that the last order time was 45 minutes before their posted closing time. No sign at the location either. I don’t think we will go back.
This was the first time I've ever taken my daughter to a golden corral and we were excited because I always remember them being a great time. This was not it. The food was all over the place, I don't know if they did not have enough staff to replace food but the selection was lacking and the remnants of food were smeared all over the food bar and caked into the floor. There were no bowls for the soups. There was no ice cream and the cakes were in the same condition as the other foods. No one came to clear our plates or give us refills on our drinks until we got up to get dessert and they took away everything. I had to find someone and tell them that we were not finished and that we wanted our drinks and they brought us new drinks but they weren't what we asked for. Overall gross experience with the atmosphere and food, no experience with service because we didn't receive any. I wouldn't visit this location again. This was my second time here and the first time sucked too.
The food was terrible. All the way down to the nachos. I'm heading to McDonald's just to eat all because the food was disgusting. You better off cooking at home.
Date of Visit: July 16th I’m beyond disgusted. I came to Golden Corral hoping to relive a good memory from when I was 13 — now I’m 27 and completely pissed off. The food was horrible. Dry, withered meat. Grits that were literally just water — like nobody even tried to stir them. The salad bar? Swarming with flies. Tables were sticky and dirty, like nobody cleaned anything all day. Plates and utensils looked used, and don’t even get me started on those nasty cups. It felt like eating in a health hazard zone. I asked to speak to a manager — nobody showed up. Not a single person seemed to care. Me and my husband tried to enjoy ourselves, but we were too busy dodging bacteria and side-eyeing every bite. People spend their hard-earned money here expecting a decent meal, not a stomach ache and disappointment. Clean your kitchen. Clean your staff. Clean your standards. If your team can’t maintain basic sanitation, they need to be replaced. I will be contacting the health department and I highly suggest others do the same. This isn’t just “bad service” it’s straight up neglect. Thanks ,a highly disappointed customer
Absolutely horrible, cashier was rude and couldn't even lift her head off her hand, she needed a nap I believe. Bathrooms had more pee on the floors than in the toilet. Toilet paper roll was on coat hook in bathroom. Sanitation station was completely empty. No hand sanitizer anywhere, I tried several different ones. No one working there wore a mask, not even around the food. In general, the restaurant was really dirty for charging $14.99 a person not including drinks. Will never go back. Only reason we went there was because it was my son's favorite place to go to, Until today. It was his birthday. Big disappointment 😞.
Went in today with 3 people and Golden Corral couldn’t pull it off had servers everywhere but no tables were cleaned off with no place to sit then didn’t want us to leave and had an attitude the whole time will not be back
Air conditioning was awful. Made it hard to eat comfortably. Flies were everywhere and the double dumpsters outside were over flowing and the stinch was sorta making it inside. Only bright spot was the kind 76 yr old Asian lady that was our server. We dined at the Hoover restaurant
A real review Its a smaller GC. They greet you up front. No trays anymore. The bar was unkept and needed alot of cleaning. The food was the worst GC food I've ever had. We struggled finding decent food to eat. The bar looking nasty made it worst. I guess the community is just glad the option is there. I definitely wouldn't go back. John the waiter was excellent with a smile.
It is Saturday for lunch steaks everybody are complaining about how dry they are. The guy cannot speak. English behind the cook. Stand told the manager about it. She said he would cook whatever I wanted, but everybody is complaining about the steaks and the food being dry. She says it's their best cook I told the manager that he's losing the money because all these uncooked steaks they're having to throw away are the employees are taking them home she went tell the other manager, and then the main manager came up and told me don't worry about it. The steaks are just fine.
If I could give this 0 stars I would. Everything was cold and old. No new food put out the entire time we were there. Even if there would have been, it wouldn’t have helped the frankly disgusting taste it all had. All four members of my party left simultaneously hungry and nauseous with $25 less to our names, wondering if this was a fever dream or true reality.
Well apparently they close earlier than 8pm because I got here at 7:40pm and they were closed and the buffet was all broke down so they should say they close at 7:30 to clean up & break down thier buffet. I didn't intentionally get here at this time Im a truck driver & wanted some good food and have been to countless Golden Corals that say they serve anyone up until they close. So now that I went off my route I'll try to find another place to have my late dinner. Disappointing for sure.

The lady making the drinks as you walked in was very rude and had horrible customer service skills. The dishwasher was broken, there was no syrup for the pancakes, the grits were scorched, they stopped putting out fresh breakfast food 45 mins before breakfast was over. I could go on and on. This place had really changed for the worse. The workers on the food area also had a difficult time comprehending. We had a group of 10 people and one was satisfied. I regret taking our group here for breakfast.
