Had an awesome experience being our first time , the only downside is that adults won’t get a free refill on drinks , Idk why when all buffets Ive been have free refills for everyone. They had an amazing selection of foods from Mexican,Italian,Southern and American food , also had the best steak Ive had in a while perfectly cooked to my desire . Will go back for their crazy Fried Chicken and Fish and ships aswell , they have a great dessert selection aswell my kids enjoyed everything they had to offer for their likes , next time Ill take pictures.

A great place with a variety of food options at each stretch of the buffet! The food was fresh, hot and/or cold, depending on the food section. The waitress was wonderful and always checked on our table, refilled our drinks, removed plates/bowls, gave more napkins, and told us when new food was coming out. It was a nice place!

It seems there are so many good items to choose from. All kinds of meats, entree's, drinks, 🥗 salads and dessert. Our host was awesome catering to our every need , keeping our drinks supplied, asking if we needing anything, making sure we were taken care of. Nice decor upon entering and very close to other businesses. Thank you so much for great 👍🙋 service.

I purchased a online order t today which is 8/26/25 at 6:50 pm. the food literally was tasty me and my family enjoy it everything we received was fresh nothing old or cold I didn’t get to get his name but the Latino manager was very nice and respectful there was small wait due to the restaurant being packed but other than that I don’t have any complaints will be ordering online in the future for sure

The main cook went above and beyond when a particular item was gone. He suggested a comparable option as what I was looking for and gave me an honest time factor for waiting. Daniel was superior with his communication and true heart towards his job! Definitely a great location to try!

Shocked, was not expecting the attentive service and quality food after reading other reviews. In fact food was really good with many choices and well prepared. Definitely would return.

Went here for lunch today and everything was really good. Clean, comfortable restaurant, friendly service from the entire staff. Food was delicious, something for everyone at Golden Corral. I had an interesting mix of food, all was good but really enjoyed the salad bar and breakfast items. Staff worked hard at their stations making sure food was fresh & ready and the various food stations were clean and inviting to customers. Would definitely go here again if in the area. Thanks GC:)

Food is good. Service was above average. Everything was clean. Nothing to complain about really. Lots of fruit vegetables and desert options. Tried the kielbasa it was freshly grilled. Chocolate fountain was great.

My mother and I came all the way to Rochester to this location from Buffalo, NY just for Mothers Day and boy was it worth the 45 minute wait in that line. The food was fine and the customer service was fast and easy even though the place was packed. Keep up the good work everyone.

I've been to this Golden Corral location throughout the years and the food quality has been on and off overtime, this time I went it was actually pretty good! Everything had great flavor and was appetizing! When I go I usually get the barbecue chicken, meatloaf an pulled pork and it's always good! The buttery rolls also you can never go wrong with! The desserts are good as well! The ice-cream machine is always filled and the cotton candy is honestly the best part! As far as I would rate my visit it would be a 9.5/10! Very well! Will definitely be returning sometime soon!

Was wanting a plate of veggies, some "down-home" feel good food. Some of the reviews had us cautious, but since it was what I wanted, we risked it. So glad we did! Was decent, but maybe a bit pricey (but then I'm used to KY prices, not NY) We're stuffed!

There wasn't anyone there to ring us in for the meals, I stood and waited to be approached for a couple minutes. The cashier that came up was, slightly annoyed (dont think that had to do with us). But over all pleasant enough. The meal was good as there was plenty to choose from. Desserts were ok, cakes were a bit dense where other locations have been lighter, taste was decent though. Melon and honeydew were frozen in the bowls, when I tried to get some I hit ice. I would return here because it was a decent outing with my Dad.

Smells like steak from the parking lot! Yummy! We had a wonderful time and a very filling dinner. We enjoyed our time and the service was very good. Visiting these restaurants around the U.S has been amusing. Always feels a little like coming home.

I will say this... the staff was wonderful! And our waiter was the best I've had I n a long time, it was nice to see a Yong man with such work ethic! That being said.... the food is ok... not as good as it looks on the commercials.... I would go back tho for the convenience...

The food was surprisingly good. Been there three other times before covid and the food wasn't that good. The quality seem to have improved .The interior definitely needs to be remodeled but for the costs of $13 for lunch which includes drink is an excellent deal.

I don't understand all the negative reviews of this Golden Corral, unless it is all about timing; the day of the week and the time of day. We went on a Monday at 4:30 PM. No lines out the door. No line at all. The restaurant was not crowded, and it was still not crowded, and there were no lines, when we left after 5:30. The food was good, the staff was pleasant and efficient, and the cashier, who may have actually been a manager, was friendly, cheerful, and had an infectious smile. Was the food 5-star quality? No, but it was very good, and a bargain considering the extensive variety and more-than-reasonable price. Yes, we had to wait a couple of times for different items to be replenished, but that's to be expected at any buffet with popular items. We were very satisfied with the whole experience, and we'll go again. Not too often, though, just because it's so good and there are so many choices that I over-eat. I'd be a blimp if I went too often.

Oh my gosh. I am so full. I’m going to roll my way out of here. I don’t think I can move. These are all quotes I heard while filling myself full at the Golden Corral. The waitress had been there forever was friendly, friendly, talkative, and helpful. They did not have sesame chicken as kid wanted or dumplings. Go to a Chinese place for those. Kid enjoyed. I need a nap.

J
Javier Gonzalez

This was actually my first time eating here and I have to say the food, and selection was pretty good. I was not disappointed.i tried a little bit of everything and there was not anything that would make me say I won't eat that again. I will definitely be back in the near future.the only thing that annoyed me was that the table I sat at the lamps are so low I hit my head twice getting up, now I see why the bulb is out lol. Maybe raise the lamps by like 2 feet and it should be safe.

Geno Jessmone

It nice that they play music at this restaurant so you don't have to think about how much you just spent to eat lunch or dinner. The staff is good at keeping the table clean as well as the floors.

5 stars to Gail (I believe that's her name)! We went Saturday night because my girlfriends love the fried chicken and I love the salad bar but they only had ONE server because the others were cut. Please don't do that to your staff, wait until at least half way through a dinner rush. There was only one lady at the front cashing people out and Gail working tables. We tried helping her clear dishes but she had one full side and some people pouring over into the other side. When that happens please have the dessert handlers help her, that was pretty irritating to watch the kid clean the same table as he watched her buss tables and refill drinks. She did amazing. Food refills were super slow but we assumed they cut people in the back as well.

Ms.Bessie is the best part of our visit to this Golden Corral. Halfway through our eight hour car ride we had to stop and get a bite to eat. My husband usually loves Golden Corral in our part of NY but not so much this time ,as they didn’t have his favorite bourbon chicken. But the chef made him a fresh batch upon request which we found impressive. This location definitely caters food options for a specific demographic with a few of the staple options. I was in heaven as they do not offer liver and onions or any greens at the location nearest to us. The music was on point I did not feel it was to loud as I could clearly hear the music and the people at each end of our table, lots of feel good throwbacks and old school funk very uplifting to the mood. The place was clean, and our waitress Bessie was the sweetest and catered to our every need as well as all her other tables. If ever out this way we will be sure to visit again.

The food that was available was very good but a lot of trays were empty and not being restocked very fast if at all. The person I took really was looking fwd to cake and ice-cream for dessert but the twist only had vanilla and it was almost empty. The chocolate side was completely empty and the hot fudge was completely empty as well. The desserts we were able to have were very good. We drove up from Buffalo as we still do not have a Golden Corral here despite being told that they were going to take over our empty Red Lobster buildings grrrr lol. At least it was a beautiful drive there and back with all the fall colors in full force. There wasn't really anyone paying attention to our table so our dirty dishes sat for quite awhile making it a bit tough to maneuver our other plates. I'm sure we will go again but definitely hoping to come for the breakfast buffet.

Canadian review - As of Oct/2018 price was about $22 CAD per person including tax, excluding tips and drink since we just got water. Food is comparable to your Tuckers Marketplace buffet. This would be a little pricey for the type of food you get to eat. If you add another $4 you get to eat ACYE Sushi which in opinion is much better with lot more options. This place has your typical salad bar, roast beef, pizza, dinner rolls, clam chowder soup, not so decent selection of desserts that have been left air drying for some time. 2 ice cream selections of mint chocolate and maple pecan. Over all... it's worth to try once. Maybe I will give breakfast or lunch a try but no more dinners here.

It wasn’t too crowded it took 10 mins to get to our seats the three workers I did come in to contact with was very friendly we had to move to a different table because between our table and the table behind us it was a vacuum cleaner and it made it difficult to pull the chair out so we moved then the second table we moved to was extremely sticky the table behind us was dirty from the guest that was there before we got there and it took almost 20 mins before a worker came to clean the table off it’s no telling how long the table was like that I take it the blinds on the windows was being replaced because it was maybe 2-4 sets of blinds sitting on the floor as far as the food it was okay definitely could’ve been better the food variety should’ve been better it wasn’t too much to choose from and because of that it wasn’t difficult to really choose what I wanted and enjoy it they really can do soooo much better the Golden Corral in Erie PA was extremely better than this one

German Lobaton

It’s pretty standard buffet style food. A good place to go if you want to overindulge on a budget. The commercials definitely hype the place up and make it more than what it really is. If you’ve never seen the commercial, you won’t be disappointed; if you have, well … you should decide for yourself if it’s all that the commercial portrays.

Food was okay. Went in 15 minutes after they opened. Only some things were out. Bacon, gravy, etc didn't come out until about 830. Not terrible, not great

Our family used to love this place pre- covid! We could all go to a nice place and we all could find "something" we liked. For starters, there was barely any food out, everything was pretty well empty, and not getting refilled. The price was definitely much more then it used to be. The cucombers in the salad bar were frozen. Alot of items were NOT labeled at all! The bathrooms were dirty and stunk! Absolutely NO paper towels to dry your hands ( no air dryer either). My kids always loved going for the chocolate fountain desserts, they were very disappointed that there is no longer a chocolate fountain.

We have been to many Golden Corrals over the USA. This was by far the worst experience. Most of the stations had just scraps left. The dessert section had all empty plates and a few things that looked like slop. Another couple asked to speak eith the manager. Once they came they said how disappointed they were after paying $60 for dinner and there being no desserts!. The manager didn't care and turned around and just left. They were not impressed. Perhaps they were having a rough evening, who knows. But it was definitely a very disappointing meal at what usually is our family's favorite US buffet. On a positive note the wait staff and cashier were nice

P
Pawel Kaszuba

Though most of the food is acceptable and there were some highlights like the fried chicken and fish the steaks were thin and overcooked. I ordered twice a rare and it turned out to be shoe leather. The only thing I would eat there is the chicken, fish and exceptional carrot cake. It cost $53 with one drink and a water on Valentines Day 2024.

The food wasn't at the proper temperature, and the labels were either incorrect or missing. I also wasn't a fan of the layout of the restaurant. It felt congested. I was surprised, because I have also been to the Golden Corral near Syracuse, which is excellent. My advice would be to avoid this Golden Corral.

Connor Dickman

I’m convinced Golden Corral isn’t a real restaurant but an elaborate simulation designed to test human endurance. The moment I walked in, I felt like I’d clipped into a side quest called “Buffet of Eternal Regret.” The customers move in slow, pre-programmed loops between the chocolate fountain and the mashed potatoes like NPCs with only three dialogue options: “Is this fresh?”, “Where are the rolls?”, and heavy breathing. The steak guy stared into the void while mechanically flipping mystery meat as if waiting for his next software update. The mac and cheese had the texture of a downloadable content pack. Even the broken ice cream machine looked like it was running on Windows 98. I tried to leave, but I’m pretty sure the exit just respawns you near the soft-serve machine. 2 stars because at least the NPCs were friendly

There wasn't the usual choices of foods. There was more vegetables than anything else. The desserts were horible, the chocolate cake was extremely dry. It just wasn't like it use to be and the parking lot with the lack of cars was even more proof.

Yagna Theja Daggupati

Hmm! Probably not worth it. This was my first visit here. I have mixed feelings. Most of my feelings weighed more on the cons of this place. 1) Really!! We have to pay $4 for 16Oz soda? The max I paid was $2.50 for a soda in the other restaurants. I suggest you to take your own soda can where we can get 4 soda cans for $4. 2) Apparently we need to find our own table where most of the tables are left uncleaned and ended up sitting on a half cleaned table. 3) Plates and spoons: Every plate is having those yellow lines on them. It really feels uncomfortable to keep food on those plates. We better wash the spoons and fork they give seems like half washed. 4) Tacos, pasta and salads are good. But mac and cheese no!! Tortilla chips which are meant to be hard, they are soft like tortilla. Chicken is half cooked. Several selection of desserts, maybe one or two are good.

I am a very regular type regular. Sunday made me feel like I've got to find another Sunday lunch place. I asked if the heat was broke, I was told no. I DO NOT go into a restaurant and pay money to be tortured. It was freezing with more freezing air coming right down on your head. I saw even people behind the grill bundled up. INSANE! And usually they have really good music playing to the point that I look like a bobble head while eating singing to it. This Sunday.....What the hell was that crap? Sappy "I want to get in your pants" songs? You got to be joking? One after the other the whole time. I thought, do people actually listen to this dribble ON PURPOSE? Whatever station they were playing came with commercials. Never thought I'd be grateful to hear commercials! Listen, if you are trying to save money, this is not the way to be doing it because you will lose your customers.

Scott Pugh

picked the worse time to visit. the swap over between brunch and lunch/dinner for was a bad idea. it seemed like the lunch stuff that was out was leftover from yesterday or not ready yet. I wish they would have left the breakfast stuff on the line until it reads replaced by fresh items for lunch.

This has to be the worst golden coral ever. Messy, lack of food options bins are empty. Can't even make a salad no lettace but plenty of carrots. Everything seems to be made in small batches like the steak and fried chicken and shrimp and is gone almost immediately. Do not recommend. Goto erie pa instead much better everything!

When I approach the register. Im sorry I bothered the woman working the register. Im truly sorry you had to put your phone down to work . $28.00 for a buffet and a drink for one person .Next on to the buffet. No mash potatoes. Made to order steak . 15 minute wait time understandable. Chicken soup was lukewarm. Breaded shrimp lukewarm. Turkey meat in gravy was excellent. Cabbage was very good . Okra was cold and the dessert area .YIKES the pies looked like they were stomped on . No Breaded pudding. Dish was empty and woman behind counter ignore me when ask if I could get more . Been two years since last visit. And probably won't go back .

As always this is just my opinion. I would not recommend this Golden Corral for breakfast. When we pulled up there was only 3 cars in the parking lot. I thought they were closed. I almost wish they were. The bacon was cold and burnt. The pancakes were over done and same with the toast. I asked the lady making the eggs if there was any bacon that was not black. She shrugged her shoulders and threw her arms up in the air. She did get some , but that pan was almost the same as what was out there. When we where there it was Sunday when the go from breakfast right to dinner at 11am. We did try some of the dinner food. Seemed to be a little better. We arrived around 10am. The music was to loud. Should be in the background not to feel like your in an 80s club. So in conclusion I would not go for breakfast. I would try dinner though.

The noise coming from the speakers, I guess they call it music, was loud and obnoxious. Food still fairly good, though the roast beef was overcooked here. Restaurant has deteriorated. Dirty inside. Bathrooms dirty. Carpet trip hazards. See pictures. Carpet filthy. See pictures. Arrived at 11:05 a.m. shortly after they open and dirty tables everywhere. No salad bowls. The noise, that I guess they call music, was loud and obnoxious. I guess some people like the nightclub experience. I like to bring my family to enjoy a relaxing meal, not to be uptight and tense with noise like that. Glad they didn't come with me this time. Only left a $4 tip for my $17 meal. Left the tip because I felt sorry for the slovin looking waitress. Would have left more, but I was less than impressed with the restaurant. Don't go here if you want a calm relaxing dining experience that is clean and friendly. Try the Syracuse New York Golden corral.

Food was ok but the place really needs a good cleaning. Windows dirty and blinds need to come down. Tables need fixing or replaced and carpet is terrible. I think if they made some improvements they might have more business. Bushes outside need attention. I would think if a doctor owns it it should be in better condition

Came here at 4pm, specifically for steaks. They did not have any for HOURS and by then im already full. So you get charged dinner price, but you only get the leftovers for lunch. Fresh food came out around 5:30 and was told “15 more minutes for steaks theyre marinating” Empty grills, empty everything, the cake i had to spit out because i could tell it was sitting out for hours and became that nasty dry crumbly stale feeling. What a joke to be charging people dinner and then “marinating” steaks so you cant serve them. Ridiculous. If they don’t make things right im going to ask my bank for a chargeback. Oh and service was mediocre, checked up on us maybe once and i had to get my own drink. She would just slide/throw the drink onto the table. Terrible birthday dinner. BTW ONE dinner & two drinks came out to $28.70 So be prepared to spend almost $30 a person but pay for leftover lunch food. :)

The dinner selection was awful. Don’t come one hour before closing because they won’t restock the majority of what they have, including your fountain drink not having syrup just carbonated water, or no desserts left…

It's absolutely filthy. I pray the health dept makes an appearance here soon. Walls floors, tables, blinds just covered in filth from food to dirt. I was shocked when we walked inside. You don't see the dirtiness when you "pay first" but you definitely see it all once you reach table areas. The carpets looked like they have not seen a carpe shampoo in years.

Came here for a $9.99 breakfast buffet. I know this isn’t a very good restaurant but I figured how bad can a breakfast buffet really be? Turns out…. Pretty bad! That was a poor way to spend $10! Would avoid this!!

I am extremely disappointed with this Golden Corral location. It started when I walked in the door. Two of my children who are 12 were charged as adults. There wasn’t really any food out we had to ask one of the ladies (who was very kind) where the food was after that more food came out. My son was getting ice cream first he was told there was ice cream then told there wasn’t but that there was slushees we went to get a slushy and it was nothing but watered down kool aid we were also getting our own drinks as some of the waiters and waitresses were in there own world and then to top it off before we left I went to use the rest room and there was steak or some kind of meat on a plate on the floor next to the toilet. For the $130 I spent it was not worth it at all.

Food looked great but was cold as ice soon as I sat done to eat..ham was to soft bourbon chicken to salty cornbread not sweet pot roast and potatoes a pan full of fat potatoes cold and hard liver over cooked and dry..pink lemonade liquid diabetes tooooo sweet..manager refunded my money

S

I was going through the comments and yes this place it going down the Toilet.. customer service is crap, employees can not even confirm a party room for you without 10 calls back and forth.. To a point they do not even answer phone calls at All.

I have been to many Golden Corral's throughout the United States, and this is by far the most disgusting one I've ever been to. Raw chicken wings, "steak," that was 60% fat, Icee, that was just Icee juice, many items emptied and not refilled on the line, multiple items that had sat out way to long, breaded fish was soggy, breaded shrimp, undercooked. I could go on!!! I'm surprised people don't get food poisoning. Wasted $80, and will never return. NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. RUN AWAY, RUN FAR AWAY, to the nearest fast food restaurant, they have far better quality food than this place!! The only good thing there is Bessie, she goes above and beyond.

R
Ron H

The selection here is poor. Nothing like you see on the tv. I was here at 6pm and there were quite a few people, but a lot of the dishes in the buffet were dried out and looked like they had been sitting there since lunch. The desert area was like 75% just empty trays sitting there. I wouldn’t come to this one again!

Screw this place. Nobody can pick up the phones. Probably cuz they're sitting on their cellphones most of the time. Website is trash. Doesn't explain anything on the website. This is crazy.

I've ben to Golden Corral's across the US.. but this place is by far the worst dining experience of my life. RED FLAG. ..The sanitary conditions are deplorable. Oozing freezers. Dirty equipment and filthy tables and blinds. RED FLAG..Health hazard conditions that had a guy dragging a dirty rag right beside food. Behind the counter was filthy and disorganized. RED FLAG.. The food was mind boggling. Sitting food that I never touched. Frozen in the middle steak. Tasted off and spit it out. Luke warm chicken. Oily grizel pork. Burned Dry corn bread. RED FLAG.. Front of the buffet was dripping some sort of red oil onto the floor. Decorate is filthy. Carpets have caked on grime tables scratched up. Blinds had a smelly film of oily dirt.. When I took these pictures the guy behind the counter started to hover around me. Wouldn't leave me alone. PLEASE SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!

Lynnette Blanco

Where do I start? We don’t have a Golden Corral where we live & my husband remembers them from his old Florida days, so we stopped when we happened to be in town for something else. We should have ran for the hills when we saw how rundown it was…all the stains & debris outside. It was filthy inside & out. We paid $40 at 11:30AM for lunch & we waited for a half an hour & they still didn’t bring out lunch item ms which was supposed to be out at 11. My hubby had 2 pieces of chicken & that was it. We got tired of waiting & left. The employees were just talking amongst themselves & not getting out the food. From start to finish our experience was TRAGIC!

A
Angie Maneiro

This is the worst time I came here normally everything's really good and tasty barely any food out for us to eat there was no desserts out definitely not worth the $20 I paid servers where rude not coming back again normally normally really good not sure what happened

S
Shelby Brennan

This is the worst golden corral I have ever been too. I went to wash my hands before eating and the bathroom was gross. The floor was covered in water. The sink was leaking and had been for awhile. I told the manager and they seemed to care less. Food was cold Or soaking in grease I couldn't even hardly eat. 14 dollars for me and my fiance for lunch and I would of rather went to wendys. This place needs better people running it or to be shut down completely.

P
Patience Burnett

This is the worst experience forgot to give me straw no food or dessert rude staff normally best place to go they really disappointed me if I could give 0 stars I would not worth the money 😠

B
Brian Dungey

From the minute we walked in the lady running the cash register was very rude to us, she didn't explain that drinks are before you pay, it appeared to be for the to go people, and don't ask for a refill, it will never come, the only good thing I can say for them is the busser was great about clearing used plates. I'll. Stick to the one in syracuse, this just happened to be on the way home from niagara falls.

W
William Glidden

Like a homeless shelter that ran out of bad food . Service standing around pitching about tips one or 2 working . No one at register when I showed up . Close the doors

J
John McBride

Disappointed. No food labels to figure out what we’re eating or if they contain allergens. Food containers were half empty at best. Never seen a golden corral location like this before.

T
Tabetha Besanceney

Now who doesn’t love a good buffet? My family and I haven’t been there in 10 years and wanted something different. They bill for three people the damage was $70 which is a little high. But the plates were all dirty and discussing. There was trash and dirt all over the floor. Placed looked to be never cleaned. As for the food nothing on the floor looked good or appetizing even the vegetables. The only thing was good was the meat. But that was the last time we would go there and felt like a waste of money.

E
Erika Bischoff

Worst place to eat. Went for dinner and there soda machine was out of service. No one told you when waiting in line. No ice, Only serving lemonade in non clean containers!!! Staff was rude and sloppy!!! Serving Dishes were dirty.. over all disgusting!!! Had to ask for my full refund before I even sat down!!

B
Bobby Seymour

Unfortunately, the food quality has gone down significantly at this location since the pandemic. Most food options had obviously been out all day. Runny mashed potatoes, over cooked spaghetti noodles, items that could not be identified. The server was extremely friendly. Hopefully they can turn things around as it’s the closest location to Buffalo and a favorite of my son.

J
Jon Hoefler

I suggest not going it was dirty and run down. Food was ok. Our waitress was really nice other than that it was not worth the time or money. I will not be going back to this location. The bathrooms were also disgusting

S
Sande Smith

If I could give this a score from 1 to 10, it would be −2. We came during lunch hour and most of the food was almost to the empty point and much of it was totally empty. I had difficulty even coming up with anything good enough to fill one plateful. The food tasted bland, and I never will come to this location again. I don't know what a regular senior price would be, but I was informed it went up on the weekend. That was highway robbery at it's worst. Shame on you, Golden Corral!

B
Brecken Capone

Very dirty and dishes are not sanitary and the cooking people were rude and over priced for the taste. Me and my boyfriend and his brother all felt sick after we ate and the lack of cleanliness made us all uncomfortable and wanting to leave but we payed so much we didn’t wanna waste money. Very disappointed

J
John Wales

I thought that I would give them another chance. So here I am on August 14. The place is really crowded which is good for the ownership however there is no food. I just waited 30 minutes for a piece of sausage. I’ve been waiting over an hour for fried chicken and I’ve given up hope. So far there’s been half a spoonful of mac & cheese and some bourbon beef. How in the hell is the franchise letting this location stay open? Complained to the franchisors with no response. Don't buy into or invest in this franchise.

T
Taeya Sherman

Just moved here from out of state, so husband and I are obviously tired with 5 kids and thought hey! We recognize the name from back home so we will stop here. First of all, the price is beyond insane, almost 1.5x more than it is from our home state, restaurant is just plain nasty. Went to take my daughter to the bathroom and begged my 5 y/o to just hold it for mommy. The food, I won't even get into that but please do know the next day my stomach hurt and I was vomiting for two days! Ya'll really need to send the health department in here for an inspection ASAP! The reviews are NOT lying!

J
Jathniel Morales (Jath)

This is by far the worst dining experience i have ever had in my 16 years on this earth. I will never be coming back. The music couldent drown out the noise of my bank account crying. I came here because i was told they had pizza and it said it on the sign but i saw no pizza here. The only good thing about this experience is maria and the free refills. Maria was a very nice waiter and that was about the only good thing they had here. Terrible restaurant would not recommend unless you wanna be disappointed and want your gf to dump you.

DISAPPOINTMENT!!! We were all looking forward to eat at this Golden Corral since the one in Syracuse closed down. We went to Niagara Falls and figured to stop at this location coming home. We were there just before 6pm and hardly any food on the buffet. The buffet is $17 and nothing to eat besides fill up on salad, mashed potatoes and corn. I waited for over 25 minutes for the fried chicken until it showed up. There’s no rolls, no cotton candy, no baked potatoes. At least 1/3 of the options were empty. The rest of the buffet, it’s been a leftover. One dish looked like it sat there for hours and nobody touched it. Don’t you think they should cook more food when it’s dinner rush? Not at this Golden Corral. Only positive experience was the waitress named Sarah. She’s super nice and attentive.

Finally, a place where the smog is thicker than the gravy and the food is a tribute to disappointment. It’s the perfect spot if you’ve always wanted to enjoy a culinary disaster inside a chimney.

L
Lashawn Cason

Where to start ? The food was extremely cold and looked as if it had been sitting out for the better part of the day. They had little to no variety for the children. The salad bar was mediocre at best. I could go on but I'll just end it with the fact that one of the workers was actually cleaning the duck vents above the food while it was sitting out. If they don't get new management soon that place will be closed down in no time. 9-29-25 Very disappointed and will never return

Tim Chowaniec

This was the worst place I have ever eaten at . It was dinner time and the food was gone, burnt or you didn't have a clue what it was . I'm hate hate myself for bringing my family here.. we came 1.5 hours from Buffalo to eat here... Disgusting gross and sickening and I spent 125 for 2 adults and 4 kids

P
Priscilla Ortiz

Went here today was so disappointed. I used to go all the time like 4 years ago. When I went in to this establishment, it went downhill so bad it’s dirty. The food isn’t good and the waitress had told us if we needed a certain thing. Let her know because the health department has been there and that’s all she pretty much said about that but I can definitely see why the health department was there. They need to go back honestly this place needs to be closed.

J
James Manno

This place should be shut down! Said a 4min wait for my order. Nobody here and it took 47min????? With attitude from the front person! Do better people!

K
Keegan Drake

Horrible food lots of dry and overcooked food as well soggy French fries, anything with good potential was just covered in salt as well. The ice cream machine instead of being soft serve would push out yellow vanilla and this ice cream could stand straight up. Not to mention everything was out of order ripped chairs

J
Jaden Winters

Has definitely gone down hill There was mold growing on the holder for the ketchup and salt and pepper packets Food was cold not fully cooked or overly cooked Floors and table looked like they were not cleaned. Prices have gone up a lot $4 for a drink? $36 for two people. Only one server. Don’t recommend at all someone is going to end up getting food poisoning. There was stained food on multiple plates.

E
Emily Bolleman

Do not eat here! This place deserves 0 stars. We came here to celebrate our anniversary When we walked in we weren’t greeted for quite some time despite only 5 cars in the lot. The cups were filthy so we chose plastic, then had to dig though plates to find a clean one. Our silverware had left over food on them. Half the food is not labeled. And or looks disgusting. Everything is either over cooked or undercooked. Every one of the desserts is clearly frozen and thawed out. The bathrooms has poop and piss all on the floor. Men are clearly pissing in the drain on the floor! All windows and seating was unclean Half way through our “meal” a random woman came up to us and said she was our waitress, she was wearing a winter coat and holding a purse as if she wasn’t even on the clock yet.. then took my husband’s plate and just put it on the table next to us and walked away! We will NEVER return and will be telling people of this horrible experience!! For 60$ for 2 people is outrageous

C
Catherine Moore

Truly disappointed in our experience for lunch at Golden Corral. Very sparse food offerings, organized poorly. We arrived at noon and at that time there was one hot dog, a tray of chicken livers, and a plate of wings available with some mashed potatoes. It took another 10 minutes before any other meat was offered. Tables and plates were not clean. Ice cream machine broken and dessert table had just Oreos and vanilla wafers. The food was mediocre to poor quality. Definitely not worth the price.

T
Tina Clawson

I wish I had a better experience as this place holds a lot of nostalgia for me and my family but it was horrible. My family drove in from over an hour and a half away and we went for lunch only to find filthy plates, dirty cups, half of the fountain out of drinks and majority of the food was not out. There were only about 2-3 other parties (maybe 12 diners total) in the dining room at the time of our arrival so it wasn’t like they were slammed and couldn’t keep up with the food demand. None of the food was labeled so me with food allergies was only able to eat pear slices and a scoop of Mac and cheese. (The Mac and cheese was near empty upon our arrival and not refilled the entire 30-45 minute duration we were there). Every time we asked when it would be put back out, as did other diners, the response was consistently “ten minutes”. The women’s bathroom had fecal matter, clogged toilets, and urine within all five of their stalls and the family bathroom was locked and unavailable for use so we had no bathroom access. Asked to speak to a manager and waited an additional 25-30 minutes before he made himself available. All the while, our “server” (who had only come to our table once to ask if we wanted hot sauce) was ranting and raving and complaining about how she “only makes $10 an hour and doesn’t have the time to deal with this shit”. Honestly just awful all around and left me questioning how the doors are even still open.

I went there with my nephew and fiance yesterday and they said it was fine but I’m sure I got food poisoning from them I had to call off of work today from it. When given my cup finally after asking about drinks midway through the meal, I had water but there was stuff floating in it and on the outside it was very dirty. The fried chicken was very soggy on the inside (which it what I think gave me the food poisoning) but I don’t think I can return here for all of this and still $30 a person is ridiculous

They really deserve no stars this place wasn't the best place!!!! I came in with 9 children and they didn't have pizza out well cheese pizza until i kept asking. They did a bad job keeping up with the food be available. They did a cakes and goodies were stale like they been there all day not fresh at all!!! No signs on the foods and that sucks when you don't eat pork and you have to yell in the back for someone to tell you what this meat is!!!! Came home all my children had diarrhea this place is terrible!!!!! It makes me want to open a better all you can eat spot!!! And i will!!!! What ever happened to old country buffet???!!!!!!!! Who has the funds i have the idea and i can manage let work!!!!!!!

My sister here visiting from out of town and was asked what she wanted to eat she spoke this Buffet which i haven't been in a long time so I was pretty excited to what was on the menu and yes they had all my favorite foods everything was set up very nicely and the food was fresh and Good definitely will be coming back to try what i didn't keep up the good work 😊

“Disappointed Visit After Many Years” I haven’t been to Golden Corral in a long time, and I was really looking forward to having some steak and rolls. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I asked for my steak medium-well, but it came out very bloody. When I asked for well-done, it was still closer to medium-well. The food overall didn’t taste fresh, and the restaurant didn’t feel clean. The restrooms were also very dirty, which made the whole visit uncomfortable. On top of that, the price was surprisingly high for the quality. For what I paid, I could make a much better steak at home. Sadly, this will be my last visit.

Dennis Williams

Staff wasn’t memorable, the food wasn’t good at all, the floors were dirty like the plates which were said to be clean, there were knives slices in the plates, cups were cloudy and dirty with fingerprints and stains, the tables and chairs had either gum or dust…. It was my first time ever visiting a golden Carrol and I won’t ever be doing this anymore. I’m mad my friend recommended it!

Christopher Howe

We are not from here. Stopped for food. Said well take it to go. We asked the girl working on desserts about how long for bread pudding would be. They said 10 minutes so we waited. 10 mins goes by and we are asked if we are waiting for something. I said yes the bread pudding and they inform us it would be 45 minutes. So now Im irritated waiting that long just to get told it won't be ready even longer. Like it's a buffet. I understand 10 minutes, but 45 minutes??? Come on now. Which by the one kid and adult. For $37.55 to go is insane. I know i could paid cheaper to sit and eat way more than what I got akd for how long waiting we could of done that. Poor service and poor communication.

Lillian Mahon

The options were lacking. Food had little flavor and there were very few options. The only thing I enjoyed was my steak. All of the drinks tasted like water. (I tried multiple trying to find one that tasted alright) The service was the only reason I gave this any stars. Wait staff was friendly. It was not worth the price.

Natalie

This place really went to shits or should I say downhill. $93 for a family of 5 and they didn’t have the big cups. We had to use the kiddie cups for our drinks. The foods there were all mushy. They barely had any variety of foods. No pizza no steaks ham no nothing. The fried chicken was dry as ever. The liver overly cooked. Customer service is even the worse. No one has that good customer service skills. The cooks don’t even look pleased or even wanting to serve dishes where they belong to at the stations. There wasn’t even desserts made. It took a while to set some there. I went today October 13, 2025. I went for lunch time. Honestly I will never go back there again. To have spent that amount and left very unsatisfied and disappointed to the max. I don’t know how they are still in business. They make good money and are very stingy with the foods and options to offer. I think they need to reevaluate this place and the people who work there.

Tabitha Reed

The food was not great, there was no one at the meat stations to cut up the meat (ham, roast beef etc). Everything was very greasy, even the rolls. From walking in the door the cashier was too busy talking to someone to help us. The cleaning staff were very nice and seemed to be working the hardest. The pizza was not out and only after about 40 minutes, when we were leaving, did some come out. This was the first time we had been to a Golden Corral, we had heard good things about it but I don't know if it was just this one or all of them but I don't think we will be trying it again.

Went here for my mother's birthday. Was a complete disaster. Food was wiped out. And the fresh stuff they brought out wasn't even cooked all the way. I got raw chicken and raw steak. I spent 115 dollars for garbage. Never again. This place needs to be shut down

PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE!!! This restaurant needs to be shut done by the health department. Upon walking in you can tell that Golden Corral corporate abandoned this place years ago. The drink machine apparently had no carbonation so the restaurant decided to put out room temp 2 liters for patrons to use at will. I was reluctant to eat here already but the family insisted. We paid an outrageous amount for “weekend buffet” which didn’t seem to offer anything outside normal menu options. The place had carpet throughout that was dirty and ripped up. The windowsills were filthy and had like a black goo on them. It was obvious nothing in this place ever gets cleaned. It gets worse because the food was either overcooked, undercooked or just down right disgusting. The broccoli was gray, the pizza was literally raw — I’m taking completely uncooked dough that swirled around like cheese. I have no idea how this place is even open given the conditions. I seriously urge any would be guests to go spend your hard earned money literally anywhere else. The one lone positive was the “server” Anthony who was taking back dishes and asked us if we needed anything. He needs to get out of there. Long story short, send in the health department and lock the doors.

This was the most negative experience I have ever had. This one star is for the lady who took my payment and the waitress who saw me sit down. I came in at 8:10 this evening to have a nice dinner. It was not a nice anything. The pictures below explain the food. It was nasty and disgusting. The worst part is the General Manager walked up on me while I was taking a pic of the broke Mayo and began grilling me about why I was taking pictures. After he acted super weird inside and asked me all accused of leaving a bad review already I left. He followed me outside, while saying he wasn’t following me outside, and then continued to defend the atrocities he was commuting with the food inside. I have never had someone intimidating me because I took pictures of their buffet. Very scary that they followed me outside. Not good. Mayonnaise was broken and the general manager told me that he just stirs it up to freshen it. Which he then did right in front of me. The pulled pork was swimming in fat and water which the general manager claims is the recipes fault. Empty food pans everywhere. The soups were dried out and the general manager said his staff forgot to change them. The Alfredo sauce was broken, where oil and fat separates from ingredients, and the employee took a cold gallon of milk and tried to freshen it up on the pan just taken off of hot bar. Veggies over cooked, burnt and old rice. Don’t go here. They don’t want you to have a bad experience if you’re going to talk about it.
