On a recent road trip back to the Pacific Northwest, I had the pleasure of stopping by this Golden Corral ! It did not disappoint !! So much better than our 1 Golden Corral in Western Washington !! Everything about my dinner experience was great !! The Price, The service (My Server Stacia was prompt and friendly), The food Bars all looked fabulous and everyone seemed to run like clockwork as far as tending to customers, sweeping up spills, taking dirty plates, the Manager (Barry Steen), even took a few minutes to chat with us about our trip, made us feel very welcome and told me I could take all the pictures I want !!! (Unlike a Western Washington Golden Corral) I highly recommend this Golden Corral to anyone passing trough the Twin Falls Area. I feel like I want to make a trip back to Idaho just to Visit this Golden Corral alone !! I will definitely Return !! Thanks Barry and Staff, Keep up the great work !

There's is a few places in the Twin falls locations that are buffets. Golden Corral is considered a good place to eat but with certain visits, you can tell the food is not at its best. You can tell that they leave some of their food sitting in their trays for a while before they replace it or simply wait for it to be empty. I had broccoli with some cheese sauce over it and I must say, I might as well be chewing a wet sponge. The bacon is good but it could be a tad bit crunchier. Overall the food was acceptable. The service is great, we had jody be our waitress for our visit. She was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of at all times. If your looking for an affordable buffet for lunch. Golden Corral would be a good choice just keep in mind that you're not paying $40/person ;-)

We stopped at this Golden Corral location on 7/21/14. After seeing all of the commercials on tv, we were excited to try out the restaurant. Needless to say, I will not be going back. Upon walking in to the restaurant the first thing I noticed was the smell. It wasn't the smell of delicious food, it was more the smell of grease and uncleanliness. The "cook" was helping out at the cash register/ drink area. Her white uniform was completely dirty. Unwashed perhaps? Maybe attacked by the food? Either way, it was a big turn off. Made me wonder was the kitchen dirty? The food cooked properly?? After paying for our dinners and getting our drinks we found a table and went to get our food. The buffets were dirty with food all over the Countertops. Everything was shriveled, over cooked and dry from sitting in the warmers for too long. The lettuce in the salad bar were limp. Nothing looked fresh and crisp. The watermelon had a tinge of sourness. Nothing looked fresh. There were utensils completely submerged in sauces. No one bothers to maintain the foods. Most items were very low in quantity and it took forever to get it replaced. Deep fried things were soggy. No name tags so you'd know what you're eating. Just gotta take a guess and go with it! Nothing looked very appetizing. Some dishes were also overly salty. One of the worst things was the highly advertised chocolate fountain. Kids hang around the fountain dipping, cross dipping different flavors and re-dipping their desserts. No one from the wait staff or kitchen bothers to supervise this. The white chocolate fountain had chocolate swirls running through it. Crumbs everywhere! The one best tasting thing was the fresh rolls made daily. They were very tasty. The floors (carpet) were very dirty. Food and rubbish all over the floors. Your shoes kind of stick to the floor. The server did come by occasionally to gather dirty plates. But never offered a refill on our drinks. Even the desserts weren't very appealing. No presentation at all, it looks as if no one cares. Overall, eat here at your own risk!!! Sadly, my daughter ended up wit food poisoning that evening. We won't be back.

The place is trash full of trashy people, and the food isn't prepared right, it is just mostly dirty and unclean, and the smell is unpleasant.

Stopped here during our road trip. If you've ever been to a golden coral they're all about the same. The food here was good, the selection great, and everyone left so stuffed. Loved that instead of looking at us like we're crazy (young couple with four kids all under seven) they were helpful, kind, and complimented the kids on their good manners. The special that day was steak and they cooked it a perfect medium rare for me. Really enjoyed our dinner here and you can't beat the price, under $40 to feed a family of six.

After admiring Shoshone Falls, it was time to eat! We heard that there was a Golden Corral in town so we headed on over. Costed us $8.49 each for the lunch buffet. That's fair so I can't complain about that. There was no line so were seated quickly after paying. We received good service that was very attentive. She would take away our used plates, and keep our glasses full. The restaurant was pretty clean and sanitary. I've only been to one other Golden Corral location before, and that is in my hometown so I can only compare the two branches. This branch in Twin Falls was smaller than my hometown location. They offered less options here. The one option that they do not have here that I really missed was the ice cream. At my hometown branch, they have scoops of ice cream flavored butter pecan, cookie & cream, mint chip, and rainbow sherbert. Over here in Twin Falls, they only had the soft serve ice cream. The vanilla flavor was all out while we here too. So, I got to dock them 1 star because of that. Overall, though, the food was quite good for the most part. I'd surely come here regularly if I lived in the area.

HORRIFYING. This place goes down and down and down even more each time I come here! First of all RUDE EMPLOYEES. While on my way to the mac and cheese, a cook is restocking the food, simply does not say excuse me while walking right in front of me. Then, I tried to get some mac and cheese, but he said WAIT TILL I FINISH. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I am your customer, and if you treat me like garbage, then don't expect me to ever come again. Not only was he rude, he put other trays ON TOP of the macaroni--absolutely UNSANITARY! Chinese food--fake, disgusting chinese food. Salad Bar--meh Desserts--ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTING. The banana pudding, usually the best thing there, was mushy with no banana and only banana flavored pudding. Waitress--decent but not good enough. OVERALL--the crappiest place to fill your belly (with terrible food and horrifying people). The owners of this Golden Corral better step up their game in management, or else we will not be coming back. I URGE anyone, PLEASE go somewhere else besides here, you will surely be glad you did.

I have gone to three golden corrals all over the country and I didn't like a single one not excluding the one in twin falls. The food quality is very poor, the staff are rude, the place is dirty, and I know they are trying to be awesome with having a chocolate waterfall thing, but if you watch people, they will stick their fingers in it...ya, I am not touching that. Everything was bland and I think with the food quality, they were over priced.

Wow after asked if we needed cash back to tip our server upon arrival we watched the stack of plates grow on our table... uhh what server? She came 2x and called to us from across the room how was everything?!? Wow u want a tip when you can't even walk to our table or take away dirty plates? Wow. Silverlining was I kept forgething to grab a new fork but hey my old one would be waiting for me on my used plate when I returned like an old reliable dog greeting you... Then we have to listen to the kitchen staff hoot and hollar like they're at a barn dance. Seriously who hired these people?!? I wanted to tell them to keep it down because it was seriously disturbing to watch an sweaty kitchen fw male worker dry humping the air while getting my spring rolls! Her back was to me and the kitchen was up on a roar laughing. Sure have fun but do u ppl realize that area is like picking ur nose in a car...ppl see u!! There is no door!! People hear you talk trashy and we see a sexual harrasment lawsuit in golden corals future from what some of us customers could hear....you're at work not a bar or billys basement! Sheesh. Mashed potatoes were runny and they were too busy bullish'ing to restock most of the stuff. The shear amount of salt added to everything is crazy. I think that's to make people thirsty to fill them with beverage not food though, because no one puts that amount of salt in anything. Also isn't there a time limit on food? Some was SO COLD like the potroast. I blame managers for all failings . . . Did I mention dirty plates? FIRE THE MANAGER because this place is not run well at all. It sucks for the very very very few people there who may be good employees, although none of those people worked today's lunchshift obviously. Today's 2nd chance visit to see if the horrible 1st visit was a fluke...it was not anything close to a fluke. If you work at this place...sucks to be you because you work with some pretty lame people who are embarrassing to call co workers.

Ick!! I gave 2 stars only because the server was nice.. Food was bland and messy areas. The veggies were frozen and the dressing was gross... All the other servers were walking around looking upset and it totally brings down the mood of the place.. Glad it was my first and last at a Golden Corral... Time to head back home where buffets are good again.

If zero stars was an option, I would have given it that rating. I have eaten at a GC in Florida and it was excellent. Stopped here while visiting Sashone Falls and had to get a refund and leave. Flies were ALL over, including landing on all the food. No one seemed to be bothered by this but we thought it was nasty. Not talking a few flies, more like at least 30-40!!! Avoid this place if flies bother you.

We had a real fun time at dinner. Lots of choices for everyone and the food was great. They would have had 5 starts if they kept it better stocked.
