This Golden Corral recently changed management, and is now horrible in every way. The service is pathetic beyond belief, and the food is not only terrible, but is unsafe. Several of my family members got very sick after eating there. One of them was so sick, they missed work for over a week. Would never ever go back again, and would definitely never recommend to anyone.

Was it ever good? I used to think so. Went here with my son for his 11th birthday, and I remember soft, fluffy rolls; tender bourbon chicken and somewhat flavorful steak; decent pot roast; a clean salad bar; happy servers; and above average fried chicken. Over the years, however, I've come to prefer fresher, more personally prepared food, even if I have to pay a premium, so I know my palate's changed. BUT . . was it ever this bad? The rolls were cold, soggy, overly sugary, and dripping with butter. The bourbon chicken tasted like he had been sitting out from the night before. The pizza was soggy and stale, the fried chicken was sinewy (yeah, it doesn't make sense to me too), the salad bar was dirty, and something died inside of me when I saw what the dessert bar had become--a kid's carnival. Again, I don't think I ever really loved this place, but it sure used to seem a lot better.

It's a buffet so obviously quality is going to go down a bit but the food here is good and there's a huge selection which is really nice, much better than chuck-a-rama.

I've been here many times. I have had some good experiences and some bad. Sometimes Its great, sometimes not so great. Overall it's an okay place in my opinion. Very average service, food, and prices.

Enter at your own risk. I've come to this establishment begrudgingly at the request of various family members these past few years. Last Sunday was my last visit. Food was littered all over the ground, swept under the counters and the floors looked like they hadn't been washed since Reagan was in office. The counters weren't being maintained and food was spilling all over and plates still had some traces of the previous meal that was eaten on it. There was also an unfortunate incident of a person (child?) who got sick inbetween the ice cream area and bathrooms and it was left there for a good solid 5-10 minutes before it got mopped up. I don't get why they haven't been shut down, honestly. If you can get past the grime, then the food is passable in the same manner that Paris Hilton is a songstress...i.e. only barely. And bonus, free refills.

This place was not what I remembered. The food was below average and not very fresh. I tried some of the ribs and they were incredibly tough. The pizza was droopy and soggy, and the salad dressings were awful. I'm not sure how they screw up a salad bar but they did. The only decent things we tried were the pot roast and strawberry pie. Funny enough, unlike the other reviews I read, our sever was very friendly and kept up on the drinks. If you have any taste for decent food you will not enjoy eating here.

I would never return to this Golden Corral or any of them, I have gotten food poisoning twice from this estsblishment. Never mind these buffets. Stick to the buffets in las vegas that are at nice resort hotels.

We have been going here for the past 20+ years. The food is not so bad, except the chicken 50% of the time is undercooked, They keep having specials (really great egg rolls or chicken pot pie) but then they are gone. The "servers" and "manager" will only say that they don't make the decision for any specials. I don't eat beef, so I'm stuck with half-cooked chicken or "catfish" which I don't like. The "servers" are 85% of the time nice, but sometimes they don't come back to refill your glasses. This is frustrating because the only reason they do this is so the patron feels obligated to leave the customary $2 tip. I can't say I'm 100% disappointed with this place, but it's either this or the up-chuck-a-rama (pun intended). The price is quite reasonable.

I generally have learned to despise buffets for their stale and low quality food, glutinous mentality, and the sick feeling after eating so much bad food. Golden Corral is definitely a step or two up from say a Chuck a Rama. There is plenty of gluttony to be sure but the steak is generally pretty tender and the fruits pretty good. I really like the rolls, rice, and bourbon chicken.

They seem to add more and more. They have freakin' cotton candy! Is this the carnival? Not a fan if fighting the kids away from a super sugar high, but everything else is average or above.

Food is dry and cleanliness is a problem. Pretty gross. But I will say their steak had me coming back for seconds. But I probably won't go back.

Honestly this is the grossest one I've been to. But if you really need a buffet it's ok.

$10 all you can eat grilled steak. Unless you're some kinda treehuggin granola eatin vegetarian freak-hippy, it rarely gets better than this.

I love this place. Every GC I go to when I'm in Utah tastes SO good and our servers are great. Clean, the cashiers were efficient and quick, we didn't wait for a seat even though it was lunch time and it was a bit full. I noticed our server cleaning tables as soon as guests left and clearing her area's tables of dishes often. I LOVE that. Why have a million things on your table when you have 6 people eating at one? Nothing I've had during this visit was dry or cold and my cousins who have never been to GC before now have a new favorite to come to in Utah.

Worst food ever and even worse atmosphere. It was so gross! Everyone eating there was obese, it made me feel sick and I couldn't finish eating.

It all started with the line to get in. There were two couples in front of us, and yet, it took 10 minutes to pay. Not very fast or efficient to say the least. The layout of the restaurant wasn't the best. The tables were too close together in some parts, and the buffet line didn't accommodate large numbers of people. In terms of the food....it was alright. The salad bar could have used some more dressings, aka poppy seed and or raspberry vinaigrette. I had a plate-full of the bourbon chicken because it was so good (it pretty much saved this review). The stuffing was alright as was the rice. The onion rings were a bit cold, and pork was a little dry. In terms of dessert, the cookies were really good, as were the chocolate covered strawberries, but the cake was crumbly and dry. There is all you can eat ice cream, which certainly helps. Overall it wasn't bad by any means, but I've certainly had better. They do have a breakfast buffet, while I haven't tried it I imagine that it is probably better.

Ok the 5 stars here is comparing apples to apples and as far as Ryans/Golden Corral type restaurants go this is the best I have ever been to. The wait staff was excellent. The food was very good (and we were there just before closing). The place was clean and the servers were busy cleaning up when others were leaving. Very pleasant experience!

On our way back to California we stopped by Golden Corral for dinner. It is a buffett style restaurant. They charged around $11 per person, plus $2.49 per drink per person. They offered steak, which was very dry, ham, chicken, and pork. They had a variety of side dishes, my favorite was the sweet corn nuggets, salad bar, and dessert bar. They dont have a large variety of bread, they just give you a basket of dinner rolls and butter. We didn't get to try any of the desserts and the dessert bar was totally destroyed and the staff never seemed to replace anything. The food was just okay. The host was barely pleasant, however the wait staff was exteremely friendly. The atmosphere was casual and clean.
