One star is very gracious. Monica our server was wonderful. She has great customer service and should be in a better paying restaurant than minimum wage. The greeter or cashier seems bitter. No smile, not even a small kind gesture of a greeting. Her greeting "how many" as if we interupted her life. Ok now let me get started..... the Kitchen staff, completely clueless of Osha Safety Regulations and Standards. You have a cook or assistant placing bacon on a tray with no gloves, (whom I took a picture of) a cook making eggs in the omelette section with no gloves or longs sleeves, cracking eggs and reaching over for toppings. Her sleeve touching the edge of a hot fry pan and arm hair over the food. You have other line cooks or food preparation staff filling the buffet line food with no gloves... wiping their hands on their clothes and then again changing food. Now the food... how hard is it to make oatmeal..oats and water, well definitely hard for this restaurant. They serve more water than oats. Syrup watered down. So maybe its a lack of training. Well I doubt it when the same bad habits are preformed by the manager. Manager visibly seen checking food temperature inside the kitchen area with no hair net, no gloves, no apron. WOW..... again I understand this is an economical place to eat. I stopped here on my way home from a trip because once upon a time this food chain was pleasant to visit and it had the standards of a home cooked meal. But it is obvious in this day and age it is about quantity not quality for this particular restaurant. So If you want to risk getting food poisoning, or any other health issue due to cross contamination this is definitely the place to come. Definitely not what it used to be. I wont make that mistake twice after what I saw. I will also be notifying OSHA, because no one wants to buy a nice plate of food poisoning due to cross contamination and lack of responsibilities.

This place was way too crowded for the staff available. It was very busy at 7:30pm, food was difficult to keep stocked at the buffet. I had a birthday coupon that was with buffet purchase and they only discounted the child buffet $7.99 for my 4 year old who had a slice of pizza and fruit is completely ridiculous. They also tried to charge us for three adult beverages when we only ordered one. Our server had to being the manager over and we said we were okay with the shifty bait and switch free dinner coupon but we werent paying $2.79 X 2 for drinks we didnt order. This place is gouging tourists and its dispicable. We visited on Monday evening and I couldnt believe this place , plates were dirty, salad bar was atrocious , the steak was pretty good, usually its rubbery and overcooked this time it was okay. The ice cream machine was broken and the scoop ice cream was gone. I saw a guy working in the bakery reach I not a huge bag of cotton candy with his bare hands and pull out some cotton candy and give it to a kid, then he put on gloves and did something else. This place is dirty, most of the staff did not speak English and its. Ripoff, charging the premium price for regular food. The billboard outside said premium prices was Fri,sat, and Sunday. They charge it 7 days a week. Avoid this place, its not worth it, I am going to report them to corporate headquarters they seriously need undercover boss in there. Again i cant stress enough, go to chic fila across the street. Anywhere but this place.

I have been to Golden Corral s all over the place, and this is by far the worst! It was way over seated and people were letting their kids run around the food bars and the manager or servers were not saying anything. Adults were getting knocked over by kids. We were told to move to another table once we had already sat down, because there was a party of 14 and they needed our space. We had to get our drinks and stuff and move tables!! Then our waitress puts a straw in my Aunts cup without asking if she even wanted a straw in her cup, , it was odd. The food was cold, and half the items were out, no chicken, no salad bar items, and the steaks were tough as bricks! I did get some french fries, mac and cheese, peas and some popcorn shrimp. Not a great meal for $15 bucks. But the best is yet to come, and I had to take pictures to prove my review true, the dessert bar was DISGUSTING AND NASTY!! The "chocolate falls" was just nassty, there were eaten strawberries on sticks on the counter by it, the banana pudding had a strawberry and sticks in it and was runny and gross. The ice cream machine had not been cleaned for hours, either had the caramel dispenser. My pics dont lie. Then my waitress was counting her tips in front of us, talking about only making $40 during daytime hours. This GC, is awful. I used to waitress so I understand the job, and believe me, this restaurant is horrible! !

Dirty (dishes, carpet, bathrooms, hair in the cake was promptly replaced upon notification at the dessert station which was a crazy mess with icecream and grossness everywhere), CROWDED at 9PM, food was edible but not good (soup n salad bar looked scary, i didnt even touch it, veggies overcooked). WAY OVERPRICED for the quality (charging 7.99 for a 4 y.o. is RIDIC!!! $14.99/adult RIDIC!) And the coupon, 10%off but you must buy drinks, what?? essentially does nothing for you, dont bother). If this place is gross its the workers being understaffed and overworked. I went to the bathroom twice and my daughter once for diarrhea. For the sheer volume of people this place caters to daily until 11pm, be prepared for the massive hoard of wildebeast tourists who come trampling through. I gave one star because the waitstaff was lovely and attentive. Managment needs to STEP UP and stop pretending they have things under control ( tho i do have sympathy being in the tourist location that you are...)... . Now if u really must go to a GC, visit the one just south of Seaworld. Its smaller, but clean and the food is better.

Today was my first time coming to this location with my family. To start off our experience the server didnt give us our utensils my father had to get up and get them himself. So we hand out the packets to each other, mind you the spoons and forks and knives need to be indivually placed in those packets by an employee.. and we find a dirty spoon! Covered in jelly!! My father has to leave the table again to go speak with the manager. After that issues done with our sever comes back with the coffee my parents asked for and the whole brim of the cups are filthy! Along with an unknown green substance floating around the coffee?! After that weve had had it. My dad requested the manager and had a lengthy conversation with her about sanitation and cross contamination. Afterwards which we got our money back. I should also i should mention the biscuits were absolutely tasteless and empty like the eggs and the bacon was dried up and rockey. My family could have gotten sick here which is the last thing i need right now. We will never eat at this again.
