    I worked for them when it was still a steak house as a cook. I will say this, when I worked for them, it was quality. Now, its not the same but its not bad either. A ton of options for people that we never offered back then. Glad to see they are still going strong.

      I think a lot of people trash Golden Corral because of all the stories about the behavior of patrons who go there often. I’ve never eaten at one but from what’s been shared on Reddit by irregular patrons and staff makes me never want to be caught dead in one. They make it sound like a buffet version of Walmart

    Get a few breakfast things, and wait for the lunch/dinner
    stuff to arrive. Breakfast is cheaper, and comes with a
    beverage. (And, once you have that beverage, they will
    keep refilling it.)

I'll also use my water glass to fill it with orange juice, because the juice glasses are small, before they shut the machine off.

    Since I am immuno-compromised, I haven't been to Golden Corral since the outbreak of Covid, but in my 73 years I have eaten at probably 40 different buffet style restaurants in the US, Canada, and even Europe- some fancy' some family style, some needing a visit by the Health Department,
    I feel that Golden Corral is one of the best family affordable buffets that i have had the pleasure to enjoy. The food is nicely prepared and featured for the customer and the help is always quick to serve you. The food containers are usually filled on a timely basis and the food is always the right temperature, whetherr hot or cold. You can't beat it for the variety of food and the price. Hoping to get back there soon.

      No one at a Golden Corral has amazing cooking skills. When I ask for a medium rare steak they slice a portion off and show it to me, and I'm supposed to decide whether I'll accept it or not. The implication being that they have no idea what a medium rare steak looks like so the customer must decide. I've also seen children place a marshmallow on a stick, poke it into the chocolate fountain, lick the chocolate off the mallow and poke it back into the fountain. I wanted to gag. Thankfully that fountain has been shut down for quite some time. The food doesn't suck, it's basic American fare, fried chicken, fried/baked fish, steaks, meatloaf etc. Not high quality but not garbage either.

Sure as hell made me not wanna eat off it again. 😳 I made that delicious bread and cookies and pies. I enjoyed seeing people happy and kids happy. I was also a cook for a bit and I learned alot.

The way they request it them fools will request a shit load of it like this one fool he ordered enough for like five to eight people. You wouldn't believe this he didn't eat any of after, that the prison board had cut off that kind of request but they still can eat what they want the, only thing is they won't let them accumulate like, eat the whole kitchen if you know what mean.

      @vickiepatterson1748 2 года назад +2

      Don't go? Or, if you're serious and do go, fill up your plate once, carefully picking things you really want, and don't go back. Then make one trip to the dessert bar and make sure to look carefully and pick just one thing.
      The key is to pick items that are really what you want so you can finish those items and you're satisfied with them.
      Also, drink a full glass of water prior to eating then eat slowly. Then sit for a few minutes after eating so the food has time to reach your stomach.
      I know we all feel like it's a buffet and we should go back and eat as much as possible. But our eyes aren't as big as our stomachs so we should be picky about what we're putting on our plates and choose wisely then take our time eating it.
      Rules to follow:
      A glass of water
      Choose wisely
      Eat slow
      One dessert
      Don't go back for refill
      Maybe take someone to talk to and talk more than eating
      Hope this helps. 😉

    The Golden Corral in Middletown NY is only open 11am to 8pm and is closed on Mondays. On my recent visit a month ago, the steaks were horrible. Thin, gristly and tough. Ordered medium because they undercook. Overdone on the outside, raw in the middle. The Cook kept pressing the meat and spraying it with what I assume is vegetable oil. The meat comes right out of a cooler. Maybe if they kept some meat on the grill they wouldn't have to rush the cooking. And there were no mushrooms anymore.

It is pricey, though in all honesty, I didn't pay both times I went, one time was on the house and the other time I used points. The first time I had about five dollars worth of homemade tacos that were to die for, some cheese and fruit for dessert and a glass of wine and called it a day. I didn't come close to a good deal, but it was awesome. The second time I went, I had a mix of fresh seafood including a raw oyster shooter, A prime rib eggs benedict, some fried chicken, a salad, cake and ice cream for dessert. Again, it was awesome.

    Yeah, and many of their restaurants closed permanently after the pandemic. Why? I know of five in one area that closed but, the city across the river re-opened all of theirs. Again, why?
