Golden Corral Buffet & Grill

It's the best golden corral buffet I've ever been to. The food is delicious. Chicken wings, kudos to the cook. And then the ambulance was called, not because someone had eaten more than she could chew. No, noooo, a customer went into labor for a baby boy. I'm glad I was there so she can hold my hand. Wishing her a blessed delivery

12/29/2023: During my previous visit to this location, I removed one star because of unfavorable service. Today I re-add a star because the exceptional service and atmosphere created by having Mickey as our waitress.
**************
I ate a variety of food to get my money's worth, all of which was prepared well. The restaurant was clean, including the Men's restroom, which is an important factor used for my ratings.

Once we were seated, Songa took good care of our table by promptly taking our order for beverages, bringing us plates, and repeatedly coming by to make sure all was well. She also did a great job at removing used plates to free up space on the tables.

Songa is an asset to Golden Corral, as were all of the other employees who worked on the day of our visit (November 10, 2021).

ASK FOR DIAMOND (server)! This young lady was professional, kind, attentive, and very sweet. She went above and beyond, unnecessarily. My family of five was in a really chill mood. My hubby hadn’t had Golden Corral since the start of COVID and really wanted to go. Several of the foods were just blah, but it’s a buffet. I do expect the foods to be hit or miss. Her service was truly SUPERB.

The dining area was clean and most of the severs were continuously cleaning, sweeping, etc. Their conversations were a bit much. Yelling to one another while in their respective zones, carrying on conversations that weren’t work appropriate in the presence of families dining. We also witnessed an employee openly debating/ or arguing with the manager in the dining area.

The cashier apparently wanted to be anywhere but work. I greeted her, complimented her and was overly pleasant (it’s my natural personality 🙄 I can’t help it😂). She only asked us what we wanted to drink, and told us our total. My son asked if she could mix his drink (lemonade and fruit punch). She literally just stared at him. I told him no and we kept it moving. In her defense it’s apparent they may have been short staffed as the cashier was making drinks and running the register. That doesn’t excuse her lack of joy though. Some people have that Wednesday Adams’ temperament- I get it. But she should be maybe in the kitchen. That way she doesn’t have to interact with the public if customer service is just not her thing.

I was sure to seek out the manager before leaving just to extend our praise for Diamond. His response- “oh yeah, that’s Diamond. She is great!” Clearly we aren’t the only members in her fan club. Love it!

They had AMAZING FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. Hot, fresh, and delicious! Everything I got was so yummy! Very clean and fresh. Staff was very friendly, refreshing our drinks and removing our empty plates. This is possibly the Best Golden Corral Buffett that I have ever been to. Clean restrooms. Busy place, cause everyone knows it is so good! They have senior specials too!

This is a very popular restaurant. Food is so fresh and good. Service is great. They give senior discount. My favorite is the mashed yam.

I had a good time. There with my husband's class reunion meeting. I didn't give stars for service because I served myself. The lady that was taking up the dirty plates was not pleasant, until she was getting her tips from the group. Then she was all smiles. She was kind enough to take pictures of the group, after she received her tips.

Went here last night for the company Christmas Party ❄☃🪢🧣🧤🌬🎅🏂🎁. We had an blast. Fresh food, Gigi our server was amazing and on point! Very persistent. They food stayed fresh and rotated. All staff members were smiling and very welcoming. This Golden Corral on Jonesboro Rd in McDonough GA is awesome 👌!

What an oasis for the tired and hungry traveler. There was slight wait to pay the ladies for the buffet but it was worth it! The salad bar was loaded with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. Even had two kinds of piping hot soup. I had the chowder... delicious. The buffet was enormous. From baked talapia to cooked to order steak there was literally too much to choose from. There's a special senior person rate for the value conscious.And I must comment on the staff. Jamie met us and showed us to a freshly cleaned table, gave us a few extra plates and checked up on us from time to time to make sure our dinner was a great experience.
We'll have to make sure we get back here soon.

Golden corral has a wide variety of food for young and old. You're sure to leave with your belly full. The desserts are real good. The price is very affordable. Definitely a place to check out.

Me and my husband love getting up early and coming here for breakfast it’s not to crowded the service is great and Linda C and Jessie are our favorite waitresses

Today was my son's first bday. He got to eat all kinds of food and ice cream and the staff sung happy bday to him. He was a little confused why they were singing to him but he had a good time. Our drinks were constantly refilled and the waitress was kind and made sure we were wll taken care of. There wasn't a wait and it was a Saturday evening. So that was pretty good.

Stopped on way to Florida. Everything was very fresh and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. Everything we tried was delicious.

For the price, weekday lunches here can not be beat. They may have a more limited selection for lunch, but under $15 a person for all you can eat is wonderful! Would highly recommend for a quick lunch break, in and out in about 30 minutes.

Went for veteran's day free meal. Fully expected it to be less than fully functional, but I was wrong. They did fantastic with keeping everything available and fresh. Very pleased, thanks for having us!

I always love the Golden Corral. We had lunch this time, which was good. Our waitress was great. The 5 stars go to her. I wish I remembered her name, I believe it was Linda?
I added some photos to help anyone that was unsure about prices like we were. Hope it helps! Children under 3 eat free.

The food was delicious and the service was great. The prices were good too.

Family friendly and lots of food choices. This is my family's go to place especially when we have out-of-town visitors. There was a long line to get in to the restaurant but that's expected during a busy Sunday dinner rush. Once we paid for our meals everything else went smoothly. The buffet stayed fully stocked and the waitress was very friendly! Highly recommended!

We came here on Black Friday while traveling and it was crowded. The floor by the cashier was really sticky. That wasn’t very impressive. But otherwise everything was fine.
Selection of food was huge. They had also turkey and stuffing. Food was delicious. Selection of deserts is also huge.
They also had cotton candy. Which was great hit for our kids. And chocolate fountain I think is everyone favorite.

As always i was welcome in and Ms Kayla is amazing i didn't have to wait to long to pay for my food to be weighted she is awesome and very polite and a very sweet lady.

I can't speak for all their restaurants but this one we like very much. We find it clean , not a long wait to pay , and a good variety of things to eat . They honor the senior discount for both lunch and dinner. It's a nice place.
