Always had great service at this location. Variety of foods is admirable for this type of restaurant. Most dishes are cooked well & taste good. Weekends can be very crowded as breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served. Photo of current price of Adult Dinner Buffet below.

Golden Corral never ceases to amaze me how much excellent food they can prepare in great quantities and feed so many people at once! We came here in a large family group after a funeral and it was so nice to come in and just immediately enjoy great food, excellent customer service and and each others company. Thank you!

The BEST Golden Corals the food is fresh, seasoned, and tastes great. The dessert bar has over 15 options and is delicious, nothing frozen--the pound cake and cookies HITT. It is kept really clean, with staff constantly removing empty plates and making sure your drink is refilled. Huge thank you to everyone working hard to cook, refill, and make it flow. We went on a Sunday and it was jammed packed with folks. Seemed as if one entire church congregation showed up Marking this as a FAVE, we will be back!

Visiting family and we decided to swing in for the buffet breakfast. Everything was stocked well food wise. The bathrooms did not have paper towels and were a mess.

The steaks are really delicious — no complaints about the food at all! But the workers who cut the steaks act like they don’t want to serve anyone, as if I came to eat at their house for free. Amazing food, terrible attitude — they seriously need better customer service.

I've been going to Golden Corral for over 30 years, and if you're looking for a clean, family atmosphere or a business luncheon with home- made food, this is the place. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The food takes you back to Mama or Grandma's house. The selections are awesome. Foods are changed out frequently so as not to dry out. I'm 71 now and rely on delivery services for my restaurant food. I still get a fresh, hot meal in a very reasonable time. .Amanda is a jewel, often helping me with things not on the delivery service's menu . Golden Corral is the best, and my family and I always feel special when eating there. I LOVE MY NORMANDY BVD/MEMORIAL RD GOLDEN CORRAL!
