Wow, worst experience to date at this golden corral. Everything was so dirty, food was lying on top of the counters. The plates were all scratched up like they have never replaced old plates. Our waitress even gave us an attitude, when we asked her for a straw. Manager did not say much, he said the counters get dirty all the time.

Food was hot and delicious. Servers lacked personality when trying to engage in conversation about when some food would be ready. It didn't seem like anyone was happy to be there.

What a great place to eat all you want for a good price they have such a variety of foods, very clean establishment, super friendly staff we had a wonderful time here. The food was very good it’s not a five star restaurant it is a buffet but the food was acceptable and tasty warm the wings were so good, the pizza was delicious as the steak warm medium rare just how I like I was impressed by all of the selection they have great salad bar as well, they have so many desserts from pies cakes cookies cheesecake and ice cream. Great staff to if you want to eat a variety of food for a good price this is the place for you. I’ll be back soon!

Our waitress Martha was an absolute joy!
Food was even better than before
She made us laughed and was such a genuine employee who just enjoyed having fun with her customers while maintaining excellence!
(Also kept my friend refilled and happy lol)
Overall amazing!

My daughter and I used to go to Golden Corral in Brandon FL when she was little. The food was VERY fresh and it was always a great place to go and have fun eating whatever you wanted to try. We liked GC so much we even just went there for my birthday dinner. Well immediately upon walking in, I knew something was up. The white fish (something I usually get) was dried up and shrunken in its pan under the heat lamps. The names of the items were all wrong and had nothing to do with what was under the signs. The soups were dried and caked around the edges in the soup tureens. The whole place smelled like cleaning fluid like Lysol or something and it was a stronger aroma than the food. The dinner rolls (something I usually like) were rubbery and coated with a butter flavored oil. My daughter tried the pizza and said the bottom had a gross coating on it but the top was good so she tried to concentrate on the top part and ignore the bottom part. The pecan pie was good, mainly because they didn't have to do anything to it, just thaw it. But even the blueberry pie which also was frozen had a taste like they stored it in the cooler with no cover or cling wrap over it and it absorbed the smells of the walk-in. Okra was past its prime, and in fact everything was past its prime, that is a good way to sum it up. Amber was a nice waitress, but they were missing that special crew member who goes around stirring, checking and wiping everything to make sure it is fresh and looks good.
