Food is cold. Shrimp, pancakes, etc were cold. The cornbeef hash is the same one you can get from a can at the grocery store. We came fir dinner another time and it was disappointing. We tried again for breakfast and it was terrible. Bland and cold. ​

EVERYTHING WAS COLD, salad was OK not very many selections. The only thing moderately good was the mashed potatoes and gravy. They could've been warmer. It would've been nice.

Good location. Clean, friendly staff, food is stocked well and prepared as it should be. Katrina works very hard keeping it clean and keeping drinks coming. She always has a smile, which is nice.

Waiting for the food to come out is time consuming. I speak very loudly with respect being a former state Leo, and the young women ignored me making eye contact with me over the bar because their conversation which has nothing to do with their work was more important. It took them a great deal of time to bring out some of the meals that were depleted, because no one is paying attention to the bar due to lack of employees I am assuming. When I observed the food finally being replenished, it was COLD. We are talking from white fish to melted nacho cheese, etc. The Fried Chicken was very salty. The half sweet, half unsweetened tea was extremely sweet. The cakes were dry. The men's room is rarely being filled with paper towels, and the hand dryer never worked since I last visited approximately one year ago. I will not be returning there again, especially after my wife got sick. I wasted approximately $50

The service was great. They should allow you to tip your server by card but they charge at the beginning and makes it difficult to tip if you don't carry cash. Food was decent and not many options if you are a meatlover.

My slider had no meat!! Both baked chicken types tasted like fish. The beef was very tough. The fried chicken & meatloaf were very good as were the cheese & carrot cake. No more ice cream You fill the small cones w/ slushies. It dripped right through the cone.

I really enjoyed this Golden Carral. First thing. It was clean! The food was well prepared, I wish they had a larger selection all around. Overall 8/10 would recommend.

Came here when it first opened before the pandemic and it wasn't very good so we never came back. But I guess going so many years without any good buffets (rip souplantation and local casino buffets) I was dying to give it another try especially since a lot of the newer reviews are good. We spent $75 for 3 of us and I wouldn't say it's worth it. The salad bar wasn't extensive. The cheese tasted a little moldy. Everything else was what you would expect from a basic buffet. Some items were better than others. The yeast rolls are the best thing here. The desserts were sad. I'm sad they don't offer icees or cotton candy anymore. Drinks aren't self serve. Can't remember if they weee before the pandemic but I know they were at the home town buffet that was here first it took a while for our drinks to come. The dessert options are almost exclusively chocolate so if you're not a chocolate love you're SOL. There was a strawberry cake - tasted like it was from Walmart. There was banana pudding but it was empty and never refilled. Bread pudding but that never usually good at a place like this. Then there was brownies, fudge, chocolate covered marshmallows and cookies that looked really unappealing but were prob the best dessert option. Much better tasting than you would expect. I don't think we'll ever come back except maybe to check out the breakfast but we won't come back for dinner
