There was some good and bad experience at this establishment, and I might as well start with the good.To start off some of the food I had tired was amazing! Such as the Ham and shrimp. The restaurant was kept very clean at the buffet and the lobby and seating area as well! We got there and were greeted as soon as the door opened, no wait time, and our service was beyond amazing.Now the issues we did find was a bit...offTo start off, some of the food was interesting and needed some work, I forgot if it was pumpkin or sweet potato pie, but it had way too much cinnamon that you couldn't enjoy the flavors this pie had to offer. The mango ice was nothing but colored water, and the banana pudding was bland. The steaks needed better trimming, and it was warm, I had asked for a rare, and he had taken the steak that had been sitting beside him and tossed it on the grill to warm it up. The bathrooms, both male and female, had issues. The males restroom was nasty and filled the room with an aroma where it made you not want to eat when you returned. And in the female bathroom , a worker with an apron had walked out of the handy cap while a handy cap female was waiting for it, and washed her hands and left. Any worker with an apron should remove the idea to prevent cross contamination. When we asked to speak to a manager, he was very nice and understood the situation and said he would have a talk with the servers.Would return again but would expect better next time.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible and parking right at the door.

The food from all the bars was cold. Everything that myself or my grandchildren ate was cold. The cheese on top of the pizza was half frozen. The only thing worth eating were the desserts.I was so disappointed cause I have eaten here before with great results but this was a big let down and I probably won't spend another 40$ to chance another meal like this one. The servers were great and attentive.
Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, salad bar was awesome, as well as the fried chicken and other offerings. Our reason for going to CG is not the "all you can eat" aspect. Rather the variety, for a bit more than the price of a combo meal at many fast food joints. You can get steak, fried chicken, pot roast, a nice variety of veggies, soups and salads, and more. The bonus are the deserts, though we rarely get to that because of the main course offerings.Table "service" was terrific, our "server" was quick to offer refills and remove dirty items. Offered us to go drinks as well.Senior discount was a big help for the wallet.We don't go often, but it is a nice meal when we do.Vegetarian options: A nicely stocked salad bar, loads of hot veggies, often at least one veggie soup, and a nice selection of veggies friendly main dishes.Dietary restrictions: They will, within reason fix items to meet certain vegetarian and other dietary needs, if not too busy and you ask nice. At least at the one near us.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids, pizza, Mac n cheese, burgers, chicken tenders and more. As well as other options.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doors, pretty open seating for those that need space. Bathrooms are nice for those in wheel hairs, mobility devices and disabled folks.They will also offer assistance carrying items from the bar to your table, nice.
The guy in the kitchen singing always makes everyone in such a better mood ❤️❤️. I love going to the Golden corral in Kingsport ❤️Dietary restrictions: Low carb
We weren't huge fans of the lunch/dinner selections - okay, but nothing special. Breakfast is good though.I was very impressed with how clean the dining room was kept during our visit. The glimpses of the kitchen, however...Good service from our wait staff.

Usually I find the food goodBut Sunday the steaks were tough, chicken was hard, and baked sweet potatoes cooked to pieces. I paid $40+ dollars for this.
