Reviews For Golden Corral Corporate Office

| i worked at gc for over a year. helped open a new store and worked my butt off sometimes 50 hrs a week. when business slowed down so did the hours. after working so hard and never late, never call out, i was "let go". the reason? poor production. all well and good but never written up, never spoken to about such offense! the truth is after the store opening they started hiring illegals and realized that they would work for minimum wage and had LOTS of friends. eventually almost all of the workers were spanish! they treat their employees like garbage! the meatcutter would come to my kitchen and say "don't eat the chicken today, it smells really bad and they're making me use it anyway" i never ate there again!!! port saint lucie, florida | |

| I have been working for golden corral now for about 5 months since grand opening it seems every week management have their favorites when it comes to scheduling I will probably end up leaving due to lack of hours. | |

| I just watched an add by golden corral that is obvious a racist commercial. It depicts both white people and black people in a negative way. I can not believe that a business would desire to publish such a racist commercial. An apology should be issued on prime time and those responsible should lose their jobs. | |
Human Rights being Amuse  | 1/12/12 |
| The women at Franklin Ohio are being mentally amuse and their dignity disgraceful. They can't call and leave their name because the fear of being fire. The have called HR and wrote letters numerous times and they are ignored because of its not sign. So I'm appealing this time to the Human Rights Commission and a few senators. The women boyfriends and husband are outrage. They have this old guy Jerry making Gregg make the women miserable. Almost everyday one is wrote up for something those too made up or some rule impossible to keep. I afraid if not already they might blackmail one into raping them. Yes its that bad. Everything they get feedback from a complaint that place is a living hell for them. No human especially women should be treated less than human. They are afraid to call the cops cause they might get beat up or electrocuted. The bottom line is Golden Corall is trying to sell and they trying to treat people mean to get rid of them. They taught them, make sexual advances, try looking down their blouses, make waitresses to odd jobs which is IRS reason for procecution against Golden Corall. Please if you have any compassion for people you'll investigate these complaints. | |

| The Golden Corral #2446 of Houston, Texas food was not up to par at all and was kept at below minimal temperatures per Harris County Health Department regulations. This place should be shut down ! Also, found the manger drinking in the area where the food was ??? she was not dress to say she was the manger of the golden corral, when i told the manager i want my money back she was very nasty with how she was profming her dutis at the time and told me and my chil we need to leae now and i ask her for my receite she told me it was her's to keep and i explain to her i have a right to my receipt the Manger you have to leave and i was about when she said i to pay for the drinks and i was done about it. Stay away!!!!!!! of the houston Texas Location of 610 and Main....... | |
| The Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrst! | 1/4/12 |
| We recently ate at the Golden Corral on 22nd and Columbus in Tucson, AZ The moment that we entered this establishment it smelled like "death" as if we were eating in the chow hall at a convelescent hospital. There was lettuce literally caked on the bottom of my plate .... eeeewwwww ! The food was not up to par at all and was kept at below minimal temperatures per Pima County Health Department regulations. This place should be shut down ! Also, found a spoon with baked on ??? on it , told the manager nothing done about it. Stay away ! | |

| When you opened your restaurant here in Sacramento Calif, a few yrs. ago, I thought it was one of the best places to eat. In fact, I thought it was as good as the buffet on the Cruise Ship that I had been on a few months prior. The Food, Service, every thing was exceptional, and my BF Mike and I would eat there a few times a month. My BF Mike had a really bad fall at home and it had been a year or so since we had last eaten there. It was like walking into a totally different restaurant. There was food every where on the floor. Over half of the food selections where empty, and what wasn't empty, has sat there for so long, it was really dried out. But the worst part was the actual.food. Mike got a cup of clam chowder and took a few bites and said if tasted bad. I got a fried chicken wing and took a few bites of it without looking before I noticed it was Raw. I tried to show it to out waiter Alex, bit he just took my plate away and said nothing. I kept a piece of if and went to show the Mananger, and he said to me " THIS CHICKEN ISN'T RAW MAMN" I told Ken that " YES IT IS RAW, that I had a better piece to show but Alex, The that he had just walked with it". The manager got really angry and said as he was walking away, that the only thing I can do is to tell the kitchen staff. A short time after we got home. Mike became VERY I'LL. Vomitting and very nauseous, stomach ache and the sweats I paid $27.. For food that I either couldnt eat, or that I ate and got sick from. Readind some of the other reviews. It sounds like ttie is standard practice all across the Country. It looks like the Health DEPT. needs to be informed of this. I would like go have my money refunded, because I certainly will not ever eat there again I would really appreciate a reply from someone. Sincerely Sandy Stoker 916-514-0691 | |

| 12/21/11 8:45pm 610/(Main&Buffalo Spdwy) location. I would like to make complaint about the quality of the food,service & non-concerning attitude of the manager. I spent $54.05 at this establishment for a good meal but instead in leaving with an upset stomach & very dissatisfied meal. I was served shrimp that wasn't cooked all the way so I had to keep the cook they are not done. My meatloaf was mushy, steak was very very tough & dry. I can keep going on on about the disastrous meal that myself & 3 other guest had. We tried several different food items. We had to wait & wait & wait for drink refills. We were there for about 20 mins. before just leaving. I went to complain to the mgr on duty & he acted as if it was joke. Personally i would like to have my money back, not a gift coupon because i will not be returning. Im not sure if anything will done of the situation but my number is 713-471-0113 traray | |

| As a previous employee I im ok with just about everything but these power crazy owners and general managers I just spoke with the by far rudiest general manager named micheal from the pembroke pines location who gave me that attutide im nice only because I have to be she hung up on me 3 times and wen I called again askin for her last name she refused to give it to me... Now this is not the only person higher in ranks that feel they can do and speak however they please. As i said before i was an employee at the golden corral on commercial the general manager nehassie castro is one of th# best people I have worked for but the owners ruined that experience for me and I was fired for supposedly "slamming a swinging door" which is not possible.. I find it very unfair because not only did they ask other employees who cleared the situation but I was doing my secondary duties i was signed on as line/server but was brought in every friday saturday and sunday for waffles etc... While also doing the truck on mondays and thursdays I feel that instead of having a CSQ for the stores maybe these owners and managers need to be reevaluated because as I said working for golden corral was a good experience for me but for bosses to treat employees like crap is unexceptable the general manager micheal in pembroke pines didnt know I was an employee and treated me like that which doesnt give the company a good look | |

| November 27, 2011 I was never more disgusted and made so sick to my stomach in my life. I always thought Golden Corral to be a very nice family orientated business. I was shockingly wrong!!! I went to use the ladies restroom and as I opened the door a waitress (who, for the time being will be unnamed)and I witnessed the cruelest action take place. A woman had her son backed into the corner of your restroom and then, as hard as she could, kicked this "could be 4 year old" child in his leg so hard his glasses flew off his face!!!!!! He cried so hard and so did we. Here's the punch in the gut.....when brought to your manager's attention, she simply replied that they could not get involved. WHAT?!! Is the protection of children and the address of abuse not important enough to your company to protect that poor child and possible others. I thought the manager to be a sad ass coward. so, I write you. will you investigate and reflect on video this woman? I will find out if nothing is done, after that I will go to every news station and put your business on the street!!!!! GET BUSY!!!!! WE ARE PREPARED AND HAVE MORE THAN 4 WITNESSES. I hope it doesn't come to that but for any child, I am more than willing to step forward and protect as best I can. How many children have to die because people just like you and I ignore the things we see....... | |

| My family (myself,husband, and elderly father) ate at a golden corral in El Paso TX on Lee Trevino rd. My husband suggested it because he had good experiences with this restuarant. We went to eat there at five in the evening on 19nov2011. My husband got himself a piece of fried chicken and when he bit into it it was RAW! I brought this to the waiters attention and asked to speak to the management. The waiter went in the back and came back out and told my family that everything was ok and they would remove and re-fry the chicken... This is completly un-sanatary and unacceptiable. I don't know what kind of people this is running this joint but its disgusting... Never saw the manager apparently feeding people raw chicken in the location he or she is responsible for is not a big deal to him. Trust me though if tomorrow my husband is ill it will become a big deal because I will be filing a law suit. If one of you corporate gentlemen could please handel this issue it would be fantastic. I would also like an apology on behalf of the organization for the sub-parr treatment and putting out food that could make someone seriously sick or even die...my e mail is KMO9795@hotmail.com if any of the heads of golden corral can pull themselfs away from their busy life for two seconds to shoot me an apology. | |

| I was wondering if there would be any way to build a Golden Corral in the East Stroudsburg area of Pennsylvania, the closest one to us is in Lancaster. As I sit and read all the bad reviews, it saddens me, because any time we have gone to a Golden Corral it has been clean, and the staff have only been friendly.As far as taking pics of fat women, let them take pics of me all they want, at least they will leave everyone else alone. | |
| Nicholas brandt | 11/15/11 |
| In 2009 i was a manager for your store which is located in pompano bch florida in that time i was go to the other store in tamarrac florida, while i was working i heard the owner saying that he hated white Americans and also hate white American veterans ,so i took the liberty of putting it on twitter and facebook and you tube i hope thats ok | |

| I recently quit the Golden Corral because it was pure insanity! Management would take pictures of the overweight customers (only women) and walk around to the servers making fun of them. The sexual talk between Management and co-workers was unbearable. They didn't allow us to provide great customer service because we had to flip plates and stock them, sort silverware and stock it, clean restrooms when customers would smear fecal matter on the walls and vomit either from over eating or tainted food. Management and co workers would go out in the parking lot and smoke marijuana and drink alcohol and then come back in and act crazy. Poor management equals disaster. No job is worth selling your soul to the devil. Money was ok and schedule was flexible but you have to be "in" with management in order to get the best section (near the door) if not they would shove you in the back of the restarant where on certain days no one would sit. Oh and practically everyone is on welfare there because they don't make you work on the clock or claim all your tips. Good luck! | |

| Looked at location for closest golden corral, map showed one 35 miles away in Muscatine, Iowa. Got news for you idiots at corporation, that resturant has been closed for years. Free food for vets on Nov 14. I wouldnt eat at one of thier pig pens, free or not, after reading the horrible reviews here. I am going to write to the service organizations I belong , the VFW, American Legion, and the DVA and let them know about this site and suggest we separate ourselves from the Golden Corral. | |
| Ken | 10/29/11 |
| I've been reading comments, and there seems to be a common thread, your managers treat employees like crap. I've also checked all web sites,and there's no way to talk to labor relations.I guess employees have no recourse.My wife works for Golden Corral and has come home many nights in tears.She's a hard working middle aged woman with over a years experience,and needs this job,but lately we wonder if it's worth it.The food they serve is really good,but there is no rating system low enough for working conditions. Is there anyone at corporate listening ? | |

A NICE SPANISH LADY NAMED DELORES WAS EITHER FIRED OR QUIT BECAUSE OF BAD FEELINGS FROM WHAT I HEARD..THERE IS AN OLD COUPLE WHO SIT THERE AND WILL TELL YOU ALL THE GOSSIP YOU WANT TO HERE WHEN THE OWNER IS NOT THERE. THEY ARE REALLY NICE TOO. THE OWNER SEEMS TO REALLY LIKE THEM TOO. I DOUBT THE OWNER KNOWS THEY TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THEY DO. THIS WOMAN DELORES WAS ALWAYS NICE TO EVERYONE I SAW AND HAD BEEN THERE A LONG LONG TIME I THINK. I'LL KEEP GOING BUT YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THE NEW OWNER...SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. JUST MY GUESS FROM WHAT I OBSERVE. I BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME AND KNOW A LOT ABOUT PEOPLE AND THEIR ACTIONS. NOT TRYING TO BE SMART HERE..JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS. I HEAR A LOT FROM THIS COUPLE, I THINK THEIR LAST NAME IS CASEY FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, THEY SEEM REALLY NICE BUT DO TALK A LOT AND SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF INFLUENCE ON THE OWNER. IT'S VERY STRANGE INDEED. THANKS FOR LISTENING. | |

| My husband and I use to go to the Golden Corral years ago here in Wichita,KS. We decided to go again giving them a second chance. Of course it was under new management as it had been at least 3-4 years. We were very dissapointed once again. It seemed they had plenty of staff however going through the line we stepped in food and the food trays were set out so since they were not covered people just fumbled through them, very unsanitary. We noticed tables were not cleaned off around us and all in all the place looked dirty as did the staff. We know we can go to any place as Wichita takes pride in their many restrauants that serve quality food and clean atmosphere. I think the health department needs to go out and do an on the spot inspection. It's the one on the west side of town. Instead of "Golden" it should be called the "Dirty" Corral. We are never going back!!!! | |

| I had visited your restaurant located in Smithfield, NC First I tried the steak. The first piece I was given was Raw and I could not eat it. So I asked for another piece. The second piece was very over cooked. So after two tries I gave up on the steak. So I tried the lasagna and a meatball and they both taste so horrible I could not eat it. Then I tried what appeared to be a beef patti and some seasoned rice. The beef patti was terrible and the rice was cold. So I decided it was best for me not to try anything else because I was afraid I would get sick. All the food taste horrible and it was very poor quality. This was the worst experience I ever had in your restaurant | |

| I travel a lot for work. I have eaten in a number of nice golden corral's. I recently ate at the golden corral in Grand Jct. Colorado. What a dump. Dirty tables, dirty behind the food service counter, food that looked like it haden't been changed in a while. The timers or thermometers, not sure what they were,they were in the food prep area, and they were discusting. They looked like they had never been cleaned. They had grease and hand grime on them. The steak that I forced myself to get since other stuff wasn't very apealing was old and tuff. Even getting it rare didn't help. Couldn't finish the first bit of steak so thought that there would have been fresh on the grill. They were still cooking the old stuff. I now live there and I will not eat there again. And may not chance eating at another. | |

| WE LIVE IN GASTOINA N.C. AND WE WENT TO GOLDEN CORRALL AND MY WHOLE FAMILY GOT SICK. NOW SON SAID AAH MA, MAYBE WE CAUGHT THE 24 HOUR BUG. I SAID 24 HOUR BUG MY FOOT.

YOU CAN ASK FOR A WELL DONE PIECE OF STEAK DON'T CUT IT BECAUSE IT'S RAW. YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR THE CORNBREAD, THE WATERMELON, EGG THAT'S NOT FROZEN, HOT CHICKEN, FRESH LETTUCE, I DON'T THINK SO!!! THEN THEY ACT LIKE THEY CAN'T SPEAKA NOAH ENGILISHA YEAH RIGHT!!! OH I CAN SPEAKA THEIR LANGUAGE AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO POST WHAT THEY SAID. I WANTED TO JUMP OVER THAT COUNTER.BUT, JUST SPOKE RIGHT BACK. IF YOU COULD HAVE SEEN HIS FACE. THEN THE MANAGER HE WAS JUST AS BAD AS THE SERVERS. BUT, WHY DO THEY HAVE THE OTHER SERVERS FOR WHAT DO THEY BRING YOU A REFILL ON YOUR DRINK. COME ON NOW. BUT, THE WAITERS WE HAD THAT DAY WERE GREAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MANANGER FOR REAL.. I WOULDN'T LET MY DOG EAT MY LEFTOVERS FROM THERE. CAROLYN | |

| My family and I(a party of three) visited the Golden Corral # 2606 in Clinton Township,Michigan on Friday, 9/02. After paying for our meal, we waited in line to be seated for over 30 minutes. We arrived at 3:30 and it was after 4 before we could get a seat. No one shared with us that there might be a bit of a wait before our money was so eagerly taken. We witnessed food lines where the customers waited over 20 minutes to get seafood and steaks. There was standing room only in that restaurant. I asked to speak to the manager, Dan Kirk. I expressed my concerns to him and he told me he would give me the website to address my concerns. After watching him stand over in a corner talking to another employee, I noticed he was totally disregarding me and my concerns with the restaurant. I approached him to get the info he promised to give me, when he asked me to find another restaurant where I could eat. I quickly asked to have my money returned and he proceeded to attempt to belittle me in front of the other customer. I shared with him that I would report his handling me the way that he did and he quickly retorted with the fact that the complaint would only come back to him as lf my concerns would go no where! Mr. Dan Kirk is a very obnoxious, degrading, narrow minded man whose presence in that restaurant wreaks of the same. To make matters worse, he and his staff stood at the entrance and laughed at us as we left the restaurant. I am telling everyone I know not to eat in that Golden Corral on Hall Rd. in Clinton Township, Michigan. In fact, my family and I went to a nearby Logan Steakhouse and the food was superb and so was the service. I understand it is the only Golden Corral in that area and with the attitude of that management, the demise of that restaurant is inevitable. I shudder to think what his future holds since it is a known principle that whatever you sow you surely get back! There are too many good quality restaurants in the area to be subjected to such foolish behavior from of all persons "Management" | |

| We ate dinner at the Golden Gorral in Bedford Indiana on 09-02-11 We had a terrible experience. I had a chicken thigh and when I went to bite into it blood squirted out of it onto my face. I told the waitress about it and she said she was sorry and would report it to the manager. Then as my Husband wsa eating his steak, He removed a long hair out of it. Again we told the waitress and she said she would let management know and that she was sorry. Finally after 30 minutes and no one coming over from management to talk to us, my Husband had to go chase the manager down. What a joke, had te nastiest attitude ever and was not one bit concerned. All he said wash Im Sorry. Didnt bother to go see that his cook was not wearing a hair net or do anything to make sure he put one on. We are senior citizens and dont get out a lot so we were looking forward to dinner there. We will NEVER visit another Golden Corral again. | |

Once again @ lunch time, they didn't have fried chicken ready I then went Golden Corral in Roxboro,NC & they didn't have fried chicken ready.

| I've been working at the Golden Corral in Fargo ND for a little over a month now. Sense then I have seen many employees come and go. Most of our employees don't when their scheduled cause the schedule keeps changing, so I work long hours there to help out and sometimes I come in on my days off. I don't leave there until I feel satisfied that everything is in order. In the mornings I come in a hour early cause the managers are letting the employees go with out finishing their work. I myself have worked a few managing positions and it has never been accatpable to tell employees they don't have to show up for work and they don't have to find a replacement. My major problem is with my front end manager Mike, after doing a few partys where I should have received comishion my tips were with held cause I wasn't one of the hot servers, and at night he goes outside to get high with a few of our employees. Another problem I have is with my district manager John. He doesn't like me for reasons I don't know. One day I asked him if I could borrow a tot to bus a party room, he said that was fine, the next thing I know a meeting was called and he said we servers aren't allowed to use the tots to which he called me out as an example and said I was defying his orders. Another incident john stopped me and asked me to pick up some mushrooms on the floor, I didn't have a rag on me and I asked to borrow the broom and dust pan he had to which he said no, so I stopped another employee and told them about it because they had a broom and dust pan as well, john then yelled at me in the front of whole store. And today I started work alittle before 10am and was scheduled till 4pm I was cut around noon for reason, other employees that had been there sense 7am and were sick, they all agreed that I was the only one with a clean section and that I was the only one keeping up on stock so I deserved to stay, but John claimed I had given him attitude even though I hadn't spoken to him all day. I like my job but I don't like my managers and there is no called for reason for this behavior. Please help otherwise I may walk. | |

| Screw U Golden Corral in Kissimmee Florida | 7/18/11 |
| The Golden Corral store number 797 at 2701 West Vine Street in Kissimmee Florida I had went there for dinner with some friends, they paid to have dinner then when I got to the register I asked if they has baby back ribs, Vanessa who spoke broken english said NO! And asked me for my $10, I said for what I am not going to eat here I was just going to sit at the table with my friends until they finished eating. She said NO you still have to pay even just to sit at a table, I asked her to call a manager over she yells over the loud speakers for Steve, a few minutes later Steve protrudes from the kitchen area and approaches me and asked what the problem was, I explained to him the situation that I was going to wait for my friends to finish eating that I was not eating because I wanted some baby back ribs. That Goofy bastard also wanted the $10 from me just to sit in the restaurant, he said. That's our policy and marched his ass back to the kitchen. Well I did try to explain to him that I was a local and have been going to Golden Corral for 20+ years, I didn't matter to him it was all about the $10 and no customer care. Well my friends stayed and ate there dinner, I wasn't giving that bastard the satisfaction of getting my $10 dollars I would have rather tossed it out the window of my car while driving down the road then paid it to them. | |

| My husband and I eat at the Hermitage TN Golden Corral a couple times a month. Usually it is pretty good but it is typical for it to be " barely OK" from time to time. The last few times we have been there the food was not worth eating even if it had been free let alone having to pay for it. The food bars were dirty, the sweets were terrible, the dishes and silver nasty. You had to look thru the pile to find a clean set to use and then not sure if you should. The bread pudding which is always a favorite was brown rubber. The steak was 1 big piece of raw fat. The baked potato was so old it was yellow inside and cold. Salad bar was so nasty I could not believe it. There was food in the floor, ice cream all over the counter with an out of order sign in front of it. A used dirty plate sitting on the counter by the bread as you went into the kitchen I could go on and on but one thing is for sure, I won't go back. I did ask the waitress if the manager , preferrably the owner was there. She said a the owner had been there earlier but he wasn't in the store real often. I CAN NOT believe he could allow this to happen. I know how good it can be and to see it like this was very sad. She said well I can't say anything "I just work here". I believe if the owner does't care enough to see that his restraunt is doing well then why should the employees. I have been to the Pittsburg PA store near the mall many times, usually at lunch time and it is always CLEAN, food is hot and tastes great. The employees are nice and they act like they are glad to be working there. I saw a lady there who I guess was the manager, hugging and talking with the old folks when they come in. It was good to see someone so friendly and kind to the customers and making sure they were able to get what they needed. Maybe Golden Corral corporate and all the other managers need to take some lessons from their employees at that store in Pittsburg. Whatever they are doing is certainly the best in my book. Why can't they all be like that? | |

| Golden Corral, VA - BRISTOL - 3104 LEE HIGHWAY - 689 ...The family and I ate at the Bristol, Golden Corral, last night, 072411, in my opinion; it was the nastiest restaurant I have ever eaten at. Golden Corral is where we prefer to eat. Please get someone to clean up this place or maybe someone will get sick from eating at this particular location. We looked for some reviews before entering and we found evidence that it got terrible reviews back in 2008. We figured in three years the place should have made the adjustments (WRONG). I wish this could have been a good news story. | |

| At my last visit with our friends and their families on Sunday 31July at Golden Corral in Ft.Myers we had the most horrible dinning experiences as far as customer service is concern.We were set by the manager in charge at a certain area with three tables behind the bakery.We were just settling at our tables when one of your servers start taking her shoes off in the main dinning room area and the other servers were laughing at her. It is outraging that we had to wittiness your server that with no shame or concern for us as customers was getting comfortable taking her shoes off and arranging her socks. We had dinned in numerous places in US and abroad and never had seen such horrible behavior from any of the restaurants staff. We had moved in another dining area and to our surprise the same server that had publicly offended us became our server.I wish our horrible experience had ended here but it only got worst.She lacked professional appearance , her blouse was lifted to reveal her tattoo on her lower back , one thing we did not need to see unless we were dinning at the tropical beach place were all servers wore bathing suits.At all times we were with out drinks and the table was never clean of our dirty plates.We had to ask the other servers for drinks , and fortunately we had got one of your other servers that was very professionally and every thing we would expect from a server( unfortunately we do not remember her name , but she has blonde hair and spoke with an accent).We had left her a $ 10.00 tip that she did not want to take , but we insisted , because we were not going to tip our original server not even a penny.We did complain about the tattoo to the nice lady , and she suggested we should talk to the manager in regards to that matter. We wish Golden Corral would hire more professional servers and provide more classes on customer service , professional appearances and maybe keep only the employees dedicated to their jobs.Also maybe the managers on staff should pay more attention to their employees and their behavior in the dinning room area . This should bring to their attention that when you serve a good food you should provide the same good customer service. One unsatisfied customer that is willing to return once some changes are made , because your food is good . | |

| My husband and I went out to eat at the Golden Corral on 288 in Denton,Tx.We were very disappointed in the food there.The meatloaf was awful,the potroast was dry,the crutons for the salad were soggy.Alot of the food trays were empty,and the serving lines were nasty.I was going to get some ice cream and the machine was so nasty looking,it ruined my appetite.To pay $28.00 I expected alot better quality of food.We would have ate better food if we had gone to McDonalds.We won't go back!I would like our money back! | |

| Ate at the Golden Corall 3months ago, bad service, dirty food caked on clean plates, crumbs on the table and floor where we were seated as well as a foot long hair in the cold, crusted meat loaf my husband was getting ready to eat! | |

| "Hello! My name is Carol, and I have come to Golden Corral restaurants to let you know about a HUGE world-wide event we are building at www.onesinalifetime.com. And we want you to be part of it! On November 11 of this year, at 11:11:11 the time and the date are all "1" (11:11:11 on 11/11/11). We have begun a party to celebrate that moment, and to recognize in that moment that, like the time and the date, we are all "1" in our humanity. We are contacting you, and as many other restaurants and businesses as we possibly can, to offer you participation in the global event that we are organizing coincident with this years Veterans Day on 11/11/11. As this particular date is unique in our history since the signing of the Armistice (not just the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, but also this time, the 11th year) we have formulated and are now introducing to the world the concept of recognizing on that uniquely numbered date, and at 11:11:11, that like that time and date, we are all 1 in our humanity. This is not a numerology-driven event, but simply something that began as a fun idea to recognize the time and date as a ONES in a lifetime event. When connected to the annual celebration of our Veterans the event has taken on a much deeper meaning. We would ask that you let us know what plans your restaurant has for that date, and If you would plan anything even MORE unique than usual to recognize this particular Veterans Day as a ONES in a lifetime event. We will be featuring promotion of Veterans Day events around this world of ours, and would be honored if you would engage with us to help magnify this date. We do have sponsors who are registering with us and want you to join in. I would love to hear back from ANYONE who would like more information, and am excited to make new friends all over this world. I am looking forward to meeting YOU. And we are looking forward to you and your friends joining us in this world-wide party. A member of our team of enthused participants will work with you to formulate and promote your event, and we look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience… The 1 party you do NOT want to miss." You can see more about our event as it develops at www.onesinalifetime.com See you there! THANKS !!! | |

| I have been a customer of Golden Corral in Middletown ohio since it opened. The manager is excellant and aims to please. The servers are excellant and that is what keeps us going back. Recently we noticed one was no longer there and found out she was fired due to a secret shopper giving her a 5 out of 12 on her shop. She had been employed with them for 9 years. I couldnt believe that they would dismiss her for that reason. I asked the manager and he would not comment on the dismissal. I called corporate in Cincinnati and told them I couldnt believe they would fire her over that. I then asked to speak to someone over the 2 I spoke to in customer service. They suggeted I talk to the general manager over that location. He never returned my call so I asked to speak the the Ceo Craig Maier. Today The customer service person called me and told me neither Jace Sticdorn or Craig Maier wanted to speak to me and felt I was harrasing them. What kind of corporation would handle a situation like this. I have been a long time customer and felt I deserved to be heard but apparently the customer isnt important to them nor is their employees. I called 5 other well known restaurants and spoke to their managers and they said they would never fire anyone for that reason and that they would bring up the shop and let her know what she got but certainly would not fire her. I dont know if this the all of the Golden corrals policy or just the Cincinnati locations policy but for sure it is very unfair. I would recommend to anyone not to work for a corporation that treat dedicated people like this employee was to ever work there. I cant imagine the stress that these workers are under wondering who is next to be fired. | |

| Spouse and I went to Golden Corral in Sacramento Ca, 7700 Stockton Blvd for senior early bird special which is 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. We arrived at 3:55 P.M. The cash register indicated 4:03 P.M. and it was actually 3:57 P.M. by our cell phones and watch. The manager said they went by the time on the receipt and there nothing he could do about it. We felt ripped off. Golden Corral need to synchronize the cash register to the correct time. We noticed another person had the same problem in June 2009 and the problem has not been resolved. | |

| Golden Corral senior early bird special is 2:00 P.M.to 4:00 P.M. My spouse and I arrived at 3:55 P.M. The cash register receipt indicated 4:03 P.M. Our cell phones and watches indicated the correct time as 3:57 P.M.when we paid the cashier. We explained to the manager that the time was not correct and he said he could not do anything about it. The buffet needs to synchronize the correct time with telecommucation, internet, television and media. We go there often. We feel that we were ripped off. There was another similar situation in June 2009 posted for review and it appears that the problem has not been resolved | |

| I went to the Golden Corral location in Westland Michigan for the first time on 02/26/2011 and was very happy with the food, so much that i put a $200.00 deposit down on a $928.12 catering order for a wedding that was going to be on July 2,2011. but things happened, so on June 13th i called the Manager Dave i wanted to cancel, and get my 200.00 dollars back, he was very rude to me, he told me that i could not have a refund, eventhough the bill that i have says nothing of the sort, which i informed him of.He then sated that it was no need for me to talk to him, it was up to him and he is not giving me my deposit back,he also said that the only person that i could speak to was the owner that was out of town at this time. He was very rude.he would not even give me any numbers to call to speak to anyone about this . I am very upset, so i called another golden corral and this manger even though this had nothing to do with his store gave me corporate's number, which was more than the westland mgr would do. If i had something that i singed that stated no refunds that cool. but i dont, and i want my money back. How can he keep my money when it is 3 weeks before the event that he has not even order the food for where is the loss on this store's part? what have they lost besides a customer, is it worth my 200.00 dollars that they are trying to keep. | |

| I went to your store in Aberdeen, NC; on June 18 for an interview, and was directed to have a seat at at table, because the managers had a meeting. I sat waiting for 2 HOURS!!!!! . I sat there patiently for a manager to talk to me. It seem like an eternity went by. The only person who asked if I was o.k. was a server (Deborah. It was not until later that another manager (i Presumed he was the G.M.) came to talk to me. He said" i will go and find the kitchen manager" So he left. It was not until another 30 minutes that the kitchen manager came up to me. first off,I could tell that he was not interested in talking to me. I noticed when he walked up to me, he paid more attention to a white female server(winking and blowing kisses at her), than trying to talk to me about getting the job. Secondly, when he did "interview me", if I can call it an interview, he went into a rant about what type of work they do at GC and the type of work I do at my previous job. What the two companies do in volume of business is not the point, the point is they had a few openings and I felt like I was qualified for the position and should have gotten that position. I had so much to to say, but at the end of the bogus interview, i could not say anything, because I was very offended by this manager. This person should not be a manager. Please take the time out to investigate this matter. | |

| WE WERE AT THE HERMITAGE TN RESTURANT, PAID $45.00 TO EAT BREAKFAST, THEIR WAS NO FOOD PREPARED, THEY WERE STILL TAKING OUR MONEY. THE MANAGER WAS IN A SEPARATE DINING ROOM NOT DRESSED IN HIS WORK ATTIRE. WE ASKED TO SEE A MANAGER TO GET A REFUND. WE WERE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE ASKING FOR REFUND, THEN HE INFORMED ME HE COULDN'T REFUND OUR MONEY HE HAD A POLICY THAT HE WOULD PUT IT BACK ON OUR DEBIT CARD, WHICH TAKES THREE TO FIVE DAYS. WE WANTED REFUND TO GO ELSEWHERE...THEIR WERE PEOPLE WAITING AT THE HOT BAR FOR FOOD AND IT WAS BARE, NO SALAD SETUP YET. THE EMPLOYEES WAITING ON TABLES SAID THEY HAD 2 OR THREE PEOPLE CALLED IN. THAT SHOULDN'T SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE PLACE, THE MANAGER SHOULD HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS NO BREAKFAST DUE TO LOW WORKFORCE AND NOT TAKEN OUR MONEY. NOTHING WAS BEING DONE. WE WAITED 45 MIN FOR FOOD GAVE UP AND WENT ELSEWHERE. HE SAID HE HAD LONG LINES BE PATIENT, THEN WALKED OFF. THERE WERE NO LONG LINES AT ALL. AS A MATTER OF FACT PEOPLE AT REGISTER WERE INQUIRING WHY EVERYONE WANTED REFUNDS??? WHAT A MANAGER. NEVER BEEN TO A RESTURANT THAT DID NOT HAVE FOOD. ALSO THERE RATING WAS 86 AFTER A REPEAT VISIT FROM INSPECTORS!! THEY HAD VERY STAINED UP DRINK GLASSES AND I PICKED UP PLATES THAT WERE GRITTY WHAT IS GOING ON, SHOULD CLOSE UP CLEAN UP AND FIRE THAT MANAGER. WE WANT A REFUND AND CALL ME @ 615-969-2050 DRLENE HALL VERY DISCUSSED... | |

| To who it may concern My wife and I just went to the Golden Corral at Fort Wayne Mayszille RD. 6/06/11 The food and conditions there were terrible. The bread was left ot and under a heat lamp that made it harder than a Rock! The Buns were smashed in very bad condition as well as very hard well! The entire desert era dirty unclean and food was on the Floor. The salad looked old and was not cleaned properly The baked Potato's were not washed and still had mud on them. The chicken was not cooked fully and was cold in the middle. I could go on as to the terrible service and other food conditions!!!! However I will leave that out for now and speak about the reaction I received from the MANGIER when I as well as several others in my party brought these things to the attention of the Manager The Manager smiled at us and Laughed saying he understood well doing nothing to rectify the problems we sat there for an hour waiting to see if he would get some one to take care of these problems and Not one was addressed . The milk was warm the To co meat over cooked and burned people were getting up and asking for their money back and the Manager refused to comply well saying he understood the situation well doing nothing . Then he after an Hour was over playing with a coworker well his customers were dealing with the problems I called him over one last time and stated I would be contacting your office . To this he shrugged his shoulders and said well have a nice day sir. Then he laughed and walked off. Look I work in food service for five years in the Navy and if I ever did or acted like that my Galley would be closed down with out question!!! There are several food safety violations here at this location not to mention the entire staff including the manager needs to be retrained in food prep and over all cleanliness!! I will be contacting the health department . Over all review Super poor beyond anything I have ever dealt with in any kind of service very angry and would like a response back!!!! | |

| Golden Corral should list their hours on line, or record them on the phone - example: "Our hours are: Weekends - Open from _____ am to _____ pm Weekdays (Mon-Fri) - Open from _____ am to ______ pm " I have tried to telephone them (early) on the weekend and again today (Tuesday) morning at about 9 am, and no one (not even a recording) answers the phone either time I called so I can find out their hours. They are not listed ONLINE. I have to find out their hours, as we are planning to go their on Father's Day and I don't know if I should say we will meet their at 10 am, or 11 am, or even 9 am. I need a clue. Do you know that in North Carolina, they open for breakfast at 7:30 am and I wish they would at least open around here, in Illinois, by 9 am. - especially on weekends. | |
| Manuel | 5/23/11 |
| I just want to see if there is any plans in the near future to build a Golden Corral here in Midland, Tx. Every time we want to go eat at a Golden Corral we need to go to Odessa, which is about 30 miles away, and it's always packed. If it's at all possible, we would like to have one here in town. Our city would be a great place for restaurant with the caliber as Golden Corral. I greatly appreciate your consideration. Thank you for your time. | |

| i am a former employee of golden corral. i worked there for 2 months i love the jobs the other employees were out going easy to get along with and hard working. wheni first started working there i was not properly trained before beginning work and my co-workers helped fill me in on the details. i am a single mother of 1. i have not had a job in 2 years and was very excited to get back into the work place. the owner deb, all of the employees and scared of saying or looking the wrong way when shes there. i personally had no issus with her but her son john age 20 is a manager there he is very unprofessional he picks on employees he allows his favorites to leave early call in with no consequences. another lady who is a server daughter works there they are both hard workers but the daughter is unreliable yet no consequences because of her mother if you speak up for ur self they cut ur hours i am a single mom struggling to pay the bills i have i cant afford a cut. though this was not the issuse. on easter sunday i tried to request off but didnt get it we were told by management that if we didnt come in or stay late that u would be off the schedual. i stayed late missed easter completely. i stay late worked hard and was never late for work. the manager mike taunts and tease and calls the employees name on time he grabbed the employee name racheal by the arm she works the line and is also pregnant because she didnt want to work in the cold prep. for 3 weeks straight i worked 6days straight with only one off say and they only paid me for 5 and when i asked for a print out of my hours they were relentless to give them to me. on sunday i called in to work at 9:30 and then again at 10 still no answer then again at 11:45 i spoke with john i let him know i was not going to beable to come in cause i had no babysitter and he informed me that i might be written up and i apologized and said that was fine and hung up. i was worried about being written up cause i planned on that being the first and last time. we got paid on monday may 2,2011 i went to work checked the schedual and they had taken me off the schedual completly. no one told me i had been written up and when i asked the manager mike why i was taken of the schedual he said cause i called in with all of the stress from the weeks following and the fact that my check was short because of the screw up i quit. when i let the golden corral i was in tears and could not believe the event leading up to that but i would like for someone to contact me involing this issue. deyvada@gmail.com please and thank you. | |

| 3951 William Penn Hwy, Monroeville, PA Arrived at 7:30 PM for the first and last time. We got our drinks and paid for our meal were told to wait for a server who would seat us. Waited 30 minutes, watching servers joking around, texting on cell phones while the line behind us grew, there were plenty of empty available tables. A server walked by and said go seat yourselves.When we picked a table and went to the food stations half of the serving trays were empty, there was no Brisket out, very little meat if any except the fried Chicken which was being refilled every 30 minutes, I asked the manager why there was little food and his response was we ran out at 5:30PM, I said why didn't the employee who rang us up as we pre-paid for our meal inform us you were out of food?? We would have gone elsewhere, I said this is unacceptable he mumbled and walked away. The food is over salted undercooked and disgusting, the dishes were dirty. How is it that these establishments stay in business with all the complaints??? Some one needs to shut these places down, the Health Code Violations are Blatant!! Will never go back!!!!!!! | |
| Will Never Go Back | 5/10/11 |
| My family went to your Sedalia, MO location for Mothers Day 5/08/2011. None of us will ever go back. It was unbelieveably dirty. I realize it was a busy day, but, the cashiers were taking money with no place to set, the food bars looked like children were in charge, empty and food all over them, floors were pathetic, the server was the only bright spot in the restaurant. From reading some of the other comments, you need to take a look and change. | |

I'm especially interested in pourchasing the bright colored dishes they use. I need the name f the pattern & a retail source. Can anyone help me??? | |

| frustrated customer | 4/20/11 |
| My family and I go out to eat at Golden Corral in Georgetown KY about once a week, I enjoy the food & the service from the waitresses. One common problem keeps coming up everytime we visit its the manager RAY WOLFE. Everytime we go in there we see him belittling his employees & rolling his eyes at customers and employees. We even seen him put his hands on an employee and slam doors in their faces. Last time I knew it was illegal to put your hands on someone like that for any reason. If you want a good dining experince there I would suggest going there on Ray Wolfe's nights off which I believe to be Mon & Tues. | |

| I was at the Westland Michigan Golden Corral. WHAT A PIT!!!!!! The floors are dirty, Management is very Rude I was told he is the owner. He is rude to his employees and customers. Needs to learn how to talk nicely to people. I will never go back there again. Fire Mountain or Old country Buffet are right up the road from there. | |

| My daughter had dinner with her father last night, around 6 pm, couple hours later she start getting sick. Tried to call the place (2pm the next day) to let them know my daughter got sick, girl who picked up the phone recommend i should speak to the manager and put on hold for at least 15 mins, and can still hear their conversation that manager refused to go to the phone. what kind of a customer is that? Tried to call them back again and nobody will pick-up....HORRIBLE....RESTAURANT CARRIES FOOD POISONING & SALMONELLA!!! | |
| Sam Pacific | 4/1/11 |
| I just had lunch with a co-worker of mine in Panama City Florida, and the way management speaks to the workers of this establishment is unreal! It's nasty, food was horrible and I'm just totally upset about this establishment! I could not understand why the management would ever talk to the employees like I observed! Spoke to them like they were animals! I will never go back to the establishment again! | |
| Barbara Castaneda | 3/27/11 |
| I have eaten at Golden Corral before, but tonight was the worst experience even. I was told that Golden Corral is now self serve. Big mistake. I won't go back, and I will not recommend GC to my friends. The Yuma restaurant is not set up for self serve. There is no refreshment island for refills for your drinks. An leaving the dirty plates to pile up until the customer is done is really nasty looking! The whole section was like that. So I know everyone in our area got lousy service. I asked for a refil, on my drink and the waiter forgot about me; or did he? I won't be returning. I sent my comments to the Daily Sun paper. | |

| TO WHOM EVER THIS CONCERNS OR IN CHARGE OF: I am TOTALLY DISGUSTED!!! What the ??? has Golden Corral @ 1301 E. Jackson Ave. in McAllen, TX become? I wanted to THROW UP in this place today. I have never, in so long as I have lived (53yrs old and that’s been a long time) tried to eat or have eaten in such a filthy place. Food all kind, ice cubes utensils all over the floor and never mind the staff chatting away as if there were no customers in the restaurant. All its' staff was just walking over all this filth on the floor as if nothing was there. The liability for this restaurant could have been seriously, really serious! I will never again go back to this place for any kind of meal……HUH!!! NEVER!!! I even took pictures of how dirty this place was at the time. My husband and I visited this establishment with the intent of having a good hot meal. BUT, there were no lemons only 5 yeast bread buns, no mashed potatoes, no corn a lack of many items on the menu. Being that it was 5:11pm one would think they were ready and fully stocked for dinner. WELL THINK AGAIN! The trays to carry ones plates are so old and broken. I took pictures of those trays on top of a counter's ledge, as all the staff that was chatting away and lots people were waiting for their drinks because there were no glasses as I mention below in line just before paying. The counter top were I was paying was so dirty with wet with soda, tea and gods know what else, I could not even rest my purse on it as I reached in to get cash from my wallet, and the clerk! Could have cared less, she just wanted the money. The plates were mostly chipped and cracked; my glass was all broken around the top edge so I had to use a straw so I wouldn't cut my mouth. There were no glasses to serve one’s drinks with; the plates were all dripping with water. WOW...I could go on and on.... I requested to talk to the manager, I showed him the pictures and he wasn't even bothered by my complaint. I know the health department would have truly closed this place at their eyes first glance. I have attached the pictures I took. If this establishment keeps up its looks inside... believe me, it will go down very quickly. I even posted the pictures that I took on face book because of the response the manager gave me. I don't know where he learned his manners either, because my 6 yr. old nephew can say SORRY! better than he could have. Other members of my family also have the same opinions about the cleanliness of this establishment. Again, I am TOTALLY DISGUSTED with the GOLDEN CORRAL at the above said location ... ;( SINCERELY and TOTALLY DISGUSTED Corina L. Alaniz 3/27/2011 | |

| We have a large Real Estate group that has met at the Golden Corral in their private dininbg room once a month for the last two years.Last night we got there to eat and hold our meeting which is published in the Pensacola News Journal twice a week before each meeting and is also listed as our meeting place on our National website and a baptist church is meeting in there. When I ask the manager what was going on his response was they booked tyhe room. I explained this was not possible as we had the room for over 2 years on that night. He said we'd have to meet elsewhere that night a he would not ask them to move. I ask why not, and his answer was they had sent out invitation. I said so, we have ours in the paper? He said he was sorry and that it was their mistake but he would not ask them to move and that we had to move. He did offer to buy us a drink. We were not bought off for a glass of tea and felt like our business was not important to them and that our group was treated shabbly.After all we meet there every month like clockwork and they were a once a year thing he said. Who should have been asked to move? | |

| We were at the local Golden Corral when we saw someone parked in a handicap spot that should not have been. Upon telling the manager he looked at me as if I were making a big deal out of nothing. I was told that he could only call the authorities and I told him that was what he was suppose to do. He walked away from me and when we walked out 20 min later the vehicle was still there, showing that the manager could have cared less about someone who is handicap. | |

| It all starts w/ shitty MGT, then we shut em down. Hey, Im in Bloomington Indiana, where my good friend works and was blatantly sexually harrassed by that stores GM David, dont know his last name but you do. So ill just dub him David the unprofessional, sexual harrasser guy who will soon be outta there in a hurry? Legally OF COURSE. Also this same idiot, talks down to all but his hot young female employes, who he reserves all his inappropriate comments I.E (UNBUTTON YER PANTS)and tuck in yer shirt)__(UNBUTTON YER PANTS) I dont think so. Bad things happen to bad people and corps. Like massive well funded lawsuits, my specialty. Remove him immediatly or you WILL BE SUED Immediatly. Also, dont you want your buisness to thrive, isnt that what its all about. With low rent GMs like David the unprofessional sexual harrasser guy at Bloomington Indiana store, youre failing miserably. We all want him fired directly. Multiple law suits pending. This is not a game. | |

| I LIVE IN GRAND FORKS, N.D. AND EATEN AT THE CORRAL AT LEAST 100 TIMES AND HAVE NOW DECIDED NOT TO EAT THERE AGAIN. EVERY TIME THERE ARE UNCLEAN PLATES ON THE STACKS AND DIRTY ONES SET TO THE SIDE BY OTHER CUSTOMERS. THE LIST GOES ON. THE FINEST, CLEANEST, QUIET AND NICEST ATMOSPHERE WAS IN POCATELLO, IDAHO. THE KITCHEN NOISES ARE LIMITED BY THE DESIGN AND ORIENTATION. RAPID CITY IS ANOTHER POOR EXAMPLE. THE GRAND FORKS CORRAL IS RELATIVELY NEW, HOWEVER THE DESIGN DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE. WISH I COULD BE MORE POSITIVE. IF A CITY HEALTH INSPECTOR DID HIS JOB, YOUR RESTAURANT WOULD BE CLOSED. | |
| KNOWS HOW TO SHOW A CUSTOMER A REALLY POOR TIME! | 2/22/11 |
| Party of 25 reserved the banquet room months in advance. The waitress was upset because she wasn't getting any tips because the room had been reserved for over 1.5 hours (a miscommunication on their part). She practically begged for a tip. The manager (Leon) was rude and lacked any hospitality. For him it was all about numbers and how many he could fit into a restaurant! Never again will I eat at one of these placed - anywhere! I will also tell 20 of my friends! | |

| The golden corral in Yuma, AZ is so dirty...from dirty dishes piled on tables to a filthy floor to say nothing of the restrooms!! How long could it take to run a little vacuum or just bend over and pick up the soiled napkins and spilled food? Gross!! When they run out of a dish, they will finally get another one in the oven which may take over an hour to come back to the buffet!! Not acdeptable. You have a great concept but if you don't shape up and fly right accoridng to the rest of the reviews) you may not be in business very long. In this day and age, people are not only looking for value but if they are spending their hard earned money they also want good food and a clean restaurant! | |

| my husband took me out for dinner at the golden corral in denton, tx tonight for valentines day! i just have to say that i have eaten at golden corral since i was a teenager and this has to be the worst visit i have ever had. first of all they had the silverwere where everyone could put their hands all over them, then they where out of dr.pepper, then when we went to get our food the brisket they gave my husband was all fat and they where out of mashed potatos and when i asked if they had anymore he said one minute and never came back then another guy asked what i was waiting on and i told him he said 5 minutes needless to say it was 45 minutes before they put them in, then when i finally gave up on the potatos i got macaroni that they just put in and it was cold, then i got a peice of corn on the cob and when i picked it up to eat it it looked as if someone took a bite out of it and put it back! the waitress was really nice but not well trained; i asked for a few more rolls since i didnt get to eat anything else she said yes mame and when she came back she still did not have my rolls and then reached across my husband while he was eating and put her armpit in his face while she was trying to remove the plates by this point i can honestly say i will NEVER be back to this location!!! i will drive from ponder to lewisville before i will go back!!!! i was a resteraunt manager for 6 years and i have never seen anything so unprepared or unorganized in my life!!!!! they are lucky i was not a secret shopper because they would have failed horably for food, service, and cleanliness!!!!!!!! | |

| My complaint isn't about the service, or resturant in general. It's about returning phone call's and paper work do to my chipped and cracked teeth. Iv'e been trying to get someone to help me because of this problem. It happened at the Golden Corral in Fort Ogelthorpe Ga last year,Because | |
| | 2/10/11 |
| I dont know what happened with my complaint to you, but I am not happy with my local Golden Corral, in Fort Ogelthorpe Ga. I chipped my tooth and cracked my back tooth., and still haven't heard from the Manager or Insurance company. I went ahead and payed out of pocket, and now would like to be payed back. I'm a good customer, and deserve a response. The day it happened I have witness, and I filled out an Incidence report. I'm not getting any help from anyone. And this happened last year. You can contact me at 706-375-7853. My name is Janice Decker. | |

| The Golden Corral in Pensacola Fl....needs some TLC the entrance smells of something sour it stinks, the carpet needs replacing, the bathrooms are OMG nasty all the time and they smell to high heaven. I Love the food I eat there except " SALT" they seem to have a very heavy hand on the salt shaker. Whatever the season is you almost cannot eat the steaks for it and people who have high blood pressure can not take that much salt. My husband had a heart attack he has to watch his sodium intake... suggestion "CUT THE SALT" besides it is wasting the meat when people can't eat it they throw it away. You may want to try to do some different things to eat as well. I know everything on that menu by heart they serve the same ole desserts all the time BORING.... Try some liver & gravy we like that down here never been cooked at your restaurant that I know of. Different cakes & pies but not that LEMON CAKE that is my all time favorite !!!! GOOD LUCK WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED TRUST ME | |
| Chelsea Mccarthy | 2/7/11 |
| I was eating at this establishment with my husband and my two children, as we began eating we were bombarded by profanity by none other than the general manager Michelle Hickman, racial slurs towards her staff and usage of the F word made my family and i very uncomfortable and unapreciated as a customer. I asked for a refund and they refused to give me my money back, even though it was the genral manger who disrespected my family her staff and your establishment something must be done immediately. My waitress explained to me that, that woman is like that on a daily basis and even talks of slave labor and workers not being compensated in for work hours. I would never think such a prestigious restaurant would have such a dark side | |

| We went out tonight to eat a meal as a family. My husband and I have a 2yr old, 5yr old, and a 4month old.. We ate at the Winchester KY location. As we got settled, I asked for an allergy sheet/ingredient list because my 2yr old has food allergies. They informed me that I was on my own with that.. The food was horrible, all dried up, greasy, cold... Disgusting. What sealed the deal for me, was when I took my 5yr old and 2yr old up to the dessert station. A cook right on the other side of us was talking to her coworkers. She was using very profane language, right where my children could clearly hear her. The 2yr old started repeating her! I went and told the mananger, who seemed not to care and did nothing. I thought GC was family style restraunts. I will never give them my hard earned money again, or let my children be subjected to such appalling service. | |

| It was my first time at Golden Corral and the food was okay kinda cold and it was barely none on the bar.THe mangers were very nasty with each other. And my daughter Ashely went there around november of last year. She said she saw one of the kicthen Mangers go outside and play with a dog go back in and handle the food with out washing her hands.And a coworker of mine went there and said she had a LARGE maggot in her salad. The manger Berverly just sucked her teeth and said i hope none of the coustomers saw this.And also saw the manger Beverly was also acting VERY inappropriate with a fellow employee. And if i cant rember it was a short man who looked very confuse. | |

| I never seen such display of unprofessional management .General manager in canton Ohio is not a people person. She gets rid of her good help .Keeps her pets and when she is not there the other managers can,t find themselves.She is rude to her employees in front of customers I think she brings her problems to work.We don't bring the Family out to experience such Behavior.Seems like this is why they can,t keep the ones that left.We miss them.The other managers are rubbing off all they do is eat constantly.When they should be where they can be found.Food sucks till they want to eat or higher up walk in? Now server can come wrinkled, dirty or any way they want .You need to get some of the ones back that quit because of management and disrespect or Fire all of them start new.We wont be back. | |

| hot hand | 1/3/11 |
| This evening I brought my 6 year old son to Golden Corral in Queensbury New York. The location is new, i think it has only been open a few days. After waiting in the line and getting our drinks, paying and finding a seat we headed up to get our meal. I was pushing the tray along the ledge. The ledge is NOT wide enough to do so. The tray slid up the ledge causing the bowl of very hot clam choweder on my tray to slide down and spill all over my hand. My hand was burned badly. An accident report was filled out and i was provided with an ice pack and burn cream and coupon for "next time" i come in. I asked for the temp. of the clam chowder to be taken and asked that they let me know how hot it is. They said they would "get right on that". After waiting and waiting they never came back. Horrible experience and there will not be a "next time". | |

| I've been going to the golden corral in enid,ok my whole life and I have never had a better steak in my life the cook james watkins was so sweet and cooked my steak perfect!! I've always gotten a burnt or not done steak but he's steaks were perfect! And the manger Rachel was so nice to me and made sure things were running smooth. If it wasn't for them two my experience would have been the same as always!! Thank you james and Rachel!!! | |
| Jearim Flores | 12/13/10 |
| I was at the Golden Corral in I-20 yesterday Dec. 12 @6:15 and my wallet was stolen while I was paying. I immediately notified the manager and they looked in the recording and saw that the person that was in line behind me took it. The manager used the intercom to advise the customers that a black wallet had been lost and they had evidence on surveillance. This action alerted the thief and instead of calling the police, the manager just send someone outside to write the license plate #. I could have recovered my wallet, had the manager chosen to call the police instead of allerting the thief that we were going to call the police and that they had an option to turn the wallet in and no questions would be asked. Your restaurant did act appropriately and should have to pay the costs for the documentation that I will have to replace $485.00 for taking so stupid actions in regards to this. I expect to hear from someone from your office ASAP in regards to this matter. The police is investigating everything now. jflores_98@hotmail.com | |

| Went to the GC on w. Irlo Hwy in Kississime, Fl. Well I wasn't expecting a five star meal but I was expecting edible food. The kids managed to not eat anything from the buffet. The food was disgusting to look at and the buffet was in need of a wash down. Cleanliness was not on the menu at this GC. Oh and the kids would not eat any desserts because they too look and smelled like H$LL !! When I spoke with Darren the manager he told me ( in front of a line of customers ) "too bad" and then gave me a phone # to GC HQ. | |

| This complaint is for the Ramsey St. restaurant in Fayetteville, NC. I have visited this location twice and will not go back to that location, I choose to travel across town to your Skibo location. The first time I thought thy were having a bad day, but this Sunday was the worst. The staff made excuses for everything, the problems started from the entrance. There were dirty trays, the employee said it was water from the ice pan, well there was black dirt on the tray, she did'nt even look, so it must be a regular, dirty dishes and silverware, at the juice station no clean glasses, not 1, none at all, the temp. person was asked for glasses, she went to the register and brought 1 glass gave it to the man in front of me and walked away leaving us (4-5 people) to figure it out, I called to her she kept walking, the served said they were washing glasses 8am in the morning,the cook at the steak station was serving overcooked burnt steaks, I told him no thanks, and there were no other steakes on to be served, the omlet person had egg shells everywhere and used dirty towels to wipe out the frying pans she used to cook the omlets, the station was dirty, I say the temp. person walking by and asked her to inform the manager of the condition of the omlet station and that there was not enough prep stock for the omlet station so the cook had to go back and forth to the refrigerator as the line grew, I just walked away as my stomach got sicker and sicker. I paid $17.00 for the two of us to be miserable for Sunday breakfast, the worst part was as we were leaving the manager was making excuses for a complaint, just seems like no one cares, so disappointing. | |

| Dick & LeRoss Hulcher - Jacksonville, Fla. | 11/13/10 |
| Mr. Ted Fowler President/CEO Golden Corral Corporation Dear Mr. Fowler: My wife and I eat at your store located at 9070 Merrill Road in Jacksonville, Fla 6 or 7 days a week and sometimes twice a day. My wife is in very fragile health and in a wheel chair. Obviously we couldn't be treated any better or find tastier food or a cleaner place to dine or we wouldn't be here every time her health permits. It has not always been this way. Since Tim Boyle became GM he has improved everything about this store from cleanliness of the bathrooms to the quality of the food. The servers are not only more attentive then before but also extremely friendly & courteous. A/M Billy (front end) was there when Tim was promoted and A/M Lawrence (kitchen) came on board since Tim was made GM. We know many of the regulars who eat there multiple times a week and all are extremely satisfied with the food, service and attention they get from the staff. As I learned in management & leaderwhip schools during my working career you can delegate authority but not responsibility. Tim is always on the ball stopping in on his off duty time to check on things and to speak to and thank his customers. We have eaten in a number of your places here and in other states but none compares with this one and this has come about with Tim's leadership and training of staff. Yes, we are senior ( both 75 coming up) and we consider the employees here as family from Tim to the dish washers and kitchen help who always greet us when geting supplies to using the rest room. All emplyees greet regulars by name coming and going and this store is more like a small town Southern diner than a corporate store. Guests really feel at home here and enjoy themselves returning multiple times. I was a Mess Officer in the Army so 50 years ago and would have won even more awards if I had had a team like this for Mess Sgt. and cooks. They are truly outstanding, beyond reproach and a "Golden Asset" to the Golden Corral Corparation Based on mamageent and leadership guidelines Tim is responsible for this. We regulars realize that Tim will probably soon be recognized with a promotion but # 632 will not be the same without him Please commend him and his staff in the highest possible Manner Sincerely Yours, Dick and LeRoss Hulcher 8348 Bengalin Ave. Jacksonville,Fl 32211-5116 Phone 904 / 721-3286 | |

| Obviously Corporate is not reading the reviews. Golden Corral is horrible. Dirty a health hazard.......employees don't speak english. Totally disgusting. The lobby smelled like a sewer. Grease on the tables and counter by the cash registered, water poured all over the counter where the drinks are served. Silverware was dirty. Only went there because the granddaughter wanted to go there for her birthday. She who has always loved Golden Corral is now disgusted and never will ask to go there again. Golden Corral Large Florida Ulmerton Road. Where is the health department? Crap all over the ladies room, urine on the toliet seats. floors were so sticky it was hard to lift your feet. CEO of Corporate how about going on "Undercover Boss" to one of these disgusting restaurants. I will bet that you would not bring your family or close friends to Golden Corral. Beware folks ........... if you insist on going to Golden Corral wear a hazmat suit! | |
| Kristina | 11/3/10 |
| Last night we came in with a party of 10 an everyone in our party were disappointed in how the cleanliness of the Gold Corral was in Largo, FL Ulmerton Rd. Lets start from the front at the door. It smelled like sewage, grease on the counter by the registerand the walls. Water on the counter where they fill our drinks. Not mention the floor was gross! You couldn't walk without your feet sticking to the floor! I mentioned this to the waitress and she blew me off! The hamburgers were not completely cooked all the way through. The steaks werent cooked to the way I would like it because i couldn't communicate with the staff because not one of them spoke english! Our waitress was cleaning off the tables and would pick up the plates off each table and we caught her licking her fingers when food got on her hands! (NOW THAT IS GROSS!) Then she was serving people drinks and rolls! I lost my appetite at that moment! My 2 yr old had to go potty so we go to the womens bathroom and human feces was left all of the baby changing table in which had been there awhile! My friends little girl had to go potty and there was urine on the seat! Floors were sticky in the bathrooms too! Toilet paper all over the floor! Needless, to say I felt like I was in a very gross enviroment in which I will never recommend this place again, nor will I come here! My daughters birthday was yesterday and this was where she chose to go for dinner! Never again! I really thik corporate should look into the cleanliness of their resteraunts and be a little more on top of it! Stop hiring people who cant understand what you are saying because communication is a big thing in a restraunt business! The prices are rediculously high too! | |

| GOLDEN CORRAL ON RAMSEY ST. IN FAY., NC IS PRETTY GOOD FOOD WISE. MY PROBLEM IS THEY HAVE NO CHAIRS TO HOLD A BABY CARRIER. I'VE BEEN IN OTHER RESTURANTS THAT HAVE HIGH CHAIRS THAT CAN BE CONVERTED TO HOLD A BABY CARRIER SECURELY. I DID NOT LIKE HAVING TO PLACE MY MONTH OLD GRANDSON ON THE FLOOR WHERE SOMEONE COULD ACCIDENTTALLY TRIP OVER HIM OR DROP SOMETHING ON HIM. GOLDEN CORRAL IS SUPPOSED TO BE FAMILY ORREINTED. FOR SAFTY SAKE THEY NEED TO GET SOME OF THOSE CHAIRS. | |

| If there was a Crap rating on it, I would mark this one.. My wife decided to take me out this time and what a desaster it was. We went to Golden here in Moses Lake,Wa and thoght it was the shrimp night, well first off there was no shrimp so we got the salty steak instead, tryed to choke that down and 20 min latter still no shrimp, by the way it is only 6pm so you'd think there would be plenty of shrimp, any how my wife decided to try a salad, well if the Tamatos have mold on them that means there not washing them which means there not washing the vegatabales, she did ask to see the Manager but he was MIA . This was the staw breaker for us. My poor wife she only wanted to take me out for once insted we were reduced to a sandwich from Subway , Not the very best but hay my wife tryed..

| My husband and I are retired business people..been going to the Johnson City, Tn. restaurant for over 3 years.....always good food and great service....especially from Karen and Margo. On June 12,2010 we witnessed the manager, Chris, verbally abuse Margo, in front of the entire restaurant until she was in tears!!!!!!!!!!!!This is a seasoned waitress, not a girl, and very good at her job. There is no excuse for his unprofessional behavior! I suggest you look into this......If you need any more information my phone #is 423-477-3474. | |

| my daughter works at one of your stablishments. she was waiting on a group of people. air conditioning is not up to parr. the customer told my daughter to go wipe off her face bacause she was too sweaty to wait on them. please! not only is she working her butt off, but in a place where the air conditioning is out in half the restaurant. the manager agreed with the customer, and told her she would not want her waiting on her as well. my daughter called me on her break, crying. I try to stay out of it and give her positive advise. the same manger left work to go to lowes... it is very hard to listen to the way managers treat employees. this is not the first incident. she belittles employees and appears to be a racist where is corprate? | |
| carla | 6/19/10 |
| I have just read the above complaints. I too have witnessed the abuse the managers have given to the employees at golden coral. My husband eat there on a regular basis, and have had nothing but excellent service from the servers, but we have seen the terrible way the managers yell at these young children. it is very upsetting to see the way they treat these kids. the servers come back to wait on us and we can tell they have been crying. plus, some of the customers are so mean to them. why the managers do not take more responsiblity in the service of employees instead of sitting around and eating all the time. why are they not fired? my husband and I go to golden corral for the food and the friendly service. GET RID OF THE MEAN MANAGERS | |
| Rosemary | 6/21/10 |
| Just ate at Golden Corral dirty plates, bowls, and silverware. This was at the Shiloh Illinois location. My husband ordered a piece of steak well done he cut into it and blood came out! If you like your steak well done you can understand how gross that is! He then opted for a piece of pepperoni pizza he bit into it and a piece of paper saying Made in the USA came out!! He complained to the manager and nothing was done! They left the pizza on the buffet!! We are done with Golden Corral! We always hope the dishes will be clean and they never are! That was the last chance! | |

| Me and my family went to golden carrol in Rockford IL, we got in line to get a well a done steak and fried shrimp we got to the table and we cut into the steak it was raw and the shrimps where over fried when we got to the rolls they where like rubber. So we asked the waitress to get the manager, when he got to the table we complained to him but he had an attitude that he didn't care. So we asked for a refund and he said i dont give refunds i responded that we didn't eat our food and he walked away. Again i asked the waitress what was taking so long she got the manger and he said that he was waiting for the police and i said why he said because you were yelling at me and the lady at the next table said to the manager she did not yell at you and you should refund her money the waitress picked the plates ask her he kept repeating him self. The police got their after closing time but nothing was done he told us this was a civil matter. If you ask me golden carrol has gone down hill. We have spread this to all our friends and family its not worth the money. | |

| Upset Customer | 8/18/10 |
| I had heard that Golden Corral had very good food from several people so I decided to go on line to see if we had one in Ct. According to Google, there was 1 shown in Groton, Ct.so a friend & I decided to go there only to find out that it hasn't been there in about 7 or 8 years according to the manager of the current restaurant that's there now. He said that he's called G.C. to get them to discontinue having it on the computer but to no avail. That was not pleasant since it took us 1hr. 20min. to get there. I think someone at the Corporate Office should make an attempt to do something about this situation.We felt bad for the manager of this other restaurant because we knew this was not the first time that this happened. | |

| I like Golden Corral restaurants. I know they have one in Springfield, MA. Have you considered other locations in MA or southern N.H.? Springfield is about a two hour drive for us. Please think about a location in Haverhill, No. Andover, Methuen,MA., or Plaistow or Salem, N.H.? Thank you! | |

| STORE 2410 CLEARWATER FLORIDA IS THE WORST STORE OF THE LOT. I HAVE COMPLAINED 4 TIMES TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THE FOOD IS EITHER UNDER COOKED OR ONLY COMES OUT 1 TIME IS AND HOUR. MOSTLY IT IS GREASEY AND UNDER COOKED OR RAW. EACH TIME THE MANAGER SAYS I KNOW AND WALKS AWAY. I FILLED OUT THREE SURVEYS WITH THE WORST RATING I COULD GIVE AND TOLD ALL THE PEOPLE I KNOW NOT TO EAT AT THE STORE. | |

| I have repeatedly seen the manager at Golden Corral in Georgetown Kentucky degrade and belittle his employees. His name is Ray Wolfe. I suggest that people not eat there. After speaking with some of the employees they informed me that he does not give his employees their required breaks and works them longer than he legally can. I have seen other customers say things to him about his rudeness and disrespectfulness to his employees and even a few friends of mine have contacted corporate but nothing has been done. Would you Mr. Wolfe like to be treated that way, or how about your family???? I have seen the employees cry and become distraught. In this economy you cannot afford to quit your job but you DO NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED IN THIS MANNER. I believe if this does not stop from occuring I will gather other patrons of this restuarant that has seen the ABUSE to picket in front of the store. | |

| I live in Sanger Texas, just north of Denton Texas. My church Missions Team has been meeting at The Gloden Corral on loop 288 at 9:00 one Saturday morning a month. WE generally have anywhere from 8 to 20 members there. During that time, at least five out of every six times there is either NO bacon or like this morning, a few( six or eight) small pieces, like a half a slice. Also, in that same three years the cost of a breakfast buffet has increased from about $7.99 each to $10.99 each and we were told this morning that the cost of coffee has increased $1.00. This is completely rediculous. You have priced yourselves out of our market, we will not be back and I will personally be sure to NOT reccomend you to anyone, untill you do something to get your prices more in line with this area. | |
