I have always loved this place foods amazing always fresh and warm. And the rolls are awesome with their butter. Also the staff is some of the most nicest people. Definitely deserves a 5 star.

The food was very good, service was quick and friendly. My only complaint was that the location is showing its age and starting to look worn out and dinghy. Though the buffet areas were kept clean and food was frequently refilled. I would visit again.

Ive not had a bad meal at the Bedford location. Huge variety of food thats always fresh. They dont wait to refill trays until you have to scrape to get what you want - if they see its low, they get a new tray. The wait staff is always happy and they treat you as if you were family. I look forward to going!

Very friendly staff and very well managed. The food is always hot and fresh and the steak was very flavourful, soft and savory!

Too pricey....it wasnt anywhere worth the $18.00 I spent. The service was terrible, I had to get my own flatware. One hostess/waitress stood at a table talking to her friends for 15 minutes as people had to walk around her. My hostess only came by my table twice the whole time I was there. It wasnt that busy at 8:20 pm.I wont waste my money or my time there again.

This was the BEST Golden Corral I have ate at. The food wasnt over salted, the selection was great, and I love the new steak area.

The whole place was not clean! Lots of food on the floor. Surprised we served ourselves and had to handle the same spoons many others had used

April our waitress was amazing!! As soon as the plate was pushed to the side she was there taking it away. She was bringing drinks when only half way done. The food was AMAZING. Was excited to find out their buffet was open.

The waitress kept walking by and crop dusting us. Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for getting a rise out of my family. Dinner and a show!

Very clean much more than the other location no black mold in bathroom could use a bigger size buffet though for more choices of food and less people shoving and cutting in front of you other than that amazing

Review №30

Not sure what happened, but the food just isn’t as good as it used to be. Very expensive. Did we change the dinner rolls? I know that they no longer have that fantastic honey butter. The stuff you’re serving now ain’t worth nothing. Even though dinner time is more expensive, it’s probably when you’ll get the best food

Alot of options and great food. I would like to see them upgrade their restrooms.

Service was excellent and food was the bomb!! The steak had quite a bit of gristle but it was still good!

Wonderful as usual. The Bedford Golden Corral is a stellar establishment for the Lawrence County area, plus they appreciate their military veterans!

The older people were kind. Sadly I cannot say the same about the teenagers they hire who have no manners and big attitude issues. The food wasn’t bad but it can be concerning as to how long it has been sitting out. It was kept clean. The bathrooms could be a little bigger it’s snug when there’s multiple people in there and always smells bad buy some air fresheners for that thanks.

We went down to Bedford this morning, and stopped by Golden Coral for breakfast. The place was busy, but not over crowded. The food was good and hot. The service was friendly. I did notice the manager wandering around the restaurant with his mask tucked under his chin. I also saw him nibbling on some bacon while changing from breakfast to lunch while standing at the buffet. As a manager, my personal opinion is that he should have set a better example for the crew working for him. He was very personable. I am not trying to get anyone in trouble, but given the current situation, I am not sure we will be back anytime soon. I will still give the restaurant 5 stars simply because everything else was great.

Our waitress was VERY friendly and attentive! I wasnt able to go up and get food due to an injury, but the food brought back to me by a friend was all good! Meats were very moist and tender, shrimp was delicious, rolls were a great starter!

Review №51

If you gonna mow down and eat like 4 or 5 plates you already know golden corral is dope. But for most of us its just glorified TV dinner food thats gonna make you feel like doody the moment you leave. The staff is super nice, the buffet (in my experience) has always been pretty much full and they arent ever out of anything, and theres always a huge variety. You know what it is going to be going in, and Im always pretty satisfied with that. My only complaint is the steak. Honestly, it isnt bad. Its actually pretty good. But you ask for medium, you get rare - medium rare; its always a crapshoot. Like Im seriously not expecting perfection, and Im not picky about how my meat is cooked, but they seriously have no clue which piece has been cooked what way. To reiterate, its always *more than adequate for the price* But if you think youre gonna be able to ask for medium-well and not get 50% - 75% pink, youre probably not the target market for golden corral anyway. Golden corral is like the rent-a-center of the food world.You provide exactly what you set out to provide, and thats totally fine. 4 stars.

The quality of food was low this time. Everything tasted a bit off. I had mostly vegetables and salad meh. My husband had ribs and fish and 🍑 cobbler that was delicious.

Unfortunately our experience wasnt as great as we hoped for. Most of the hot foods was cold and not a great selection to chose from. We only saw the waitress once when we seated other than that she never came back to check on us or refill drinks

Usually good food. They have changed back to having you serve yourself from buffet. Although you can ask some to serve you. Table spacing is good. Many staff not wearing face masks, mostly management.

Review №76

Manager shuts down register before all customers have left so you can’t leave a tip on the card if you’re there late. Bring cash for tip. Food was average for Golden Corral. Waitresses were fast and friendly.

Golden Corral is a great place with a fantastic variety of food, and a nice, comfortable atmosphere. I do have to add, however, Bedford is my favorite, and the staff there are always pleasant and courteous, give great service, and make our dining experience satisfying and delicious. ♡♡♡

Food here is usually pretty good however the clientele and people that are paying customers in many cases are fat bubbas and pigs that act like theyve never went to eat in public. Instead they act as if they need a pig trough to slop at.

They didnt get me more rolls, not up to par with dominos >:((((( you know, my mom said its her birthday, but i dont have any presents for her. I wanted to get her rolls from golden corral, but thsy refused to fill my basket. I will not come back here, until i do again. Because my mother takes me everywhere. I am 12 by the way, my mom wanted me to write this review. Happy birthday mother :)

Review №92

Got charged weekend dinner price on tuesday after waiting for someone at the counter where you get drinks and pay for awhile ( 1st thing) ants crawling on the main counter and plates (2nd thing) they changed the Ingredients to cut costs Example their bourbon chicken (3rd thing) they dont serve peppernoi pizza thru the week so if you have kids thats what they eat good luck (4th thing) they dont offer or have A1 steak sause to cut more costs (5th thing). From what I see they are charging weekend prices for the week days with less options than they had before without changing there prices. 1 star is to high for this place

Review №95

Yeah food is good but when I tried to get my disabled mom some bread pudding one of the employees told me to move rudely and started cleaning the counter which was unnecessary there was no mess plus I had to wait in a line already and she cut in front of me tonight which really was the icing on the cake for me when Im already suffering and I hardly leave the house so it really disappointed me to the point I had to go outside while my mom and her friend continued their meal, I was too upset to eat , please hire better employees who wont be rude to me anymore 🙄 its 2020 and people are being colder and the face mask make is so impersonal just my opinion. I should have been refunded for my meal honestly so Im not satisfied and wouldnt come back inside screw it Ill stay home

We stopped in the Bedford Golden Corral after a pheasant hunt. Not expecting much because the Golden corrals local to where we live Near Indianapolis are horrible. To our surprise the food was good and the service was good as well.

Ive kept forgetting to do this but a couple weeks ago we had an absolute amazing waitress, Shannon Wolfe, who noticed everything. She is the first waitress in my husband and my life that kept such close attention to her customers that she noticed that my husband had only taken a few bites of what he had on his plate and asked if he was ok. See my husband has issues with his stomache that just makes it where he cant eat without pain. Shannon stood and talked with us for a little bit then went and talked to her boss and came back with a to go box for my husband ( theyre not supposed to let you take anything out if youre dining in ). She was so amazing with how much she cares. Its good to know that there are some really good people with such caring hearts. It moved us so much that we tipped her way more then we usually tip anyone and she deserved every bit of it. Thank you Shannon Wolfe.
