The filipina lady name Beth cooked for us our own omelette.. & let me tell you she was amazing! Her personality tops it off. Very nice, friendly & inviting. Makes you get seconds. Were far from this Golden corral & my 1st time but definitely will be back just because of her. The breakfast here is way better than the other locations & cleaner around the store. Our server Makilah is very sweet. Ty guys!

HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! FOOD AND SERVICE. THE CHICKEN WAS RAW. TOOK TWO BITES. BLOOD ON THE MEAT VAIN AND BONE WAS BLOODY. IM SORRY BUT EATING A RAW CHICKEN VEIN IS NASTY AND IT KILLED MY APPETITE. I SHOWED IT TO THE MANAGER SHE SAID THAT THATS HOW THE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN IS and wouldnt give me a refund. THE FISH WAS DRY AND RUBBERY THE MASHED POTATOES HAD A BIG GLOB OF FLAKES IN THE CENTER.

Holder Corral was good, here only one thing I wish I can change is the syrup. Need to have a better quality, thicker. I love king syrup myself. I know others do as well its always clean and the waiters and waitress be doing a good job

They cut you tiny children size ham pieces. The employees refused to put out lettuce on the salad bar. I spoke with management. Id have better luck speaking to a wall. The manager dint care. I ask for lemon for my tea never revived it. An there scared it seems to even serve someone ham. An they dont keep rolls out for the customers. An they claim the truck did not run for the supplies of food they needed. Poor management. Uncaring management. On the plus side the desserts was delicious. An I wish they would not put cool whip in banna pudding. Stop putting cool whip on jello. An stop putting cool whip on chocolate pudding. The apple pie was delicious. Some things just dont need cool whip.

Unfortunately I feel like the quality of Golden Corral is consistently heading downward. What used to be one of my favorite restaurants is now one I probably wont go to again. The single bright spot was the service.

My family had dinner at the Golden Corral on the Southside. We had a great experience. The server was a very young man, could pass for a teenager. He was very cordial. He went to great extent to serve us. I also noticed he was extremely polite to all of his other customers and they too were complimented him for his great service. This young man is going somewhere. He took pride in his job and did it so well. Next time I visit Golden Corral I will go to the Southside and hopefully he will be my server. 😊♥😀

The food was good the service was par. The main complaint I had was that my table was directly under the ac vent and my food got cold quickly. And that every time I got up the lady poor more coffee in my cup. And coffee is not like sweet tea. Specially when you like it sweet. Make sure you table is away from the ac unit.

We were there with a large (30 people) group.Food was standard GC buffet, it could be better, but it was no worse/better than normal there...they had 1 guy for that size group bringing drinks & I guess he should have picked up the dirty plates off the tables.I never saw him remove any dirty plates from any table....

Shrimp was crispy. Steak was tender and juicy. Food was tasty. (The following day my friend and I were at a restaurant near Neptune Beach. She ordered fried shrimp and fries and payed $4 more than the buffet at golden corral. There were probably 10 Shrimp on her plate; the rest were fries) 🙄

Went for dinner here last night (a Friday night) as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children). The restaurant was very busy as expected for a Friday night. Despite how busy it was we had a great experience. Our server was attentive and kept our drinks refilled as needed. There was a huge selection of foods to choose from which even my two little ones (very picky eaters) were satisfied with. Overall, it was a great experience and Im certain this will be a top choice for our family to go back to again in the near future!

The senior early bird special is the best. I like this location, their fish & grits, & the banana bread pudding are the BEST items on the buffet IMO.

The steak was amazing. Jumbo shrimp was good and also the tomato and okra stew. Unfortunately it was hit or miss on most of the other hot sides. But all in all you definitely get your moneys worth.

Review №66

The food was great with the exception families who let their kids run all over the place. The employees didnt seem to care when I complained. Not to mention the fact kids were in the area where the hot food is, getting their own when a parent was supposed to be with them, most of them got in line without their mask on. I let the manager know how displeased I was. I refuse to go there again

What can you say. Golden Corral is Golden Corral. Decent atmosphere for a buffet restaurant. The only negative thing is they dont offer military discount.

Br
Review №73

The food taste like it all came out of the freezer with no seasoning at all. I believe all GCs went downhill after the years. I wont be visiting here again.

Review №75

Treated 2 homeless guys & myself to this location off of Normandy & Memorial Blvd. last evening. Waitresses were rude and Food was just plain awful.Fish was undercooked, pizza was overcooked, and even my favorite usually is their Banana pudding and it was super soggy ;( Definitely NOT worth the $36 and change i had spent but I did a great deed by treating 2 elderly homeless guys that were beyond starving so that i was thankful to be there for them. Just wish our food was better than it was last evening

Golden corral is a very good place to eat got good food. But Golden Corrals prices is a little bit expensive. Unless they have a special price for seniors. Otherwise I give the highest rating I can give for Golden corral. If they had the prices of 5 to $7 then that wouldnt be so bad. But since theyve got the prices of 10 to $20 thats getting too high for one person regardless if its been a senior or not thank you God bless.

Golden Coral in Jacksonville is very crowded. Social distancing at tables is observed, but the place is packed, long lines in all food courts. Food is delicious and our waitress served us above a normal encounter. She was fast, friendly and had a great sense of humor.

Went for a business meeting for late lunch. I was unaware that steaks are not available until after 4pm🤷‍♂️. Everything went extremely well otherwise. I left full and satisfied. Mask required away from eating table. Lines for food are marked with enter & exit signs and ropped/chained. Waitress was ideal and we extended our gratitude for her excellent work. Had bags of blue cotton candy. 😊👏. Mos def return .

Review №96

When we first walked in there wasnt anyone around at the register to take our order ,but there was a sign saying please be seated when we went to find a table we asked one of the workers how it worked if we didnt pay first so we had to return to the front and by then a few people had gotten there .. We paid and felt better ... The food was wonderful but the people werent quit friendly I understand they were busy but still even with masks on their eyes could at least shine a bit Just kidding I loved how you had it set up it was easy flow for most but a few had a hard time .. I was just happy to see Golden Corral opened now you need to reopen the one in Orange Park
