I’ve always wondered why people decide to go to
this place. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this place about a
5 for many different reasons. I like the fancy restaurants.
Restaurants that are neat and clean from the time you walk
in, until the time you leave. Golden Corral just doesn’t fit that
description. As many people know, Golden Corral has many
different locations, and I’ve been to about 3 of those, and they’ve all appeared to be the same. Not even 1 out of 3 has shown me
anything different.
I would rate the food a low 6, simply because I’m a very picky eater. The food that I do eat from Golden Corral, always
has something wrong with it. I also eat the same thing: macaroni, steak, chicken, pizza, mashed potatoes & gravy, steak fries,
nachos & cheese, ham. It seems like when you ask them to do one thing, they do the complete opposite. They might not even do
it at all.
Macaroni – It’s always watery, so I ask for some fresh macaroni that’s not too watery, yet they come out with the same type of
macaroni that I didn’t want.
Steak – I ask for it well, well done, or almost burnt. They give it to me half way done, still red in the middle.
Chicken – I’ve never really had a problem with the chicken, but they could serve it hot instead of warm.
Pizza – It taste like pizza dough with no toppings. They need to find a new recipe, point blank period.
Steak fries – They taste like they don’t even drain the grease out of the fries. They look like a shiny piece of gold.
Nachos & Cheese – Either the cheese is cold, or the chips are hard and stale.
Ham – Sometimes it’s salty, but overall it’s good.
I really don’t think that they are sanitary, for the simple fact, they use silver wear instead of using plastic wear. I believe
that it is very unsanitary to do that. Many germs are getting passed around these days. Probably 2.5 million people have eaten off
of just one fork, spoon, or knife. They should put a stop to that. Just because you wash the stuff, doesn’t meant that it always
gets clean. There have been plenty of times that I went to grab a plate, and leftovers are still on the plate, yet it’s sitting there
with the clean dishes. (That goes for a lot of restaurants really.)
Speaking of not being sanitary, their bathrooms aren’t that clean, either. I’ve never been able to go to the restroom
without smelling a nasty smell (air freshener), or finding pee on the toilet seats, and toilet paper all on the flood, or should I say,
used toilet paper. Also, female products are always all over the floor. I know that people should know not to do stuff like that,
but aren’t employess getting paid to make sure that, if stuff like this does happen, it gets cleaned up? Why have a job, and not do
the job? There is no way that the
bathrooms should be looking like
that. It’s disgusting and it’s making
Golden Corral look very bad. The
workers are very well mannered.
They greet you on your way in, and
also on your way out.
Overall, if I had to refer a
restaurant to someone, it wouldn’t
be Golden Corral because they just
have too many things that they
need to work on.
