This is the cleanest Buffet I have been to in 10+ years and the best tasting one i have found. Our waitress for a party of 10+ was so tentative, on point with refills and plate removal and even chatted with us a bit.Family suggested meeting here. I went solely for that expecting my usual disgust with this franchise and was quite shocked to have the opposite experience this time. I will be going back to this location so maybe have to update later but hoping not.
Best option for a family who all want something different. Our server was super kind and friendly. Very accommodating to everyone. Make sure to have cash to tip your servers as you pay ahead of time and they really do a great job.
We came near to the closing time, because our tour bus just arrived. Becky was gracious to us, and helped us with doing take out, patient, efficient, snd understanding. We left happy with the food, and amazing customer service!
We made the hour long drive just to check this place out and wow! Friendly staff, great prices, fantastic food - my sister on the way out even mentioned how clean everything was kept. We will be back.
Was there Saturday had the Manger/ owner make myself an husband omelets he enjoyed talking to us while I was eating I watched him interact with his staff. He had fun with his staff enjoyed talking with them. Nice guy
My kids love it.They insist on eating here at least 3 times each Summer.Cotton candy is a requirement for each kid.Back during covid there was almost a rebellion.
I kinda wanna take that salad bar lady out on a date , I think her name is Abbey? We can go to the movies or on a long stroll at the park while feeding each other ground hamburger meat and ketchup. Lets just say by the end of the date she would wanna give me a big ol smooth on the mouth. Let me know if shed but up for the offer.
We walked in and there were two workers at the front . We went up to the first cashier . We said two people then the manager came and said that that cashier was only doing pick up orders . Well the cashier disappeared so there was only one girl working . She was helping a lady who was on her phone trying to figure out who she was buying dinner for . The manager didnt seem to care . She couldve had the other girl wait on us . How hard is it when all you ask is how many for dinner. The manager just stood as the line got longer . The line was going clear around the posts , youve wouldve thought you were in line for an amusement park. They didnt want to help us the older couple probably because we would want the senior discount . We walked out , they were more interested in helping the chatty lady on the phone . So I wouldnt recommend them , its not worth the wait . We felt like we discriminated against because we are an older couple . It was very disappointing since we were hungry and had traveled to that restaurant in particular. We couldnt get service . So much for supporting local restaurants.
It was ok. Some of the food was great, some of it was underdone. Great variety. But brussel sprouts were hard because they were underdone and the fried chicken was bloody and undercooked. Usually the quality is better, so hopefully this visit was just a fluke.
I absolutely love this restaurant & can not wait to visit it again. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, even for to-go, & everyone is very nice & takes care of you reasonably.
Very good size buffet with many selections. Everyone wore masks and cept at a safe distance. Plates were brought to the table so you didnt have to go get them. I would definitely go back again.
I am normally a big fan of GC but yesterday my experience is starting to change my mind. 1. Picked up a plate from the plate stack and it was still dirty. Not the end of the world, things happen so I just grabbed a different one. My biggest issue was that whoever was working the steak grill yesterday had no idea how to cook a steak. And this is the main reason I go to GC. I like my steak cooked medium well too well. And every time I asked for this I would get a cut of steak that was cooked medium rare to medium at best. When I asked him if he could look at a little more he refused and just told me he would give me a different cut. Which was fine but yet again it was undercooked to my liking. Unfortunately I had to leave my plate of steak three different times somewhere in the restaurant. It was actually very frustrating. Overall I definitely still recommend giving GC a try as it is normally a great experience. Just not at this location on this day.
Terrible Food! I would literally have to be starving to eat there again. I wish I could give it a zero. The staff was good, the place was clean. Its just the food is horrible, Im sure they cook it by company procedure. I blame the company not the workers.
We have ate at this restraunt several times due to it be convenient and a buffet but we dont necessarilyenjoy it everytime. We attended both Saturday and Sunday of Mothers Day weekend for their breakfast buffet for the first time. At first glance it looked amazing with lots of options. I noticed the French toast pies where hard qnd cold, both kinds of sausage where pink in the center, the scrambled eggs were cold with no flavor, the toast was rock hard and cold, I also noticed a long black hair in the cheesy hash browns and pointed it out to a worker who then took it to the side an told another worker your gonna have to just pull it out and without hesitation pulled it out along with one of the potatoes from the top and tossed the pan back on the buffet. I will say the best part was the omelets being made from from the man who told me he was the GM and franchise owner...until the second time I went up there was a young boy that requested a fried egg with yolk, you could tell he had a slight disability and repeated his order as reassurance, Im not sure how many times but it was quit and of no bother to anyone except obviously the GM because he slapped it on his Plate and said yeah I know, you only repeated yourself 12 times you could clearly see it hurt the young mans feelings because he put his head down and went back to his table, the GM clearly needs some training in CUSTOMER SERVICE
Do not get me wrong, they have a ton of selections and this may be your kind of thing. However, everything tasted salty and everything just blended together, by the 5th bite of different foods. My husband and I both looked at each other, did we just pay for salt?? I get that they put preservatives because it is a buffet, however, this is overdone!! I was disappointed. This was my first time trying Golden Corral...walked out and wasted our money after 1 plate.
I wasnt really impressed. I am a big guy but I get full quickly. It doesnt take much food to fill me up. What Im saying is the price was pretty steep for someone like me that cant eat alot at a buffet.
The store is at the top of its game.Food is great and service is great as always, lines occasionally out the door.All good though.
If we could give 6 stars we would.The food was great,excellent service,And appreciate the owner for helping us.Never a bad experience or meal here in my opinion.
A great meal for a low cost. We stopped at 2:30pm while traveling across the 90. Our waitress, Ellen made us feel like we were in her home. The food was excellent for a buffet. We paid $17.15 for two seniors at the lunch price. This is cheaper then a fast food Micky Ds, and a way better meal & service!
Food was amazing. Clean establishment. Friendly staff. Love it. Will return again
Had to wait outside until they let us in to pay. Only one family at a time in the building to wait. Was informed I needed a mask. Which I cannot wear. I have also a walking disability but was placed at a table as far away from the food and restroom. Which made it very difficult for me to get my food. My daughter ended up having to get it. Also I was asked 3 times by employees about my non mask. Once in no one should be asked. The food as usual was very good, the service was fantastic. The steak chef left a little to be desired as far as friendliness. Very happy your open but I will wait until this bull is over before I come back.
Very friendly service. Good food. Everything was good.Compared to other locations, this location looks like its been recently renovated. Very bright and white.First time at this location. Definitely will be back next time Im in the area.
Great prices and it is a clean facility. Only problem I have is I never have cash on me for a tip. They should let you leave a tip as you walk out on your CC
Wasnt too bad n the servers were on top of clearing away our dirty plates.. big selection of food and I cant complain about any of it..
Havent been here in years. Came back to a beautifully remodeled and very clean restaurant with a better verity of food.
Lady was choking on some food and nobody did anything they said they have to call 911 by the time they would have got there she would of died so I did the heimlich on her got whas stuck in her throat, so save my first preson, the sad part of this is that the manager working that night never came the the table to see if she was ok and the women I save was there for about 20 minutes to relax shame on the manager and for not even coming over to check on her and not even thanking me for what I have done
The place is AMAZING! Its like heaven for a food lover! They offer a wide range of meats in various preparations, delicious greens and a decent sweet section with a chocolate fountain. The value is unbelievable for the price you pay. Salad is delicious, fruits are refreshing, bread crumbed shrimp is insanely good, not to mention the southern BBQ sauce chicken legs and fried chicken. I have 0 regret and nothing to complain whatsoever. Everything should go and try this place. Im kinda glad I didnt live close to this place, my dieting plan will fail miserably.
Its a very good place to eat I would recommend this restaurant to all of my friends and family members
Had lunch on a Saturday food was good staff was nice...great selection to try yummy dessert
Loved the staff. Friendly and attentive. The food was great. On two occasions they replenished the fried fish (the chef with green eyes made sure we were never fish deprived again!) and banana pudding tray. The bread pudding was GODLY. Loved it here. They also adhered to COVID guidelines which I liked.
It was delicious food, clean friendly but the AC wasnt working, it was real hot in there.
Some things not as good as they used to be but Gould be the same as everywhere. Not enough. Enough there to find a good selection of things to fill you up!
$36 for food yet my dogs Kibble has better variety and taste. There were multiple empty pans and everything was over salted, mushy, or completely dry. But the mini corn dogs were good.
Most of them Ive been have closed where Im at this one seems pretty nice and clean and well took care of and the food was good I will return
The cornbread was so good the rest of the food Im not sure because I only had cornbread .
The food was good. The COVID regulations inside were gone so while the seating was still technically 6 ft apart, people were all over the place anyway. Otherwise the service was good and the food fantastic!
It was busy but the food for the price was excellent. The staff was courteous, cordial, and professional. A great place to dine! 🥗🍤🍣🍰🥧🍨🍩🥤🍜🍛🍲
The first thing that always hits me when I enter the Erie location is how clean it is! Ive been to other buffets and there is always a mess on the floor and around the food, but Erie takes your health and safety seriously and ensures the place is always clean. The food is always plentiful & good quality with staff constantly ensuring the food is refilled before running out. Staff are super friendly and always ensuring your drinks are full and used plates are gone. I always enjoy visiting Erie and when I do Golden Corral is definitely on my places to stop.
Excellent food. Still nice inside. Too bad John the owner didnt come say hello. He was there. Used to eat there alot before covid.
Great service, a little pricey, horrible food... I tried all my favorite foods and never finished one plate. Everything either tasted bad wrong or had a weird texture to it. I have never had an experience like that at this restaurant in my life
The service with a good attitude was good, but had to wait for slow employees to clean off tables instead of talk during work to friends and stack it on one table. I still dont understand why parts of the restaurant is closed if Covid is low.
A long wait to get in and sit down and eat when we finally got a table and went to get our food majority of the food was not well cooked the rice was very hard was not completely cooked the vegetables were horrible not cooked either the workers seem like they were very tired not motivated I really dont know if I would go back price was good but food was not that good
Watched an enployee at the buffet pick up a dirty dish and slide it ontop of the BBQ ribs that were to be served to customers. This not only is gross, but it literally scraped all the BBQ off the ribs. It was obvious what he did. But he didnt care. Next customer didnt see, and wgat they dont know cant hurt them, right?
Staff was friendly and the food was great. Coming from New York through all this Covid BS my youngest daughter doesnt remember a buffet at a restraunt so this was a treat.
The golden corral is a fantastic buffet. They have excellent food and amazing service. Would 100% go again. 10/10
I was there for breakfast it was very good. Eggs to order. If you want an omelet they have anything you would want. A lot of other breakfast items. They serve breakfast on weekends.
Totally remodeled. Looks nice. Staff is friendly. Only problem, if I pay the price they charge, food should be fresh and stocked. Lots of empty slots.
Great food. Lots of selections to choose from. I have 4 kids who are picky eaters and they were all happy with the selection. Very clean, nice atmosphere, including the rest room which can sometimes be frightening. In a restaurant so thankfully not in this case. Our server ( John) was very hospitable and friendly as well as the rest of the staff. They even sang happy birtbday to my 8 year old son. We will definitely be back soon!
I had an issue with Grubhub and the manager took care of it. It wasn’t so much the food because Grubhub left my food there for 3 hours. The manager was great! By the way , his name was David
My friends and I Always have a good time going there, the people working there are always pleasant and helpful and the price is reasonable, theres so much to choose from and the food is great
I hate the new Bourbon Chicken sauce! Whatever you did UNDO IT! Its like a gravy now!
Verry good food been to several golden corrals this has been by far the best excellent customer service and excellent wait staff everything i got tasted amazing usaly at buffets i get 2 plates and call it quits not here 8 plates ate everything i could everything tasted so good a++ for sure
The food was really good! I also loved our server Colton! He was super friendly and did his job very well!
Its was very busy today.But they had a.very nice selection of all different kind of food to choose from...My favorite part of the food.was mashed potatoes and salad
Food was great. Wait time was about 20 minutes to get in. Food was fresh and tasty. Plenty of room to move around.
Its been awhile since I have been there. Prior to covid. Its remodeled and very nice. Food was fresh.
Stopped after appointment with the baby doctors. Was delicious and the fact out waitress was so nice and actively making sure we were okay was super refreshing considering the times.
The food is always good. The Waitresses are always on top of everything. never had a bad experience. Theyre always cleaning
Have been here a few times over the last couple of months and I have never had an issue. Staff is super friendly, food tastes great, the mashed potatoes are to die for!
Service was nice fast friendly. Enjoyed tye cooks humor. Food was famtastic. Wish they still where in n.y. near us
The people that worked there was great and friendly. However the food wasnt great. Alot was cold. And we were there for easter 8a.m. not a fan.
The wait time wasnt bad, the waitstaff was decent. Food was okay. Not a bad experience but not a one of a kind experience
It was good for an all u can buffet I havent been in while had good time with my son and step dad
The staff was a joy to be around and they were very busy and making people very comfortable. Except they stopped having cotton candy and they need to bring it back.
It was crazy busy being Sunday. But the food didnt disappoint. Tons of dessert options. Killer meatloaf.
Some of the food was really good and some of it was just okay. Was very crowded and were still in the pandemic I hope I dont catch covid.
Wonderful food and we had a wonderful weitress. Great overall experience.
Erie Pa. right on Peach street.It may just be me but this buffet seems to be headed south.I used to appreciate the grilled chicken and steak at lunch and the extra effort that was put into each station. If you are just looking to fill up?...its still a better choice than fast food.
Lynn our waitress was very friendly and on the ball. Very good food. Everything was hot and ready to eat. Dislike u must seat urself and the salad bar was not filled up so slim choices on it..otherwise worth the visit!
Great food tonight. Guy who took care of us . Great service. Believe his name was Mike? 🤔
Clean, well stocked. food was good glad to have Golden corral open again
Expensive, I get if you can eat a ton then Yeah. But I never can eat more then a plate. And a small ice cream. I really do miss having this place in ohio though.
They had a great selection. Of fresh food. I was surprised with this government destroying everything.
Great food! What a wait on Saturday b4 dinner though! U are out the door!
Food was over cooked and wasnt spiced right so it was bland wasnt worth the price. Service was good
Not to long of wait, considering it was Thanksgiving day. Well worth it tho! As always, large variety of delicious entres, and so many sides. Big shout out for great Catfish!! I enjoy the low cost, no clean up, option, as a single holiday diner. Big thumbs up!!👍
I have not been in quite awhile but there was a huge amount of options! Everything I ate was quite good!!
Food was excellent as always. Service was fantastic. We will definitely be going back.
Yet again a wonderful job well done with tonights Veteran dinner. Staff was extremely polite, and very professional. Place was packed and yet everything was clean and pretty organized. A couple of my fellow veterans and myself got the luxury of having Cassie as our server, she was fantastic. She did an excellent job representing the company and just being a decent person. We saw how busy she was yet she was sure to make sure that we had things and were taken care of. The steak cook had a great sense of humor did a great job as well. Steak was pretty fatty but it was cooked well and tasted decent. Overal, Great job and THANK YOU so much! I look forward to this every year, and this year you all really did fantastic again.
The salad bar lady is pretty hot, her names abbey, and she seems absolutely dashing.
If you like Buffet style restaurants, Golden Corral is pretty good..... I personally like it for breakfast only because they have a good selection... but temperature of food is definitely not up to code!!!! (Meaning not at the right HOT holding temp!!!!Waitress / Table serves to minimal because they have so many tables to care for and if they are busy, it maybe a while for a refill...If you want a lot of food for your money.. well, this is a good place to go....Located in Erie, Pa... on Peach Street
Our closest Golden Corral shut down with good reason. If they would have been half as good as this one they would still be open and thriving. The food was excellent and the staff courteous and on point. Was impressed with the manager and how she was interacting with customers and the employees. I see why they are doing so well. Will definitely return the next time we are in Erie.
We are Seniors.I like very much the new tables and booths.The hostesses were very nice and helpful, and polite. Our beverages were refilled in a very timely manner.I asked about take out meals.I later forgot to check out the size of the containers, and ask what would the cost be.Maybe add table cards with take out information. If there was a sign, I did not see it.We arrived there about 2:00-2:30pm on Wednesday November 24th.There was only one option for soup.No Chicken Noodle.We drove a little over 1 hour to get to Golden Corral, from Ohio.
Got their at 11:15 figured the food would be hot, nope cold everything! Asked the waitress how the food could be cold this early her excuse was where busy, honestly I dont know! At that time no they were not busy. Also we were waiting at the register to get our order rung up and the hostess was not their so someone came out of the kitchen with his gloves on rung up the order and preceeded to go back in the kitchen with the same gloves on. My husband saw that they put out fried chicken so he went up to get some and ate a few bites then he saw it was raw, disgusting.
Wait was over 30 minutes, no one was attending the ham, turkey or steak readily. The meatloaf, mash potatoes and mushrooms were excellent tho! Sunday pricing $35 for 2! No shredded cheese by bake potatoes :( Squash w/ marshmallows was excellent. Ice Cream Cone is good, but Carmel Sauce was empty! Need to refill many items! Better desserts like cheesecake would have been nice with coffee option after dinner. Drinks 2.99 each only diet coke so no pepsi products! Waitress brings drinks rarely saw but tip her.
Updating my review since this was the first time in about a year since we had went. This evening the food was better than last time and our waiter was really nice and checked up on us frequently always making sure our drinks were full and our table was cleared!My only complaint is that, Im not sure if its only this location, they had a different honey butter spread for the rolls that was almost like a waxy grease and not butter and it didnt have the same taste that we used to love. The rolls and honey butter is definitely something we always look forward to and that was a letdown, hence the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
Erie, P.A. on Peach st. If you like cafeteria level food, by all means go. You wont be disappointed. Me, I thought it was trash. Cheap, but trash none the less.
I love this place , everything was so good and fresh. The waitress was very helpful and pleasant
Enjoyed the food and the services thank you guys so much for the hospitality.
Great food.. awsome variety.. loved the experience..
Went to Golden Corral this afternoon at 3:45. We were eating our lunch when the staff began to take the food away. I thought maybe they were changing over for dinner but that was not the case, they were closing at 4 oclock. We were not told when we arrived that they would be closing, nor were we told they were pulling all the food shortly thereafter. No one came over to us to ask if we were done eating , which we were not. Never left Golden Corral hungry, but today we did. Not an all bad visit, Etta, our waitress was exceptional. One star for todays visit.
Actually good food. Excellent service. Usually eat for supper but lunch was good.
It totally wasnt worth what we paid and they over charged for my daughter.
Every time we go there, there is a line out the door. It takes way too long to get a table. My family don’t like go in there no more
We dont have Golden corral near us, so we drive 3 hours I am happy with it.
The food was excellent. The desert was excellent as well very good job on that. The only downfall of my visit was wasnt sure who my waitress was. And I did see the manager going around the other tables hi hows everything going the other tables but never came to our table so hes got to work on making sure he gets everybody in checking his list twice. the food was excellent.
Our server Collin was a Rock Star! He deserves server if the year! So polite & attentive!
Gets crowded around dinner time but the food is good.
$80 something bucks for 3kids and 3adults bc according to Golden crack 15 years old your an adult! Plus then left 5tip for drink refills
Ive been to a few Golden Corrals across the country over the years. Ive always been disappointed by both the food and service. This one is a true cut above the rest. Warm and friendly staff, enough customer volume to ensure the food is fresh and hot at all times. Drove an hour and a half with my family to go again a month after our first chance visit. 5 star service both times!
Terrible experience. I was eating my food:: which was decent btw:: and bit down on a screw.
Went for lunch everything was great, food was warm and service was the best
The atmosphere is just...anxiety inducing.Food is either under or over cooked
The line to get in was out the door but we moved pretty quickly through it. All of the staff was very polite and helpful even though they were pretty slammed. We love coming here. The steak was amazing!
Make friendly people eat a lot and the food is definitely good thanks to the cooks
They no longer offer breakfast even though there was signs about it. They food was great, only thing I didnt like was the Mac and cheese.
Customer service wasnt good. We were not greeted, the woman look annoyed. Food wasnt fresh. Wont be back
Buffet extraordinaire! Make sure youre hungry when you go here because everything is pretty much delicious, especially the steak, bourbon st. chicken, and cornbread with pieces of corn in it! If you enjoy dipping your own strawberries in a chocolate waterfall this is definitely the place to pursue that mouth-watering luxury.
Just okay. The food was okay. The bathroom was terrible and really needs immediate attention.
Good as usual. Must say food was warm, not as hot as I remember.
Great food and service for a great price!
Food was ok but I did not feel safe thier. NO ONE was wearing a mask when getting food. No type of safety measures were implemented by management. Very very disappointed.......
I gave it a give because it was busy when we got there and a bus just pulled in. But the staff were awesome in getting everyone a seat. Food was very good especially the clam chowder. Wait staff was very attentive even though they had many tables to take care of.
Typical buffet faire. Not a great deal of variety like in the past but food was okay.
Friendly and helpful staff. The food choices are wide and the quality is spot on. Good job Golden Corral!
Been to many restaurants in many cities and have found out that the majority of restaurants in the south are very attentive... and not so much up north but the waitresses here at this restaurant ensured my drink remained full without me having to tell them. It was a great visit and I would recommend them to others.
The waitress was very friendly the pot roast was delicious and I love the rolls with the honey butter
The Erie Golden Corral is the best run Golden Corral Ive been to. Great job.
We had 7 people in our party !! I needed my husband to help me as I have a chemical imbalance!! Also had my 91 year old mother in law and my father in law who is 92 years old!! Then we were seated all the way to the right then left all the way in the very back corner. My mother in law had family get her food because we were so far away from the food. Food was good and our waitress Jenn was fantastic and needs to be recognized for being so efficient and kind to my in- laws!! I dont know if I will be coming back !!! Mannerism for the elderly wasnt the best !! Seating for them should had been closer to food area, as tables were open!!
Great breakfast selection. The buffet was full of fresh food and well maintained.
Food was good . A little busy . Nice waitress .
They cut things back but still good place to eat
The food was yummy. Clean and covid friendly.
The food wasnt bad it stayed fresh with all the buses that showed up which was a plus for us. The manager was very polite and inviting. I did have a issue with a few staff members stood in the center of the isle by my table throwing a fit about all the buses and being very disrespectful to a newer employee for sitting a group at the wrong table. I felt it was very unpleasant for me and my children to have to deal with.
The food was awful. How can you screw up ham, pre breaded shrimp. The ham was ham. The mashed potatoes were sticky not soft and fluffy, the chicken gravy yuk. That is what I had because everything else looked dry and many of the chaffers were empty. The coconut cream pie I tried was just as bad I took one bite and couldnt eat any more. I will never go back there again nor will my daughter and granddaughter. By the way the womens restroom was filthy.
Food was mediocre at best and service was..wow. Getting called wasteful in Spanish is fun. The atmosphere was overwhelming to say the least. If you want to go there for the experience, and pay way to much for the quality of nock off and gas station food go for it. Just be aware you may end up with food poisoning. My poor stomach.
My daughter and I went there for a quick meal.. We both got our plates sat down. Mperiod my coffee was hot her drink was cold as it was icy. The food was cold had no heat. I received a piece of steak that was cold is cold off the grill. The baked chicken was just enough underdone that it was still clear and see through through. My daughter had a piece of chicken.. I opted for another piece of steak to see if it would be anymore cooked which it was hot this time but it was Gray in color on the inside and I believe its been sitting around for at least a week being reheated and pretty put away and reheated Im not sure I suggest
Love this place ..we just had a awesome waitress tyvm Amber ..yummy food
The staff were very friendly. The food was top notch.
I stop @ this location when I am close. It is clean & well kept. The restrooms are clean. The food is hot, fresh, & delicious. The staff was in overdrive due to the labor shortage. I really enjoyed our server.
Nasty! Food undercooked, greasy soggy chicken. Kids running 🏃♀️ around all over, no organization at all. It was like a free for all with rude customers reaching in front of you to get food. Mostly all carbs, got sick after. Spent $64 for 4 people. What a waste of time & money, will never ever go back!!!
Had not been there in awhile. Everything that I had was good
Not much of a selection, food was mostly cold and bland. Slushy machines are a plus tho.
SO GOOD AND AMAZING 100% recommend ❤️ 🍕 🧁🍗
They are very organized there. The staff was very kind and fast paced moving. We did have to wait but they were moving quit fast considering its a buffet. We went to another coral in chicago and it wasnt as clean as friendly as this one in erie pa. Our server was even on point with refills and supplying silverware even when I didnt reaize that I had gotten rid of mines. Def worth the hour and half trip from buffalo ny. The food was great and set up nicely. No complaints at all, except if your a customer and your going there with children, please control them and dont let them wonder its still a pandemic and these businesses are trying their very best to provide a clean safe environment for all. So please keep in mind if your kids arent well behaved, dont take them in public. Its uncomfortable for the staff and the people out trying to enjoy them selves on their hard working pennies. So please be curteious.
Food and service was great, when back in the Erie area will be back
Typical Buffett BUT the Pot roast was spectacular. Delicious flavor and great gravy!!! The meat so tender it melted in your mouth. Good job!! I wish we had a Golden Corral in Buffalo.
Collin is great need more workers like him he is a people person the Manager came off a little rude
We visited today, only waited a few minutes to pay and be seated. We had an absolute wonderful waitress today. We had 4 adults and 7 children. She was so helpful! Even recommended food for us to try. And brought us a few plates of their rolls and butter. She was so friendly, she made sure she was at our table every 15 minutes or so. She played with our son, talked to us a bit. She made our visit wonderful. I honestly dont think weve ever had a waitress be so friendly and made sure we were very well taken care of. I wish I would have gotten her name. The kids think her name was Terry. We made sure we left her a good tip!! She absolutely deserved it 100%. We are foster parents and often have a hard time taking our children out to eat. Not many people are very friendly having to take care of a large family with lots of little ones. And our whole visit everyone was so friendly! Even through the mask we got alot of smiles! The food was great!! Everything was fresh and hot. And the prices are awesome, we expected to pay way more. Social distancing was great, someone was always cleaning and wiping the buffet. I hope someone sees this review and lets this restaurant know how much we appreciate their kindness and hard work. Everyone was very busy, and youd never see it on their face. They were bsutung their butts and smiling while doing so!! Our visit today was a great experience!! Thanks for all yall do!! Our family will definitely be back!! Stay safe and God bless!!
Good variety of food. Reasonably priced buffet.
Friendly staff. Steak was great. Salad bar was out of dressings, croutons and etc. People were up at the buffet without masks just walking all around and breathing on food etc. I lost my appetite and got disgusted and left. Food overall was unpleasant, daughter and I were very disappointed, will not return.
Went between breakfast and lunch n it was good overall
We are so happy they brought back the breakfast buffet!! Even during COVID they continue to produce quality, cleanliness and a friendly atmosphere. We as a family drive an hour to dine at Golden Corral. One of our favorite places to eat!!! Great food and great prices!!! And the owner is always very nice. He even remembers us and what we like to eat!!!
Host were nice but the food was very bland but there were seasonings at out table but noticing a couple dog going through the food stations I lost my appetite. I dont want to be unsupportive of individuals who need service animals and I am unsure if this was the case but I no longer wanted anything else.
My kids love to go here. They like that they can pick what they want. Tips of course are highly recommended. They do bring you your drinks & clear your plates.
Good quality food and reasonable prices.
Food was cold,empty bins,couldnt get anyone to cut a piece of ham
Great breakfast. Glad its back. Keep up the great work.
Very clean compared to our local one our waitress was great friendly and kept our table clean kept checking on us everything was good until I got desert I tasted a hair in my banana pudding
Nice stuff and really good food , specially the grill
The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The management and waitstaff Jaidee was fantastic. The manager really made us feel welcome and spent time just chatting with us at our table. We were celebrating my dads 90th birthday and it was a wonderful experience.
Manger was greatIt was clean and all food was hot
They have a great selection of food.
Very nice looking always happy to take care of customers food is very well done and steaks are excelent
My husband and I had the BEST service from David yesterday. Easter, and pretty much any holiday is a nightmare for most restaurants, but he took time to take care of us when an issue came up during the chaos. Hell probably know who we are, when I say that he directed us to the Walldamere theme park, and the peninsula up further. We took that advice to check them out today, and I swear he mustve known we love the outdoors, because 💖🌟👏 they were both something. Were definitely coming back to say hi, and eat again soon, for sure! Thanks again, David and staff for your hard work 🙌🙌
Not a fan. Way too busy and the food was not very fresh. Nice staff and there was a variety.
They cannot handle a rush. Staff was visibly upset, food was rushed and at times undercooked.
Its pretty crowded. The food is okay to very good depending on the day and cook, but it has all the ambiance of a sweaty high school pep rally. The cotton candy is a highlight though.
Pretty good food. A bit expensive though. Lots of good southern dishes takes me back to home. So balances out in the middle I suppose.
Very friendly and efficient staff. Great selection of food. Loved the steak and homemade rolls.
Great food, great choices. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
They rarely change their menu in my opinion but you get as much as you want the food is pretty good above average. And if something quick and simple with family.
This place had great food and was very clean. The bathrooms need a complete over haul. They are gross and falling apart even when they are clean. The staff has been amazingly friendly the times we have been there and very helpful, accommodating, giving and understanding to my special needs kids. I have been here quite a few times over the years but the last few months have been the best. We really like the new staff.In response to the owners. Everything at your establishment was great. It was just your bathrooms and it takes extra to replace those.
Checked on computer, Erie Golden Corral Erie Pa, Under --How much does it cost seniors to eat if over 60. It had from mon. to sat. special lunch from 11 to 4 for about $8. Went today , at 11.40 cost over $24 for 2 people with just water to drink. Quite a difference.
The food was good but the service was poor she didnt come see about us getting refills. Only came to table once and we were there for a couple hours.
Sonia is an amazing server, hardworking, and very genuine!
Your mainly paying for amount of food than quality but it still is good. There were a few items that werent to popular but over good experience. Especially if you like to smash some food.
The best steak ever, with fresh caped sauteed mushrooms, baked potato fresh from the oven.
Our local Golden Corral in Monroeville closed when the pandemic hit and is not coming back, so it was nice to stop in at the one on Peach Street when we passed Erie. Nice place, loved it. Enjoyed the food.
Not much to pick from basically poor cuts of steak or the chicken that nobody buys (thighs) lots of desserts though. for the $15 could definitely just get a good steak from a steak house.
Food was ok clientele was a bit seedy
Most not labeled. Quality of food mediocre at best with only a few exceptions. I can cook far better.their Bourbon chicken, well they never been south!
Redesigned the interior, looks much more modern and updated. I really like the new look. Food is delicious once again. Food quality had fallen off but they are much better now. I had not been there for years because of poor quality but I really enjoyed the food again. Their build your own burgers are really really good.
Great food and amazing staff!
Food here is delicious and very fresh and awesome customer service
Very good place to go with your family for dinner
There is no Golden Corral in buffalo ny, so when i moved to erie and my boyfriend took my son and I we really enjoyed it. this quickly became my son dres favorite place to eat with the kid friendly buffet and snacks. we love going here. and the steak is always great! thank you staff and owners for such a good experience every time.
The food and service are great!
No social distancing by people waiting in line to pay. No spoons provided with silverware that was given to us by the person that guided us to our table. No bowls provided for soups or chili on buffet. Food was good but refills of food on salad bar was not being kept up with. Social distancing between tables was questionable. Food was good, atmosphere was questionable.
I been going here since I was a kid and never had an issue. Been about 4 years since I been here. And this time around. I’m not pleased at all. The girl who rang us up at the front was a young woman and she acted rather rude. I understand we came about a half hour before closing time , but their was a good amount of people in the place still eating when we walked in. And I seriously think she over charged us. The one waitress there. She’s nice and all but her comments on the food was on key. Smells good but tastes horrid. Rock hard and unflavored. The staff at the buffet area were rude. And loud. Goofing off in the back area while they where hosing down the floors. No horsing around should have been going on at that time. All in all 1 Star only because of our waitress. The rest was very disappointing.
Our server was very nice and did her job well
Very good food and service 👍🇺🇸
Dont eat the meatloaf,its not made like regular meatloaf gross.Potroast was great ,the best golden Correl was near Richmond. Virgina as far as the 9 different locations I been to so far.
Very friendly staff. Good food . The wait time though expect to wait about an hour unless your there early for dinner or late.
This is the only Golden Corral in the area and its great. The food is consistent with the company brand and the customer service is top notch here. It was even a great deal going on Thanksgiving Day. The buffet price was 13.99 this year as of this review on November 28, 2019. Fresh food, friendly people, plenty of smiles. I will always recommend this place anytime of the year.
Great clean food was fresh
Selection was very good.We went for the breakfast buffet although the choices of food I made were not at all hot. Most of them were not even lukewarm. They need to somehow keep the foods hotter. If I recall the last time I was there it was the same.
It was excellent and the food was delicious and the business was popping every Golden Corral food doesnt taste good but this one does...
Love the Erie golden corral staff is always very friendly

2022-06-03Very clean. Server was amazing and constantly clearing plates and bringing drinks. We went on a Friday at around 4pm and it wasnt to busy. Some of the food was just a bit to salty. The breaded shrimp was delicious. We have been to this locaction twice.

2022-03-18There was a lot of people out to eat that day the weather was beautiful and warm sun was shining gorgeous day.That was a line outside which was nice I didnt mind standing outside in the warm weather. once we got in to the building we got our seat right away and it was packed which was nice to see that people are not afraid to go out because of that virus and the food was actually quite tasty.I like going to Golden corral for dinner I hope you enjoy it too

2022-04-06First Ive been to a Golden Corral, Id say it was a good experience, great food options and the steak is the best. The dessert area was a bit messy.

2022-03-15I come here a lot cuz its hard to cook for one person. Love the meatloaf love to mac and cheese its always good I know those fellows know how to grill a steak. The fellow who owns a place works alongside his team and thats impressive. Nice and clean all the time wait staff is great.

2022-06-16After a long road trip, the comfort food was great to have. Good selections available for type 2 diabetics like me and for my spouse with celiac issues. Salad bar was a little empty and 3 or 4 main course selections were out.

2022-06-23Food was hot & fresh. Small portions were placed out & refreshed in order to maintain freshness. Someone was constantly wiping down the food areas. Server, Danielle, was always purposefully moving. She was attentive, but not intrusive. She gets a huge 👍from this former server!

2021-06-29If youre looking for a restaurant that will satisfy every member of your party, this is it. Even the pickiest eater in our party was happy! We were there for lunch - fried chicken, pot roast & steak bites were tasty. Salad bar had every topping you could ask, prepared salads needed some attention. Dessert bar was well stocked, (although chocolate fountain was not do it yourself due to Covid protocols, but a server will do it for you), loved the different toppings. Our server Etta was super attentive and sweet, all while training a new colleague. Great experience!

2022-05-07NEVER EVER AGAIN! The food was absolutely disgusting, I mean disgusting! The Chicken is plain, the Mac & Cheese is plain, the hush puppies were not good at all, the stuffing on my plate was really, really soft to the point it was no longer appetizing. Me and my fiancé will never come back here, everything we had on our plate was plain, and not a bunch of food choices as well. The only good experience we had was the waiter who was really nice, besides that, there was nothing else nice about this place!
