      Went to this golden corral to have lunch made it there around lunchtime, it was not that busy at all and I thought is a good time to go because it was not busy. I went to fix my plate and was thinking I really want cabbage and soon as scooped the cabbage up, I noticed it was something in it as I looked closer. I realized it was a roach. I immediately asked to speak to a manager. They told me his name was Carlos Sanchez. He came out look at it apologized, but seemed concerned as if this was something that he see all of the time. I was told that I will be contacted to discuss this further. I left my name and number and I have yet to receive a phone call.

      Cabbage with a roach in it.

      All the food I tried was cold, it all tasted like it had been sitting there too long. The place was clean and looked nice though. There were a lot of nice people working there. But the food for the price I paid just wasn't up to par. Two people for 45 dollars was a lot to me. Yes they had a lot of things to choose from. But everything on my plate was just cold. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

      Always dirty and tables cluttered with dirty dishes. I think the servers just load up tables ti keep from carrying dirty dishes to the back. Then the buffet lines are so often dried and crusty food and I've often observed the cooks coming by and stirring the old series crust ti the bottom of the pan

      Where to start - 1st and foremost myself and 2 others in my party are sick and throwing up at the moment. the diet soda didnt even taste right, should of been a sign of thing to come for us this visit
      now - the website says breakfast, we went in 10am and were told AFTER we paid, breakfast is only on weekends. then went to sit down and were told by the old fart working the register to not sit on the right side but the left, because the only had one sever, and he didn't have rollerskates. great no breakfast and then a comedy show. food was last nights leftovers, there was clam chowder caked and old on the side of the steam table crock, 4 types of chicken, all cold in the middle as if out of the cooler. fish cold in the middle, the baked or broiled chicken, not sure which since its not labeled was old and dry and after one bite, tasted and smelled of FISH thus ROTTEN (see opening comment for resulting issue) looked up and the old fart is now seating whites on the left with us, and telling blacks to sit on the other side...this is not 1963 old fart! the liver and onions looked like dry and old beef jerky. finaly after total disappointment i decided to try some fruit and BINGO, winner....a live walking cockroach on the serving handle to the tuna salad in the salad bar area. we got in touch with the manager, who's only reply is '" i make chicken and fish now all fresh 3 min" well friends. i am not eating chicken of fish thats only been fried 3 min no way its up to temp and the steam tables must of been set wrong because every single thing was cold
      we immediatly got up and left, still hungry and totally disappointed.
      quick update- Old fart at the register, did not give me a diet drink, had to of been regular..thus the weird to me taste...i am diabetic and my blood sugar is 215...its not been over 110 in 5 yrs of my maintenance of it.
      Managers/owner/corporate - 1st i want my 45 dollars back - the food served today was not worth half of that price. 2nd i am contacting the health department with photos, so expect a visit from them soon. lastly..if i or my family have to go to the hospital for any reason, be it food poisoning or by being mis-served my beverage, i'll get ahold of someone like thomas J henrey and see you in court! and finaly i am calling someone about the blatent segregation that the 3 of us witnessed! take all of the above and put it into the proper context, Management should be ASHAMED!!

      cold fried chicken, and runny cold mashed potatoes  sprouts were cold in the middle
      this is the chicken that smelled and tasted like fish - totaly rotten  mac n cheese cold....baked potato foil warm from lamps, cold inside

      I saw pictures and a glowing review on a local foodie FB group. I decided to give it a try. I should have paid attention to the part where it was a paid partnership with the foodie group. We walked by the food on our way to find a table. The food did not look good. Something marked as ham looked a lot like loaf turkey. The food that was out looked old and had a dry crust on top. We walked by many empty tables, but they all had dirty dishes on them. A man walked to the front trying to get a drink refill and was told a waiter would get it for him. He said he hadn't seen a waiter. We went to wash our hands before eating and the bathrooms were disgusting. 3 out of 5 toilets were backed up. I didn't get to see the others. The hand soap was empty. This is when we decided to get a refund without eating and go somewhere else. The staff we did have contact with were very polite and helpful. They didn't question why we didn't want to eat because they already knew. Stop paying to hype your restaurant and get down to the problems in-house.

      What a trashy joint. I haven't been here in over a year and geezus this place went down hill.

      Came here at 6:30pm the AC is out the whole building is hot and they have little staff working and old dried out food being served. There was no steak or pizza being served they had little mashed potatoes being served. It wasn't until after 7pm that they finally started to cook steaks and make fresh items. I was finally able to get fresh chicken and the steaks were over cooked. There was only one guy behind the counter and he sucks at cooking and gives you little chunks of meat. I went to the location in Florida and they serve you a whole steak but these jerks here serve you little nuggs of burnt steak.

      Shut this place down
