Golden Corral

My eyes are always bigger than my stomach in this place. The food is hit or miss on certain days sometimes its pretty good others it could be better. The timing is the most important factor but you gotta love the homey feel and the fact that you can gorge yourself and nobody judges you except your own family

My only complaint is that the prices are way too high. $46. for two. The breakfast is $14.ea. that isn't so bad. Nowadays you can't get a meal for less than $15. I have absolutely no complaints about the quality and variety of foods. As busy as they are, most of the time, I would think that dropping the dinner prices wouldn't break them. I'll keep going when I can save up enough. Enjoy!

Service was great, when your cup is empty they are quick to make sure you have another. 🥤 On Saturday mornings they have a breakfast buffet you don't want to miss, they have many breakfast favorites! 🍳🥞 I love how they are veteran friendly and allow DAV Chapter 114 to come educate our veterans about benefits they may not be aware of. United we stand, divided we fall. Give us a call if you know a veteran or need help with other resources. God bless - Rabi Guerrero 🙏🤝🇺🇲

Very few restaurants in San Antonio were open on Thanksgiving 2022 besides hotel buffets. Even one popular restaurant on a Google search claiming to be open on Thanksgiving was not, which I verified twice. (I think a previous Thanksgiving 2021 review remained on their website. Be sure to call to verify any holiday opening.) This Golden Corral is located on Loop 410 near the Summit Parkway exit, not far from Walmart and just south of Sam's Club, on the frontage road. As expected, the line at the front door at 1:00 PM was lonnnng. All parking spaces, including 4 handicap spaces, were full, because of this special holiday! Since I'm familiar with Sam's Club, I let my family out and parked in the Sam's Club parking lot. Normally, parking would not have been an issue. The line outside the entrance was slow at first, but picked up pace. It took about 35 minutes to transverse to the cashier to pay for our holiday meals. [Good news: my wife and I didn't have to ask for senior discounts for our meals. Bad news: we didn't have to ask.] Golden Corral was well prepared for a large, Thanksgiving 2022 crowd. Terrific service on both sides of the buffet, there were many options from multiple buffet lines. For my part, I started by building, and actually eating, a healthy green salad to balance some less healthy treats. Then, I chose some traditional Thanksgiving dishes, like a slice of tender turkey breast and cornbread, green beans, and for us southerners, fried okra. I also chose a slice of ham and a generous portion of beef brisket. Known for their carrot cake, I chose a slice for dessert, though I'm usually a chocolate lover; the carrot cake was a good choice. Again, service was great, particularly in spite of hundreds of patrons. Not exaggerating too much, I remarked to one hostess that by the end of the day, Golden Corral will have fed the equivalent of a small town. At no time did I hear a groan by any employee because of the throngs of diners. Our server in our section, wearing her own "turkey apron," checked on us, as well as other tables, several times. BTW, servers and other employees at Golden Corral can accept tips, and they were well-deserving today. One last thing. I noticed a family paused before eating to pray and give thanks to the One who provided the first American Thanksgiving. Wonderful!

Went on Thanksgiving Day. We had to wait in line for almost an hour. They were so busy. The food was fresh, Customer Service was great, I know the staff was exhausted but continued to be pleasant. The salad bar was amazing as usual.
