The Golden Corral bathroom soap smells like inside kumon

Plates and Forks were consistently dirty, food was standard buffet food and it is just overpriced.

Buena, pero era muy incomodo para moverse

Might be the worst Golden Corral I have ever been to. All of the food that we tried was either cold or soggy. The selection also had only half of what most golden corrals typically do. I’m grossed out and wish I would have just gone to Dave’s across the street.

I have been eating at this Golden Corral for many years. Now in my senior years it's my favorite place for lunch. Their salad bar is the best. There are a lot of food choices to please everyone and both baked and fried entrees. The bakery is my favorite. They also have hamburgers 🍔. If you don't see them just ask.. The restaurant was remodeled and looks fantastic. It is located on International drive in the tourist area. I'm not a tourist but I play one on TV ha ha.😂
