On Saturday July 18th, my husband and I decided to go to Golden Corral. This Golden Corral is located at 42 South River Road, St. George, UT 84790.
We had a few people that were ahead of us, which is always to be expected at Golden Corral. The lines go fast though, which is good for an impatient person.
I found Golden Corral a bit difficult to be unbiased at because our family eats here often. We have found it is a perfect place to go when everyone wants something different or if I don’t know what I want. We have also gotten to know some of the servers and greeted with a smile. Stacy, Sergio and Sharon are servers that you will be happy to have. We usually get one of the three. But all in all, Golden Corral knows what they are doing and you should be happy with any of the servers.
When we found a place to sit, we were immediately greeted by our server (Sharon). She asked us what we were drinking. A big plus for those who like Pepsi, they serve Pepsi products as well as coffee, tea, milk and strawberry soda. They offer a wide variety for almost any taste.
Golden Corral use to have it where you had to wait for your server to bring you your plates and rolls. The rolls are very soft, and come to your table nice and warm with a butter spread. I do like it better now that you can go get your own plates and rolls.
This Golden Corral always goes above and beyond to accommodate their guests.. You will often see tourists embarking from the buses. But do not despair, the workers are fast and they serve with a smile.
Tonight I focused on healthier choices. I like to start with the salad bar. They have a variety of greens. I like the spinach leaves with romaine lettuce. Then I go to add boiled eggs, black olives, sunflower seeds, kidney beans, fresh grilled chicken, diced ham, pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, wow the choices are endless. On a special note, you can watch them prepare your food right in front of you. You can see the workers dice, chuck and peel all of your favorite veggies and fruits. As my second dish I had baked chicken, okra, shrimp and mashed potatoes with gravy. You will notice that the gravy had slivers of meat. . I did try some of the deserts, but I try to stay away from them. They are way too yummy and I would way over indulge.
There are tons of food choices, ranging from soups and salads to steak, fried chicken, rotisserie chicken and many, many side dishes. They have a large variety of desserts including pies, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and brownies. They offer an area where steaks, chicken and other meats are cooked fresh and to order. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, they also serve Breakfast. I would say breakfast is my favorite time to go. If only I could wake up to think about eating. I think they should consider having some breakfast items on the evening or lunch menu for those like me that like to eat breakfast at anytime of the day.
I think it's great that they give a free meal to the Veterans once a year. Golden Corral beats all the other buffet style restaurants. They are also very community oriented and have been willing to help out when asked if possible. The owner and managers of this location are awesome.
Sandie’s Rating System:
Product Quality- Very Good
Price- Low-Moderate- Prices Vary throughout the day and they offer discounts for children and for seniors. If you are a senior, they do have an early bird special.
Location- 42 South River Road, St. George, UT 84790.
Service- Very Good
Speed– Fast
Cleanliness- Good
Atmosphere- For me it reminds me family dining. You will find kids running around and parents and grandparents interacting with each other. I like the family atmosphere.
Final Thought: Go there with an appetite. Their breakfasts have a great deal where you get your coffee, milk and juices included with the price. And you can’t beat the price. The only negative that I have found here is that parents have a way of not watching their kids, so I am always watchful of where their hands go. But I have noticed that the staff is there to clean up and make sure things are in order to the best of their ability. For our family Golden Corral beats the other buffets, even though I like one item at another place. But you can’t have everything you want.
Sounds good to me.
