Went back one more time only because I really missed the Elk Grove, California Restaurant. This time it was much much better. Food was fresh and the fried chicken was great. The price is great around $10.00.......... I will go back.

The only impressive thing here is the chocolate fountain other that place has very average food.

OK that was disgusting. The fried chicken was decent, the steak was mediocre, the salad was brown, and the rest was crap. Reminding myself to NEVER eat there again. @trixa g. You were right about the rolls but...were you high when you went there?

We come here because my husband really likes Golden Corral. I'm from Florida and that is where he first tried it. Cheap Buffets do not exist in Spain where he is from, so this is very exotic to him. It's a bit hard for me, since I do not have the same metabolism. He especially enjoys the Steak. I let him pick the stars and he chose 4. This particular restaurant was sad to me. We went early on a Sunday and there were just so many obese people, that it made me lose my appetite. It is just painful to see the role socioeconomics plays in obesity. We will probably go again because where else can one get all-you-can-eat steak for $10?

Exactly what you would expect from a buffet style restaurant- a lot of everything you would want to eat. These guys do a great job of changing their menu and brining on new items. Staff is always friendly.

I'm not sure what came over me, I hate their awful dinner menu, why did I think breakfast would be any better! It's really not that hard to cook bacon, make gravy for the biscuits, not over salt the hash browns and come get the plates off our table that is so clearly piling up! Thinking to yourself let's go out to breakfast.... Avoid golden corral for sure! That is if you like flavor.

Always a favorite place to stop for a meal when in Boise. Good value, and a little something for everyone's taste!

Was very disappointed in the meal. Price was a little high it was 15 dollars with a drink. I don't have high expectations when it comes to Buffets but was still not impressed. All the food tasted the same. The soft serve ice cream was the best part of the entire meal. Service was good, just hovered a little too much. Probably won't go back unless I have no where else to go

Blah food. Just keep driving. All things look old and had a "skin" over them. Just not a good deal

We have been going to this Golden Corral location for over 9 years and have never been disappointed. We have gotten to know the staff and management, who do all they can to ensure a great visit. We highly recommend this particular location.

This is simply the best place to eat anywhere in Boise Idaho I come here every day that I'm here.. Wish they had these back in California I'll be a fat pig if I had one of these Near me.

Meh. Whatever you do, don't pay for grub at 3PM with expectations things will be amazing by 4PM. Last time we came here we were super-hungry at 3PM and rolled the dice. It seemed like the entire restaurant and all employees lost interest in helping anyone between 3PM and 4PM. No one filled the empty lettuce and other fixings at the salad bar and no one filled the meat at the grill. The service was foul enough to direct my buffet needs to one of the many other buffets in the area. Better luck next time Golden Corral....

When I booked my trip to Boise, I told my friend (who lives there) that we had to go to Golden Corral. She had been once and was not impressed. By the time we left, she was converted. We probably devoured six rolls between the two of us (or maybe more than I'm willing to admit or can remember). It was Friday so they had my favorite pot roast. The variety was actually a bit better than I had remembered too. The only thing missing from my old GA Golden Corral was the red velvet cake but after all those amazing rolls, I have no complaints!

Golden Corral is a buffet, it is what it is. You cannot walk into the place expecting anything more. My husband and I went for dinner on a Sunday afternoon after seeing The Avengers. The selection of food was nice, though we miss the servers bringing hot rolls to the table, and we feel that items in the dessert area like the chocolate fountain, hard ice cream and cotton candy are excessive and have taken away from some of the desserts they used to offer- but that's all a matter of taste. There seemed to be a level of inattention going on in the food area, no one behind the counter to carve ham, and a few dishes remaining empty for a long time- but we've seen worse. One point I will make is that the current fish promotion is a little too much. Many people (like my husband) don't care for fish, and when you take up half of your food space with one type off food, other dishes we usually count on seeing aren't there. Overall, as I said, it is what it is, just go with the flow and you'll be fine.

Great service and the food was the best I have eaten at in the Golden Corral chain. I would definitely come back to this one.

Terrible food. My boyfriend and I went in for lunch and decided to give it a chance. I'll never step foot in here again. We couldn't believe this place hasn't been shut down yet. The Asian section looked at least a week old and nothing was edible. Not even the salad bar was fresh. They couldnt even get dessert right, the cheesecake was loaded with sugar and looked extremely old. Avoid this mess, you'll be glad you did. Just terrible.

The quality is going downhill quickly. Very disappointing and quite possibly my last visit. Elements were good but overall not enjoyable

They have great steak! I loved their desserts they have so much like cotton Candy chocolate fountain and more. Its only $10.00 for kids 12 and under its a great deal. I will go back for sure.

My husband is from Ohio and I'm from Portland, OR. So when we visited Boise he jumped at the opportunity to take me to Golden Corral and I'm so glad he did. It was far better than any buffet I've been to before. I was smiling like a kid because there was so many fantastic options. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I loved there options for the mexican food section, they had fixins for fajitas which I have never seen at a buffet before. I actually got the attention to a couple next to us who couldn't stop smiling at my reaction. Once I explained that it was my first time there they jumped at the opportunity to make recommendations for what to try next and I'm glad they did. Initially it was actually a bit overwhelming, I don't tend to eat too much so having to pick what to try was a welcomed issue. The dessert bad was fantastic as well. Fresh strawberries and even cotton candy! I always laugh at some peoples reactions to buffets. If you are looking for "gormet" food you should never hit a buffet. However, if you are looking for a buffet give it a shot. It's the best buffet I've ever been to and that's thanks to the quality and selection. We are taking another trip to Boise this year and I hope we can find time to make another trip to Golden Corral.
