This place was pretty bad. For 15$, we got to fill our plates from an assortment of terribly prepared foods. There is also the option to have a freshly grilled steak or other meat product. I asked for a medium well piece and was given a rare steak. At least the second time "Sir" (as his name tag said) got it right. The steak and rolls were basically the only good thing, because everything else tasted almost exactly the same - bland, cheap, and nowhere near worth what I paid. Even the drinks were bad. This restaurant provided terrible products at a terrible price, and I can't even believe that people still come here in large groups. Stay away, even McDonald's beats this place.

Is it a requirement to smell like urine and be over the age of 65 with no taste buds to eat at this establishment? Cause, that appears to be the case of you do decide to venture in for a bite or two. The service is great. No complaints there but the food is NOT edible! My whole family is nauseated right now. I hope this isn't food poisoning. :(

The pizza was the only thing that was edible. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the food is gross! The salad station was good but it picked over. Ponderosa is fine dinning compared to this place! Avoid if possible

I am not a petite woman by any means. The ONLY item I truly enjoyed was the carrot-raisin slaw today. What I certainly did NOT enjoy was the 4 little girls in front of us in line using the railings as gymnastics equipment, then later dipping items into the chocolate fountain, licking off the chocolate, then dipping the items again. This happened both while they were unattended AND with their moms! Staff saw this and did absolutely nothing about it. There was NO pot roast, just a lot of veggies. Practically every "hot" food...wasn't. I really thought it was me, as I haven't been feeling great, but then I read other reviews. It's not me. Certainly the chocolate fountain incident wasn't me, at the very least. Don't go, unless you're the type that sits patiently beside the dog dish until your pet shares his dinner with YOU.

This Golden Corral was better than one other Pittsburgh-area one that I have visited. We ate there on a Sunday around 11 AM. Not many customers were there yet. The buffet area was clean. The food, although cheap, was fresh and tasted good. The waiter brought out drink refills twice and continuously cleared our table. I walked out of here with a belly that stayed full for hours. The price was inexpensive for the quantity.

What can I say, it's a Golden Corral. This one in Robinson seems way worse than the others I've been to. You will not be able to walk without bumping into at least five people on your way to the buffet tables. I don't want to sound rude, but if you are fat-phobic, don't go here. If you don't mind, then I'd still recommend passing it up. I watched a kid drop a pair of tongs, look around, and then place it back on top of the biscuit plate. Most of the fruit looks like it came out of cans. The salad dressings are terrible (this is a Golden Corral thing not specific to this one). The desserts, though seemingly endless, are very bad. Do not eat the desserts. TL;DR It's a Golden Corral. Use common sense.

My first experience of this restaurant was not as bad as some reviews I saw, perhaps because it's a weekday early evening. The restaurant was not very loud or crowded. The food was not top class but for 11.99 all you can eat dinner you really can't ask much more. They did have a wide range of food choices and the atmosphere was not bad for its price tag. The waiter was nice. While he's a bit slow, I saw him clean tables very carefully so I know cleanness is something they care. Some people may hate it that they use plastic bowls and plates but I don't have a problem with that. The only thing you must beware is the deserts (many of them are not good). Overall speaking I'm satisfied with this place. You can get a full belly without spending a lot of money.

This place isn't a restaurant, it's a circus. We decided to eat here one day half as a joke and half because I was craving crappy buffet food. Well, the joke was on me. This place is a mad house. Honestly, for such a low price the food isn't half bad, but the customers acted like a bunch of animals. I guess that's to be expected from a place that corrals you (get it?) from one feeding station to the next like a herd of cows, but still. I never thought you could make Ponderosa look like a classy establishment but somehow Golden Corral does that.

Well I came here 2 years ago and I didn't like it. Yesterday I came again and I found a little bit better. My kids love it. It has wide variety of food with unlimited drink refill. I just like the wings and the steak.

Garbage, this place is a nut house. I havent been to a golden corral in 4 years. Came here today and i dont recall the food being so downhill. My biggest pet peeve aside from the food is food saftey..germs. So i waited for them to put fresh batches of food for every selection. And when they did they put the food grabbing tongs smack dab on top of the food..handle and all. I almost threw up on the kid dipping his hand in the chocolate fountain. And let me tell you about the staff...they must hire anyone. I simply went up with my gf to go get there watered down play ice cream..came back to my table and the waitress was clearing our table off...drinks, forks and all! I walked out. Joke was on me. Never again

My first time at Golden Corral and I was impressed. It was very busy (Sunday Evening at 6), but I wasn't waiting in line like a prisoner in the cafeteria. They'll cook your steak how you like it, but have plenty of steaks hot and ready if you want medium well or well done. This isn't the Ritz Carlton, but I was really surprised at the quality. I stick mostly to the American and Italian fare, and it hit the spot. My wife tried some of the Asian dishes and was pleasantly surprised as well. I was fresh off a few Mexican meals I'm rapid succession, so I stayed away from that area. However, I was again surprised by the variety of offerings I saw in that section. The desserts were also very good. I expected the crowd to be, for lack of a better term, trashy. However, considering how busy they were, everyone seemed polite and there weren't families of Honey Boo Boos pushing, shoving and screaming.

First of all my mother does not like going to the Golden Corral. My father drags here there often cause he LOVES eating at the Golden Corral. He likes it because of the variety and reasonable price. My father even tough he loves eating here does get annoyed while going thru the line because this place hustles drinks. My father gets a drink after he sits down. It is annoying for the patron to have to balance drinks to a random table. They give a Senior Citizen discount. To get the Senior Discount mom and dad just tell the Golden Corral workers that they are seniors. He likes the broccoli and fried okra. Yesterday he told mom not to get it on her plate because it was cold. Mom the EXTREMELLY picky eater gets strawberries, salad with Blue Cheese dressing, and fish but it's much too salty. Yesterday the waitress asked mom and dad how they were enjoying there meal. Mom said it's good, but it's the fish is too salty, and the waitress said: " I'm glad your enjoying your meal."??? HELLO Mom says many times when they sit down the table is sticky and they have to wait for someone to wipe it off. On a different visit mom and dad were standing in line for the cook to take steak off the grill. American cheese was near the steak that was being grilled. It was there for the cook to add it to the steak as he grills if a patron wants it. Also standing in line was a little boy and his mother. The child reached for a piece of cheese while the cook was in the back, and the cheese was never intended for the patrons to reach and take and all the slices of cheese fell onto the floor and the child put all the dropped American cheese back up onto the tray. When the cook returned my father told the cook to trash the cheese because the little boy had dropped all of it on the floor. The cook threw all the cheese into the trash. The little boy's mother also standing in line just laughed? No wonder when these students get to school they are not ready to receive an education? Yesterday mom tried dessert at the Golden Corral. Earlier mom says 3 little girls were at the chocolate fountain. One of the little girls was twirling her rice crispy treat under the chocolate fountain and she kept twirling it, and twirling it until no more chocolate would stick. Then she pulled the over chocolate covered rice crispy treat out licked it and stuck it back into the chocolate fountain. Later when mom went over to the rice crispy chocolate fountain and had to wait for 2 little boys to finish playing in the chocolate fountain for her to be close enough to reach the yellow cake. She then she could get close enough to reach for the cake that had been scored. A patron also in line with her son noticed mom was having a hard time reaching for her cake. The cake sits too far back for mom's petit arms to reach, so she told her son who was also waiting in line for cake and not one of the unattended children who were playing in the chocolate fountain to help mom reach the cake. The nice little well attended boy obeyed his mother and helped mom with her cake. Mom said when she got back to her table with her cake it tasted cheap although it was a beautifully decorated very colorful and round like a birthday cake. Mom didn't even eat it because she didn't want to waste the calories. My dad got the red velvet cake. He usually gets a plate of chocolate chip cookies. He does eat them all. Mom says If she has to be dragged in here she prefers to go in the morning because it's not as crowded or noisy. My dad too mom here when she was out if rehab and mom appreciates his taking her here even though mom had lost all if her appetite at that time. I used to joke with her and say: "Your in the 5 Grape A Day Diet" cause that's all she used to eat there.

After an afternoon of dress shopping the bride treated me to dinner. Don't laugh, but I did not know that this is a buffet. The place was packed! People were bumping into each other, trying to dodge servers, and the place felt like it needed a bath. When I got up to the buffet and started at the salad bar I was horrified to see they had run out of plates! The one server let slip that the dishwasher had broken down. Lovely! We had to use take out boxes to eat out of. There were people pushing and shoving to grab one of the few remaining clean forks. I had been smart enough to grab a handful for my table. The food itself was just ok. The fresh brewed tea was the best part. The mashed potatoes, though not exceptionally good, were made there (or so the sign read). Everything else just looked like food a toddler had just been playing with on their "special cartoon plate". The chocolate fountain is really neat. It would work better with fresher tasting goodies to dip into it though. The cherry macaroons I tried were sadly stale. The last thing I tried was the chocolate cake. It took 5 minutes to get one slice unstuck from the rest of the cake and all I could taste was icing. Never again. I like buffet style dinning too.

Pretty consistent for a Golden Corral. Lots of choices and very family friendly. Gotta love the "Help yourself to happiness" slogan. Dinner Friday night included cut to order sirloin steak, turkey and ham. Only seafood was grilled fish. I always love the homemade mashed potatoes and yeast rolls. Taco meat is a bit salty and I wish they had hard shells. Baked potato (I think they have baked sweet potato too) is very good, especially if you raid the salad bar for real bacon bits. Good service with drink refills and plate clearing. Friendly diverse crowd. The Golden Corrals down in TX seem to be both bigger and better though.

Made another visit to this place about a month ago. The food has gone down hill and really, nothing tasted that great. Not that I do the fountain things, but they weren't working and the ice cream machine was empty also. For a Friday night, it was just an awful experience. I'd rather had spent my money on fast food. Done patronizing here.

Not too bad for what you pay for. I don't go here often but when I want a cheap lunch option this one is not too bad. I would be wary of the salad meat, it did not look very good. My husband said it was rubbery and seemed like it must have been pre-packaged. Still, good for something quick and comphresenive for everyone.

Ah yes. A fat man's heaven. The trough. We've been here a few times before. Its always alright. Nothing special but nothing awful. We probably won't be going back again, though. The food's okay but there's better places to get your grub on for the price. They got all the goodies. Fried things. A salad bar. Various prepped salads (macaroni, tuna, potato, etc). There's several soups. A nacho station. A dessert station. Their claim to fame is this big grille in the middle where you can get all you can eat steak. I think its sirloin tip. Its fairly tough but its unlimited. Its also hard to get it cooked right unless you like it raw or burnt. There's a variety of sides from baked potatoes to mac and cheese to collard greens and brussel sprouts. There's pizza and bread and fried chicken and pot roast and ham. Depending on the day of the week and the season, they have different items. I dunno..we just weren't terribly impressed this time. I mean, we didn't have like unreasonably high expectations from a Golden Corral but neither of us really enjoyed it that much this time. Ironically enough, I was able to get my steak medium rare this time. If you're a big fat big and don't really care about the quality of the food you're shoving into your face, this is the place to go to. Maybe they were just having a bad day this time but we're not going back.

Eh. I'm one of those people who say that they both love and hate Golden Corral. I like the variety of food, and the quality is better than Ponderosa and Old Country Buffet. The service is questionable. You'll either get an excellent server or a lousy one. I used to wait tables, and people stiffing me on a tip always ticked me off, but I have actually walked out without leaving a tip because the service was so bad. Being busy is one thing, but when I see you hiding in a corner bull crapping with other employees when people need refills, dishes cleared, ect, that's a whole other story. The dessert station, especially when it's really busy should be avoided. They don't clean it or stock it. We sat right by the desserts the one time, and saw several unattended children sticking there hands where they shouldn't have gone. And being someone who has worked in the industry, you tend to take notice of some things. One thing I noticed is that they seriously need to have servers at slow times wipe down tables, chairs and walls. Very, very dirty. As for the steaks, impossible to get one well done unless you stand there and wait forever. They only seem to put half raw ones out for people to take.

It was great coming back to Pittsburgh and going to Golden Corral! It's been a while since I've been to an all-you-can-eat buffet. We decided to go to the location in Robinson because it's a bit cleaner. We came for lunch and the food had just been set out. Since it was the day after Memorial Day it wasn't that busy. Customer service was good. I had to closely inspect my plates and utensils as I found dried food particles stuck to them. Other than that it was a real treat to dine with family and observe how much food other people were putting on their plates and how many times they've been to the buffet.

This place was pretty bad. For 15$, we got to fill our plates from an assortment of terribly prepared foods. There is also the option to have a freshly grilled steak or other meat product. I asked for a medium well piece and was given a rare steak. At least the second time "Sir" (as his name tag said) got it right. The steak and rolls were basically the only good thing, because everything else tasted almost exactly the same - bland, cheap, and nowhere near worth what I paid. Even the drinks were bad.

Eh. I'm one of those people who say that they both love and hate Golden Corral. I like the variety of food, and the quality is better than Ponderosa and Old Country Buffet. The service is questionable. You'll either get an excellent server or a lousy one. I used to wait tables, and people stiffing me on a tip always ticked me off, but I have actually walked out without leaving a tip because the service was so bad. Being busy is one thing, but when I see you hiding in a corner bull crapping with other employees when people need refills, dishes cleared, ect, that's a whole other story. The dessert station, especially when it's really busy should be avoided. They don't clean it or stock it. We sat right by the desserts the one time, and saw several unattended children sticking there hands where they shouldn't have gone. And being someone who has worked in the industry, you tend to take notice of some things. One thing I noticed is that they seriously need to have servers at slow times wipe down tables, chairs and walls. Very, very dirty. As for the steaks, impossible to get one well done unless you stand there and wait forever. They only seem to put half raw ones out for people to take.

It was great coming back to Pittsburgh and going to Golden Corral! It's been a while since I've been to an all-you-can-eat buffet. We decided to go to the location in Robinson because it's a bit cleaner. We came for lunch and the food had just been set out. Since it was the day after Memorial Day it wasn't that busy. Customer service was good. I had to closely inspect my plates and utensils as I found dried food particles stuck to them. Other than that it was a real treat to dine with family and observe how much food other people were putting on their plates and how many times they've been to the buffet.
