I hope this is the correct way to post a complaint. This is about the Golden Corral restaurant on 4145 College in Beaumont, Texas.

We ate at this restaurant tonight. A few minutes after we got there, a small church group arrived and one man parted from the group and sat by himself directly behind our table. The restaurant wasn't very busy at all, so this was strange. The man later proved to have some mental problems. He kept commenting on everything we ate (from the buffet), and if we didn't eat it all, he would outburst about poor countries and the Tsunami where they don't have anything to eat. At one point, he yelled at my nine year old sister for wasting food. "Is she really eating an ice cream after not eating all that food? Is she going to eat the rest of that? That's why the prices keep going up and up and up! Unbelievable!" What was really strange is that he sat there so meekly after these tirades and was even nice a couple of times. After telling a waitress and asking her to speak to him, we saw her go over and consult with some other wait staff, but then she just came over and wiped up the tables around the man. To my knowledge, nothing was ever said to him. After eating at Golden Corral many times, I never will again. Not after that experience. If he had been spoken to, it wouldn't have been so bad and I probably would want to come back. And guess what..right now I don't care at all about poor countries. Way to get your message across!

I am not filing a complaints. I leave in Delaware and we use to have a Old Country buffet located hwy 58 Churchman Rd in New Castle DE across from Christiana Hospital. They Close during the Corona Pandemic and did not open back up. I was wondering if this would be a good location for a Golden Corral because we do not have one in New Castle DE.

We had a carry out and I paid $20.00 for it. The food tasted like old grease. Not just one thing but everything but the ribs because they were OK. I won't ever go back and spend that much money again at Golden Corral.

Our Golden Corral in Milledgeville, GA closed down. It was always busy and good food. You should consider opening another store in our area. Its a growing area and college town so opportunities would abound. There are people who would need a job. We are fans of Golden Corral and want to continue to come to eat there. Please come back to our area.

this is difficult to address, but one of the employees had hygiene issues. Strong body odor. Someone should kindly address this. other than that friendly staff and good food. staff was very attentive to our needs and restaurant was clean.

Workers called the police on my wife because she picked up her own burger with her hand without touching any other burgers and they asked the police to ask her to leave.

As i was eating preparing to get my next plate my niece spits her food out and points out a roach behind me... I went to inform the manager and he asked what i wanted done, no apology, no remorse. My niece asked for a refund which he gave then when i asked for the same he gets manager Steve to come deal with me... Steve was rude calls me an idiot

On January 7th I went to a golden corral in Royal Palm Beach for a breakfast and I saw a platter of food that seemed to be some sort of hash brown casserole. So I decided that it would be a good choice to try it. But I was sadly mistaken, the food tasted like literal dog food. I would like to know whether that was a joke or a true food.

May 18 2018 at dinnwe time i sat down server never made eye contact introduced herself she only came to the table twice. I had to flag down other servers just to get a refill. Im not a complainer but this is the worst service that i ever had. I am a server myself and i would never ignore one of my customers.

When I went to this "all you can eat" buffet the waitress was rude and the manager made it clear to us that we could only have one fork per person and continue to eat with that fork with every meal including desert. When it used to be we could get silverware whenever we wanted and the ice cream machine was down like how ? Poorly I hated it

Since the new management has taken over at The Golden Corral in Sedalia, Missouri the food is terrible and the restaurant is not clean. I'm not the only one who thinks the same thing. We have stopped going there for that reason.
Hope you can look into this.

Thank you.
Hazel Slack.

I personally would have asked the wait staff to move us, away from him, if the resturant was that empty, or maybe went to the head of the church group and see if they could refrain the gentleman from the comments, agree is correct in statements but not as to where he was saying them and to who he was saying them. I guess if you like the food and have a good time normally, I would not stop going...

I agree that someone from the G C staff should have told him to keep his mouth shut or leave. You paid to eat the buffet so you deserve to get to eat diner in peace. And I say screw the poor countries. Kids dying of malnutrition, sounds like the parents should have thought before they brought them into a disease infested third world armpit. this is America. Home of the over weight and wasteful. It's our rite to be this way.

If that man was asking you not to waste food, where in the world he was wrong?
you should teach kids not to waste food. its not only the problem of poor countries its a global fear factor.
and wht the hell you mean by saying you dont care about poor countries? you dont care about dying people?
you dont care about children suffering from malnutrition?

I don't agree how the message by the man was delivered; but I do agree with his message. I have been to the buffets; and people leave a lot of good food uneaten. The price keeps going up; and, this may be the reason. Parents should teach their children not to be wasteful in all aspects of their life. The way you ended the complaint, says to me; that no message delivered any way; would, make a difference to you folks. The Golden Corral has a good buffet; and they decided not to make this situation into something bad.

Why didn't you tell the guy to pound sand? We really do live in the age of the wimp! If that guy was sitting behind me he would've been out the door on his rear.
