Thank you for going there! There are no Golden Corral’s where I live although I’ve seen the tv commercials. Now I know it is good! You are always so humorous and good natured.
I'm originally from Los Angeles California, and would always see the Golden corral restaurants there. Thank you for taking the time to show us 😊 Food looks really good, and they have a lot of choices 👍😊
I was at the blackjack table in Harrah's N.O., I asked if there was a good buffet, the pit guy said "golden corral"... I laughed, then noticed he wasnt kidding! LOL
I've been to a few. Hoover, AL, Kennesaw, GA, Merrillville, IN, Westland, MI. There is also one in Vegas (Charleston and Lamb), and one in Henderson (Stephanie and Sunset). I'm guessing they're independently owned. Their cuisine seems to take on the local area's flavor. I would love it if you could check one of the Vegas area locations some day.
I have to go, we have one just a few miles from here. Thanks for your review. Be careful walking at night but I could see you were scanning the area, those under passes are a little scary.
Yes its a great place , I go to the one on I-20@ great southwest parkway. I live in the Red Oak area . its about 20 miles one way , but that is the closest one !
We go to the Golden Corral about once a month in Fort Worth. They are inexpensive and they had decent food. Their salad bar was always fresh, and clean. That would be a good sign for the other foods. Their fried chicken was the best.
So, after two years of watching and rewatching this and your other GC video, I finally made the rather long 40-minute drive out to A GC here in northern VA. I went early so I could take advantage of the early bird/senior price of $9.99. Verdict? The fried chicken was sooo good! The pot roast was also quite good. They had BBQ ribs that tasted good but was not falling off the bone. I ate a bunch of other things, all of which was "meh." Overall a good meal especially considering the price, but not good enough where I must go back anytime soon. But next time I visit my mom in California, there is one five minutes from her house.😀
So I lied about not going back anytime soon, because I joined their rewards program and have been eating at GC every Monday. 🤣 The price went up 50¢, but it is still ridiculously cheap. So cheap that while I normally avoid salad at buffets, I always make myself one here.
Golden Carrol is surprisingly good. The pot roast is actually some of the best pot roast Ive had. Steaks arent half bad. Fried chicken is bomb. The only thing that isnt good is the pizza but thats for the kids anyway.
Pizza will vary from locations, some i tasted bad, others reallly good; corral will vary in terms of food taste, something to do with workers I think>? or hm. Its why they get bad reviews; your experience will vary. but once you find a good location and workers, good stuff.
Dear Danny, Arlington TX is not in the middle of nowhere. It is the 2nd largest city in DFW next to Dallas. Arlington is also home to the Cowboys Stadium, Six Flags, the TX Rangers Ballpark and many other amazing entertainment facilities. Also, UT Arlington which has one of the largest nursing programs in the state, maybe even the US. It may seem like the middle of nowhere because everything is so spread out in TX compared to the rest of the United States. I hope you had a chance to partake in other local activities while you were here and I hope you enjoyed your stay. Peace out.
we have one of those here in manassas va but i like the “great American buffet” in manassas better, but both are good. please see if there is a Great American buffet in your area, but if not, you need to get your toosh over to northern va and try it out.
We eat there a lot. The pot roast is super tender and its gravy is delicious. 👍 We always hand our tip to the server because sometimes one of the customers will pick up the money on their way out.
It also makes a big difference on how busy the Golden Carrol is. If they are doing good business, the food gets rotated out quickly and stays fresh. If its a slow day, the food can dry out in the bins. Also management can make a big difference no matter where you go.
😅😅😅love the Golden Corral buffet. Fed my family of 5 for like $100 Better than many of the strip buffets for the money with good food quality. Home town comfort food
Yea that sign was a warning, Turn around don't vomit. All that food looks like it has been sitting there for days roasting away. At least now I know never to go to that Corral. People obviously have nothing to do but yet they can't clean the counters of all the spilled food. Reminds me of a McDonald's in New Orleans, what a pig sty the windows looked like they let the dogs roam around in there for years and the building was all smashed up. I thought I can't believe McDonald's would let one of their restaurants get this bad, next time I was through there it was closed down.
We had 2 senior early bird meals and 1 adult lunch w/soda. It came to $35.28 and my husband gave the kid $40. The kids gave my husband back $35.28. I had to tell this kid what he had done and he was so thankful for our honesty. Karma is a bitch and if your not honest it will come back to bite you. As far as the food tasted we enjoyed most of the items we had.
I dont believe in karma, I do the right thing whenever I can, because my heart tells me to. ALSO, people learn from mistakes that have great consequences. I woulda kept that money so I can help that kid become a better human being in the future... LOL just kidding just kidding :)
Nice review, funny, as always. Ok, Danny, I noticed you avoided a few things. Here is a hint next time. Get one of those soup bowls, take a corn bread and crumble it up in the bottom of the bowl. Then place a scoop of those greens (not the Kale looking ones, the other one's) on top of the corn bread, then finish off the with a scoop of the Black Eyed Peas and top it off with five or six pieces of the fried okra. They will think you're a local.
@@TamaraInTanzania that’s been the meal on New Year’s Day for the past 35 years or so, and of course, any other chance I get in between. It’s 5:30 in the morning right now and your reply just made hungry!
The only thing I don't like about buffets is so many hands touched the serving spoon's and tongs. People at their table lick their fingers, cough in their semi closed fists, touch their faces, all kind of body parts. I go get a plate, spoon and fork pick what I want with the fork and spoon. Next time I go back, new plate, spoon and fork.
"I go get a plate, spoon and fork pick what I want with the fork and spoon. Next time I go back, new plate, spoon and fork." I will add to that! so many people touch the tongs, then lick their parts, then with the same hand go and get a brand new plate. The plates are stacked so their hand not only touches the top plate, but also the plate underneath it, which is the plate you end up getting! *horror emojie* . but honestly, there is only one thing I would worry about in this scenario, is when I will be eating with my hands instead of a fork or chopsticks. where the touching of those mass handled tongs may transfer norovirus. :)
@@dannythemedic I could see that it was slow. Our restaurant in town used to be busy all the time before they closed. It seems that the Covid-19 restrictions have permanently closed most buffets, which is sad - for the customers and the people that used to work there.
Mr Danny, A BIG NO NO in a restaurant for a cashier/cook! What happen to their HYGIENE AND SANITATION rules!?!?!?! Perhaps, the Manager have no idea about sanitation.
I love Golden Corral. They are getting hard for find up here in Seattle. I'd agree it looks generic and the presentation is "school lunch". The food does the talking. Once again a hole in the wall is best.
@@dannythemedic tried Bellagio in the past and found the taste too fancy for my buds. Before there was Bachannal I believe the Wynn had the best buffet.
That's a good idea. How would I walk out without getting caught? I haven't been there in a while. It's kind of ghetto, but I'd get my money worth if I could sneak out with a few extra leftover meals.
Not having what 95% of the people who eat there drink, that "No Tea" sign is a little lets say frightening to say the least. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come.
The narrator should have brought along someone who knows the menu. I have not been in a GC in more than two years, and I could tell you what all the dishes are...I'm just saying.
ah.. I will explain. my videos are vlogs of my experiences, which I put up on youtube for entertainment of others... because it is vlogs, I keep it as REAL as it can be, and these are how my experiences are naturally. Some ppl say I shouldnt do a video of a buffet at 3pm because it is not fair to the buffet OR they say I should learn about the food before making a video, or this and that, but they are thinking of real professional TV or something... I just do vlogs, I get hungry at 3pm, or I would go and try something new and not know about it... and I also am the type that dont ask what something in a buffet is if I dont know it and there is no sign, I am just that kind of person and my videos reflect that.. i thank you for commenting!
I love Golden Corral. Mad respect to you for being so open. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Thank you for going there!
There are no Golden Corral’s where I live although I’ve seen the tv commercials.
Now I know it is good!
You are always so humorous and good natured.
oh you dont ever have to thank me for me going to eat! LOL.. thank you for watching!
Yummo 💖 the Golden Corral. Tons of varieties.
I'm originally from Los Angeles California, and would always see the Golden corral restaurants there. Thank you for taking the time to show us 😊 Food looks really good, and they have a lot of choices 👍😊
The $50 Vegas Buffets have gotten so bad that $20 Golden Corral starts looking good. LOL.

@@dannythemedic There is one in St George Utah as well. But my friend was telling me it's not as good as the one as you ate in Arlington.
Under that bridge was kinda spooky. Glad you are alive.
alive to walk under more spooky stuff!
I have to go, we have one just a few miles from here. Thanks for your review.
Be careful walking at night but I could see you were scanning the area, those under passes are a little scary.
Thanks, I would visit this Golden Corral often especially for breakfast. Before COVID. Always found food tasty.
WOW!!! what are the chances that you found my video! LOL
@@dannythemedic yes, it in my view Dan, and I thank you. And also happy you enjoyed your dinner.
Yes its a great place , I go to the one on I-20@ great southwest parkway. I live in the Red Oak area . its about 20 miles one way , but that is the closest one !
Great review and video! Now I want to find one near me!
You should! LOL...thanks for watching!
The beef stew next to the white rice is terrific. At lunch they usually have bourbon chicken. Glad you enjoyed it
Sounds great!
If all golden corral are the same foods, I will try that beef stew next time!
I love your reviews!
Glad you like them! thanks!

I wish there was a golden corral near me...
Really enjoy your videos. Now I am very hungry for dinner and it is only 7 am. Be well and safe.
ha ha!! thanks! they are also open for brunch! lol

I drive to Tracy ca from North Fremont ca to go to a Golden Corral because it's that good. You have to try the yeast rolls.
whoa thats like an hour drive...
You really get a good deal if you love a good salad bar and American food. Salad bars are hard to find.
Ruby Tuesdays had a great unlimited salad bar... Back when I went that was.... long ago...
I cracked up at you trying to get the 12 year old discount😂
That's a great price 👍👍 .... I did notice a bag of hot dogs on the floor though lol 🤷🏽♂️
Oh no!

A plug for Arlington. Take away Gov. Abbott and Texas is very nice. Old infrastructure falling apart needs to be addressed.
@@truthseeker3909Love Texas. Verbs are hard for some people.
When the asain guy says, "it looks like Asian food, I'm not really sure what it is" you should probably not eat the Asian food.

We eat there a lot. The pot roast is super tender and its gravy is delicious. 👍 We always hand our tip to the server because sometimes one of the customers will pick up the money on their way out.
when people do that, makes me hate society!
Also check out my watch channel! It used to be all one channel, but I had to split the topics to better serve the viewers!
Wow really reasonable price! 😃
One time the Cherry Pie was full of Mold so I posted a pic on their Facebook Page and they sent me a $20 gift card...lol
was the gc moldy? lol
For more cherry pie?
The cook your own steak got me!
Danny being on the road I've eaten at various Corrals and surprisingly, although a "chain", the food/quality differs at each one sometimes
makes me wonder how mcd and wendys and such are able to have such consistency..
It also makes a big difference on how busy the Golden Carrol is. If they are doing good business, the food gets rotated out quickly and stays fresh. If its a slow day, the food can dry out in the bins. Also management can make a big difference no matter where you go.
😅😅😅love the Golden Corral buffet. Fed my family of 5 for like $100
Better than many of the strip buffets for the money with good food quality. Home town comfort food
Omg walked along the hwy.
Correction: Arlington is the 3rd largest city in DFW...Dallas being #1, Fort Worth being #2.
Something for everyone. YUM

There are some rice dishes (e.g. Spanish paella and Chinese clay pot rice) where people want the rice to be hard and dry.

its black eyed peas.
It was fried okra, a common southern dish.
The fried chicken is the best thing there. 🍗
I was considering going to this exact location but I think salt grass will be a better choice now 😂
go to both!
They should have people cleaning behind people that don't know how to put food on there plate. If it's not there house they don't care.
From Miami Golden Corral hood they have more Latina and American food and black rice but one time I went to Dothan Alabama golden coral🔥
where in Arlington is this one located ?
Golden Corral #976
465 East Interstate 20

Very salty food. Most veggies are from the cans. I'd rather spend my money at either In and Out burger or Whata burger.
Those burger places are pretty good too
its fried okra. just answering you as i watch this, lol
our local GC sucks.. picked over old food, empty pans, staff not bothering to replace empty items.. we avoid them now
Dang I just went to this exact location and price for an adult is now $23 lol
WHAT? that is asking too much for a Golden Corral!
This is a steal of a deal.. so much variety. Vegas buffets are such a ripoff these days. Would rather eat here than at most Vegas buffets these days.
i do hope vegas buffets return to their glory of the past... some of my favorites were the Aria, bellagio, and the sterling brunch. sigh...

it was fried ocra
I'd have to bring a few gallon sized Ziplocs to have leftovers to make it worth my while.

Tried Golden Corral California one time. Pretty much everything sucked. Walked out shorthanded and dissatisfied
even at that low of a price?
Yeah it was bland.the variety was off the charts though.Just didn't pan out.pun intended.

Half of the containers are half or empty
ah yes, so true.. I have eaten in third world countries...
Golden Corral in Arizona is awful. The place is dirty and the food is either too salty or bland.
HAHAHA 😅
