Sons of Thunder
This is the second or third time in several years I've been to this location. This was a good experience, everyone in our group were able to find things on the menu (buffet) they enjoyed. Or servers were a mother and son who work at the same restaurant (our group sat in two servers areas) and they took good care of us. The food was good, a little more seasoning in cooking would have gotten 5 stars. Overall good experience. I would go back with a group when I'm in that area.

This was such a pleasant experience. An all you can eat buffet including steak (sirloin), barbecue, chicken, shrimp, salad bar, potato bar, soups, chili, and a multitude of desserts: icecream, cakes, cheese cake, fudge, brownies, cookies, and all kinds of toppings. Everyone found something delicious to suit their tastes. Our waitress was so attentive and helpful with refreshing our drinks and clearing the table of used plates. Our large party of 5 adults and 4 children were able to find comfortable seating. Thank you Golden Corral for a great time.

The food was ok. The waitress staff don't really check on you unless you really pull one of them to the side or I guess because of covid. I did have a waitress that finally came to our table. Her name was Whitney and she was excellent. They provide gloves for food handling. No chocolate pie 😕😢. I would probably revisit.

I'm a big fan of Golden Corral and the one on Forest Drive in Columbia has never disappointed me. I usually just grab some food to go, but I have eaten inside at least on 1 occasion and the service was very good. The food is delicious, the price is right and the options are plenty.

Walked in and it immediately smelled really funky! Should of left right then, but gave it a chance.WENT FOR BREAKFAST…. They have 3 bar set ups minus the salad bar and each one was THE SAME EXACT FOODS! Food wasn’t fresh and I was there around 8am. Would NOT recommend breakfast at all HERE!!!!!

Me and my family are now just leaving this location at 7:30pm on 7/5/22. We have enjoyed this location in the past and is usually a favorite of ours…but today was very different. As we walk in, a wave of heat hit us that was hotter than the heat outside. Secondly the prices had been raised since our last visit which would not have been a problem had the selection and quality of food been better. The best thing there was the salad bar. Steaks were subpar, desserts looked so sad like they didn’t even want to be there. Overall just an experience that I wouldn’t want to relive and my family has decided to take this location off of our rotating list of family night restaurants.

Food was pretty tasty. Place was clean and staff was okay. My server was slow to fill drinks. But. All in all it was good.

Fried food was cold. Baked fish was hard as a brick. Chocolate fountain was a chocolate puddle. Cashier did not know how to apply coupons and looked at us like we were stupid for questioning a total of $68 for 3 people. Manager had to get involved but he was not much better than the clueless cashier...rude. It was supposed to be $51. We went because we had a free birthday meal but not worth it. The prices keep increasing while this place goes downhill. The only bright spot was our server Joe. We won't be back even with a free meal coupon. Awful experience.

We have the opportunity to visit Golden Corral in Columbia South Carolina after my nephew's graduation from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy law enforcement so we decided on the place where families and friends would gather for our lunch and Golden Corral was first choice and I can truly say it was the best choice we really enjoyed the meal we ate the buffet and it was excellent very hot food and tasty everything so neat and clean will visit again when we are in the Columbia Area. waitress was off the chain very nice treat us courteous and with respect everyone was just so friendly thank you Golden Corral for making our day we really enjoyed our meal continue with the good job I gave it a 5-star but I rate you as A-10 oh so delicious yours truly S.TAKEALL from Saint Stephen South Carolina�

Went there yesterday. The food was good, but not one waitress or waiter waited on us. They walked past us like we were not there. They waited on the booth behind us and in front. To get a refill of drinks, I had to walk up to the front counter. The last there did bring us our refills. Even after that no one came to our table. Worst device ever.
Brian Lewis
Oh my goodness! I am so full it hurts! First time there (Sunday afternoon) place was packed but NO problem getting seated quickly. Food was hot, good variety, tasty. Staff worked hard for such a crowd....big shout out to our waiter Bryant! GREAT attitude and SUPER service, thank you! Scallop skewers were small but no complaints. We never eat at buffet style restaurants but we will return for sure.
Ps. You won't find a better price for what you get. Please take good care of your servers. Ask for BRYANT ;)

I hadn't been to a Golden Corral in yeeeeears and so I was a little pensive about going back after so long but it was so worth it, oh my gosh! The entire staff was wonderful! Even when the drink machine messed up and just gave us carbon water instead of Sprite, they handled everything with care and great customer service! I will definitely be back if they're like this all the time!!!
Aaron Prewitt
The food was decent. The restaurant was an absolute mess. Trash all over the floor and it smelt pretty bad. Service was good

I went to golden corral today with my mother and sons. It was very crowded so it took a while to be seated, once we was seated it took us 30 mins to make our way to the bar to get food. The food wasnt good at all ,then they started sitting people so close that one of the customers hair fell in my food. My mom seat was pulled so close that the table was hurtting her stomach area. We then decide to leave and talk to a manger.We spoke with a manger lisa on forest drive in Columbia SC who was the one who pushed the tables so close together. She told us because we had been there for a hour there was nothing she could do about it. I then told her it took us thirty mins to get something to eat she repeated theres nothing i can do. And walked off i will never go back there, Or recommend this place to no one ever. I will spread the word to all my coworkers and family and friends here and other areas about this place

They charged $14.89 for adults and went out of their way to give our seniors a whopping .80 cent discount. Unbelievable how greedy that is. Nothing extra in buffet for price to be raised. I was sweating in a button shirt because A/C was pretty much nonexistent. Place could definitely be cleaner. Steak was very good. A lot of improvement needed since it is the only one in the area.
Cynthia Sweets
The food was good and hot. The waitress and the staff behind the serving bars was great. The cashier was terrible. Will return one day.
Alan Cripps
I enjoyed my steak. It was nice and juicy. Not much of a salad selection. And a small seafood selection. The waitress did a good job.
Sean Byrd Smoke
Well the waitress was good refilled our drinks. My kids got there steaks that they wanted. We ate good and all. On my way out I seen the most nastiest thing you will ever see. The grill master of the steaks was standing on the grill why idk. Last time I'll ever eat there.
Ashema Hackett
Waitress (Cherry) was very kind and attentive. Sweet tea was delicious but the quality of food was horrible!! All of the meat was either dried out or over cooked and the selection of food was limited. I won’t be back
Pete Stevens
How does this place stay in business? Awful food at ridiculous prices. Nothing but a food trough,
Joshua Gilbert
This was the busiest place I have ever been to, the food was edible. I wouldnt say it was a bad experience, but the staff needs to step up their game for a better experience
Madalyn Cannon
I had an absolutely complete & satisfying meal: salad, steak(cooked the way I wanted), bake potatoe w/butter & sour cream...and homemade bread pudding served hot...& of course sweet tea w/lemon!!!...� � �...My husband & I both ate for less than $30...& you can't beat that nowhere in Columbia baby!..�
