Golden Corral Buffet & Grill

I love Golden Corral, I really do. But unfortunately, I'm tasked with telling the truth. The corn was mushy and unseasoned. The taco bar was a joke. No salsa, cheese, lettuce, basically all the condiments were non-existent other than the meat. I had to head over to the salad area to fully assemble my tacos. Another thing, the tomatoes being in quarters is completely unnecessary. They need to be more bite-size for salads and tacos. The saving grace, as always, was the amazing steak. No I don't really expect much from an all-you-can-eat buffet, I know corners are cut and you're not really there for a service. But there has to at least be a quality of a good food

An average experience, no different than any other bargin buffet. The food: The selections was very typical ranging from American classics, to bad taco bell knock off, and a very boring salad bar. They do have some great dishes but really don't add any wow factor or even relatable Community foods. El cajon location has a huge variety of cultures with Hispanic, middle eastern, Somali, Asian, none of which are represented here except the really bad taco bell style crunchy tacos. They did have some southern dishes which were passable to a non southerner. Price: actually a little lower than expected at less than $20 for a weekday dinner. Customer service: nice enough employees, the grill master cooking up steaks was the key person there. Everyone knew him and talked to him. He was a great guy and really went above and beyond to ensure your dining experience. Location: great location, easy to get to, plenty of parking and about a block from downtown El cajon to walk off all that food. Deco

I never review as low as this but hey long story short. Really nice service not gonna lie. But the food, less than I expected, and for the price???? Not worth it at all. Npw I ain't saying is the worse, again, to each their own but in this case. I give it 6/10 stars. AND if you go here, get the steak and sautee fish, and the chubby bread, the best here.
