Dirty Dining: Golden Corral

- This restaurant chain is known for its endless buffet but just last month, the place was shut down for rodent activity with the inspector commenting "there were too many to count" rodent droppings.
"Recently, you were shut down for a rodent infestation." "... No, we had a hot water heater that went out." ... LOL YEAH RIGHT!!!
@@HBK970 bro stop thistin
To be fair, buffets in general aren't very hygienic...
hygienic
That's not true sounds fancy but not true people take pride in keeping their restaurants clean most people not nasty or else they would be shut down
Unicorn Lady (formerly archiecook55) it is true ,we do mostly buffets with catering business,and many people nasty today,lick their hands when they get something on them ,then proceed to touch every other serving tinsel on the line, or use a serving utinsel feom one item and stick it on other items down the line,great if it’s seafood so people with a seafood allergy can get sick and many other infractions,we try to keep the lines constantly wiped down,but when you have a long line of people it gets difficult,with out always saying excuse me and move in between people
@@MissX33 Not all of us. I personally haven't been to one since I was a child
If you want flowing diarrhea 40 minutes after you leave this dump, something like their flowing chocolate fountain, go to Golden Corral.
Just cook at home
Julian C yes
Juls c I agree
I would agree in most cases but sometimes you wanna go out with family or friends and eat something prepared in a certain way
@@chrisbruzon811 yeah
It's very true! I quit on my 3rd day after seeing what goes on in the back. Fruits and veggies left out in the back hall next to the trash compactor. I even sent pictures to my younger daughter since her mom likes to go there at least once a week. They stopped going afterwards. And for the record, the managers do NOT check temps of any food. If it falls on the floor, or was left outside while health inspectors were there, they still served it to the patrons. Nothing new to see here...it's been going on long before GC opened its doors. And that is why I cook my own meals at home.
True that
I want an order of rat shit fried rice, and maggot chicken.
Oh and can I get a scoop of the used band-aid pudding
this is why people should eat at mom and pop restaurants rather than fast food corporations...mom and pops usually pay their employees better and take pride in their local reputation...not to mention the money stays in the local economy
krashsinger totally agree
krashsinger couldn't agree any more
Agat Fi It's a locally owned business--the owners are families who live & work near their business, which they personally run daily.
Couldn't agree more. I live in a small country town, and we have a pizza place called "Spinners Pizza and pasta" and it beats any large pizza chain.
Jordan Sharpe your local food restaurants not big chains like McDonald's or Domino's. for example mom and pops food is a lot better were u from
that old dude was a trip. "They've had rodent droppings found by inspectors..." "WOW-OOOOOOO!"
I was thinking the same thing lol
"Recently, you were shut down for a rodent infestation"
"No, we had a hot water heater go out" ......sure you did lol
For those of you who aren't fluent in Weaseltalk, "We're in compliance with the Health Department; we check the temperature 4 times a day." translates to: "We write down the temperatures because we have to, we just don't do anything about it if they're not acceptable." It's all about the record-keeping.
no, hes about money saving, he gives zero shits about the service, he only wants more money because hes the manager
60 rats disliked this video.
Icelandic Potato fuckin funny.
lol
Icelandic Potato 😹😹😹😹
🤣
Haha!!!!!
I once made a mistake by walking into a Golden Corral in Indiana on my way to Chicago. It was a bunch of dirty, morbidly obese people shoving plates and plates of food in their mouths! Then this couple walked in both had to be tipping the scales at 350+ were demanding a table closer to the buffet. God forbid you burn 2 calories walking to the buffet before you consume 10,000 calories! Makes me want to vomit thinking about it
Castor Troy I’m not fat I can almost see my penis
Disgusting
Sounds like a shithole lol
No matter where you eat out even if it's not bugs. Can be the employees. Sneezing, not washing hands, etc. Anymore I would be afraid to send anything back.
Jose he no wash hands after a s#it!
So sad because Golden Corral has done so much for us veterans.
@@SlavicUnionGaming Russian food is whack af and y'all live in gulags soo
fuqq da troopz
Hey Russian Federation, I hope Russia get bombed and all the people and future families and generations to come SUFFER in agony
That was my immediate thought: as someone who's worked in a variety of restaurants over 20 years, being pro-active instead of re-active is always been the most important thing I've tried to impress on fellow employees
People shouldn't eat at buffets. You have NO idea what you're putting in your bodies.
But i love buffets
+jose lopez loool
+jose lopez buffets for life!
Um, I have worked for Country Buffet and now Golden Corral and I depend on my job there to pay the bills, thanks for trying to push people away from my place of employment.
The health of thousands of people who eat at these unsanitary buffets is more urgent than you individually keeping your job.
i once asked a lady "do you realize a fly is on your spoon of food". She said "he wont eat much."
T mo Lol!!!!😂
WTF 😂😂😂😂 LMAO BEST COMMENT ON HERE
i stopped eating there when I saw a little kid touching at the buns and putting them back. The chocolate fountain was dirty and chocolate was everywhere. Children and people coughed all over the food. I will literally starve before I go there.
Golden Corral, is a corral alright! Corral of nastiness. I once found a hair in the mashed potatoes.
you are lucky , that's all that was in there
If I found a hair in the food I would walk out the door instantly
link to the video please!!
Key word in that manager's response "react" in regards to the inspection findings. They should be proactive, not reactive.
it's the manager's fault. this is not representative of all Golden Corrals.
Bullshit
As of February 7th 2018 I visited Golden Corral last night in Dallas it cost over $17 to get a plate of food with a drink now! There is no senior dinner special which for the last several years has been a total of $10.27. Golden Corral has gone up over $5/ per meal for seniors! I can't afford to eat there anymore. $17 for all you can eat seems like a ridiculous price to me and the manager admitted they have seen a drop off in customers. To hell with them
What a shame!
Russell Crawford Sorry old-timer, but $17 is around average for a mid-range buffet these days (I don't believe GC qualifies as mid-range, though). I agree that it's too much for the crappy food they serve. Even at lower-end Asian buffets you can expect to pay between $12-$14. Things are getting more expensive for everyone. If you want to save money cook at home.
Shit, for $17 i'll hit the supermarket & fix my own food at home.
i easily can earn a good amount of money just for part time
I don't think they give discounts on weekends. The one in North Richland Hills really jacks up the price on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and other special days.
it's the best place to go when your stoned
Yup, the rat shit contaminated food will surely hit the spot.
I refuse to eat at any buffet.
Good for you. I work at Golden Corral and am proud of our establishment.
+HBK970 I wouldn't be Golden Corral is nasty!
Because our store is ranked 24th in the nation.
HBK970 the food tastes like shit.
xxEmpty Promisesxxx it’s all frozen, canned food, it’s fucking disgusting. You may like it since you cook with shit ingredients and got used to it.
Cook your own food
Thank God That Here in Massachusetts they are such hard asses about sanitation and safety where food is concerned! I never once have took sick from eating a meal at Golden Corral!
Hey, Elephant Bar in Concord, California was temporarily closed by the health department for reserving uneaten food off of customers plates. Short time later, boom! Same thing, only with a 3 month shut down penalty. Within a year they got busted for the same reason, and now this location was closed permanently by the health department. My son saw it first hand, he was their bartender.
This is nothing, coming from working as a dish washer from hometown buffet. So many violations you couldn't believe .
The fucking size of that rat footprint@ 2.26!
i went to a golden corral once. it was so dirty inside , i walked right out.
I've got my problems with the FDA (mostly with their being in bed with the industries they are tasked with overseeing), but they can and do good work, just not all the time. We have to stop thinking that all federal agencies are evil in some way. Some are, and some are some of the time. But I do believe that it is necessary to have government oversight, otherwise, we would have something close to total anarchy.
Those little raccoon footprints at 2:25 made me lol.
"IT IS BETTER TO DIE WITHOUT HONOR, THAN TO DIE WITH DISHONOR. - WORF.
I won't go to Golden Corral anymore because every time there will be a pair of 6 foot wide women walking hip to hip and blocking the entire main aisle.
"We just found out that your restaurant is nasty, inside & out. 11 health department visits in a year. Care to comment?"
Ummm... no. We had a water heater that went out."
Ohhhh. Well. That explains everything.
I'm satisfied.
I didnt even know people ate at Golden Coral. I thought it was just a cover.
I always see this buffet and to this day its still closed it says on the sign “temporary closed”
The secret is going to a buffet that is attached to a hotel. If they poison their customers, they are stuck cleaning it up for the next week.
I quit dining at Golden Corral a decade ago.
Same
I used to work at a Golden corral in omaha and they bleach the chicken when it starts to smell rotten so they can still cook it.among other things.
But the money was GREAT.
That manager sounded sarcastic
You take your chances at *any* restaurant. I know a guy who's nearly 40 y/o, has a minimum wage "career" as a cook, has 4 kids with 4 different women, and can't support himself, much less any of his kids. He lives in a rundown trailer that his 4th baby mama owns that is a rathole, that reeks of dog urine. The sink hasn't worked in over a year, so they leave piles of dirty dishes in it, and wash in the bathroom sink when they need a plate. He smokes and is filthy. He's made food at a friend's place many times, and he makes a mess. He'd use potholders, leave them with a goopy mess on them and put them back in the drawer. Any time he used the oven, he left food droppings that baked on the oven. He worked a long time at a fancy country club, where he made minimum wage and was abused by the boss, yet kept working there. I realized why he stayed there so long after he finally quit, and in rapid succession, got 5-6 different cook jobs from which he was fired for being a fuck-up. Another friend of mine works in a country club office in advertising. She says that their head chef is also mean, and that the cooks are constantly leaving and being replaced, and they are not choosy. It is the place to get a job when you get out of prison. My point is that food service gets the scum of society, even in fancy places, so you're likely paying to eat their filth.
That's so sad
I'm a messy person too but that person needs a good kick in the ass.
I'm a messy person too but that person needs a good kick in the ass.
Amen, brother !
That's why no buffets is too much to be on point
This manager did better than most at answering questions. Most places wouldn't even allow a camera to come inside.
There is a reason why it costs 5 dollars to eat all that garbage. The food comes in frozen every 3 weeks, and is made by some disgruntled middle age dude, and the people serving are kids who can't find jobs anywhere else, and don't take their job seriously. I mean fuck, who would? "I do my best everyday to make sure that this restaurant meets all health standards, and make sure the food here is fantastic!"- said no golden coral employee ever!
The father of a friend of mine was a restaurant inspector, and she said he would never eat in a restaurant because they all have some violations.
YA GOTTA CORRAL THOSE RODENTS
Port Richey?
The Chocolate Wonderfall is a wonderful air cleaner. Every speck of dust, dander, virus and germs in the air is trapped in the chocolate, to be circulated over and over for months.
I've been in couple of these Golden Coral places... I can't believe this chain holds up, they both were dirty and badly managed in general.
I ate my last meal at Golden Corral two days ago when I caught a glance into the Kitchen.
I ate there literally ONCE... I did in fact notice this young kid drop plastic tongs from the cookie platter.. so he picks them up off the floor, and just placed them right back on the cookies. anyone like wisteria ???
oh shit
you're just a priss
swaggerlevel90001 I would agree that sometimes I can be a priss.
Wisteria is a lovely flower 🏵
+Andrea Tyree L
The golden corral i work at is spiff and clean
Why Golden Corral? WHY?
I wouldn't touch a Golden Corral with a ten foot pole.
And this was _before_ Brandon Huber....damn!
I'm very surprised that golden corral is still in business
Lol the manager looks guilty as hell when talking
When the "restaurant" behaves in an un-civil way, then it is the job of the appropriate government officials to set things right or close them down. In effect, the "restaurant" was behaving as a child, therefore must be treated as one until they can prove they can act as adults by assuring their customers that the place is clean and safe to eat in.
I worked at Golden Corral in missouri .
Not every restaurant is the same some are dirty some are clean .
The one I worked at was clean with food but dirty with washing plates we just rise water on them even on forks and stuff that’s why I always re wash my dish and always get Plastic ones everywhere I go
I left in line out the door when I started seeing people's kids with snotty running noses running up touching food with there hands and put things back and not using utensils.
Yea, that many violations indicates an incompetent management and lazy staff.
Home town buffet, Golden coral are all nasty filthy places. I service kitchen equipment for a living, I've been in these places and have witnessed nasty food cross contamination, food and trays left all over the kitchen. They dont prioritize cleaning until the end of shift.
How Disgusting........I Don't think I'll dine in ANY Golden Corral Any Time Soon......!!!!!!!!!
All " Golden Shitholes " are dirty .... I went to one seen a family of rats hot tubbing it in the pudding area.
I hope she told those customers before they dined and not after.
Remind me to never go to Golden Corral whenever I'm in the states again. This is deplorable!!!!
Never ever goin here
OMG I never been to a Golden Corral so I figured what the hell, I took a friend there for dinner. What's REALLY making me sick is that it was AT THE ONE IN THE VIDEO IN PORT RICHEY! I live 7 miles from it. It was in about 2016 so hopefully it's wasn't like in 2010 but I do know I would never go back even before watching this video today. I overheard the "manager" tell an employee "I told you you can't put vegetables where you just had meat without sanitizing it. I should of just bolted then. Luckily we didn't get sick!
Temperature issues are bull shit. Seriously, how often do we keep food at room temperature at home regularly? Do people get sick? The answer is usually no. I've worked at companies that leave food out like Pizza, subs, and the like out in room temperature for their employees in the break rooms, but no one cites them for health violations and I've NEVER heard of any complaints about employees getting sick for eating pizza left out in room temperature for over 4 hours.
Bubble gum in the salad dressing, dirty kids sneezing on the salad!!!
they are only sorry afterwards but before that nothing gets cleaned because of their greed
DONT EAT OUT PEOPLE !!!!!
Eat at home
Every golden corral is like this. The people that eate there have 3 bellies
Always (used to)go here on my birthday. Not anymore
Wow, that's the exact one I used to eat at, glad I made the decision to never eat there again, even before watching this video
This is why I don't go out and rather cook myself. It may take longer for me to make but at least I ain't gotta worry about people being careless and getting me sick.
I am not a buffet person. . . when I go out to eat, I want to sit down and be served. I can only hope the restaurant's I go to are in compliance. That's all we the public can do. As a former food service provider, I know the challenges of maintaining proper temps. It's a constant. Not 4 times a day as this mgr stated.
When the hell are they gonna close this chain DOWN???
lol, i was like, "at least this isn't the one i go to", but the i heard us 19, and i realized it is the one i go to
Went to the bathroom here and somebody had shit their draws and left them in the sink. I'll eat at a golden corral again when I.... well actually I'd rather starve to death.
golden coral just sounds dirty to even pronounce
Every restaurant is a shit storm. EVERY ONE. Especially when it's busy. When it's busy, they don't have time to check temps or clean up. They are trying to get the food orders out as fast as they can. If you eat at Applebee's, or Chili's, or Red Lobster, or ANY chain restaurant.... KNOW your food is mingling with dirty hands (even gloved hands.. gloves never get changed). They change day dots on past due foods to save on food costs, and keep corporate happy. McDonalds... ANY MCDONALDS is cleaner than any Applebee's or Red Lobster. Don't fool yourself thinking this is only at buffets. At least at McDonalds... you know you're getting processed, frozen shit. But it's not gonna kill you like the shit I've seen in "regular" restaurants. Just ask to see the kitchen during a rush and you'll see for yourself.
I'm with you on that one. No restaurant is perfect. I'm not saying that just because Golden Corral is my favorite restaurant. But, everyone will always have opinions. And just so you know, I do understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, I believe that no one should be biased all just because of one bad experience.
I'm a conservative, and I think the government needs a hand in this. I think they should be stricter. People eat this shit, it needs to be safe. I'll agree the government likes to over reach its bounds, but food safety is not one of those fields, sometimes it is necessary.
Let’s ask ourselves a question- how can you trust a restaurant with children sneezing and coughing around exposed food.
No restaurant is perfect. I'm not saying that just because Golden Corral is my favorite restaurant. Everyone will always have opinions.

How can they be regulars if they didn't know it was closed down in April????????
robin bowles Eating ROACHES causes memory loss
These temps that aren't cold enough or hot enough are b/c the restaurant is just trying to not spend the money to heat or cool properly.
in St Louis , it looks like a pride of lions on a zebra
dude, im gonna puke, and i don't even eat there.
Rats have meat, the people have Knives. I see no problem here.
Golden Corral is not even that good at all.
***** *True* not true
Where are the health inspectors? Why aren't the owners & managers going to jail??
Patrons too fat to attempt a citizens arrest
my mother used to work with this restaurant chain, and the sad thing was that most of the things mentioned here were not as bad as the stories she told.. IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT ,, DONT EAT HERE!!
Fortunately or unfortunately, the FDA doesn't have anything to do with local food inspections. All restaurants are or are supposed to be inspected by local health departments. I believe there is a bit of a buddy system or payoff that goes on. I had a friend who had a bagel shop who was always told by the health department two day in advance of the actual inspection that they were coming. That's not how it should work. But the reality is that is does work that way.
Yeah you need to go in there again and get the place tested for Mrsa
@surfs1man lol i know right. its like they were expecting a clean dumpster...
Eww I hate buffets. I don’t like people leaning over my food. It’s too many hands on and around my food
I was on board with the Brandon Huber thing for a while too. But now his shit is getting ridiculous. Have you seen his mcdonalds video?
