  Yes, I'm giving a buffet five stars and here's why: when I do my reviews, I base the rating on what the place is and what its trying to do, rather than comparing it to something it isn't. In my view, for this kind of all-you-can eat smorgasbord of food at a price that is entirely reasonable, this is about the best you can get.
  
  I had never been to a Golden Corral before but wanted to give it a try. We stopped by on a Friday evening around 7:00 and were seated and eating quickly. I took a tour of the options and then dove in. Based on what I'd heard, I was expecting tasteless, cafeteria food, but nearly everything I tried (and I tried a lot) was good!
  
  The place sticks to American staples: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, steaks, fried chicken, pulled pork, fried fish, etc. There are also tacos, a salad bar, desserts, spaghetti, steaks, pizza...pretty much any kind of comfort food you could ask for really.
  
  If you're looking to get stuffed for under $20 a head, this is where you go. No shame in that!

  Thank you, Melissa, for your indication that Golden corral is listening to Feedback. I just returned from my most recent trip to the Arundel Mills Mall Golden Corral and I would note that the chicken fajita was, at 11 AM, still cold as it sat in the steam pan (as if it had been pulled from the refrigerator, as opposed to freshly cooked).
  
  I thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated, as I hope my input is as well.

  This has been my first check in here, and my first time here in some years. I dont think Ive been here since the early 2000's and especially not this location.
    Being as though its been sometime since Ive stepped foot in a Golden Corral this location shocked me. Im used to the dirty bathrooms, dirty tables, and flies flying around here and there, also not to mention some cold food.
  But this location shocked me. It was neat, there were no flies, the food was constantly fresh given there was not a big crowd this night. The restrooms were incredibly clean  and the wait staff was really great. Might I add the tables were really clean and sanitary. I dont really like buffets, but it was my baby sister's choice for her special day so we found ourselves here.
   Golden Corral you exceeded my expectations thanks for having us, and your hospitality.

  I'm going to give 5 stars for effort and fresh to a national chain that I go to maybe once a year but have never been to one up north.
  
  This place was packed, let's say a Mixed crowd but the fruit and salad to start were very fresh and what I needed. I chose this over my typical 4 star restaurants and sushi bars because I'm cutting carbs and drinking and didn't want to be temped and weak to Cave in to all the crab around. Tomorrow may be different lol.
  
  This set up was a bit different but the staff was nice, all you can eat for $13 on an expense account and the food was not that bad. Salad was fresh, had limited toppings but my fav blue cheese crumples and a light vinegarette dressing, tomatoes and beets so good for me. The veggies- also pretty darn good. I love greens so the turnip greens were good, Lima beans and green beans all good and filled me up. I did opt opt for some steak - again, not bad for a Golden Corral and cooked MR and tastes fine.
  
  Didn't opt for desert but tried some chicken( skin over cooked but meat was tender and juicy) , some fried shrimp , hush puppies and fried okra- all the fried things I only got a small portion but ok with me!
  
  Have to say it was the patrons that were rude, classless in  some cases, some- this was their only meal for the week it seemed- others maybe their 5th meal of the day as there must have been no less than 5 350 pounders here wolfing down plates of food and very demanding of the staff. Some sassy girls and others yelled at the chef for meat not well done, or something just not to their liking and saw at least 2 people dump food off their plate onto the floor bitching at the poor people behind the counter trying to meet their over demanding needs. It was def a show for little ole me sitting quietly eating strawberries and mostly veggies .
  
  I would have kicked some of these people out but I had a good meal, it was cheap, I had sweet tea that was better than most ( for Baltimore !) and I didn't drink , get sick or puke so hey- a great value, koodos to the staff for keeping their cool for the rude ass people but I kept to myself, tipped my waitress $5 since nobody else did and went back to my hotel. I loved my greens and fruit and again this was a great salad and fruit bar I enjoyed a lot. Loud, a bit crazy but it's golden coral not Capital Grill. Just thought I would put some things in order as it's not the staff that lacked but the over eating over demanding people that shocked me. Will I come back, doubt it as I'm not here much and do want crab. But hats off to management for their effort and keeping their cool. And thanks for the greens . They were really good!!

  Dinner begins at 4 pm and costs $13.99.  Drinks are extra.  There is plenty of food and variety to choose from.  My favorite was fried chicken, sirloin steak, and fried shrimp.  Salad and dessert bars were also good.  Best time to go would be weekdays to avoid crowds.
  
  1/18/19 update - Lunch is $9.19 on Monday to Friday until 4 pm. Senior lunch price is $8.69 for those 60 and over.
