Golden Corral Buffet & Grill, Destin

My family spent my youngest son's birthday in Destin (my son told everyone he was going to destiny for his birthday) July 14th. We decided after a long tiring day at the waterpark we would go to the Golden Corral for dinner. My older son(12) told the waitress that it was his brother's birthday and asked if they could sing Happy Birthday to him? The waitress told my son that they could not. I asked the manager if that was a problem, he told me, they didn't do that anymore because they don't have time (approx. 8:45PM, not many customers were in the restaurant), and that it upsets the other guests. When have you ever been upset in a restaurant due to hearing the birthday song? So I asked for a candle to put in a piece of cake myself, he gave me a PINK one. A little with an eight(8) year old child means a lot.To top that off the children had to call the waitress over for refills and to remove the used plates. A truly unwanted experience on my 8 year old son birthday.

It was always a fantastic place to eat until I took my mother there and there was a roach leg floating in her lemonade. Our waitress was very polite and apologized to us, saying she would contact the manager immediately. The manager never even came out to apologize or anything. Makes you wonder if the rest of the roach is floating in the drink machine. We'll never go to the destin location EVER again.

We got into Destin later than usual on our first day and everyone in my family wanted to go to The Golden Coral, it is very clean lots of food to choose from and everyone is happy with their choices. The steaks and ribs are great and their desserts are a great treat, we went our first and last day..they have great service and 4 people can eat for under 50 dollars I love it and yes we will be back..we do not have one near us to go to all the time so we really enjoy The Golden Corral

My kids feel so independent there because they can pick and choose whatever they want to eat...which of course is mostly healthy greens and lumps of fudge brownie ice cream. Great family atmosphere.

Great !! good quality.. sooo many choices... fresh veggies... we like the salad bar and chicken for breakfast.. my kids and grandkids like it... something for everyone... Harry the mgr.. works his butt off !!
