Golden Corral Food Poisoning: As Many As 167 Sick, Causing Customer Backlash On Yelp

The Mayans were right they foresaw the Golden Coral AKA Tomain Tavern coming!
Hope you poor souls in Casper make it.to the end of the world!

People have a tendency to over exggerate for their 15 min of fame. At this time of year I would not rule out a virus passed along by the public who came to the establishment to eat. With the norovirus everything an infected person touches becomes infected and another person touching the same are passes it along. That's why te cruise ships have such a hard time in the winter months of flu season, which is now. The real problem is a sick person refuses to stay home until cured and they infect dozens of innocent people. Parents are probably at blame here. Their children are sick and they bring them in and tuen them loose. Try going to one of these buffet style restaurant and watch what kids do. Handling food and putting it back, some even taking bites and throwing it back with the uncontaminated food. At this time of year I do not eat out at any restaurant where the public can handle te food. It is just too dangerous.

People will Stop being So lazy and Start to Cooking at Home. If U think that, s Something. Those Chinese Restaurant, s r, REALLY FILTHY. U could b Eatting Poodle or Cat. Dog is served Regularly, in China.

They Say German Shepard is Really Googd. lol

First of all, anyone who eats at an "all you can eat" place like this is not concerned with health. However, with that said, after reading the comments from people on Yelp, why did anyone eat there-you have control over your own body-you can walk out.

Only if it's sauteed in a wine marinade

I have eaten at Glden Corral for years, breakfast and dinners and never been sick or heard of any problems with the two places within the Phoenix area…They are clean and reasonably priced and food is good….Somehow this franchise is run by a dork……Don't condemn them all because of one bad apple……….

If a dish was dirty looking, why would you put food on it?

Heres the really sad part, people are probably still knocking down the door to get in because people are to lazy to cook for themselves anymore! And just the name alone"the golden corral";if that doesn't make you feel like a piece of cattle Nothing will-never been there, never will….

Another thought. Where the hell are the food/establishment inspectors.

Further evidence that you get what you pay for!

Me and wife stop there for years ago , we had bad food, but our schools food is bad Not because people getting lazy, it's getting cheater go out places liked this.

hmmm…Did some of them get ill in their 3th or 4th hour of grazing? I'll admit that food poisoning will tend to quell the ultimate feeding frenzy…Everyone there uses the same shovel to heap on their portions. Scratch their ass, scoop it up and move on…. They'll be back.

WE- my family and I have eaten at Golden Corral in several cities and have found absolutely NO! problems. The food was very good, the service was good and the places were very clean. I am thinking this is a very local problem. And needs to be dealt with by the local food inspection authorities. Or a management problem.

Much better if they are puppies. Get them before they grow out of the "wiggle".

This is the Walmart of the food industry. Ever see the people who eat there?

I eat at Golden Corral and the food is generally pretty good. But there are 2 I refuse to eat at now because of poor food quality and service….Olathe, KS and Clinton, MO. The managers/owners are boobs and get offended by complaints. Best one I have eaten at was in St. Charles, MO….They do it right.

We ate at this establishment (located in CA), this past summer and found it to be one of the most unsanitary filthiest restaurants we had ever been in. The people eating there were like animals. Food and trash all over the tables and floors. Disgusting! We were joking around about how it resembled a feed lot! Would never eat there again!

Funny that this story came out. About 2 months ago we had a family b-day party at Golden Corral here in Texas and 3 of us got sick with vommiting and/or diarrhea. I have only eaten there 3 times, but that was the last time I will ever go. The first two experiences were fine.

I'll tell you where they are, if they are like me they got attacked by the ones who worked there or bushwacked by a union. There are places I've been where I ran into serious problems and when I stopped the gravy train all of a sudden I was rumored to have an infectious disease- something that will kill the career of a health inspector. When I finally had a meltdown from being constantly attacked I just decided it was too much cost to enforce the public health. That's where the hell the inspectors are, they all just said screw you and went home!

I would say "you get what you pay for" but they raised their prices and it's still crap!

Who are you to judge anybody as to where they shop or eat? BIGOT!!!

Who are you to judge anybody because of whrer they shop or eat? BIGOT!!!

I used to do "mystery shops" for a few companies at several locations in the CSRA. I did 4 of them, with Golden Corral…two at same location , one at another location ( at different times/yrs. ), one at another location. They failed every time to make the grade. I reported exactly what I saw and even gave some names. These took place between 2001-2006. Filthy restrooms, food on floor, lack of clean carpeting, no names of food over the items, messy salad bars with food all over them -off the plates they were supposed to be on and feed smeared around, dirty tables that were not cleared, and no one attempting to clear them, etc. After these mystery shops, I NEVER have eaten there again. I refuse to.

Temperature of some foods was incorrect too, some foods that were supposed to be kept warm, were NOT warm at all, but were cold. This happened in Augusta, Ga. Food smeared on the carpet…..I could go one and on.

You get what you pay for I suppose. I'll never be able to look at a chocolate wonderfall again without thinking about what a bummer diarrhea is.

this loser has 47 friends on Facebook, one picture, OWNS A SO CALLED "buisness" that is pretty much ALL TALK, and he has the nerve to look down on others ! OMFG

and I hate G.C. but dont be so self rightous u pompus ass.

With that many cases of food poisoning, I don't think this restaurant is going to be staying in business. If it lookd as unsanitary as it was described by people, what would make folks stay to eat the food?

well the Golden Corral should be responsible for all of that and fined big time and pay everyones hospital bill and law suite, they also should have to get cooks that know how to cook.

I eat at the golden corral every week and there isn't any situations like the one you described being dirty, and under cooked foor, now this is in Austin, Tx , i'm talking about, I don't know about it in other cities though, but if I saw a dirty plate, or any under-cooked food I'd file a law suite on them, and if I got sick I'd be sure they paid my hospital bill to.

i do to Sharon,i've eaten in several golden corrals and found no problems with the food,and everyone their was friendly to.

Any buffet comes with risk. Actually any dining outside of home comes with risk. You have no idea what you are eating, or whom or how it was prepared. At buffets, you have children leaving school that have shared every microorganism available with there friends, and our healthcare and sanitation workers whom provide us all with such suppurb services handling food and utensils okbefore you

Oddly, I was cut off in the middle of my commentary. Anyway, if you eat out, you should observe the age-old philosophy or buyer beware! If you didn't grow it or at least buy and prepare it, you have no idea what it is! And for the love of God, if you get an entree you are dissatisfied with, demand a refund! Never eat food returned to the kitchen! Chefs/cooks are usually reprimanded for bad dishes, and often send you a token of their appreciation! I'm sure you don't want that, whatever surface or orifice it came from!!!

Bryan Ellis you seriously went to his Facebook page to check him out lol??? kinda like a stalker lol.

There's always two sides to every story. My dad was a food inspector for the city of Salt Lake many years ago. There was an outbreak of a disease caused by infected pork and he had a very difficult time proving that it was not his fault. I did not mean to disparrage you I know what a difficult job it is. Mea Culpa..

Wow! Didn't even post an opinion……Just a statement! That really brings out the fringe element. I do not look down on anyone but I guess Connie and Bryan do. Oh how liberal you are! For people who do not judge; you judged me pretty harshly. Now go screw.
