  1. [R5] Dig Inn 5/5 · US Best lunch option: Fast delivery, quality of food is great and healthy + cheap! Nothing better than that.
  2. [R8] Dig Inn 5/5 · US The absolute best: Not only can I stick to my macros plan using the online ordering, but the staff is top notch!! I came in on the Mondayist of Mondays, and the staff there joked with me, and lifted my spirits while making my delicious bowl EXACTLY as I ordered. Love this spot!!!
  3. [R58] Dig Inn 5/5 · US Amazing food, staff, & app: I’ve been a regular visitor to DIG for a while & love the new app. Rewards are easy to use & the food quality is usually top-tier every time I visit.
  4. [R63] Golden Corral 3/5 · US My experience: This place is good if you are very hungry I think that they should have better details in salad bar and the mash potato have a weird funny taste not fresh and buttery the pastry area needs a bit improvement some treats are dry but it’s all good
  5. [R7] Dig Inn 1/5 · US Great food, garbage app: Great food. Used to be a great app. Changes over the years made what used to be 4-5 taps to order a meal now 10+ taps. And they recently implemented a new sign on page that doesn’t work, I’m no longer able to sign in and accumulate points with each order. I just want to order a salad why overcomplicate things
  6. [R19] Dig Inn 1/5 · US Order disappears if you order right away: Really annoying how, if you don’t complete your order right away, your bag empties when you exit the app and you have to start over!!!
  7. [R22] Dig Inn 1/5 · US Completely broken with latest update: The “Complete your profile” pop up will not go away even after agreeing to the terms and pressing the button. Force quitting the app and launching it again doesn’t help either, it’s impossible to progress past the complete your profile screen.
  8. [R67] Golden Corral 1/5 · US Good food. Weird acting app: I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps giving an error after asking me to verify phone and birthdate. I even tried on my tablet and had same error.
  9. [R39] Dig Inn 1/5 · US App hardly ever works: Happened multiple times already… it’s practically impossible to add or change your payment method. When it’s time to pay, the button is block by the keyboard which never goes away.
  10. [R51] Dig Inn 1/5 · US App doesn’t work during high traffic: Everytime I am offered a reward only within a certain time frame (6-7 PM for example) I am unable to order, redeem, or use the app in anyway as it just freezes or crashes. This is extremely frustrating.
  11. [R84] Golden Corral 1/5 · US Took my points away: I’ve been going to Golden Corral multiple times a month and getting and redeeming awards, the app was stuck and I had to delete and reinstall ,and change my password to get back on and when I logged into my account all the points were gone,I notified support and they never responded to my complaint, so I’m not going back ever again because of this.
  12. [R90] Golden Corral 1/5 · US Bad service: Golden Corral in Bolingbrook IL, is getting so bad. Fountain drinks were out of order, so they charged $3.00 per drink. Gave out can drinks. Server came by and asked if we needed a refill. We said yes. She came by again and asked us, said only one refill or get water or ice tea. We said why. She said only one refill cause fountain drinks were out of order. So why is it the customers
  13. [R36] Dig Inn 3/5 · US Love Digg, HATE the delivery fees: Headline
  14. [R42] Dig Inn 5/5 · US Healthier and cheaper than fast food: Organic farm to table fast food? Sign me up! Also, best Mac-n-cheese this side of the Mason Dixon line.
  15. [R85] Golden Corral 5/5 · US Great Food: Taste great for a reasonable price
  16. [R78] Golden Corral 3/5 · US Good but beverage price?: The food is good and it’s clean and staff is friendly but why is beverage almost 4.00 a cup, especially tea 3.50 or 3.70 is ridiculous.
  17. [R10] Dig Inn 1/5 · US Discount SCAM: Said $5 discount for first in app order. No such discount was applied.
  18. [R41] Dig Inn 1/5 · US In-app only purchases not working in app: $9 dinner deals are app only purchases, but Fan Faves Plate can’t be added to cart because of errors. Link to app support from App Store page goes to 404 🤦‍♀️
  19. [R92] Golden Corral 2/5 · US Poor service: Never did we have someone greet us upon being seated. Had to ask for refills and was told then Brandy was our server. She never showed up!! The one that brought our drinks wouldn’t give me her name saying it doesn’t matter. Johanna was serving everyone in the room we were in but not us, funny. The others were all around us. I must add, the food was good just POOR SERVICE!
  20. [R1] Dig Inn 1/5 · US Promos never apply. Worthless: Such a decent app if the promos that I’ve activated actually work and applied. I rather just go in store to order at this point.
