Who we are

Golden Corral is a chain of family restaurants operating on a buffet model. The restaurants focus on providing an affordable and extensive array of choices while using high-quality, fresh ingredients and top-of-the-line preparation techniques. The hot buffet features a selection of traditional favorites such as meatloaf and lasagna along with updated fusion dishes like honey teriyaki sirloin.

There is also a salad buffet with a variety of fresh ingredients, as well as a bakery and dessert buffet with an assortment of breads, cakes, pies, cookies and ice cream. On weekend mornings, guests can enjoy the famous breakfast buffet consisting of cooked-to-order egg dishes, sausage, several types of rolls and waffles, juices and bacon.

The company continues to research and develop new recipes as well as improved techniques for current favorites. Golden Corral buffet selections aim to strike a balance between offering traditional items and appealing to customers looking for updated or healthier options.

Golden Corral also emphasizes community involvement. Previous initiatives have included contributions to veterans' organization and free meals for active duty personnel and veterans.
