Golden Corral Full Menu & Prices
Every entrée, combo, family meal, side, dessert and drink — with calories and estimated 2026 pricing. Golden Corral is famous for its all-you-can-eat buffet, but you can also order individual meals, family packs and to-go boxes from the à-la-carte menu below. Prices are estimates and vary by location.
There are really two menus at Golden Corral. The first is the legendary all-you-can-eat buffet — one flat per-person price gets you the hot bar, carving station, salad bar, bakery and the endless dessert bar (chocolate fountain included). The second is the à-la-carte and to-go menu shown on this page: individual plated meals, value combos, family-sized packs and fried chicken boxes you can order at the counter or take home.
The all-you-can-eat buffet includes every category you see below — steaks and carved meats, fried chicken, seafood on select nights, dozens of sides, plus the salad and dessert bars — for a single price. If you'd rather pay per plate or feed a crowd at home, the priced items here are the way to go. For per-person buffet pricing, see our 2026 buffet prices guide; for the morning menu, jump to breakfast.
