Golden Corral Menu with Prices 2026
Golden Corral menu with prices for 2026: buffet prices by meal and age group, individual meals, drinks and family meals to go — every figure labelled with its source.
Golden Corral's menu is built around one idea: a single buffet price covers the spread. Buffet prices run $9.99–$13.99 for breakfast, $11.49–$14.99 for lunch and $15.99–$18.99 for dinner, with individual meals mostly at $16.99.
Golden Corral and Taco Bell are unrelated brands. This is an independent guide to Golden Corral's menu, prices and hours — it is not affiliated with Golden Corral Corporation, and it is not the official Golden Corral website. Prices vary by location and change over time; every range below is labelled with its basis.
Buffet prices
| Meal | Adults (13+) | Seniors (60+) | Kids 4–8 | Kids 9–12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | $9.99–$13.99 | $1–$3 less | $7.99–$8.99 | $8.99–$10.99 |

Kids 3 & under eat free with a paying adult (limit 2 per adult). “Adult” means age 13+ at most locations. The lunch-to-dinner price switch happens at 4 PM daily.
Individual meals
Many locations also sell single entrées to go or for dine-in. These prices are from Golden Corral's official online menu (Brandon location); the calorie ranges match the official menu and independent nutrition listings.
| Meal | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Fried Chicken | $16.99 | 933–1,253 |
| Pot Roast | $16.99 | 597–917 |
| Bourbon Street Chicken | $16.99 | 826–1,146 |
| Meatloaf | $16.99 | 370–690 |
| 5 oz Sirloin | $16.99 | 469–789 |
| Fried Fish | $16.99 | 550–870 |
| Baked Fish | $16.99 | 530–850 |
| Baked Chicken | $16.99 | 816–1,146 |
| Pulled Pork | $9.89–$15.99 (sources differ by location) | Not published |
Calorie ranges reflect the side choices that come with each meal. Steak by the ounce runs about 1,450–1,880 calories for an 8–12 oz cut depending on sides; the online menu does not publish separate per-ounce prices, so none are listed here.
Drinks and sides
Drinks run $2.69–$3.99 with free refills. Two side values are published widely enough to list: a 6-pack of yeast rolls is 1,070 calories (about 178 per roll), and steamed broccoli is 80 calories a serving. The Weigh & Pay take-out option — fill a box at the buffet and pay by weight — is $6.99–$8.99 per pound.
Family meals to go
Family meals to go feed four to six people and are reported from about $39.99 — that figure comes from a single listing, so treat it as indicative and confirm with your local restaurant before ordering. There is no published national catering menu we could verify, so no catering prices are listed here.

About this guide's data
Every figure in this guide comes from one dataset: sampled Taco Bell prices and published nutrition, compiled and verified in October 2026 (prices are re-checked monthly, and every data page carries its verification stamp). Rankings state their rule in the open and are computed from those rows — never voted on, never estimated. Where a value is missing it is shown as missing, and each named item links to its own page, where the full label, allergen record and sampled price range can be checked. Prices vary by location; nutrition values are the published figures for the standard build.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Golden Corral dinner buffet?
Independent listings put adult dinner at $15.99–$18.99 on weekdays and $16.99–$19.99 on weekends, up to about $20.99 at some locations. Seniors 60+ pay $1–$3 less.
Are Golden Corral prices the same at every location?
No — Golden Corral is franchised, so each location sets its own exact price inside the ranges on this page. The buffet ranges come from independent listings; the individual-meal prices are from the official online menu for one location.
What is included in the buffet price?
The full spread for that meal — salad bar, soup, hot entrées, grill and carving station, bakery and dessert bar. Drinks are extra at $2.69–$3.99 with free refills.
Does Golden Corral sell individual meals, or only the buffet?
Both. Many locations sell single entrées — fried chicken, pot roast, Bourbon Street chicken, meatloaf, sirloin, fish and baked chicken — mostly at $16.99 on the official online menu.
