“How on earth do they do it?”

Golden Corral

We have eaten in a number of Golden Corrals and they just can't be beaten for value for money.
No, its not haute cuisine.
No, its not the place for an "occasion" dinner.

But, tell me where else you can take the family and for less than USD10 a head can eat as much steak, turkey, crab legs, seafood, etc etc as you can. The steaks are good - they cook them for you individually on the grill. The mash was great. The salad bar is excellent - very good dressings.
There is just so much to choose from - everyone can find something they like. The dessert bar is by far the best of any buffet restaurant I have visitied. Normally you get some sad ice cream and some miniscule squares of tasteless cakes and cookies. Here they not only had more ice cream but they had really good gateaus and cakes, various pies - it was a very large selection of good quality items.

We were very impressed as was everyone else judging by the amount of business they are always doing.

What a selection, more good food than you can possibility eat. The breakfast buffet price includes all beverages, where as other buffets don't. For the lunch buffet, beverages are extra. This restaurant has it's own bakery and pastries are made on the premises. The warm doughnuts at the breakfast buffet are absolutely a must have and very yummy.

This location is a model restaurant location, so the service is good. Evelyn is an excellent waitress, service and friendliness was top notch.

“Gimme a break...What do you want for $10.00 per (or less at times)???”

It ain't Ruths Chris or Mortons....NO!! But it is one of the best value restaurants servings good to very good food. Excellent for famiilies, esp with a lot of kids....

I don't think the steaks (served in PM) are that great.....but all forms of the chicken are excellent....the Southern Fried is super tasty, the rotisserie is also great.....grilled is also very good.

The food moves fast here, so USUALLY the items are not left in the steam trays that long. Fresh fruits and vegies, salad bar, and this particular units has the Hollywood Florida one beat on the baked cakes, and pies....(although the Hollywood units has better Baked Mac & Cheese)....go drive the 200 miles S & compare....only kidding. Also good are the ribs and the pulled pork.

Service....you help ourself to this buffett. The staff was quick to remove used plates, and bring more...and refill free (soft drinks). Clean and tidy. Very faily priced. Gives discounts to kids & seniors, and Military. Look for coupons in the local trav mags. Above TA web address is wrong. Remove the usa part.

“I miss the Golden Corral more than I miss Disney”

The best value, service and food. Everything you can think of. Baking is done there. Unlimited non-alcoholic drinks are included (which they aren't always at the other places advertising $3.99 breakfast buffets) Breakfast buffet had any breakfast item you could think of plus an omlette bar, salad bar, quiche, dessert bar, sunday machine for the kids, it was incredible. Try it out!! Feast before you go to the parks and then grab supper after you leave the park.

“Best in Orlando”

Golden Corral

Visited Florida twice and have booked third trip in a row. Always go out of our way to find a Golden Corral. We don't drive so we visit when shopping on I-drive or visiting Universal. Also use the one on the 535 just a cab ride from Downtown Disney. Excellent service, choice of massive buffet soups/salad/freshly baked bread ,cakes and cookies. Steak cooked on grill before you,turkey carved from bone,fries, potatoes, seafood,everything you can imagine. Can have cake and ice-cream for breakfast if you want.Always stuffed when we come out!!! Ideal for breakfast or evening meal when going or returning from parks/shopping. Kids adore it, will visit again next time. A must do in Orlando
