With more than 48 years of success, Golden Corral ® is recognized as “America's #1 buffet and grill*.”
Our concept is a proven winner - a high-value, family-oriented lunch and dinner buffet served daily and breakfast every weekend.
We are the first-choice franchise brand for savvy restaurant operators looking to expand their local dining market share or successful franchisees seeking to diversify their portfolio with a proven high revenue restaurant brand.

I’ve been in the restaurant business most of my life, so I love visiting Golden Corral restaurants and talking to our guests, our coworkers and our operators.
We have a great base of outstanding operators that make up our system, and with our plans for the future, we’re very optimistic about our ability to continue to deliver our mission statement of making pleasurable dining affordable to every guest, in every restaurant, every day.
The greatest thrill of my business life took place on January 3, 1973. That was the day that Bill Carl and I opened our family steakhouse in Fayetteville, NC. We raised $50,000 and took a leap of faith into the world of entrepreneurs.
When new Golden Corral franchisees describe the thrill of opening their first restaurant, their very own business that puts all their accumulated capital at risk, I know exactly how they feel. I’ve been there.
