Golden Corral fans love the quality of the steaks at the restaurant. “I was surprised by how tender and juicy their medium rare steaks are,” one guest said. “Wow, better than some high-end restaurants.  The choices are quite limited, but not too small that you won’t go out having your fill. So all-in-all a reasonable experience with a reasonable price.” Another was impressed about the way the steaks are prepared. “They cook the steaks right before you and to your liking. They taste good just the way they serve them or you can put some sauce on them, they have a few.”

Juicy Chicken

Guests love the chicken options at Golden Corral, especially the fried chicken. “Although I sampled a lot, my favorites were the fried fish, tater tots, and fried chicken. None were greasy or overcooked. The chicken was super moist. The fish was mild with a very light fried or baked crust,” one fan said.
