I've always wanted to go to a  Golden Corral. Their commercials make the place look quite enticing.

It is hearty I'll giveit that... my wife and I would crack jokes about the seniors going to Golden Corral in the afternoon for dinner when we first came down to Florida. The place gets its best business from 2 to 5

My parents and I just went to Golden Corral this evening.  We go quite a bit and they usually have great food.  The food tonight was delicious.  I had two drumsticks of fried chicken, one slice of BBQ Beef Brisket, and two big helpings of Mashed Potatoes and White Gravy.  Not very diet friendly, but when I go out to eat, I leave my diet at home and pick it back up when I get home.

Not to sound condescending, but I have abnormally high standards for seafood (like most Louisianians), so I've never been there.

Ended up being a lunch date... food and company were lovely

Miles- I cant eat seafood due to lifelong allergies so I get away with eating the rest!

     I've never heard of the Golden Corral before, so I don't quite get what you mean.

Hah! Seniors sure love a value- I'd like to emulate that. Not a fan of one commercial where this woman says it's like going to a wedding without having to dress up- dressing up is the best part!

In Oklahoma, it's not just seniors that go there.  The one I generally go to (which is not the closest one to me) has a lot of families with young children.  It has quite the diverse clientele.

I love Golden Corral! Almost, and I say almost as good as Shanes Rib Shack and Five Guys Smiley

Sure is hearty... you will not leave hungry. Has a lot of variety so every one can find something- I would recommend it

One thing about Golden Corral, or at least those in Oklahoma City Metro, is breakfast is only served from 7-11 on Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays.  So, during the work week, brunch is actually more like a regular lunch as the restaurant doesn't open until 11:00, which is the beginning of lunch time in a lot of circles.

I've never been. There isn't one near me, but apparently the location here is near the airport. It is actually good?

I assume with the question mark you mean Is it actually good.  Yes, yes it is very good, or at least the ones in Oklahoma (and from clarence has said, the ones in Florida, as well).  They have a wide variety AYCE buffet ranging from traditional ham, chicken, BBQ Brisket, Steaks, all kinds of vegetables, an italian section, pizza, a seafood section, and a Mexican section, along with different types of rolls and biscuits.  The dessert aisle at the one I go to is equipped with several different flavors of ice cream, such as vanilla, chocolate, v/c twist, strawberry, and orange sherbet.  They have a whole bunch of different cakes, pies, and ice cream toppings such as M&M's, oreos, candy corns, nuts, gummy bears.  They even a chocolate fountain that you can dip anything into to make it chocolatey.

Sorry, if I've made you hungry.
