Golden Corral offers a variety of ways for seniors to save
Golden Corral Senior Discount
Golden Corral doesn’t publish information on its senior discounts, but Golden Corral Menu, a website run by a Golden Corral fan, maintains a list of senior discount prices and offers. Since the information doesn’t come directly from Golden Corral — and since discounts vary by location — it’s best to call ahead or ask your server about any available senior discounts and their requirements.
According to Golden Corral Menu, Golden Corral offers a senior early bird special. The special is available to diners ages 60 and up, and it may include:
- Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday from opening to 11 a.m.
- Lunch Monday through Friday from 10:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Lunch on Saturday after 11 a.m.
- Dinner on Monday through Saturday after 4 p.m.
- Dinner on Sunday after 11 a.m.
The early bird specials feature discounted prices, which vary depending on your location. Prices typically start at $8.99, and you’ll get access to Golden Corral’s buffet and a free drink. The exact pricing will depend on the location’s standard pricing, so call ahead to ask for price details and times.
