Does Golden Corral Have a Senior Discount?
Many Golden Corral restaurants offer a lower senior or early bird price, usually on weekday afternoons, but it is set by each restaurant rather than chain wide.
Typical senior pricing
| Option | Typical price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Senior lunch price | $11.99 to $13.99 | Weekday afternoons at many restaurants |
| Early bird dinner | $11.99 to $13.99 | Mid afternoon before dinner pricing |
| Regular weekday lunch | $13.99 to $15.99 | Monday to Friday until about 4pm |
| Regular dinner | $16.99 to $19.99 | After about 4pm and weekends |
Other ways to save
Eating at lunch instead of dinner saves a few dollars on the same buffet, and water is free while other drinks cost about $3. Veterans and active service members can eat free on Military Appreciation Night, usually held in November.
