America’s Best Value in Family Dining just got better! The approaching end of summer and back-to-school season brings new routines, fuller calendars, and, as every parent knows, numerous added expenses for American families. But this year, with Golden Corral’s best-ever America $2.50 Value Deal, that doesn't have to mean fewer family meals out!
Golden Corral is helping families with kids come together around the table with its newest America $2.50 Value Deal of 2026, now offering an all-you-can-eat dine-in Kids Buffet and drink for an amazingly low price of $2.50 (for kids ages 4-12); limit one free Kids Buffet per Adult or Senior Buffet purchase on the same ticket. This limited-time offer is available every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from July 31 to August 30 and is valid during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The promotion builds on Golden Corral’s America $2.50 Value Deals campaign, which features incredible savings through the end of 2026. Plus, Kids 3 and Under Eat FREE!
Golden Corral is also making nutritious choices easier to spot on the buffet through the National Restaurant Association’s Kids LiveWell® program. Guests can look for the Kids LiveWell carrot symbol to identify kid-friendly meals that meet nutrition criteria established by leading health organizations. Featured options include Kid’s Fish served with steamed broccoli, fresh fruit, and water, and Kid’s BBQ Chicken served with baby carrots, fresh fruit, a yeast roll, and water.
“Delivering great value has always been at the heart of what we do, and now we’re making this offer available to every family who visits Golden Corral, not just Rewards members,” said Lance Trenary, CEO and President of Golden Corral Corporation. “By opening this deal to all guests, even more families can enjoy a delicious, affordable meal together.”
