Young visitors to Golden Corral are in line for a big bargain on weekend mornings this month.
The buffet chain is offering kids breakfast buffets for $2.50 with the purchase of an adult entree on Saturdays and Sundays through July 26. The deal launched July 4, kicking off a monthslong celebration of America’s 250th anniversary at Golden Corral.
Different America $2.50 Value Deals will debut each month in 2026. Customers will have to be members of Golden Corral’s loyalty program to participate.
For July, in addition to $2.50 kids breakfasts, rewards members can get 32-ounce beverages for $2.50, $2.50 off qualifying Weigh & Pay dinner purchases, and 2.5x rewards points for certain dining occasions.
Future offers will include $2.50 off to-go orders, a $2.50 kids buffet, six yeast rolls for $2.50, themed desserts and beverages, and a sweepstakes. Some of these will be available to all customers, not just loyalty members.
“This campaign reflects our commitment to serving communities with great food, warm hospitality, and everyday value, and we're excited to continue the celebration through the end of the year,” Golden Corral CEO Lance Trenary said in a statement.
Kids breakfasts at Golden Corral typically range from $8.99 to $11.49, according to Golden-Corral.us, an informational site that is not affiliated with the chain.
Raleigh, North Carolina-based Golden Corral is looking to bounce back from a slow year, as sales declined 1.2% in 2025, per Technomic data.
