Haven't been here for years but there was a meeting being held here so that is the reason for the visit. First I must thank the owner for his community service to Onslow County. He gives so much to our community.
Now to the restaurant. Walked in to a very friendly cashier. I only ordered a drink because I did not have time to eat here.
I did walk to the bathroom so I passed the food bar. Everything looked great. From listening to people in meeting that did get there early they said the food was very good.
The bathroom could be cleaned up a little better but if you are understaffed it is hard to get everything done. The lock on one of the doors needs to be fixed.
I will come earlier next meeting to try the food and report back.Helpful 1Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jameson H.Jacksonville, NC030Dec 1, 2024

It's a good place, the food is ok
But some meats are not well cooked, the fish is somewhat salty.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jeff S.Jacksonville, NC010Apr 12, 2024
Only golden coral I've been to that stops the early bird special at 3:00 instead of 4:00 are they scared old people are going to eat to much,or letting them get a steak at 4:00 is going to cut into there profits too much?
Every other place I've been stops at 4:00

Ok, went here for my kids birthday dinner. This is what he wanted. I'm not big on buffet style places because of the food not being up to par usually. Here we go......
The food was mediocre at best. As expected from a buffet at times. It has improved from the last time I went a year or so ago. The restaurant is clean inside.
We were greeted by a gentleman there named Dom. Our server. I will say that he is the only reason I would return. He greeted us at the register and had a large area for us ready as there were nine of us. Dom was on point with the table and the drinks and was the most professional and nicest server I've had there. Needless to say, he got a great tip for great service where he didn't have to be great.
Again, not my favorite place to eat, but I may just return for his professionalism alone.
Great job Dom. You're doing it right.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aaron D.NC, NC010Jun 9, 2024

I decided to stop in today during the lunch buffet which was a great bargain. $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for children under 9. I received a coupon for a free beverage and beverages were free for seniors and children.
I was shocked to see that they have horchata and Jamaica drinks which are usually served at Latin eateries. There was a lot of variety here which I appreciated. Salad bar, grill food, fresh vegetables, southern classics and sweets galore ! I had the whiting fish, collards, cabbage, turnips and a baked sweet potato. I also tried the fried okra and Hush Puppies which were so addicting. Everything was battered to perfection. My family had the fried chicken which was fresh. The desserts were ok. They had several cakes, pies and I really enjoyed the Peach Cobbler and carrot cake. For children they have a ice cream station and FroYo machine. Plenty toppings, cupcakes and a chocolate fountain ! Welcome to Willy Wonka's Factory! They also have the best fried shrimp !!!!!!!
Service was excellent and Robin was our waitress. I can't wait to come back ! They also play the best music here !!! Great oldies !Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

I have had to take a break from coming here as the fried chicken was dry, and just the overall taste wasn't the same. I'm glad to say this visit was worth coming back. The fried fish was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the Korean chicken, fried chicken, and the funnel cakes. I do have a few issues, though. The plates I had to dig through over 10 just to find one that wasn't dirty. I did like the Christmas decore that they had placed around the restaurant. The waitress was so friendly and I gave her a nice tip.

Burbon chicken was a bit dry but always packs a flavorful punch. Salad bar is always my fav although the mushrooms looked a little old. Wrinkly.

From top management on down, the team at Golden Corral Buffet & Grill work hard to ensure you get their best. My family and I eat there quite often (mom loves the fruit bar) and I do enjoy a freshly made omelette from time to time. Friendly, professional and attentive, these folks bring it each and every day!
If you want to save $$$, check out their app. Getting $10 off after each $100 spent adds up in today's world of high gas prices. IMHOHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Wally E.Hull, MA090May 16, 2023
The food is very good end plentiful. They have something for everyone and are priced reasonable. We are especially happy with the seniors luncheon special which includes your drink for less than the cost of sandwiches at some of these fast food restaurants
