Golden Corral is offering a $2.50 Kids Buffet and drink every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from July 31 through August 30, 2026.
The limited-time deal is available for kids ages 4 to 12 with the purchase of an adult or senior buffet. The offer is valid during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a limit of one discounted Kids Buffet per qualifying adult or senior buffet on the same check. Kids ages 3 and under continue to eat free.
The Kids Buffet features familiar favorites along with access to the chain's full buffet. Golden Corral also points families to healthier options through the Kids LiveWell program, which identifies qualifying menu combinations with a carrot icon. Choices include BBQ chicken with baby carrots, fresh fruit, a yeast roll, and water, as well as fish served with steamed broccoli, fresh fruit, and water.
Unlike some previous promotions, the $2.50 Kids Buffet is available to all guests and does not require a Golden Corral Rewards membership.
The offer is part of Golden Corral's America $2.50 Value Deals campaign, which features additional limited-time deals throughout 2026.
