The joy that Thanksgiving brings is unmatched. Spending time with family and eating life changing meals followed by tasty Thanksgiving pies can be considered one of the best times of the year. Though, whipping up a delectable Thanksgiving menu is no easy feat. In fact, some would agree that it takes days of preparation—and not everyone has it in them to indulge in that year after year. So, that's where a restaurant like Golden Corral comes in. The American chain is a fan-favorite for many, offering an iconic all-you-can-eat buffet and grill. (Plus, have you seen that chocolate fountain?!) They pretty much have it all, which means they're a great place to head to if you don't feel like cooking on Thanksgiving.
The obvious question is then raised: Is Golden Corral open on Thanksgiving? Sure, there are a bunch of other restaurants open on the holiday—but that buffet is calling our name! We did our research (yeah, we're nice like that 😉) and found out everything you need to know about Golden Corral's hours on Thanksgiving.
So, is Golden Corral open on Thanksgiving in 2023?
You bet! Golden Corral will be open on Thanksgiving from 11 a.m. — 7 p.m., straying away from their normal 9 p.m. close time. However, it's important to note that each location (and, there's a ton) has the ability to change these hours based on regional preferences. With that said, definitely check with your local chain beforehand if you plan on heading there for the holiday!
Side note: What's great about Golden Corral is that if you don't feel like sitting down at the restaurant itself, but still want to enjoy their wondrous meal options, you're in luck! The chain offers both curbside pick up as well as a delivery option if you order online.
