Platinum Corral is a franchisee of Golden Corral.

Our Mission: We strive to offer a pleasurable dining experience that is affordable for every guest, at every restaurant, every day.

Our history: The first Golden Corral© restaurant opened in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 1973 beginning a tradition of offering guests real, wholesome foods in a family-friendly atmosphere and at a terrific value. 50 years later, Golden Corral© is honored to be called America’s #1 buffet and grill.

We take pride in giving back...

Military Appreciation Night & D.A.V.: Golden Corral© is proud of the U.S. military members who defend our country and our rights. We honor them every year with a special thank you dinner on our Military Appreciation Night. As of 2023, we have served 6 million free meals to our active duty and retired military heroes; and raised over $17.5 million dollars for the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).

Camp Corral: Camp Corral is a week of non-stop fun for the children of wounded, ill, injured, or fallen military members. This camp is free for families, and over the past 9 years Golden Corral as the founding sponsor along with our guests and local communities, has raised $13 million dollars and sent more than 30,000 military children to Camp Corral.

Operational Excellence: Platinum Corral had 11 of its restaurants earn the Diamond Award for Operations Excellence in 2019. Only 24 of these Awards for Operations Excellence were presented in the entire Golden Corral brand of almost 500 restaurants that year. This included the #1 and #2 restaurants in the entire brand nationwide. Excellence was measured by increased guest counts, sanitation scores, co-worker retention, guest feedback scores and community fund raising.
