America’s leading buffet reintroduces a fan-favorite protein pairing, expands its Lent-friendly seafood offerings, and debuts campfire marshmallow beverages for a limited time
Raleigh, NC (Restaurant News Release) Golden Corral, the nation’s go-to buffet for variety and value, is welcoming its All-You-Can-Eat Butterfly Shrimp & Steak back to its lineup, giving guests a hearty, premium meal at an unbeatable price during the Lenten season and beyond.
This crowd-pleasing pairing features Golden Corral’s tender Signature Carved Sirloin and jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, lightly breaded, crispy, and seasoned to perfection for a limited time at dinner. Dine-in guests can add on a Lobster Tail for only $7.99, significantly less found at other restaurants. This great value elevates a buffet favorite into a full deluxe surf-and-turf experience. To complement the steak and shrimp, the brand is offering a wider selection of seafood throughout Lent, giving guests more flexibility. With options like Seafood Cakes, Baked Fish, Bone-In Catfish, and NEW Cajun Breaded Fried Fish, it’s easy to mix and match and discover something new each visit.
“At Golden Corral, value, variety, and quality are at the heart of what we do, from comfort classics to an extensive protein offering including seafood and hand-carved steaks,” said Lance Trenary, CEO of Golden Corral. “The return of All-You-Can-Eat Steak and Butterfly Shrimp, paired with a craveable $7.99 Lobster Tail and numerous new seafood choices, gives families an enjoyable, affordable indulgence, even in a difficult economy.”
Guests can also enjoy the Butterfly Shrimp & Steak promotional items through Golden Corral’s To Go options (Weigh & Pay, Delivery, or Online Ordering), making it simple to savor these dishes at home or on the go.
For a sweet seasonal twist, Golden Corral is introducing new Campfire Marshmallow beverages. The Campfire Marshmallow lineup includes Coke and Tea options, plus, hot Coffee topped with whipped cream, bringing cozy toasted flavors to the menu.
The All-You-Can-Eat Butterfly Shrimp & Steak and the $7.99 Lobster Tail add-on offering is available for dinner on weekdays after 4 p.m. Weekend hours, item availability, and participation may vary. Guests are encouraged to visit their local Golden Corral to enjoy endless Sirloin Steak, Butterfly Shrimp, and a variety of new seafood favorites before the promotion ends on April 19.
