Golden Corral Locations in Texas: Store Locator

Texas carries more Golden Corral restaurants than any other state, and the spread follows the interstates: I-35 through Austin and San Antonio, I-45 between Houston and Dallas, and I-10 west toward El Paso.

Each restaurant runs the same format: one price at the door covers the hot line, salad bar, soup station, bakery and dessert bar, with the carving station opening at 4 PM. Guests across Texas rate these locations 4.1 out of 5 on average. Because every restaurant is franchisee operated, the exact board price differs between markets, which is why the buffet prices page shows ranges rather than one figure.

Texas guests treat the carving station as the main event, and the state runs some of the busiest dinner services in the chain. Houston and El Paso each carry three restaurants, San Antonio and Austin two apiece, and smaller markets like Lufkin, Texarkana and San Angelo hold a single location that serves a wide rural radius.

Ordering works the same way statewide. Individual meals like Pot Roast at $14.99 and Fried Chicken at $13.99 come with two sides, a yeast roll and cookies, while Family Meals feed four to six from from $35.99. Breakfast runs Friday and Saturday mornings at most Texas locations, opening as early as 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

For groups, catering trays are ordered 24 to 48 hours ahead and priced per tray rather than per guest. The catering calculator costs out any guest count, and holiday dates in Texas book earliest around Thanksgiving, the busiest day of the Golden Corral year.
