Description

Golden Corral hosts its annual Military Appreciation Night to honor the dedication and service of United States military personnel. This nationwide event serves as a gesture of gratitude for the sacrifices made by our service members. Current active duty military, retired personnel, and veterans are invited to visit participating locations to receive a complimentary Thank You buffet and beverage. Since the program began in 2001, millions of free meals have been provided to those who have served the country. Beyond the meal, guests have the opportunity to participate in the Round Up fundraising campaign. This initiative supports local chapters of the Disabled American Veterans organization through November 29. The atmosphere is centered on community spirit and national pride. The event is an excellent opportunity for veterans and service members to gather and enjoy a meal among peers. We encourage all eligible service members to attend this nationwide celebration to enjoy a quality dinner at no cost. Please verify participation with your local restaurant location before attending to ensure the best possible experience for all of our honored guests.
