Golden Corral Buffet & Grill — Restaurant in Sevierville

We pulled up to the Golden Corral very hungry. That was our first mistake. We are on a 10 day tour of Tennessee so we eat out a lot. We understand that prices and quality vary and we are fairly forgiving when it comes to getting what we pay for. This buffet was sub-par for the price that you pay. It was about $21 per adult and that was WAY over priced. We had a Chinese buffet earlier that day at Sakku Japanese & Chinese buffet for $10.95 per adult and it was about 100 X better. The dinner buffet at the Woodgrill Buffet in Pigeon Forge is the same price and far superior food. It's worth the 5 minute drive.... So here is where we at: food was all processed. We were there for Thanksgiving dinner because the picture at the front door showed a carved turkey and fresh food.

HELLO FALSE ADVERTISING!

You pay before you see so once your in you are sort of invested. The selection was large but it was carbon copies at both ends so it appears like a lot of choice but it's duplicates. The turkey was precut and in greasy pans, the stuffing was boed add water sort of taste - the odd thing is real stuffing is probably cheaper to make in bulk and way tastier. The mash potatoes and gravy were good, but it's pretty hard to mess that up. The gravy is powder-add water, but I like that gravy so that worked. They sell take out dishes as well and while I tried to get my food I was consistently barged in front of by people getting take out. They would fill their containers then put stuff back and pick new items - not sure I like "the put back" part. Staff should be watching for that.

I assumed dessert would be good because that is sort of hard to mess up. The vanilla ice-cream was yellow because it's not real ice-cream. Thank goodness caramel sauce makes everything better. The pastry desserts were clearly Costco pies.

The staff was friendly and there were plenty on hand in case you needed anything. They were always busy and never standing around. Good staff and that is the big thing this restaurant got right.

Is it the worst buffet we have ever had on our travels? No. Was it grossly overpriced for the quality of food? That would be a BIG yes!

Cheer and happy...

We were there in 2023. After visiting a few other places and were so absolutely amazed by everything that we ate there. We went back every night the remainder of our trip. Food was plentiful, fresh and delicious. There were many options for any type of "foodie". I was especially impressed by the constant and consistent temperature monitoring of the food during every visit. Employees were impeccably dressed, friendly (even late when closing soon)! Every person behind the lines wore gloves and hair was covered. We'll be returning soon hopefully and will not waste time or $ anywhere else. It was a bit pricey BUT for the quality and variety of products available it was so worth it. Hoping for the same great service and food as before. Not all GC are the same. This is by far one of the best. I'd qualify them at the top of any fine dining if you don't want to dress up. It's a comfortable place for families. I'm a huge veggie fan and very big on healthy foods. You'll find anything from fried chicken to fresh fruit and veggies along with unlimited steak and shrimp if that's your desire. The desserts were simply divine! See ya soon good people. Keep up...

I had dinner at Golden Corral in Sevierville yesterday, and it was a fantastic experience starting my meal with a fresh salad from the salad bar, which was delicious and crisp for my second plate and joy, cook, broccoli, pinto beans, carrots, and meatloaf truly a little bit of everything food was flavorful, hot and well prepared the cook, broccoli and pinto beans or the highlights of the meal. I highly recommend trying the pinto beans and cooked broccoli!

Service was great and the staff were attentive and friendly. The restaurant was almost completely full, which speaks to its popularity and lovely atmosphere, while the Buffay price was slightly on the higher side the value is excellent considering the huge selection of food options available you really can’t beat the variety at Golden Corral.

Highly recommended for families, groups, or anyone who loves a wide selection of delicious food. Overall, I give Golden...
