Took my husband here for his birthday lunch... we drove two hours. We decided on the buffet which…read morethey have all the time and it was wonderful. The only thing they don't have on the buffet is beef brisket, which is what we love, but all the food that we got the shredded pork, ribs, barbecue chicken, vegetables, bread...everything was really good. It's an odd place to have a barbecue restaurant, but it was definitely enjoyable. The service was excellent and they were very good about keeping the place clean. Being able to watch the airplanes land and takeoff was just an extra bonus.

Sunny skies, great food, and watching planes take off and land right in front of you? This unique…read morespot was definitely worth the short drive from the Raleigh area on a warm Sunday afternoon. There was a bit of a wait to sit outside - this place is POPULAR! But it was worth those few extra minutes for front row seats of the action on the tarmac below. We arrived during their lunchtime buffet hours, although you can also order from their regular menu. I'm not usually a buffet person, but since I wanted to try a little bit of everything it was definitely the way to go. For $18 I got some ribs, pulled pork, and BBQ chicken. Not to mention, a side of their delish cornbread, and a scoop of two of my Southern faves: mac & cheese and collard greens. Sadly, I was too full of the deliciousness to make a second trip, but if I had it would have been for a heaping pile of mashed potatoes and a generous scoop of their homemade peach cobbler. If you like airplanes and BBQ, add this to your list for your next visit to the area. They also have a full bar, though on this hot day we were happy with bottomless refills of their refreshing sweet tea.

Side pane cake came out hot and fluffy. The batter was so enticing I shared it with my friend. Had too. Only polite thing to do. Renegade Benedict. Was asked how I wanted my egg, the waiter countered my poached with over easy. I accepted. Gravy was fantastic. The sausage gravy was on top of another whole sausage patty. Dare I say sausage on sausage was too much. Biscuit- fluffy and firm. Will be back for a lunchtime or two. Many of the items are home made.

Golden Corral is our favorite buffet restaurant, and this is the store where we eat the most often…read more We've never been disappointed. Waitstaff are friendly and attentive despite the fact that this restaurant is usually packed full of diners every time we've been here. The dining rooms are clean, pleasant and the tables are well-spaced, which is much appreciated because I use a wheelchair occasionally due to chronic pain. I've never had a problem maneuvering around the dining room or in the bathrooms (a big trouble point when I'm out thus burdened). The food is awesome and there's lots of it. The salad bar has almost every ingredient you can think of, including different fresh fruits and melons if you prefer your salads fruity instead of lettucey (is that a word? Guess it is now.) There's a wonderful station with enormous baked potatoes and all the fixings a tater-lover can deck them out in. Of course there's steak for us carnivores, with shrimp, fried whitefish and hushpuppies if you like some surf with your turf. Veggies? You can have corn, cabbage, french fries, beans, carrots, broccoli and brussel sprouts, just to name few. Prefer chili or soup? Yep, got those too. My personal favorite is their Awesome Pot Roast, it's tender, juicy, and accompanied by roasted celery and carrots. It's better than mom used to make for Sunday dinner, and that's saying something! Try it out, and add some of the wonderful mashed 'taters and gravy to go with it. AND......those wonderful, soft, always-hot and freshly-baked rolls! These are so luscious that it wouldn't be a waste just to come here for those! (Don't forget your honey butter) Dessert? Although I really miss the chocolate fountain, you can still get your chocolate fix with brownies or a Hot Fudge Sundae from their soft-serve ice cream station. But wait! There's more! Grab a piece of pie, marshmallow treats, a piece of cake or some wondrous bread pudding. If you're a Boomer or Gen Xer with fond memories of Tastee-Freeze, you won't want to leave without a cone. We eat regularly at Golden Corrals in Wake and Johnston County, and this is our favorite location. Highly recommend! P.S. Please, corporate, build us one in Goldsboro!
