I have developed website Resturant, Golden Corral When the first Golden Corral® restaurant opened in Fayetteville, North Carolina in 1973, Golden Corral Corporation took a confident first step in the restaurant business, beginning a tradition of offering guests real, wholesome foods in a family-friendly atmosphere and at a great value. Nearly 46 years later, Golden Corral® is honored to be called America's #1 buffet and grill.
