By far the most comprehensive American-style buffet in town ($5.69 lunch/$7.49 dinner), Golden Corral's Golden Choice Buffet offers everything from fried chicken to pizza to cocktail tacos amidst a bevy of soups, salads, baked potatoes, vegetables, desserts and delicious rolls baked every 15 minutes (you'll know the rolls are fresh when you hear the brass bell ring). Although steaks are Golden Corral's professed raison d'être, all but the heartiest of appetites can live happily on buffet alone. Your best bet is Wednesday night, when they add steak and fried shrimp to the buffet.
