GOLDEN CORRAL #842 – Restaurant

Brandon's Golden Corral, on Providence Road, opens early at weekends and runs its buffet clear through dinner. The formula holds: signature sirloin off the grill, fried chicken and Bourbon Street chicken on the hot line, a soup and salad bar, home-style sides, and warm yeast rolls that rarely survive the walk back. Dessert means soft-serve and the carrot cake regulars ration room for. There's a party room for the big occasions, which tells you who eats here — families, teams, anyone counting heads and dollars. Endless is the point.
