For more than two decades, Golden Corral restaurants have honored service members and veterans with their annual Military Appreciation Night, serving more than 6.4 million free meals to active and retired military personnel – and this year is no exception.

In celebration of Veterans Day, Golden Corral is offering a free thank you meal to everyone who served in the U.S. military. That means a free dinner buffet and a drink at one of the chain’s more than 370 locations nationwide.

Golden Corral’s commitment to service members and veterans doesn’t stop at Military Appreciation Night. For more than two decades, Golden Corral restaurants and their guests have raised more than $19.5 million for disabled U.S. veterans. Together, Golden Corral and DAV have raised more than $16 million since 2011 for Camp Corral, a unique summer camp for the children of wounded, sick or fallen soldiers.

“Golden Corral’s partnership with DAV has been an integral part of our brand’s mission to serve those who have served us,” said Lance Trenary, CEO of Golden Corral, in a recent statement. “Our veteran guests can not only enjoy a free, delicious meal, but also support a cause that has a profound impact on the lives of veterans and their families. It is a privilege to see the impact they make every year.”
