Golden Corral has put wings back on the buffet for fall, returning Bone-In Buffalo Wings and adding new Boneless Buffalo Bites as an all-you-can-eat feature at lunch and dinner nationwide. The limited-time promotion launched Sept. 14, with the chain formally announcing the rollout Sept. 21.
This year’s version keeps Buffalo flavor at the center of the rotation. The traditional bone-in wings are back, while the new boneless bites give the promotion a second format without turning the buffet line into a sauce laboratory. Last year’s boneless wings were paired with Sweet Chili, Garlic Parmesan and Buffalo dipping sauces; the 2026 bites are explicitly built around Buffalo flavor. For Golden Corral regulars, the bigger change is availability: the 2025 wing promotion was positioned primarily as a dinner feature, while the 2026 return extends through lunch as well.
The wings also mark Golden Corral’s move into its fall food rotation. The preceding summer promotion emphasized Grilled Chicken Tenders and Golden Delicious Shrimp with Spicy Peach and Garlic Parmesan preparations. The current seasonal lineup shifts squarely toward wings and adds Green Apple Lemonade and Green Apple Citrus Splash alongside them.
Golden Corral has made wings a recurring limited-time buffet attraction in recent years, with the details changing from season to season. That makes the return less of a surprise than a familiar signal that the buffet calendar has turned again — and yes, there is apparently a season for unlimited Buffalo wings.Golden Corral has not announced a specific end date for the dine-in all-you-can-eat wing promotion itself, describing it only as available for a limited time.
