It's more than $11.99 here for dinner. I had a gift certificate last year for $25 and still ended up paying over $5 here for just two of us, and we had water to drink so were not charged for drinks. I have to say, the quality of the food has gone down ... drastically since the last time we ate there. It wasn't worth the $5 plus tip that I paid. We won't be going back but maybe it is just our local Golden Corral that the quality of food is so bad.
