    One member of the group told the officer that things got heated after an Applebee’s manager informed the group that the chain’s “All You Can Eat” deal was not valid for an entire table if ordered by one person. Instead, each person would have to pay $15.99 for their own meal special.

    Lol. Came here wanting to post the Simpsons quote but after reading the article…yeah, shall we say this person got their just desserts.

      I thought it would be someone trying to stay past close, that they could eat more so the restaurant would have to stay open, but somehow reality is even fucking dumber.

    ‘All you can eat’ at Applebees sounds like a threat.

    It’s been nearly a decade since I have eaten there but the last two times I did, I had some significant intestinal distress.

      I’m vegetarian, so “All You Can Eat” at an Applebees actually means “all you can stomach”. It’ll be soggy fries, a mediocre salad (hold the bacon bits), maybe an appetizer if I’m lucky. Perhaps they are better now, but I doubt it. There’s a reason I haven’t been inside an Applebees for at least a decade.

      They exist, but might not be readily available any more. Ever since the plague it’s been…a bit thin on the Chinese buffet front

      There’s only one left within ~30 minutes of me and it’s not good 60% of the time

        You also have to hope you catch the buffet when it is decently busy. That’s when they are churning throuh food so everything is decently fresh. On a slow day that food has been sitting oit there for god knows how long…

    One of the most disgusting things I ever ate was an applebess “endless riblets” deal… Ribs that tasted exactly like the sausage patty you’d get on a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich…
