History repeats. Endless shrimp helped put northeastern chain Beefsteak Charlies out of business.

I barely remember going there during the first few years of grade school.

Aah, the steaks, the shrimp, and the sangria... all for a very reasonable price in the late 70’s. My family used to go there every few weeks. By 1980 or 1981 they were gone. So yeah, I think the free shrimp did them in.

the local indian casinos used to have pretty good buffets and on occasional all you can eat crab.....of course no longer, they blame covid...

however, people would grab food and not eat it...taking several crab legs and not eating it.....it was easy to see that they lost money on buffets...
