Olive Garden

Brett/Adobe texas humble olive garden restaurant

Olive Garden is famous for its offer of unlimited salad and breadsticks, which could easily make a meal by themselves. However, they now also offer a never-ending pasta bowl starting at $13.99.

Choose your type of pasta (fettuccine, spaghetti, rigatoni, or angel hair) and sauce. You can also add crispy chicken, meatballs, or Italian sausage for an additional charge. Refill as often as you like.

This burger chain still offers bottomless steak fries, so pass the campfire sauce. What you may not know is that this offer is good for 33 other sides.

This includes everything from sweet potato fries to garlic parmesan broccoli to root beer floats and lemonades. They even offer bottomless macaroni and cheese for the kids.

This restaurant’s offering of bottomless chips when you order guac or queso just makes sense. 

After all, what happens to that last lonely bite of queso if you were to run short on chips? They also offer free chips and salsa with every order.

Cicis Pizza

Cicis is a national buffet chain that focuses on all-you-can-eat pizza, pasta, salad, and desserts. Currently, Cicis is offering a fantastic deal: a $4.99 adult pizza buffet on Mondays and Tuesdays using a coupon (available at cicis.com).

This restaurant offers pickup and delivery, but the best bang for your buck is the buffet when you dine in the restaurant.

Dave & Buster’s

You might know Dave & Busters as an arcade, but their restaurant has a fairly extensive menu. 

What’s more, every Monday and Thursday after 4 p.m.,they offer all-you-can-eat wings and a $10 Power Card (arcade card) starting at $22.99 per person.

Rodizio Grill

A Brazilian steakhouse, Rodizio Grill is more upscale than your typical buffet. They offer a full all-you-can-eat salad bar.

The pièce de résistance, however, is the endless supply of mouth-watering meats and succulent grilled pineapple that waiters bring to your table. Note that this upscale buffet is much more expensive than a typical American one.

Fogo de Chão

Kristina Blokhin/Adobe fogo de chao brazilian steakhouse

Like Rodizio, Fogo de Chão’s menu is inspired by the cuisine of Brazil and the culinary art of churrasco. The restaurant offers bottomless tableside service of meats, and it extends this to include the market table and Feijoada (black bean stew) bar.

The market table consists of seasonal side dishes, such as roasted apple and butternut squash, salads, and other specialty dishes, such as smoked salmon and black pepper candied bacon.

Red Lobster

If you’re craving seafood, Red Lobster’s long-standing endless shrimp is sure to satisfy you. 

For $20, you can choose two of your favorite shrimp preparations from dishes like coconut shrimp, shrimp linguine alfredo, and garlic grilled shrimp skewers. When you’re ready, you can order as many more as you like.

HuHot Mongolian Grill

Not only are stir fry bowls at HuHot bottomless, but you can also customize them to your taste.

Choose a bed of noodles or rice to start, then build your bowl with protein and all your favorite veggies. Top it off with one of HuHot’s many sauces, and go back for more — if you still have room.

Texas Roadhouse

This western-inspired steakhouse doesn’t offer bottomless entrees or sides, but your waiter will keep the fresh-baked bread coming again and again at no extra charge. 

Munch on as many free peanuts as you like while you’re in the restaurant too!

IHOP

Breakfast is good at any time of day, so you can get all-you-can-eat pancakes for $5 in the morning, at noon, or night. 

Start with a stack of five, then get refills two at a time — just in case your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

Souper Salad

When you’re hungry but you want lighter fare, Souper Salad’s buffet gives you dozens of healthy options. 

For one price, get endless refills on soups, salads, breads, baked potatoes, and fruit. (And yes, they have dessert too.)

Chuck-a-Rama

This classic buffet-style restaurant has been around since 1966. They offer hearty dishes like ham, cornbread, and coleslaw, a full salad bar, and a good selection of desserts. 

They rotate other dishes throughout the week, with a specific theme such as BBQ or Asian for each day. Their Senior Club loyalty rewards entitles anyone aged 60 and older to a free adult buffet after purchase of 10 adult buffets.

Golden Corral

Brett/Adobe golden corral buffet in houston texas

Another quintessential all-you-can-eat buffet, Golden Corral has something for everyone and has locations across the country. 

From macaroni and cheese to fried chicken to meatloaf, all of their dishes are bottomless. For a limited time, this also includes a variety of all-you-can-eat chicken wings at dinner.

Bottom line

While you may use every means to fight inflation, sometimes you just want to have a night out. For those looking to maximize their dining dollars, all-you-can-eat deals are for you.

Be aware that while some of these bottomless offerings are perpetual (as in the case of buffet-style restaurants or long-standing offers like bottomless fries at Red Robin), others are promotions that come and go. 

If you’re unsure of whether the menu price includes endless refills, ask the staff or check the restaurant website before you go.
