Woman arrested after using ‘all you can eat’ order to feed entire family | US News

A woman was arrested after arguing that she could feed her entire family with her “all you can eat” menu.

Shawneesha Cobbs, 28, was dining at Applebee’s Bar and Grill in Portage, Indiana, where she ordered the $15.99 unlimited meal earlier this month, Fox 32 reported.

On August 2, shortly after 8:30 p.m., police responded to a disturbance at the restaurant in the 6200 block of U.S. Highway 6 and found several people screaming.

A woman told police officers that she, Cobbs, a man and several teenagers had argued with the manager of Applebee’s because they believed the $15.99 offer would cover the entire family at the table.

The group claimed that the menu did not state that the offer was for one person only and that the manager behaved unprofessionally towards them.

Cobbs showed the police a menu – and they pointed out to the group that the menu said “per person”.

But Cobbs didn’t stop there. When a couple tried to leave the bar, Cobbs got into a verbal argument with them.

Cobbs refused to calm down despite a woman and police officers telling her to stop her disorderly behavior and threatening her with arrest.

Police arrested Cobbs and took her by patrol car to the Porter County Jail.

Cobbs, of Chicago, was charged with disorderly conduct.

Despite the commotion, Cobbs’ group actually ended up paying the entire bill for everyone who had eaten.

Cobbs was arrested more than two and a half years after another strange incident at an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

In December 2021, a then-24-year-old California woman challenged herself to finish her $50 sushi buffet and ate 32 rolls, four gyoza dumplings, two jalapeño poppers, a bowl of miso soup, and a bowl of edamame. The woman, who shared her story on TikTok, ended up in a hospital where she was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or acid reflux.
