Will Buffalo Wild Wings get red lobster from an all-you-can-eat deal?

Is Buffalo Wild Wings about to make a fatal mistake with its new $19.99 unlimited cuts and fries deal?

That’s the concern of social media, where consumers are still grappling with the news that Red Lobster’s all-you-can-eat shrimp deal has been so successful that it’s being credited with harming the company and helping it go bankrupt.

While Red Lobster has made all-you-can-eat shrimp a staple on its permanent menu, Buffalo Wild Wings has implemented dine-in rules on Mondays and Wednesdays (for a limited time) as a safeguard.

And you can’t share!

Please also note that the offer is valid for one per order. In other words, this isn’t aimed at American families trying to put the franchise out of business.

Clearly knowing that Americans are still up for the “all you can eat” challenge, the Buffalo Wild Wings social media team added a “Please don’t put us out of business” message in a recent post on Instagram.

Even with all the protections in place, social media believes this won’t end well.

According to a 2023 Statista chart, 30% of Americans report eating chicken nuggets at least once a month or less. A whopping 54% of Americans report eating chicken nuggets several times a month, or even almost every day.

Based on current takeout menu prices at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Ohio, 10 boneless wings will cost you $14. If you combine an order of fries, the bill goes up to $15.

How many pieces could you eat beyond 10 with all the breading BWW uses? Could you do five more? ten?

America, if you want to put another chain out of business, you better be willing to work.
