The claim that McDonald's has an "all you can eat" buffet, specifically one reportedly opened in Branson, Missouri, for $12.99 allowing unlimited Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, Chicken McNuggets, fries, and hot apple pies, is false. This story originated from a satirical Facebook page and has been debunked by multiple fact-check sources including Snopes and various news outlets. McDonald's has not announced or opened any buffet-style restaurants, and no official McDonald's locations currently offer all-you-can-eat buffets. However, McDonald's has experimented with some buffet-style formats in the past (such as breakfast buffets in the 1990s), but these were discontinued. Presently, their focus remains on standard menu offerings, digital ordering, and delivery. There is also an ongoing promotional event in some locations, such as in Malaysia, for limited-time unlimited eating challenges (e.g., unlimited Ayam Goreng Mekdi for 32 minutes), but this is not a buffet in the traditional sense. In summary, McDonald's does not have all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants as of 2025, and reports about such buffet openings are based on satire and misinformation.
