If it’s fresh shrimp That is not a bad deal

It had better be a heaping helping.

With today’s inflation that sounds about right.

This sounds kinda fishy to me.

Apparently, I’ve already had all I can eat!

I like shrimp, but not enough to have all-you-can-eat. One serving is about all I’d need. But, not for $30.

Next time bring a seal,

jumbo shrimp is my favorite oxymoron…

all you can eat… so long as you can pay.

Brutus is out of luck again, it’s not unlimited shrimp, all he can eat is on one $30 plate and I’m guessing another plate is another $30…

Shrimp is ridiculously expensive these days unless and perhaps even if you live close to the docks. I was at a restaurant a while back and there was a suggestion to add fried shrimp to the meal for $6.00. Curious, I asked the server how many shrimp one got. Three, just three regular fried shrimp. I declined. Later at the grocery store, I bought a box of a dozen for $7.00 and cooked them in the air fryer. I understand the restaurant has a ridiculous amount of expenses, but I thought the asking price exorbitant.

I just don’t trust “all you can eat” food. Or buffets. Or shrimp in a greasy spoon diner.

They’re not going to lose any money on their today’s special, that’s for sure. However, I don’t believe that they will have too many sales either. That’s also for sure….

Note the look on Brutus’ face in last panel…..says it all!

Only Brutus Thornapple would fall for the all you can eat shrimp special. All you can eat usually means that is a leftover, leftover.

Reminds me of how, I believe it was Comcast, a few years ago, offered an “Unlimited” Data Download Plan for their Internet Service. Turns out it was not Unlimited. There was a point at which you would be charged more if you exceeded it…

Oh, how I miss the all you can eat king crab legs for $9.95.

And it tastes like rubber…

Looks like Brutus is wising up a little. At least he thought to check on the price before he ordered.

And the cocktail sauce is extra

If you like shrimp, try the Wild West Shrimp appetizer from Longhorn Steakhouse. It costs $11, and they give you enough to make a decent meal. We had some the other day, and it was delicious. No, I’m not connected with that restaurant in any way other than the fact that I love that appetizer.

That’s all you can eat, bub!
