A woman has been arrested after arguing that her ‘all you can eat’ meal could feed her entire family at the table.

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

Cops responded to a disturbance at the restaurant on the 6200 block of US Highway 6 just after 8.30pm on August 2 and found multiple people screaming.

A woman told police officers that she, Cobbs, a man and a few juveniles were arguing with the Applebee’s manager because they believed that the $15.99 deal could serve their entire family at the table.

The group claimed that the menu did not state that the deal was for one individual and that the manager did not act professionally toward them.

Cobbs showed a menu to the cops – who pointed out to the group that the menu stated ‘per person’.

But Cobbs did not stop there. As a couple were on their way out of the establishment, Cobbs got involved in a verbal altercation with them.

Cobbs refused to calm down despite a woman and officers telling her that she needed to stop her disorderly behavior, and threatening to arrest her.

Cops proceeded to take Cobbs into custody and took her by patrol car to Porter County Jail.

Cobbs, of Chicago, has been charged with disorderly conduct.

Amid the commotion, Cobbs’ party did end up paying the entire bill for everyone who ate.

Cobbs was busted more than two-and-a-half years after another weird incident at a restaurant offering an all you can eat deal.

In December 2021, a then-24-year-old California woman challenged herself to consume her $50 worth of a 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, wound up at a hospital where she was diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux disease, or acid reflux.
