McDonald’s Debuts First Ever Buffet in Branson, Missouri
Branson has become the test site for one of McDonald’s most unusual new experiments: an all-you-can-eat buffet.
For just $12.99, diners can now help themselves to unlimited Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, Chicken McNuggets, fries, and hot apple pies. Lines stretched out the door as customers piled plates high with fast-food classics, some balancing three or four red fry cartons at once.
The move has already stirred controversy. Supporters are calling it the “best deal in Branson,” while critics blasted it as “a health disaster waiting to happen.” One local parent told reporters, “I don’t want my kids thinking 50 nuggets in one sitting is normal.” Others defended the concept, pointing out that buffets are nothing new in Branson, and that McDonald’s is simply giving people what they want.
Corporate representatives declined to say if the buffet will expand nationwide, but Branson residents are already bragging that their city may have just changed the future of fast food.
