So is this a challenge or just unlimited refills? I can understand a Resturant cutting people of if they are wasting or packing up the food to take home, as the point of the all u can eat is to attract customers to the Resturant and buy other things.
When places do all you can eat then know 99.9% of customers will not eat more then one reorder that’s why they do it. I am so glad you got a real owner who gets it. That’s rare and wonderful to see. Great content.
@@oobydoobytooby4430I wish he kicked Joel out so the restaurant can shut down. We need less restaurants like this. All you can eat, is all you can eat, not, "When we feel like you've had enough".
@lehvrhon5319 Do you think if that owner didn't see or notice that Joel had almost a million followers he would do that? Do you think if a regular customer got into that situation he would treat them equally? I doubt that. Obviously the waiter came up and said he watches his content. Obviously they saw him filming and looked him up. The manager did the intelligent thing to not get bad press. If it was a regular person, I'm sure they'd be kicked out from the restaurant. Amazing service after they knew about his clout. Pretty simple to spot.
Well you have to expect this to happen every once in a while especially if u run that special every week ! These pro eaters will soon find your place to try especially if it's good. But most the time just like he said he pays much more then he even ate . And with him doing the video , shout out and had good following it's free marketing and will bring people in the door!! It's a win win sometimes!
They should put in writing, all you can eat in an "hour. " Half an hour for professional eaters!! That opens up seats for incoming customers ! Then it's total transparency!!! Perfect recipe!! Chop chop
The one hour helps with turning tables, but you’re dependent on the efficiency of the server. They should refill with fish AND chips each time. The chips will slow down most people from eating too much.

I was sweating just watching you eat that many fried fish, but wow, when the manager said 10 more coming right up, my stomach starting to hurt with sympathy pains for you! I have been known to put away a lot of food in one sitting but you take the cake! WOW! Much respect to your stomach!
That fish looked AMAZING! I was so excited to see this and then so bummed when they cut you off. But then to hear the manager turn it around and double down... AMAZING!
@@Pepening that’s called consent… someone “cutting you off of sex cuz they’ve had too much” is a completely valid thing to do, same with a restaurant RUNNING OUT OF STOCK and having the right to cut someone off. Fish is expensive. 25+ pieces is not worth $15.
Exactly as someone with eating disorders and can’t eat certain food and can’t eat out much, I love through him. And he makes me want to eat and cook a lot of food. So in a way he has helped me a lot.
Owner levelled up!......Got Respect for that! GOD Bless him. A good man that he is, keeps his word... If you are in that area, visit this restaurant, give him the business a good man like this deserves. Way to go Joel, you handled it like a gentleman!
They went about it all wrong. Jus to tell Joel that this is gonna be the last pieces and hes cut off...should have came to him w the truth to begin with and say ya man we're jus running out of product. Joel always responds w respect!
The situation was handled ALLLL kinds of wrong until the owner stepped in. If they didn’t have the supply, that should’ve been stated in the first place. Most people would be much more understanding of that, especially competitive eaters like him that eat an enormous amount. Just say you weren’t prepared for that and didn’t have any fish left. Never should’ve been told “you’re cut off,” which I’m betting is exactly what the cooks told the server to say while they were b*tching in the back 😂
The owner/management made it right and that means a lot to me at places like this so kudos, I’ve had issues with restaurants in the past few years and it doesn’t seem like they do right by the customer and when they step in and make things right it means a lot these days
Great content 👌, what a nice way to recommend the restaurant after the minor dispute. Hats off to the restaurant owner for the way he turned the negative mood /vibe into an overwhelmingly positive mood/vibe of the customer. Fantastic management lesson too. Many thanks for your contents.
All you can eat fish in a landlocked desert for $15 during Bidenflation is beyond charity. I'd understand from a business standpoint if they actually cut him off from the manager level. Curious if it was the camera that acted as a lifeline though.
On this occasion I side with the restaurant, who handled it extremely well. All you can eat is loosely aimed at ‘normal people’ not professional eaters gorging themselves. If you were paying something like 40-50 bucks then maybe grounds to complain but $15? They are a business and I understand why they would try and cut you off.
Here's the thing: it's absolutely unacceptable and fraudulent. Most people are not going to eat nearly as much as Joel and the "all you can eat" clause covers those rare cases. This is deceptive and anti-consumer. You need to raise your ethical standards.
It’s called all you can eat for a reason . Not all the cooks wants you to eat . He’s probably 1 out of 100 people who eat like this. They make more than enough off the 99 others who don’t eat their fair share. As a restaurant set limits because I know damn well if he only ate one piece they wouldn’t charge him less.
@@mattgalloup294 you don’t know anything about the restaurant business. They only have so many prepped most likely (for probably the next day as well) and they’re not going to start prepping late in the day while they’re open
I sympathize with the chef. This isn't really a challenge dish. That salad alone costs $15 at a lot of restaurants. Fries and 24 FAT pieces of fish for that is an amazing deal. Kudos to the owner for above and beyond, but also, I wouldn't get mad after 24 pieces of fish. I would have just offered to buy another all you can eat and reset the counter. When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be cut off at like 8 or 10 pieces...I would have been critical of that. But 24 pieces is WAY more than anything they expected when setting that price.
The amount of times this would actually happen though makes it pretty much insignificant when you notice the guy ploughing through the fish has a tripod setup with your restaurant banner in the backdrop. What Joel is doing is challenging "all you can eats".
Actually, early in the video Joel said the "record" was 9. We couldn't tell for sure that the server confirmed it, but someone seems to have kept track at some point.
Sorry but that's no excuse - there are plenty of 'all you can eats' that have the forethought to set some rules to ensure this doesn't happen, but if you don't set those rules, you have to be prepared for people like this.
What a wonderful restaurant - that manager was so phenomenally accommodating, friendly and helpful. I hope they get lots of business as a result of this video. And so nice to hear that server say you have helped him through his depression and struggles with eating. I also struggle with depression and genuinely appreciate your content and respect for other people (which is so apparent in the way you deal with everyone).
Nothing in this world is completely free, what's probable is that someone told the manager he was a big time youtuber and he could get them more publicity. That's why they went above and beyond. If he wasn't they would likely kick him out
@@HistorybyLeo too bad theyre legally not allowed to kick anyone out. its called all you can eat, and unless they state other restrictions, you can eat as much as you want. if they cut you off its called breach of contract and you can sue the restaurant
Ok I am kinda indifferent about this experience...before they announced that you were cut off, you said you were full and could probably only do only 2 to 5 more. When the owner asked what you wanted...you asked for 5 more when you already had 2 on your plate. I am saying all of this to say... Restaurants prep food based on expected customer volume... you are an anomaly. You are a professional eater, and a professional thing to do is inform the Restaurants ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
I agree and he should already know to pay extra money instead of trying to be cheap. It’s not fair to the company to feed you what they will feed 10 customers and make their profit. You can possibly make it harder for other people so plan ahead and pay more money because you already know you gonna eat more food
That has nothing to do with it then don’t make something, ALL YOU CAN EAT? so what if someoen not a professional eater but can eat a lot so they have to let them know ahead of time? Foh stupid azz comment it’s all you can eat so no you don’t have to let them know in advanced
A lot of fish restaurants blanch cook the fish a head of time so you don’t have to wait so long for your food when it’s cooked the rest of the way, and one person eating that much would definitely ruin a normal dinner’s experience if there isn’t enough food for them to cook for normal customers.
You're tripping dude. I work in a restaurant, and you always overprepare, especially when there's some sort of special going on. We've had crazy rushes happen on a monday night and we didn't run out or have to cut anybody off, and it wasn't a holiday or special day of any sort. Just treat joel as a party of 10 unexpectedly showing up at your door, happens to every restaurant fucking everywhere all the time. Would a party of ten need to call ahead? If you're turning away walk-ins of 10 because you didn't prep enough food, you're running a bad business. I would be ecstatic to have a man with 800K subscribers walk in the door, my restaurant would probably give him free food, because that's basically free advertising, compared to how much actual advertising costs, vs the cost of 20 pieces of cod.
The owner handled the situation like a champ. I definitely know how the conversation in the kitchen went down. The advertisement Joel gave them alone was worth the cost. Respect, but the cook making the call to cut him off definitely got chewed. 😆 🤣 😂
yeah its one thing there is a limit like all you can eat in a hour or 2 hours. there is a korean bqq place in Los angles areas that you have all you can eat within 2 hours. that makes sense. if this place is a all you can eat and no time limit then what the heck is the deal with them. mainly the cooks. it shouldnt matter to them how much someone orders
@@teddyholiday8038 I went to their Menu online. They don't have all-you-can-eat fish on it anymore. I can't blame them for removing it. That video only will attract a lot of freeloaders. If Joel paid them in advance to demonstrate how much Fish he could eat. That would be fair to the restaurant. I am sure a lot of people will show up to savagely devour AUCE, Fish. The benefit the Restaurants will receive. Some will buy other things on the Menu, they are there, and, AUCE, Fish is no longer on the Menu... LOL
Seriously best owners ever. If I’m in the area they have made a customer out of me!!! That food looks amazing and the staff seem polite!! Super awesome experience
I completely understand the frustration. I think you asked the perfect question....is it all you can eat or is it a limit. You handled that perfectly. To tell a customer they are cut off is embarrassing. I'm sure it was a bs excuse that they were running out but glad they fixed the situation.
Been watching you for at least a couple years now. I love you man you’re just enjoyable and funny and have a great attitude can’t wait for 1 million subs brotha!!🎉❤
I think the manager knew he was being recorded? But still the Right attitude.I live in Ventura California in a beach Community. We pay $18.99 for 3 or 4 pieces of fish. Me personally they should raise their price to $20.99 for all you can eat fish.
"They should raise their price" No my dude, they shouldn't, can we afford it? Sure, but if they have it at that price it's because they're still making profits, so instead, why not pass your desire to give more money to the waiter/waitress serving you at the time? Win/win.
@@Beautiful_Mess Yeah he was, until the owner realized hundreds of thousands of viewers were going to see false advertising in action at his establishment
Joel, Stop creating this “All you can eat” drama. You can avoid this by being upfront and talking to management BEFORE you cruise in. Figure something fair out in advance with them. Otherwise guys like you just absolutely kill profits and reputations for struggling places such as this one.
Im glad that restaurant has a good manager. Running out is a big deal, because we dont know what time you were eating there, and we dont know what time they close. Its not the patrons responsibility to plan ahead for the amount of guests the restaurant might have, and what they might need in terms of food for service. Very happy with your attitude with the whole situation, understanding, while being disappointed, and thankful for the outcome.
Every interactions give you a chance to correct the situation. This manager went above and beyond. Not only did he avoid a boycott now people will be driving themselves to his restaurant. If its near by me, I would definitely pay them a visit. Well done Joel and the Manager.
man those were some ginormous hunks of fish! good on them for fixing the issue, im sure the cooks were just scared of running out but couldve handled it way better. but the manager/owner came to the rescue. and so cool that waiter watched and you helped with his mental health! all around great episode
Wow how amazing did that food look. Hats off to how the situation was handled, well done to management, for handling the situation with professionalism and going above and beyond in customer service. And how sweet that u have helped someone thru a hard time Joel. Wonderful video. ❤
True class from the manager there. It's a good thing you didn't just accept that "cut-off" from the cooks, Joel, and it's smart that you asked for the manager. Based on your past experiences, you realized that theoretically the manager would have the ultimate discretion to choose to stop the reorders, not really the cooks. Smart thing on your end again, Joel👏
Mate the look on your face when the waitress said "You're cut off" - priceless! Love how you worked with management to turn a negative into a positive. Huge respect for this challenge and for the manager stepping in to let you keep going. That does look like the best cod out there!
Understandably cut off, most restaurants don’t prep for competitive eaters unless it is stated as a challenge for that specific place. Also, they have many orders to fulfill per night and only have so much supply per day. It’s good to recognize that and maybe call and tell them beforehand, as a suggestion.
@@bluejay4479 I understand the logic behind that but the bottom line is you get what’s advertised. If the sign says all you can eat then that’s what it should be. Many people have stated they’re fine with restrictions as long as they’re made clear.
Love it when a business owner and managers see a major gain in this, this is the best priced advertising ever, what a great deal you offer these restaurants really. After watching your videos, who wouldn't take recommendations on these places you eat at. Awesome
Great video, i was the fry cook on shift that day. i just wanted to clear some things up because i see alot of comments not understand what happened. We run our all you can eat fish on Friday. We order our shipment of fish on Thursday night and prep it in the morning on Friday. When he came in it was on a Wednesday or Thursday (i don't remember) we only had 50 pieces of fish left from stock and we had a couple order fish before him. Then we cut fish off and only served him fish. At the time we thought we had enough because nobody ever has eaten 40+ pieces of fish. Once he reached the end we let him know we ran out. He was great about it but people need to stop saying we cut him off because we didn't want him eating anymore 😂
I wonder why fish and chips is limiting, maybe they just under order or under estimate. Joel, I really enjoy how you handle and interact with staff and management. Sometimes just a miss understanding. EVERYONE who goes out to eat where other people serve you, us need to see this and how things are handled. You are a GEM and a nice human being. 💙💙and yep good job! Enjoy watching you.
I have mixed feelings about this. I think winning challenges is very fair, but I do think that it’s exceptionally gluttonous to consume such a massive amount of food at restaurants that aren’t offering it as a challenge. This hits close to home because I’ve personally seen three restaurants that have been dealing with massive inflation issues and shutting down due to cost. It’s also no secret that people are literally starving to death and can’t even get food in some places. Maybe tell the restaurant upfront that you’re going to likely be eating quadruple what an average person would and give them a chance to opt out of serving you.
That sounds a little like discrimination. I know your menu says all you can eat, but not YOU. Not just speaking about Joel either. Some people who intermittent fast can really put food away. If a restaurant doesn't want to serve everyone, they shouldn't offer it.
Agreed. Joel should’ve let the restaurant know due to he’s eating a huge amount. Remember Joel, you’re making a lot of money from TH-cam from doing what you doing. Picking a small business to do what you’re doing. Please let the restaurant know to prepare and next time offer to pay them 10X the amount. I suggested you go to Las Vegas casino buffet to do your eating challenge, after All those casino don’t care how much u eat. They made millions and billions of dollars. Stop going to small business restaurants to do your challenge and if u do, offer to pay 5x-10x. Honestly, I think you very greedy and inconsiderate . Im glad the manager/owner handled this kinds of people well. I’m starting to dislike your fish and chip all you can eat challenge. When u were told u got cut off. Why were u pretending to be shocked 😂. Come on, u know u did a lot of damage.
@@KhomkessMyaszrilphast_ I understand all of that but if a business is struggling to the point of closure, either change their prices or stop offering all you can eat lol. Also don't forget the value that Joel himself brings. It's free advertisement for their business, which will in return bring in more customers. That same advertisement by anyone, especially someone with this many subscribers cost way more than those pieces of fish.
It's funny how he thinks they have a problem when he almost finished more than half of their prep for the evening. I worked kitchens and having a person eat half he prep, even if it's an all you can eat, screws up the business. If he called them in the day to let them know he would be eating this much they could prep for it. I like the channel but I'm surprised he's surprised that they cut him off. Like I said, let them know ahead of time so they can prep for it. It's not cool. Love the way the owner said you can have 10 lol that threw him off lol Save face bro
Listen you're gonna have to lower your expectations if you think that qualifies the kitchen for being poorly run. Guarantee much worse happens in establishments you think are well run.
@@kenyatta411 not even kidding. So I live in Ohio too. By the Indiana side. And from Alabama. Ohio dosent have good seafood places or often around at all. Hard to find good fish it seems most people around this area either don’t like fish or don’t enough to want a resturaunt based around seafood tbh. Something not fast food at least.
It’s so funny, everytime he gets cut off it’s like a sad puppy not expecting it. But deep down he knows something is going to happen with all you can eat fish and chips.
@@JoelHansen They were great, but that’s not the point. I watch your videos, but I don’t think it’s fair for you to make the restaurants look bad when you get cut off. Imagine if you were in their shoes.
@@JumboJuneauhe didn’t make them look bad if a business looks bad then it’s something they did to themselves. He was raving about everything the whole time. It actually made me want to try fish it looked that good.

That fish looks amazing! Great job owner for sorting everything out! Thats what its all about!
Tucsonan here. That fish looks so good. I'm taking my family there. It's 1 and 1/2 hour drive away. Once again Thanks Joel.
Hope you enjoy great people
Tell them Joel Hansen sent you their way!! The guy that ate 34 pieces of "All you can eat fish dinner!! 😂😂
Record of 9 pieces broken by a mile!!
I can see why that server showed appreciation, you do have an good energy and a uplifting soul, hope much success comes your way man.
heart attack before he turns 40 by the way his gluttonery looks out of control
Man you're real polite and down to earth, keep it up, thanks for entertaining us.
They went about it all wrong. Jus to tell Joel that this is gonna be the last pieces and hes cut off...should have came to him w the truth to begin with and say ya man we're jus running out of product. Joel always responds w respect!
It’s for normal eaters. Not “professional” eaters. lol.
@SunshinePaige then there needs to be a disclaimer underneath *maximum of 25 filets etc.
The situation was handled ALLLL kinds of wrong until the owner stepped in. If they didn’t have the supply, that should’ve been stated in the first place. Most people would be much more understanding of that, especially competitive eaters like him that eat an enormous amount. Just say you weren’t prepared for that and didn’t have any fish left. Never should’ve been told “you’re cut off,” which I’m betting is exactly what the cooks told the server to say while they were b*tching in the back 😂
The owner/management made it right and that means a lot to me at places like this so kudos, I’ve had issues with restaurants in the past few years and it doesn’t seem like they do right by the customer and when they step in and make things right it means a lot these days
They were great
Great content 👌, what a nice way to recommend the restaurant after the minor dispute. Hats off to the restaurant owner for the way he turned the negative mood /vibe into an overwhelmingly positive mood/vibe of the customer. Fantastic management lesson too. Many thanks for your contents.
This guy says " I don't want to show the name of the restaurant" when it's literally RIGHT BEHIND HIM... 😆
The owner was so sweet!!! If I wasn’t so far he would get my business ALLLLL THE TIME! The waiter he was so sweet also! ❤❤

All you can eat fish in a landlocked desert for $15 during Bidenflation is beyond charity. I'd understand from a business standpoint if they actually cut him off from the manager level. Curious if it was the camera that acted as a lifeline though.
@@borri68 no, it's fish and potatoes
@@danieldaniels7571 chips are same as fries
@@danieldaniels7571 15$ hardly gets you fast food nowadays,15$ for all you can eat anything is worth it.
That's the funniest part.
His innocent face saying I'm cut off and acting baffled.
On this occasion I side with the restaurant, who handled it extremely well. All you can eat is loosely aimed at ‘normal people’ not professional eaters gorging themselves. If you were paying something like 40-50 bucks then maybe grounds to complain but $15? They are a business and I understand why they would try and cut you off.
Exactly. He shouldnt act so surprised when they want to cut him off, They need to make $$ not give it away.
Here's the thing: it's absolutely unacceptable and fraudulent. Most people are not going to eat nearly as much as Joel and the "all you can eat" clause covers those rare cases. This is deceptive and anti-consumer. You need to raise your ethical standards.
It’s called all you can eat for a reason . Not all the cooks wants you to eat . He’s probably 1 out of 100 people who eat like this. They make more than enough off the 99 others who don’t eat their fair share. As a restaurant set limits because I know damn well if he only ate one piece they wouldn’t charge him less.
EXACTLY!!! He could brake the bank!
@@mattgalloup294 you don’t know anything about the restaurant business. They only have so many prepped most likely (for probably the next day as well) and they’re not going to start prepping late in the day while they’re open
I sympathize with the chef. This isn't really a challenge dish. That salad alone costs $15 at a lot of restaurants. Fries and 24 FAT pieces of fish for that is an amazing deal. Kudos to the owner for above and beyond, but also, I wouldn't get mad after 24 pieces of fish. I would have just offered to buy another all you can eat and reset the counter. When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be cut off at like 8 or 10 pieces...I would have been critical of that. But 24 pieces is WAY more than anything they expected when setting that price.
The amount of times this would actually happen though makes it pretty much insignificant when you notice the guy ploughing through the fish has a tripod setup with your restaurant banner in the backdrop.
What Joel is doing is challenging "all you can eats".
Actually, early in the video Joel said the "record" was 9. We couldn't tell for sure that the server confirmed it, but someone seems to have kept track at some point.
@@f-empire-8it’s not reasonable to believe most ppl would eat the way Joel does. It’s really distasteful that he went to a buffet knowing that
Sorry but that's no excuse - there are plenty of 'all you can eats' that have the forethought to set some rules to ensure this doesn't happen, but if you don't set those rules, you have to be prepared for people like this.
It’s all you can eat it’s false advertisement if not 😂
What a wonderful restaurant - that manager was so phenomenally accommodating, friendly and helpful. I hope they get lots of business as a result of this video. And so nice to hear that server say you have helped him through his depression and struggles with eating. I also struggle with depression and genuinely appreciate your content and respect for other people (which is so apparent in the way you deal with everyone).
Nothing in this world is completely free, what's probable is that someone told the manager he was a big time youtuber and he could get them more publicity. That's why they went above and beyond. If he wasn't they would likely kick him out
@@HistorybyLeo too bad theyre legally not allowed to kick anyone out. its called all you can eat, and unless they state other restrictions, you can eat as much as you want. if they cut you off its called breach of contract and you can sue the restaurant
Ok I am kinda indifferent about this experience...before they announced that you were cut off, you said you were full and could probably only do only 2 to 5 more. When the owner asked what you wanted...you asked for 5 more when you already had 2 on your plate. I am saying all of this to say... Restaurants prep food based on expected customer volume... you are an anomaly. You are a professional eater, and a professional thing to do is inform the Restaurants ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
I agree and he should already know to pay extra money instead of trying to be cheap. It’s not fair to the company to feed you what they will feed 10 customers and make their profit. You can possibly make it harder for other people so plan ahead and pay more money because you already know you gonna eat more food
That has nothing to do with it then don’t make something, ALL YOU CAN EAT? so what if someoen not a professional eater but can eat a lot so they have to let them know ahead of time? Foh stupid azz comment it’s all you can eat so no you don’t have to let them know in advanced
A lot of fish restaurants blanch cook the fish a head of time so you don’t have to wait so long for your food when it’s cooked the rest of the way, and one person eating that much would definitely ruin a normal dinner’s experience if there isn’t enough food for them to cook for normal customers.
Im sure he pays more for what he eats at the end. We just don't see it.
You're tripping dude. I work in a restaurant, and you always overprepare, especially when there's some sort of special going on. We've had crazy rushes happen on a monday night and we didn't run out or have to cut anybody off, and it wasn't a holiday or special day of any sort. Just treat joel as a party of 10 unexpectedly showing up at your door, happens to every restaurant fucking everywhere all the time. Would a party of ten need to call ahead? If you're turning away walk-ins of 10 because you didn't prep enough food, you're running a bad business.
I would be ecstatic to have a man with 800K subscribers walk in the door, my restaurant would probably give him free food, because that's basically free advertising, compared to how much actual advertising costs, vs the cost of 20 pieces of cod.
HAT'S OFF to this establishment. They know how to run a business SUCCESSFULLY.
Thats your friendly manner that turned them around your heart.❤
The look on joel face when he said 10 🤣
The owner handled the situation like a champ. I definitely know how the conversation in the kitchen went down. The advertisement Joel gave them alone was worth the cost. Respect, but the cook making the call to cut him off definitely got chewed. 😆 🤣 😂
It's not like this happens all the time or ever. The chef and staff probably had no clue what to do. U can only prepare and cook so much fish 🐟.
yeah its one thing there is a limit like all you can eat in a hour or 2 hours. there is a korean bqq place in Los angles areas that you have all you can eat within 2 hours. that makes sense. if this place is a all you can eat and no time limit then what the heck is the deal with them. mainly the cooks. it shouldnt matter to them how much someone orders
“We’re running out of fish” looooooool
They may lose some money in the short term, but you are the best advertisement for these restaurants. It's a win in the long term!
,,,loose money,,,, are you kidding me....tey make money hand over fist !!!
Not really. How many people are gonna go to this place just because Joel went there? Less than 100?
@@teddyholiday8038 I went to their Menu online. They don't have all-you-can-eat fish on it anymore. I can't blame them for removing it. That video only will attract a lot of freeloaders. If Joel paid them in advance to demonstrate how much Fish he could eat. That would be fair to the restaurant. I am sure a lot of people will show up to savagely devour AUCE, Fish. The benefit the Restaurants will receive. Some will buy other things on the Menu, they are there, and, AUCE, Fish is no longer on the Menu... LOL

They did brilliantly! That manager needs a pay rise! I’ve never seen a situation handled so well. Big up to the guy! Xx
Excellent manager, he just got himself a ton of goodwill and customers.
I completely understand the frustration. I think you asked the perfect question....is it all you can eat or is it a limit. You handled that perfectly. To tell a customer they are cut off is embarrassing. I'm sure it was a bs excuse that they were running out but glad they fixed the situation.
Been watching you for at least a couple years now. I love you man you’re just enjoyable and funny and have a great attitude can’t wait for 1 million subs brotha!!🎉❤
I think the manager knew he was being recorded? But still the Right attitude.I live in Ventura California in a beach Community. We pay $18.99 for 3 or 4 pieces of fish. Me personally they should raise their price to $20.99 for all you can eat fish.
This guy's basically just a ticktock'er 👍
No they should lower it… it doesn’t cost anywhere near that amount of money for them.
"They should raise their price" No my dude, they shouldn't, can we afford it? Sure, but if they have it at that price it's because they're still making profits, so instead, why not pass your desire to give more money to the waiter/waitress serving you at the time? Win/win.
It's a sports bar. Their food prices are to bring people in. They make their money off the alcoholic drinks people usually order with their food.

Joel, Stop creating this “All you can eat” drama. You can avoid this by being upfront and talking to management BEFORE you cruise in. Figure something fair out in advance with them. Otherwise guys like you just absolutely kill profits and reputations for struggling places such as this one.
Thumbs up to the owner... ❤❤❤ 100% great managment

Im glad that restaurant has a good manager. Running out is a big deal, because we dont know what time you were eating there, and we dont know what time they close.
Its not the patrons responsibility to plan ahead for the amount of guests the restaurant might have, and what they might need in terms of food for service.
Very happy with your attitude with the whole situation, understanding, while being disappointed, and thankful for the outcome.

anyone boycotting a restaurant because of one of these idiots vlog blog is definitely a bigger idiot to start with.
man those were some ginormous hunks of fish! good on them for fixing the issue, im sure the cooks were just scared of running out but couldve handled it way better. but the manager/owner came to the rescue. and so cool that waiter watched and you helped with his mental health! all around great episode

True class from the manager there. It's a good thing you didn't just accept that "cut-off" from the cooks, Joel, and it's smart that you asked for the manager. Based on your past experiences, you realized that theoretically the manager would have the ultimate discretion to choose to stop the reorders, not really the cooks. Smart thing on your end again, Joel👏
I find it soooo funny that Joel is genuinely disappointed and sad that he is cut off 😂🤣😂 and he was already full at that time 😅😅😅

Understandably cut off, most restaurants don’t prep for competitive eaters unless it is stated as a challenge for that specific place. Also, they have many orders to fulfill per night and only have so much supply per day. It’s good to recognize that and maybe call and tell them beforehand, as a suggestion.
but then it wouldnt have controversy so = no clickbait titles and stupid cut-off videos = less traffic
@@bluejay4479 I understand the logic behind that but the bottom line is you get what’s advertised. If the sign says all you can eat then that’s what it should be. Many people have stated they’re fine with restrictions as long as they’re made clear.
@@CougheyCup Restaurants have the option of asking you to leave. You’re taking up a seat for additional customers.
Love it when a business owner and managers see a major gain in this, this is the best priced advertising ever, what a great deal you offer these restaurants really. After watching your videos, who wouldn't take recommendations on these places you eat at. Awesome
Great video, i was the fry cook on shift that day. i just wanted to clear some things up because i see alot of comments not understand what happened. We run our all you can eat fish on Friday. We order our shipment of fish on Thursday night and prep it in the morning on Friday. When he came in it was on a Wednesday or Thursday (i don't remember) we only had 50 pieces of fish left from stock and we had a couple order fish before him. Then we cut fish off and only served him fish. At the time we thought we had enough because nobody ever has eaten 40+ pieces of fish. Once he reached the end we let him know we ran out. He was great about it but people need to stop saying we cut him off because we didn't want him eating anymore 😂
The fish looked delicious. Perfectly fried too. Unfortunately I've had over fried food😢
@@Madel1554 thank you very much! Was fun cooking it
I feel bad for the other people in the place trying to also have fish as well.

The issue was corrected but let's not rewrite history when there's proof - the waitress literally says he's cut off in the video.
Kudos to the manager , seems a good guy .
Yes
That was a beautiful interaction , you always bring the best out of people, thanks Joel 👻
I wonder why fish and chips is limiting, maybe they just under order or under estimate. Joel, I really enjoy how you handle and interact with staff and management. Sometimes just a miss understanding. EVERYONE who goes out to eat where other people serve you, us need to see this and how things are handled. You are a GEM and a nice human being. 💙💙and yep good job! Enjoy watching you.
I have mixed feelings about this. I think winning challenges is very fair, but I do think that it’s exceptionally gluttonous to consume such a massive amount of food at restaurants that aren’t offering it as a challenge. This hits close to home because I’ve personally seen three restaurants that have been dealing with massive inflation issues and shutting down due to cost. It’s also no secret that people are literally starving to death and can’t even get food in some places. Maybe tell the restaurant upfront that you’re going to likely be eating quadruple what an average person would and give them a chance to opt out of serving you.
That sounds a little like discrimination. I know your menu says all you can eat, but not YOU. Not just speaking about Joel either. Some people who intermittent fast can really put food away. If a restaurant doesn't want to serve everyone, they shouldn't offer it.
If that’s the case maybe they shouldn’t offer all you can eat
Agreed. He should let them know prior to filming because his capacity is absurd.
Agreed. Joel should’ve let the restaurant know due to he’s eating a huge amount. Remember Joel, you’re making a lot of money from TH-cam from doing what you doing. Picking a small business to do what you’re doing. Please let the restaurant know to prepare and next time offer to pay them 10X the amount. I suggested you go to Las Vegas casino buffet to do your eating challenge, after All those casino don’t care how much u eat. They made millions and billions of dollars. Stop going to small business restaurants to do your challenge and if u do, offer to pay 5x-10x. Honestly, I think you very greedy and inconsiderate . Im glad the manager/owner handled this kinds of people well. I’m starting to dislike your fish and chip all you can eat challenge. When u were told u got cut off. Why were u pretending to be shocked 😂. Come on, u know u did a lot of damage.
@@KhomkessMyaszrilphast_ I understand all of that but if a business is struggling to the point of closure, either change their prices or stop offering all you can eat lol. Also don't forget the value that Joel himself brings. It's free advertisement for their business, which will in return bring in more customers. That same advertisement by anyone, especially someone with this many subscribers cost way more than those pieces of fish.
It's funny how he thinks they have a problem when he almost finished more than half of their prep for the evening. I worked kitchens and having a person eat half he prep, even if it's an all you can eat, screws up the business.
If he called them in the day to let them know he would be eating this much they could prep for it.
I like the channel but I'm surprised he's surprised that they cut him off.
Like I said, let them know ahead of time so they can prep for it.
It's not cool.
