If I keep eating at an All You Can Eat can they kick me out?

Like if I go to somewhere that has an endless buffet and I pay for it, can I stay there? Even if they close?

I could just pace myself and eat really slowly so I don't get too full.

How long can I stay and eat before they kick me out?

And if they do kick me out can I sue them because they literally advertised for "endless" and I paid for that

    You cannot stay after they close.

    And it's all you can eat at one time; you can't stay all there and have multiple meals.

    You can never stay beyond business hours. But of course, you already knew that, troll.

    Of course they can kick you out if you overstay your welcome. Endless doesn't really mean endless, or you'd never have to leave the premises, and they'd never get a day off.

    A story like this hits the local news once ever few years and legally they owner can kick you out based upon time, not the amount of food. Usually two hours. But of course there is no expectation to allow you to stay beyond normal business hours either.

    At every place you eat out, especially at buffets, they will (not) keep stocking up food and will be throwing it away or storing it for the next day. They do this, usually w/in an hour of closing, thus to get the staff to clean up and go home.

    So, my guess w/in 30 minutes after closing, there will be NOTHING left to eat but your own plate that you have. When all the food is gone and you are still sitting there, then most likely will have the police come and remove you for trespassing, so that they can lock their doors.

    Not past when they close of course.

    Yes they can kick you out.

    "All You Can Eat" means "All You Can Eat At One Meal", not "You Can Move In And We Will Pay Our Staff To Feed You 24/7 indefinitely."

    you are out when they close or you get arrested for trespass. as to otherwise ... they may put reasonable time limit on your eating ... say two hours

    They can kick you out when they are closing......... I remember taking my kids to one and my son eats huge amounts and continued to fill his plate long after we finished eating and we noticed the staff were replacing only certain foods and not others, so limiting his choices
