BENSALEM, Pennsylvania - A fight broke out at the Golden Corral buffet restaurant in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and it was caught on a video that has gone viral.

A woman named Kayla Ruggiero shared the video on Facebook, writing, “Golden Corral Buffet and Grill 1465 Street Road Bensalem.” The original video is more than 3 minutes long. The video has been shared thousands of times. Be aware that it contains graphic language. She shared the video on January 30, 2022.

According to CBS Philadelphia, police are still sorting out what happened, but a former employee told the television station that a customer grew angry “when the buffet ran out of steak.”

“I’ve never seen nothing like that in Golden Corral before,” former employee Dylan Becker said to the television station.

“From what I heard it was over steak, apparently somebody cut in line,” Becker said.

“There was a shortage of steak and two parties were involved and one family cut in front of another family, they were taking their time and they ran out of steak and it got into a heated exchange at the tables,” Gaven Lauletta, Becker’s friend, said to CBS Philadelphia.

ABC6 reported a similar motive. Alexis Rios told that television station that another customer was upset because Rios was given his steak first even though he was behind the person in line.

“(The cook is) trying to understand what you want and give you what you want,” he told the television station. “I had a rare steak, which is a lot faster to cook than a well-done steak. That’s why I got my steak first.”

Golden Corral Said No Serious Injuries Were Reported.
