A wild lunchtime throwdown outside a Toledo, Ohio buffet has gone viral, and it’s giving “food fight” a whole new meaning. The now-infamous scene took place just outside Mr. Panda, a beloved local all-you-can-eat joint, where tempers flared and fists flew right in front of the restaurant’s glowing “OPEN” sign.
It all started when a bystander captured the chaos on video and posted it online. The caption was as stunned as the rest of us: “I can’t even enjoy a nice lunch in Toledo, they out here battling at the Mr. Panda #Ohio.” From there, the video caught fire, racking up thousands of views, retweets, and enough spicy commentary to rival the restaurant’s General Tso’s chicken.
Ohio Buffet Brawl Goes Viral For All The Wrong Reasons
In the clip, multiple people are seen throwing punches and getting tangled up in what looks like a very unsanctioned UFC match, buffet edition. One standout moment? A man in a light-blue shirt and boldly patterned shorts has his pants slip off as he gets pulled into the melee while others shout and push near the entrance like it’s Black Friday at Best Buy.
“Extreme competition at the all you can eat buffet…you really have to want it,” one person commented. “Holy Toledo. Is this what the saying was created for?” another joked. “Clash of the titans,” said a third social media user. “Disgusting in so many ways,” a fourth comment read. “Why can’t I look away from this monstrosity?” one person chimed in.
The Internet Couldn’t Stop With The Jokes
While the internet had a field day cracking jokes (and memes), details remain murky. No word yet on what exactly sparked the buffet beatdown—whether it was the last crab leg, an ex showing up uninvited, or someone just having a very bad day. There’s also no confirmation on whether police were called or if any charges were filed.
Meanwhile, one thing is for sure, this wasn’t your average lunch rush in Toledo. Mr. Panda might be known for its unlimited portions, but nobody expected to get a front-row seat to a full-blown brawl with their egg rolls. It looks like this Ohio buffet battle is getting served up all across the internet, and people can’t stop watching.
