Good job, morons. You managed to ruin a good thing. Feel proud of yourselves. Dumbasses.
Needless to say, the Kingfish is looking forward to eating there on his birthday and paying for it. Hell, he might even tip 100% and call it reparations on behalf of those who didn't tip.
Just couldn't resist posting this video.

KF do you really think any of those cheap shitheads are going to see this post? And is by 1 in a million chances they see it, do you really think it would change their behavior?
Let me see. 100% of 0 is———0. Great tip!
Just make the free birthday buffet exclude crab legs, that would get rid of the non-tipping crowd.
This just proves that society is at the mercy of the bottom quintile...
I suspect going to Berry's will be a more pleasurable experience going forward as a lot of the riff raff who show up once a year will no longer come. I suspect a main reason this was discontinued is there were bottom dwellers making fake IDs to get the free meal with as good as the fake ID makers have become at making them within the last few years.
0% reading comprehension is also 0. Great comment. KF said he'd pay for his meal, genius.
Amazing how entitled people are and the measures some will go to get things for free.
When you say "free" it always comes at a cost, and in this area, it's expensive.
I would be embarrassed to accept a free buffet meal for my birthday knowing the margins on that have got to be Slim a table of four probably does not leave them in the black, giving one away. Thanks, but no thanks I’d much rather pay tip well and leave happy.
Couldn't blame it on inflation. So, let's say the people are ungrateful.
Just dont honor the free birthday meal unless they have a one dollar bill pinned to their shirt, then you know its official……
Kudos to the Berry family. This had to be a hard decision. We support you and thank you so much for the great restaurant and the great people.
LMAO mad at getting called out.
My mother, Bless her Heart and RIP, always said Boo-Fay.
What a dumb comment. Those who pin a dollar to their shirt belong to the crowd who will eat $42 worth of Crab Legs. Thus the reason so many 'catfish restaurants' shutter their doors. Same as with Chinese buffet restaurants.
If you provide crab legs on a buffet, you'd be wise to add an automatic 20% tip to the bill. Period.
I was wondering how long this would last. I go at least once a week and it’s embarrassing how some just pig out! I always leave at least $5.00 tip regardless
Was it local people doing it?
7/17 2:23 pm - if one has never seen this cultural demonstration for the official declaration of birthdays then you must not be from around here.
1:31 PM beat me to it.
I too would would never inquire about a free meal (no matter the occasion).
And yes ... as KF said, I might also give a 100% tip to the serving staff at Berry's.
They are great !

Shucks, My Birthday lands on August 2nd.
Once upon a time, about 40 years ago, I was volunteering through an alcohol and drug rehab three-quarter-way program affiliated with an organization in a nearby city. The staff assigned me to do community service for a local church that had recently distributed bags of free groceries. Because there had been some issues with the deliveries, my task was to follow up. Armed with a list of names, I went door-to-door, checking to make sure each household had received their food. At every stop, I gave the same speech: "Hi, I'm following up on the free grocery deliveries from last week. Did you receive yours?" Everyone answered normally until I reached the final address on my list. I delivered my usual line and asked if they had gotten their groceries. The resident looked at me and responded with just two words:
"No meat."
12:16 when we see things about to change that effect us, we get the word real fast! And yes, you know who we is! As Dave Chappelle would say, “ya’ll are the worst”!
Many thanks to the Berry family. I will continue to come once a week as I have for many years!
Cost living and cost of doing business out of sight
12:34, It won’t change a thing. It will continue to be a miserable experience when a party of 10-15 people walk in with a birthday cake and balloons. A common occurrence at Berry’s and Mama Hamil’s. I just quit going to both.
That Buffett Catfish is also cheaper grade.
Why does this shock anyone? It's Mississippi.
1. Shucker's
2. Trace Grill
3. Sal & Phil's
Not a hard decision when you're losing money. Carry on.
Oh well. Another unique Southern tradition goes away. The times, they are a'changing. Wonder what the common denominator is.
The best server a Cajun accent Lady at Berrys Magee Ms I’ve known for years. Always get a tip from me. If I didn’t have the cash money, I make sure I let her know, I will double up next time I see her.
If you don’t want to tip at a sit down restaurant, stay your sorry ass at home.
They could make birthday buffet $10.00 and give the money to the wait staff.
That is the decision I thought they would make. Blame it on “entitled ingrates.
Reason 5,189,967,428,001 Mississippi does not have nice things. In other states, people are more grateful and have social manners. You find diapers, mouthwash, perfume in bathrooms. The shopping carts at Walmart that are separated from the line of buggies have been put there for you. Not because it is broken. Gas stations - no one pulls up to the pump and disappears inside for 10 minutes. The pumps are actually used for gas and people are respectful. No yelling or craziness. People actually help each other. No checking my receipt when I leave the store. More international people living causes more respectful people. The people here have been slaughtered generationally and I’m not sure that the sins of the past are now showing out.
A buffet restaurant draws, well, a buffet kind of crowd. There’ll be cheaper grades of food and cheaper grades of clientele. Crab legs on the menu seals the certainty of a less than satisfying dining experience. I don’t understand what it is about the crab legs that draws them in.
a little excessive,9:16
As Kim wade would say NO HOME Training
The same thing that draws the crab-legs crowd is what drew them to the noon Chinese buffets. That's why they all went out of business. Years ago you could watch the lunch crowd hit the door and later waddle out after having consumed 8000 calories (and stuffed another 4000 in their purses).
Most of 'em had gubment jobs. You could tell at a glance. Ask me how I knew.
3:13 AM, A friend and I witnessed an elderly lady of a certain demographic stuffing cornbread and fried chicken wrapped in napkins down in her purse at Mama Hamil’s.
She walked in and paid for a to go order, stuffed the foam tray full of food until the top would not close completely and proceeded to wrap cornbread and chicken in napkins. We brought it to Mr Hamil’s attention, he just happened to be upstairs and he confronted her and asked her to leave. We have not been back since.
She was stealing and thought somebody owed her something.
I rarely eat at buffets (too nasty, too many poors), but have no idea why this is such a big story.
I prefer Brandos and I am glad Berrys has decided to reduce the numbers of moron families that love to ruin the experience there.
There were plenty of white fatties that frequented China Belle when it was open.
