A huge brawl broke out among patrons at a Pennsylvania Golden Corral on Friday evening after the buffet reportedly ran out of steaks, police said.
Video of the public disturbance shows chairs flying across the room and punches being thrown between dozens of people.

Investigators are trying to narrow down how the fight started, WJHG reports. Police say the fight may have involved as many as 40 individuals.
Former Golden Corral employee Dylan Becker says that he heard from his friend, who is currently an employee, that the fight began over a steak shortage.
“There was two parties in line waiting for steak. Somebody had cut in front and then started being picky and finicky about the steaks and taking too long, and then, somebody else spoke up and said something I guess the other party didn’t like. Then, it just looks like it turned into an all-out brawl,” Becker explained.
Becker said his friend was struck by a table during the brawl.

“My friend, she’s in the video trying to break it up, and she told me she got hit by a table, and her ankle got bruised up pretty bad. And yeah, it’s scary stuff,” he said. “I’ve never seen nothing like that in Golden Corral before.”
Gaven Lauletta, another friend of Becker, confirmed that the conflict was because of steak, WJHG reports.
JK Hospitality, LLC, which owns Golden Corral, says that no serious injuries were reported from the incident.
