All restaurants have the standard "right to refuse to serve" clause
which is what allows them to cut you off. I suppose that if they did
so before a "reasonable" limit then they might not win, but all the
"I can eat 40 pounds of food" people have always lost if it went to
court.
Thus, the analogy with Netflix.
You might want to check if those cases actually went to trial or if the
restaurant just decided to settle in some way that made it look like
they "lost".
