It's way less than that. In 2013, you could still get a $2 meal deal from Taco Bell that came with a burrito, bag of Doritos, and a drink. That's $2.80 in today's money. Then, I remember some dinner prices from places my parents took me when I was a kid. They're boomers so they love going to all you can eat buffets. Using that calculator, the adult price for an all you can eat pizza buffet at a CiCi's in 2000 would be $5.69 in today's money. In 2005, the adult dinner price for an all you can eat buffet at Furr's Cafeteria would be $8.39 in today's money. Even in 2013, there was an AYCE Chinese buffet that would be $7 in today's money. Those are dinner prices. And if you didn't want to eat like a boomer, there were plenty of cheaper options. But just to put things into perspective a lot of those same things don't cost $6-9 today. They cost $20+.
