free refills

Unlimited drink top-ups

Free refills is a policy, common at American restaurants, allowing customers to have their beverage glass refilled at no additional charge: The diner offers free refills on coffee and soft drinks.

The practice is less common outside the United States, where visitors sometimes find it remarkable or excessive.
