Texas Roadhouse Responds to Claim Employees Tampered With Black Customers’ Food

These diners have got major beef with the steakhouse.

The beef behemoth is facing growing boycott calls after a TikTok went viral alleging a Facebook group called “White and Proud” was targeting black customers. The TikTok, posted by user Sannie Yeanay, read aloud that white servers were deliberately contaminating food.

The user said that the Facebook group had over 400,000 members where white servers discussed heading back to the kitchen’s “blind spot,” licking their fingers, touching food and spitting on rolls ordered by black diners, according to the claim.

The video has nearly 500,000 views and more than 16,500 comments. Texas Roadhouse has now responded to claims on TikTok, highlighting its standards for both employee and customer conduct.

“At Texas Roadhouse, we are committed to creating an environment where every guest is treated with respect and hospitality,” the company said. “We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or mistreatment of any kind.”

But the damage was done; customers flocked to the Texas Roadhouse post where thousands condemned the chain and even refused to dine at any location again.

The Post could not find the “White and Proud” Facebook group, its size or members. No screenshots or other evidence have been publicly released, but The Post has reached out to Logan’s Roadhouse for comment but has not heard back.

Texas Roadhouse told The Post after an investigation using “third-party firms” it claims the Facebook group is a hoax
