What doneness did you order and what did it come as?

[-]

SllepsCigam@reddit (OP)

Medium rare and it was definitely well done 😆

I would force customers to let me fix their steaks for them back when I was serving in school surprisingly not that long ago.

They’d say “oh no it’s not a big deal” and I’d pretty much twist their arm til they gave it to me to make it right. Granted I only did that if they ordered MR and got like MW or WD.

Times are tough bro. Take your WD steak home with you and enjoy your fresh MR one in the restaurant.

[-]

While my hair greyed at the line “I’m a bit older (late 20s)”, I respect and applaud a chef who truly wants to make the right food for people and take pride in their work. Seeing other people enjoy a dish is the whole reason I enjoy cooking and earlier in life worked in the industry. Kudos man, don’t let that change.

The world would be better off if everyone could see each others perspective. Serving good food to people made me happy. Appreciate you boss!

Deprestion@reddit

I had a manager like you approach me and my wife. Ordered mr, steak came out mooing. They insisted to take it, so we let them. Came back well done. Told them. They made a new steak, came out mooing. We just took the rare steak home and cooked it more lol

Gimme ur fuckin overcooked steak or it’s time to wrassle lil bro

[-]

khamir-ubitch@reddit

Curious, but what happens to the steaks that come out more cooked than requested and/or dishes that were accidentally made in place of another order?.

Thanks for sharing.

[-]

ThatGuyFrom720@reddit

Sure. I worked at one of the nicer chain steakhouses, but if it’s undercooked, we just throw it back on the grill and return it to the customer. Overcooked ones, the customer is more than welcome to keep it. They don’t get taken and thrown away.

As far as accidental orders, those usually get tossed. But, if they haven’t been touched by the customer, sometimes the wait staff will snack on it.

I really enjoyed restaurant work but it was always just a side gig for me. It’s a lifesaver while in school. I always have nothing but respect for them as well.

[-]

hgrub@reddit

What happen to steak people send back? Do you have to discard them or worker can have them?

[-]

ThatGuyFrom720@reddit

If it’s undercooked, it goes on the grill, then back to the customer. If it’s overcooked and we need to make a new one, the customer is welcome to keep the steak if they want.

[-]

BoardsofCanada3@reddit

Ngl I'd imagine people don't want to send it back cause they fully expect a trash can special or them to spit in it.

[-]

ThatGuyFrom720@reddit

Far from the truth my friend. Unless you’re at some shithole diner in rural Arkansas. Then perhaps.

[-]

gsfgf@reddit

Rural diners slap and take hospitality incredibly seriously. They for damn sure want to get your order right.

[-]

BoardsofCanada3@reddit

I don't realistically believe it either but a busy kitchen with someone returning something cause it's not perfect, getting frustrated... I wouldn't return food, cause of the implication.

[-]

ThatGuyFrom720@reddit

The implication that 10 grown men would circle jerk into your burger? Lmao. You’re good bud. I’m just stating my experience. I don’t want people to eat something that was way over or undercooked. I’m just one guy on the internet haha.

[-]

MrBeverly@reddit

I respect the mindset of this, but some people just aren't that fussy and once the food is out, they're don't want to feel like the rest of the table is waiting on them while they get their food remade

[-]

lilacs_and_marigolds@reddit

You can get your food spat on also.

[-]

Savings_Ad384@reddit

Yeah if you’re a dick about it- but come on if I’m paying $30 for a steak it’s gotta come out how I want it

[-]

IveChangedDontBanMe@reddit

Not when the staff are underpaid, overworked, and treated like shit. Working in a kitchen can be hard. I don’t ever risk sending shit back unless it’s a health concern. You do you but I’d rather not eat someone’s pubes.

[-]

TySly5v@reddit

If you're not willing to eat a pube here and there, just stay home

[-]

I_might_be_weasel@reddit

Food quality aside, for $30 I'd better be getting a lot more food than that. That picture has "Two entrees for $20 special" energy.

[-]

brohemien-rhapsody@reddit

That’s basically what this is. I think it’s like 12.99 with a second side

[-]

BKlounge93@reddit

I’m really not sure that’s as big a thing as people think. Most servers/kitchen staff aren’t willing to risk their job for one loogie.

[-]

potliquorz@reddit

It happens but it's not common. People that say it never happens anywhere and the other ones that act like it's every place they go, two sides of a wrong coin.

[-]

potliquorz@reddit

You can but if they actually screwed up TR is pretty good about fixing it without attidude.
It's not IHOP.

[-]

benson-and-stapler@reddit

Fuck that I'll eat spit food for tx roadhouse prices. for fucking any price, I'm too poor to care about not being a burden lol

[-]

pretty-late-machine@reddit

I've worked with some nasty and vengeful motherfuckers and have never seen that. No one wants to make a customer sick or cause them actual physical pain, besides a psychopath, and I frankly don't think a psychopath would last long in that profession. Server vengeance is just expert-level pettiness.

[-]

youtocin@reddit

Imagine going to jail for food tampering over having to do your job with a modicum of quality.

[-]

CoconutxKitten@reddit

Who is spitting on someone’s food for sending it back if it’s wrong? As long as you aren’t rude, I’ve never had an issue

[-]

mothzilla@reddit

You were well done.

[-]

Tomj_Oad@reddit

7 fries and a steak the size of a doorknob?

How much did you pay?

[-]

SllepsCigam@reddit (OP)

They wanted to charge me $20 something bucks for this lovely plate

Onion smothered Dallas Filet with mashed, vegetable medley, rolls, and a blue drink pls and thank you

I usually get the BBQ chicken sandwich.

The steakhouse filet salad is pretty fire

[-]

That's not worth it by the oz

[-]

SaltBrother2914@reddit

Why is op acting like this is a normal portion and not a kids portion for some weird reason? Did you need to be a shrinflation victim by any means necessary? lol wtf

[-]

SllepsCigam@reddit (OP)

https://imgur.com/a/ZIAUOon

[-]

SllepsCigam@reddit (OP)

I absolutely don't think this is a normal portion whatsoever lol.

I got shafted and they replaced my meal with a kids meal or something and just posted because it's funny...what makes you think I'm trying to make myself a victim 😂

[-]

SaltBrother2914@reddit

Because you conveniently left out that it was a kids meal and tried to pretend that was a normal adult serving for 20+ dollars.

[-]

SllepsCigam@reddit (OP)

Brother I don't have kids and I simply went to lunch with my wife and ordered a steak with fries and a Caesar salad. This is what they gave me and they even forgot our appetizer it's nothing more than shitty service at a new TRs.

You're really reaching here but whatever have a good day lol

[-]

overabbreviator@reddit

One of the more edible posts on this sub.

[-]

Princess_Slagathor@reddit

You choose your steak weight.

And like mine, they chose to make ten of my fourteen ounces fat, and the rest salt.

[-]

IndependentMacaroon@reddit

I'd devour that

[-]

Cel_Drow@reddit

I don’t think I’ve ever received such an embarrassment at Texas Roadhouse.

[-]

Insanely_Mclean@reddit

The last time I went to a Texas Roadhouse, we waited over an hour to be seated, and then they served me a raw steak. No, they didn't have me cut it in front of them.

[-]

TheBracketry@reddit

Say what you will about Texas, but no restaurant in Texas would dare serve that.

[-]

JizzMaxwell@reddit

Not even a sprig of parsley on the plate for presentation.

[-]

DroidLord@reddit

What is this? A meal for ants?

[-]

parrmorgan@reddit

I'd be stoked with it if it was an appetizer or something. If that's the entree, I'd be pissed.

[-]

gsfgf@reddit

Reminds me of when we did Man Brunch for a buddy's birthday. The main course was dry aged steak from a high end butcher. The appetizer was regular steak a buddy had on hand. (The sides were bacon, potatoes, and scotch)

[-]

The_real_bandito@reddit

Someone doesn’t know how to cook steak.

[-]

Fun_Western164@reddit

We went to TR a couple weeks ago for my kids birthday because he loves it and it wasn't much better, plus kid rock and maga music blasting. 🤮

[-]

WiscoBrewDude@reddit

I used to work at a convenience store across the street from a TR, and they had a weekly standing order with us of 10 crates of milk. When the person would come pick the milk up, he would also bring us 2 boxes of fresh rolls and butter.

[-]

freakmeout123@reddit

what’s that

[-]

LatterParty182@reddit

I want that

[-]

Wild-End-3191@reddit

Fake. TR would never

[-]

Goatboy307@reddit

Yeah, I agree. Have gone to multiple Texas Roadhouses and they all have been pretty good and consistent with their food portions and quality

[-]

Huge-Description6899@reddit

TR is atleast very good every single time. I wouldnt be surprised if it is, but everyone fucks up sometimes so w.e.

[-]

TheIdeaArchitect@reddit

Is this the kids meal?

[-]

Loggersalienplants@reddit

Yet people will stand in line over 2 hours nightly for this. People are weirdly obsessed with TR. Support your local business, fuck TR and their management.

[-]

MayoBenz@reddit

This feels like outback propaganda. or just your roadhouse sucks lol. Every time i go with my girl they give us excessive amounts of food and they also ask you to cut the steak in front of them to make sure it’s cooked how you like it

[-]

PrizeTime2595@reddit

I wanna take this chance to say thank you to everyone who receives shitty orders. Because of you sucking up all the bad juju, I've never once had a complaint worthy problem with my food.

[-]

Sweaty_Marzipan4274@reddit

It's like places don't even want you to come back anymore. Thank gosh I started cooking with MSG at home, don't even miss this garbage.

[-]

Fragrant_Ganache_108@reddit

Looks like a kids size

[-]

dreamibunni@reddit

:/ that's not an actual roadhouse meal.

[-]

Johnny_ac3s@reddit

Is this a steak for ants?!

[-]

pieman7414@reddit

When you get the smallest sirloin and aren't too careful about your sides, it always looks a little depressing. Usually tastes good though

[-]

[-]

Sortanotperfect@reddit

Is that an appetizer?

[-]

mearbearcate@reddit

Aw hell nah

[-]

dangerrnoodle@reddit

Post this in their social media. That’s blast worthy.

[-]

Safe_Buy6637@reddit

this is the kids steak meal with fries instead of baked potato, costing $7.99 or $11.99 for the larger one. It's on the kids plate as well. Just farming up votes lol

[-]

SllepsCigam@reddit (OP)

Lmao that actually makes sense that's probably what they ended up giving me instead of what I ordered 😂

[-]

karlnarcs99@reddit

That's also probably why it was overcooked, kid's meals at Texas Roadhouse are required to be well done

[-]

Withabaseballbattt@reddit

My 9 year old kids the Andy’s Steak medium rare every time so this is bullshit

[-]

FewReturn2sunlitLand@reddit

What did you order? How many ounces is that supposed to be?

[-]

GG_Midori_13@reddit

This. My family went to one a couple of weeks ago and my husband ordered something similar; his plate had way more than this. This is definitely the child’s plate of steak and fries. At best, they made a mistake with OPs food. At worst, it’s karma farming lol.
