LongHorn Steakhouse faces scrutiny over viral kitchen hygiene videos

Viral videos recorded by an employee at a LongHorn Steakhouse in East Point, Georgia, appear to show cockroaches crawling across kitchen floors and food waste scattered throughout the workspace.

Employee Sean Headley stated he recorded the footage after his repeated concerns regarding the kitchen conditions and work environment were dismissed by management. Headley described the conditions as “inhumane” and noted that he felt compelled to share the videos on social media after receiving no response from corporate offices.

In a statement, LongHorn Steakhouse described the conditions shown as “unacceptable” and claimed they have been addressed. The company stated it is taking steps to ensure safety and has recently appointed new leadership at the restaurant to maintain its standards.
