A Texas Roadhouse diner recently sent back a steak, claiming it was “disgusting and raw,” only for servers to notice it was actually cooked well-done.
TikTok creator @_lolkota shared a video showing the plate returned to the kitchen. An employee held the steak and laughed, saying, “She said this is disgusting and raw,” even though the steak appeared fully cooked. The clip has since gone viral with over 2.2 million views and nearly 188,000 likes.
Experts say steak doneness is best judged by color and texture. Pink or red meat indicates rare, while browner shades show it’s well-cooked. A handy tip from Food 52 suggests comparing steak firmness to parts of your face: cheeks for medium-rare, chin for medium, and forehead for medium-well.
Many viewers reacted humorously, noting the steak looked overcooked rather than raw. Comments included, “That’s like arguably overcooked for most,” and “If that’s raw I may as well just be eating a live cow.”
The situation highlights how personal preferences and misperceptions can turn a perfectly cooked steak into a viral kitchen moment.
