A TikTok video from a diner in Alabama shows what appears to be an undercooked sandwich from a LongHorn Steakhouse. The video, posted by a user named Jocelyn, has drawn attention for the state of the food and the diner’s reaction. The clip begins with a close-up of the meal and later shows the restaurant’s exterior.
The video’s caption reads, “Ewwww it was raw 🤢🤢#alabama #foodtiktok #disgusting #omggggg #birminghamalabama.” This caption suggests the diner found the food quality disgusting and links the experience to locations in Alabama. The video has sparked discussion among viewers, including some who claim to work at the same restaurant.
In the first part of the video, the camera focuses on a white oval plate. On the plate is a partially eaten sandwich on a brioche-style bun, a side of french fries, and a small black ramekin of sauce. The sandwich has been bitten into, revealing layers of meat, cheese, and what appears to be bacon. A significant portion of the meat, especially in the center, looks pale pink and raw.
Diner questions restaurant location after showing undercooked food
The video then transitions to an exterior shot of a LongHorn Steakhouse building. The single-story, light brown building has the “LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE” logo in white lettering. A parking lot with several cars and a line of trees are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
As the camera shows the restaurant, a voice in the video says, “Longhorn Steakhouse in Alabaster, are you serious?” The tone of the comment appears to express surprise or disbelief, possibly connecting the location to the earlier scene of the undercooked food. The video does not show any staff or management from the restaurant responding to the sandwich.
The video’s public caption and the visible food are the primary sources for this report. The identity of the off-screen narrator is not confirmed beyond the TikTok handle. The video shows the meal and the restaurant but does not document any interaction with restaurant employees about the sandwich.
Comments section shows mixed reactions from viewers
The video’s comment section includes reactions from other users. Some comments come from people who claim to work at LongHorn Steakhouse, offering differing perspectives. One user wrote, “as a longhorn server, i would be petrified if my table showed me a straight raw burger 😭.”
Another comment from a purported employee stated, “ay i work at the very same one and I can tell you that has never happend to anyone in the many months ive worked here and our service is excellent.” This comment directly contradicts the video’s implication about the food at that specific location. This defense of the restaurant’s standards contrasts with other food safety concerns raised by customers elsewhere, such as when a Delta Sky Club coffee station was found with milk jugs sitting at room temperature.
Other viewers shared their own experiences or opinions. One comment reads, “Why does it always smell like dirty carpet in that location?😳” Another user suggested an alternative order, writing, “Bye bc I be f–king ts up everytime in alabaster 😭 you need to get the chicken bites and spinach dip.”
The profanity in that comment has been censored. Additional comments included reactions like, “Oh heck nah. That’s gross 😭😭😭😭,” and a note from a nearby resident: “I haven’t been to longhorn in years but this is right down the road from me in Helena.” The comments show a range of responses, from concern and disgust to defense of the restaurant’s service.
The video by Jocelyn has become a point of discussion for food quality and restaurant experiences in the area. It presents one diner’s claim about a meal, supported by visual evidence of the sandwich and a statement from the diner. The comment section adds context from other individuals, including those who claim direct knowledge of the restaurant’s operations.
