Oklahoma Couple Find Razor Blade in Their Mashed Potatoes at LongHorn Steakhouse — “That Lawsuit Gonna Be Crazy”
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — A dinner date at LongHorn Steakhouse turned into a viral nightmare for one Oklahoma couple after they discovered what looked like a razor blade buried in their mashed potatoes — a shocking find that has left social media users horrified and demanding answers.
The now-viral video, shared by TikTok user @shotscar_is_back, shows the couple halfway through their meal when the woman suddenly pulls a thin, sharp metal object from her plate using her fork.
“I thought she was joking,” the man says off-camera as he pans over to show the object covered in potatoes. “But nope — that’s a piece of metal.”
The clip, which has already surpassed 74,000 views, shows the couple calmly inspecting the item — but viewers were anything but calm.
“That Lawsuit Gonna Be Crazy”
The TikTok’s comment section exploded with users expressing shock and disbelief.
@shotscar_is_back welp, system isnt kewling! #shotscar_is_back #kewling #longhornsteakhouse #tulsafood #foodreview
“That lawsuit gonna be crazy,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “You better own that LongHorn now.”
While the couple didn’t mention any immediate legal action, they did report the incident to the restaurant manager right away.
Restaurant’s Response
The video cuts to the man outside the restaurant, holding two $25 LongHorn Steakhouse gift cards and the manager’s business card.
He says the manager was apologetic and assured them the restaurant would “cover any food poisoning issues” that might arise from the incident. It’s unclear whether the couple still had to pay for their meal, though in similar situations, restaurants often comp comp meals to mitigate liability.
“They said they’d take care of it,” the man explains. “I’m just glad no one got hurt.”
How Could It Happen?
While LongHorn Steakhouse has not publicly addressed the viral post, incidents involving foreign objects in restaurant food are more common than diners might expect.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), restaurants are required to follow strict food safety protocols to prevent contamination by non-edible materials — from glass and metal fragments to plastic and wire.
Experts say the razor-like object could have come from kitchen tools or cleaning equipment that broke during prep work and accidentally ended up on the plate.
“It Could Have Been So Much Worse”
Fortunately, the couple escaped the ordeal uninjured — but many online users pointed out how dangerous it could have been if a child or elderly diner had taken the same bite.
“Imagine if that was your kid’s plate,” one user commented. “I’d be in jail before the cops even showed up.”
Others urged the couple to contact the corporate office or health department to ensure the issue is investigated.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t the first time a LongHorn customer has shared a disturbing dining experience online. Over the past few years, multiple TikTok users have claimed to find foreign materials or undercooked food in their meals, though the company has consistently defended its commitment to safety and quality.
Still, the Oklahoma couple’s calm reaction — compared to the internet’s fury — may have helped defuse what could have been a much more explosive confrontation.
“Things happen, but a razor blade?” one commenter wrote. “That’s next-level.”
