Former texas roadhouse employee at the stroudsburg location here, I wanted to warn the locals in the area of the disgusting nature of this restaurant. Although, it's already mentioned often in here, here is your confirmation to not eat at this location. I've attached some photos below, as you can see we had mice droppings all over in the host stand. Many employees have also spotted mice running out of the kitchen through the back door. As you can also see in some photos, this location always had roaches since 2023 when I started working there up until the day I left (about two weeks ago). In two pictures, you will also see meat on a grill. This meat was part of an entire shark (head, tail, fin, body, everything included) that an employee brought in and cooked on the same grill used for steaks and chicken two hours before our restaurant closed, then we continued to serve steak and chicken from the same grill we just cooked an entire cut up shark on. As you know, seafood is never cooked around the chicken and steak in restaurants for health hazard reasons. Apart from the rodents and bugs, this location has had multiple issues for NOT paying employees. This has happened to so many people including me, I was refused my pay for over 3 months. Other employees were never paid for starting out new positions or for training, etc. The former owner of this location was just fired a week ago due to multiple female employees coming forward about him trying to sexually touch/message them, apparently even as minors, and was known for always touching female employees (including me) in ways you should not be touching them, in sexual matters. Although he was fired, he has been transferred to a different texas roadhouse location which invalidates what these women in this workplace have come forward against. Lastly, Denise Ferrara, the service manager of this texas roadhouse location is a horrible manager to work under. For years, I have watched her bully employees, including myself. I have watched her refuse to pay employees. I've watched her yell at employees constantly on the floor and in the back for her own mistakes, she has even been reported multiple times for doing this by guests and other employees. She is never anywhere to be found when guests need a manager, resulting in servers and hosts being yelled at by guests. She is verbally abusive in the work place and always says personal insults to employees, including name calling, yelling, berating, and harassment when you don't acknowledge her breakdowns.
I wanted to warn the locals of what food you are really eating, and what kind of an environment it is coming from. As someone who has dedicated years to this place, as well as always picked up slack and was there whenever they needed someone for anything, I can confidently say this place needs a big change and it won't happen with the management they have now. For your safety, I would not eat here or even send your kids to work here. They will tell you the inspector came in and passed them, however, the very next day employees were seeing mice and still mice droppings. The place is a joke. read more
