Texas Roadhouse has officially denied claims that its dining room light bulbs contain hidden cameras. The popular steakhouse chain stepped in to clarify the actual purpose of those distinctive fixtures after a conspiracy theory went viral online. The buzz started with a now unavailable TikTok video from user Zander Marlow, which quickly got nearly half a million views.
Marlow’s video zoomed in on a lightbulb positioned over a table, highlighting a dark spot in its middle. He posted text over the video, saying, “Texas Roadhouse so good I bet y’all didn’t even know there’s a camera watching you eat.” This implied that the dark spot was a tiny lens pointed at unsuspecting diners.
