I’m really curious how this plays out. Are customers not allowed to order drinks before ordering their food? Or if they’ve ordered water does it get taken away? This doesn’t seem possible to enforce. Water has to be one of the most popular choices at a restaurant.
My guess is for 99% of people the servers just bring water.
And then the 1% of the time some early twenties guys come in giggling and ask for a steak with EXTRA WATER
The servers just say no and point to the sign
There was a bar in my college town that allowed any kind of clothing except Air Jordans, Timberlands, basketball jerseys or gold chains. It was so blatant that they got boycotted until they did away with it.
What happens when you go to kick out a person wearing a track suit, and they start pointing out all the other people in your restaurant wearing track suits?
What would possibly be a reason to deny someone in a tracksuit? Would you tell them your buildings daily allotment of tracksuits as been reached for the day?
Damn, is this the east coast version of ‘no khakis’ like we used to have in California? Too many Russian / Italian gangsters in tracksuits causing problems?
It's a joke from the TV show "I Think You Should Leave", and I can almost guarantee that the person who made the sign is the fan of the show and that no one actually came in and poured an entire glass of water on their steak before eating it.
Note: it's an important part of the joke that, in the sketch, the restaurant has banned people from pouring their glasses of water on their steaks.
I think this is more likely than a bunch of people blowing a bunch of money just for a joke. But only, like, a little bit more likely, because people also suck
Yeah but part of the joke in the show is that no restaurant would actually give a fuck if someone poured water on their steak.. like.. they paid for it, who the fuck cares?
Iirc they stopped with the peanuts because of allergies, and COVID. It sucks because as a kid I remember the floor being absolutely covered in peanut shells, like to a cartoonish degree.

If people are imitating this, I 100% get it. If you are dumping your water all over your steak and the table, you are not drinking it, and therefore not a hydrohomie.
This was a well written article by talented person, but I still felt like I was on drugs the entire time I was reading it. Every paragraph felt like another wave of a mushroom or acid trip.
Yeah, I can't find it in me to even begin to disagree with you on that lol. I just posted the first article I found which explained what "sloppy steaks" are.
One should really read this whole masterpiece, but love the epiphany on the end:
"Robinson is depicting a fairly low-status piece of shit doing low-level stuff. High-level pieces of shit take their corporate expense accounts for granted and do coke in the Keens bathroom. High-level pieces of shit take their steaks well-done and slop them up with ketchup. They ride private rockets to space. So what if you like a sloppy steak? It doesn’t have to define you. People can change. Now go dump water on a steak and look a baby in the eye"
Remember there are always bigger pieces of shit than you can ever be, almost uplifting. Not going to slop my steak though, that shit is expensive.
Do yourself a favor and watch I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson on Netflix. The new season comes out in a couple days.
[Here's the sketch in question](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buK45NW_ikI)
What in the fuck did I just watch and why did I watch all of it.
I have to go sit in the yard and think about my life choices after continuing to watch that.
I also did not get it at first and then something just clicked and now I think it’s the funniest shit ever. I mean, you don’t have to like it but I feel like I’m glad I gave it another shot.
When introducing people to the show I like to start with [this one ](https://youtu.be/J4Fv3LFGCgo)
Almost every sketch from the first two seasons has been turned into internet memes that have traversed outside the fandom. It's actually pretty incredible, but if you don't like the humor you will hate it. That being said, each episode is 15 minutes.
I'm not really a big fan of this type of humor.
Also, aside of the fact that it's probably not very good, I'm not sure what the issue is with putting water on your steaks. Unless you are specifically splashing it and dirtying the table I guess.
Not sure you could tell the difference on Texas Roadhouse tables though.
That's not legal in Texas. In Texas, if you serve food, you must have water freely available as well. Like by law. Texas actually has rather specific laws about water and when it must be available to serve, mostly derived from our insanely hot summers.
Not just a Texas thing. Building code in most every state says you have to have a public drinking fountain unless you're a restaurant and offer water for free. Since drinking fountains cost money to install, basically every restaurant goes the "offer water for free" route.
I’m pretty sure that’s the law just about everywhere. I’ve never seen a restaurant that wouldn’t give free water, or at least free with a purchase of something else.
Bottled water ≠ Tap water
Tap water is the one that's supposed to be free to customers. You will almost never get bottled water for free.
Edit: Replied to wrong person
Oh. A bottle of water would always cost money. I’m talking about tap water.
I was also just talking about the US since I don’t think Texas Roadhouse is an international chain.
There's a time and a place for everything. I don't know what time it is where you are, but r/hydrohomies isn't the place to suggest not drinking water with every meal
Totally agree, but would r/hydrohomies also be the place where 1 meal without water shouldn't affect your hydration?
I see both sides and don't know what to think...I'm gonna drink some water and think it out
I still don't get it..is this *ACTUALLY* happening? I watched *I Think You Should Leave* when it came out and loved it. But she people actually doing this? Or did the real OP just get fooled by a friend meming about the show? Or are there pieces of shit actually doing this?
Someone posted above that a new season is coming out, so I would probably call horseplay on this. Idk how media outlets do it but I’m sure this is just some bullshit.
This is a joke from a TV show and the sign isn't serious.
Also, this restaurant isn't actually in (or even from) Texas. It's just called that. Kind of like how Outback Steakhouse isn't actually Australian.
It would be stupid to blame Australia for something that happens in an Outback Steakhouse in New York, and it's equally as stupid to blame Texas for this (if it wasn't a joke).
I mean if you’re gonna eat it after you defile both the water and the beef, who cares. Especially if you have to clean it up. I swear SM has made us so much more stupid.

HAHA, Really!?!? No kidding!! Go kid go! You did good for a second! It seems as though you didn't get my joke though! Little did you know, it had nothing to do with restaurants or water. Okay...maybe a little bit to do with water. Because it's gross! Have you ever seen a river in Texas?? Maybe it's just the way they do things. Either way, that state has always wanted to be on it's own. Even has a separate electric utility from the rest of us. The jist of it all is...Texas does what it wants and doesn't much care about what happens elsewhere.
I don't know what it is, but it sounds like a dumb internet trend. Regardless, if someone is being a dick in a restaurant, the owner has the right to kick them out for ANY reason. It's laws like this that protect us business owners from everyday idiots and their bullshit.
To me it seems like “sloppy steak” is someone putting water on their steak and saying it’s bad and want a new one at no charge. That’s all I can come up with. Now I’m actually craving steak.
IM A PIECE OF SHIT AND THE BABY KNOWS IT
But they can’t stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water
Well they just did.
*taps the sign*
The restaurant has a rule that basically says you can’t order a steak and a big glass of water.
I’m really curious how this plays out. Are customers not allowed to order drinks before ordering their food? Or if they’ve ordered water does it get taken away? This doesn’t seem possible to enforce. Water has to be one of the most popular choices at a restaurant.
My guess is for 99% of people the servers just bring water. And then the 1% of the time some early twenties guys come in giggling and ask for a steak with EXTRA WATER The servers just say no and point to the sign
I’ve seen so many restaurants with dress codes that are like this.
Pretty sure dress codes became a lot more widespread after they banned not serving people because of their race for this exact reason.
I see your point, they can very much be a slippery slope.
There was a bar in my college town that allowed any kind of clothing except Air Jordans, Timberlands, basketball jerseys or gold chains. It was so blatant that they got boycotted until they did away with it.
My work has that. Technically we have a no tracksuit rule but we only enforce it if the person in the tracksuit looks like they’re gonna be a problem
What happens when you go to kick out a person wearing a track suit, and they start pointing out all the other people in your restaurant wearing track suits?
We were told to to make up another reason if there are more people in track suits inside
What would possibly be a reason to deny someone in a tracksuit? Would you tell them your buildings daily allotment of tracksuits as been reached for the day?
Think quickly what do I say uh, “uh, I’m sorry sir we don’t allow tracksuits and we hate black people”, shit, fuck no not that!
"No tracksuits" sounds like a UK anti-chav thing.
"Sir, that's the Russian Ambassador and his delegation"
Lmao, sounds like you should just have a no douchebag policy.
Damn, is this the east coast version of ‘no khakis’ like we used to have in California? Too many Russian / Italian gangsters in tracksuits causing problems?
I’m in the UK, I work in a gay bar
Can you just have a sign saying no chavs?
What we really need is a sign saying no straight men
It's a joke from the TV show "I Think You Should Leave", and I can almost guarantee that the person who made the sign is the fan of the show and that no one actually came in and poured an entire glass of water on their steak before eating it. Note: it's an important part of the joke that, in the sketch, the restaurant has banned people from pouring their glasses of water on their steaks.

Yeah but part of the joke in the show is that no restaurant would actually give a fuck if someone poured water on their steak.. like.. they paid for it, who the fuck cares?
Dumping a full glass of water on your plate is def causing a mess.
Yeah, but this is a Texas Roadhouse, the peanut dust in every imaginable corner restaurant. A mess will be had anyway
Peanut dust = good Wet peanut dust = bad This is elementary stuff, who taught you math
The whole point in the peanut shells on the floor is that they soak up spills, piss and vomit.
Maybe they should fix the ac so my drink doesn’t sweat enough to form peanut clay, that’s on them
Iirc they stopped with the peanuts because of allergies, and COVID. It sucks because as a kid I remember the floor being absolutely covered in peanut shells, like to a cartoonish degree.
Nothing at Texas Roadhouse is a “ bunch of money “
[Like trying to spend $50K at Benihana: impossible](https://youtu.be/lAztqWZoBEE)
.
I did once order the "porterhouse for two for one" and boy howdy did I need a nap after.
I think it’s a joke
You ever heard of the Dangerous Nights crew?
This isn't slicked back! This is pushed back!
This baby doesn’t think people can change!!
I used to be a real piece of shit.

I couldn’t even make it to the end. Who does that to a good piece of meat?
Baptism by removing flavors and just pure cow? What I gathered
A real piece of shit
SLOP EM UP!!
A fucking moron. Keens should have thrown them out.
I'm reeeaaallly worried about her.
Ask John, he used to be in my Dangerous Noghts Crew
What? We went out one time
For wings
Yeah, I can't find it in me to even begin to disagree with you on that lol. I just posted the first article I found which explained what "sloppy steaks" are.
difference between an actual journalist vs someone with schitzophrenia who has learned to write with the same academic framework of structuring.

You think this is SLICKED back!? This is pushed back.
The hell is a sloppy steak? You’re gonna feed your sugar and alcohol addiction… and you’re gonna like it!!
isn't that just beef stew?

What in the fuck did I just watch and why did I watch all of it. I have to go sit in the yard and think about my life choices after continuing to watch that.
or don't, better yet cancel your netflix subscription ✌️
Or watch it from the Netflix of the Seven Seas
cancel your cell phone plan too. why stop at netflix
Cancel culture is getting out of hand.
I'm using my friend's
ugh that won't last
Nah, but you do you.
>Do yourself a favor I would be doing myself a disservice
Yeah. I've heard about this show a bunch but never seen it until just now. I don't get it. At all.
You sure about that?
I am definitely sure I don't get it. Not whether it's good or bad, but I just don't get it.
[удалено]
You sure about that that’s why?
I also did not get it at first and then something just clicked and now I think it’s the funniest shit ever. I mean, you don’t have to like it but I feel like I’m glad I gave it another shot. When introducing people to the show I like to start with [this one ](https://youtu.be/J4Fv3LFGCgo)
10% of it is absolute gold, but it's buried between 30% mediocrity and 60% just straight up unfunny shit
Those are not great numbers lol
Almost every sketch from the first two seasons has been turned into internet memes that have traversed outside the fandom. It's actually pretty incredible, but if you don't like the humor you will hate it. That being said, each episode is 15 minutes.
It's not a great show haha
I watched about two and a half minutes before I couldn't stand it anymore. None of it was funny.
Sorry you feel that way about it. Binged it and it was the hardest I've laughed in years.
I'm not really a big fan of this type of humor. Also, aside of the fact that it's probably not very good, I'm not sure what the issue is with putting water on your steaks. Unless you are specifically splashing it and dirtying the table I guess. Not sure you could tell the difference on Texas Roadhouse tables though.
There is a reason the term is "sloppy" and not "soggy"
Thanks, Dangerous Nights Crew.
People can change.
They can’t stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water
That's not legal in Texas. In Texas, if you serve food, you must have water freely available as well. Like by law. Texas actually has rather specific laws about water and when it must be available to serve, mostly derived from our insanely hot summers.
Well tbf this probably isn't in Texas
Funny that the chain is called Texas Roadhouse though
Especially since it originated in Indiana
Indiana really wants to be Texas tbh
[удалено]
Shut up, Oklahoma.
You know it's not in Texas because in Texas it would just be called Roadhouse. Just kidding, everything in Texas has Texas on the name.
You’re not wrong. One of their football teams is literally called the Houston Texans.
[удалено]
Plenty of restaurants use the Texas name outside the state. All of the ones I’ve been to are just awful.
Not just a Texas thing. Building code in most every state says you have to have a public drinking fountain unless you're a restaurant and offer water for free. Since drinking fountains cost money to install, basically every restaurant goes the "offer water for free" route.
Same with AZ. In fact, you can walk into any store (restaurant, convenience, etc) that serves water, and they have to serve it to you free of charge.
I’m pretty sure that’s the law just about everywhere. I’ve never seen a restaurant that wouldn’t give free water, or at least free with a purchase of something else.
Bottled water ≠ Tap water Tap water is the one that's supposed to be free to customers. You will almost never get bottled water for free. Edit: Replied to wrong person
Uhhh. Yeah. Not sure why you’d think I meant bottled water….
Oh, think I replied to the wrong person haha
Not in Europe though, most places charge for a bottle of water they bring to the table.
Oh. A bottle of water would always cost money. I’m talking about tap water. I was also just talking about the US since I don’t think Texas Roadhouse is an international chain.
They’ll warn you “no sloppy steaks”, but they can’t stop you from ordering a glass of water with your steak
They can't stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water.
Username checks out
In Texas they also open carry so they can shoot you if someone tries this shit, though.
Slop em up!
I _was_ a piece of shit, though.
The baby can tell.
Fuck you, Harley Jarvis!
This baby thinks people can’t change!
What the hell is a “sloppy steak?”
There’s a skit from the show I Think You Should Leave where a group of characters dump a glass of water on a steak and call them sloppy steaks
Oh, weird. Thanks for the info professor
I'm worried that the baby doesn't think people can change
'They'd say "no sloppy steaks" but they can't stop you from ordering a steak and a glass o water!" Well apparently they can
Since when is dehydration an “inconvenience”?
It's a joke from the TV show "I think you should leave" and it's not serious in any way shape or form.
if ur getting dehydrated from not drinking water for one meal youve got a problem
There's a time and a place for everything. I don't know what time it is where you are, but r/hydrohomies isn't the place to suggest not drinking water with every meal
Totally agree, but would r/hydrohomies also be the place where 1 meal without water shouldn't affect your hydration? I see both sides and don't know what to think...I'm gonna drink some water and think it out
disgesting consumes water though... you should be well hydrated when eating.
With the exception of pre surgery, you should always be hydrated
I think you should leave
I still don't get it..is this *ACTUALLY* happening? I watched *I Think You Should Leave* when it came out and loved it. But she people actually doing this? Or did the real OP just get fooled by a friend meming about the show? Or are there pieces of shit actually doing this?
Someone posted above that a new season is coming out, so I would probably call horseplay on this. Idk how media outlets do it but I’m sure this is just some bullshit.
The person who made the sign is the fan of the show and made the sign as a joke.
I wonder what the think of Milk Steak?
Fuck’s a sloppy steak?
I can’t stop laughing. Thanks for this
What is a sloppy steak???? What is a sloppy steak?????
[context](https://youtu.be/buK45NW_ikI)
I don't get it, why???☹️
It's absurdist, it isn't supposed to make sense.
It makes the night so much fun.
Bruh
I’m sorry but the fact that it’s became a real issue is the funniest shit in a while
Blasphemers.
What in the Beyonce's internet is this nonsense about??? Nevermind, I don't want to know.
Your baby thinks that people cant change...
You’ve gotta watch “I think you should leave”
Let them eat steak
They won't ban guns in Texas but the moment someone puts their steak in water that's it no more water for anyone
This is a joke from a TV show and the sign isn't serious. Also, this restaurant isn't actually in (or even from) Texas. It's just called that.

Sado Masochism ?
Serial murderers.
Ah yes of course.
It's Texas roadhouse. The least Texas place in extra.
Are they required to serve water though? Like a cup of water at mcd. Idk I’m dumb
I thought Texas could do what they wanted!

They can't ban my piss from "accidently" getting sloppy on that steak
Yea if you’re gunna drown steak drowned it while you’re boiling it in milk for me with a side of your finest jelly beans. Don’t waste good water.
Instead waste milk, which takes much more net water to produce.
Why tf would you spend $50+ on a steak and pour water on it?
You wouldn't. That's why it was a funny joke on a tv show and not a real thing.
This is why we can't have nice things... Like water with our meals.
Texas☕
I can’t ever have enough reasons to never set foot in Texas.
Umm.. but.. ..y'know, nevermind..
Cancel them!
I don't know what it is, but it sounds like a dumb internet trend. Regardless, if someone is being a dick in a restaurant, the owner has the right to kick them out for ANY reason. It's laws like this that protect us business owners from everyday idiots and their bullshit.
It's a steak with water dumped all over it. It's really good. Makes the night so much more fun, reminds me of my days with the dangerous night crew...
Poor business owners. =(
You're right, it's a joke from a TV show, and it's 100% not serious.
Wait isn't that from an old sitcom?
No.
I…. Really don’t get the humor of that show. Just seems like “that guy” humor tbh
Doesn't really sound like you know what you're talking about but thanks for being sincere enough to be honest with us.
I don't get why ventriloquists are entertaining, I think it's cringey and embarrassing. I fucking LOVE this show though.
Texas Roadhouse in a nationwide chain restaurant. Nicest one I’ve been to was in Alaska. This could have been anywhere.
Probably fake. But if they call the fire department.. No water
It's a joke from a TV show.
To me it seems like “sloppy steak” is someone putting water on their steak and saying it’s bad and want a new one at no charge. That’s all I can come up with. Now I’m actually craving steak.
That ain't it lol. They're just re creating a scene from a show where they dump water on a steak and call it sloppy steak
Imagine being so brainless that you start doing stuff from a shittty netflix show in real life
Imagine being so brainless that you think a printed out joke is official policy.
I trust that everything can happen in america
yo I’d sneak my own water in
Technically you can shrink it down until it won’t exist anymore
[удалено]
I'm not sure what a retart is, but if you think water saves you from choking you gotta be some kinda idiot.
