Report: Texas Roadhouse in Henrietta shuts down to deal with mice and cockroaches

HENRIETTA, N.Y. — The Monroe County Department of Public Health has shut down Texas Roadhouse in Henrietta while the restaurant deals with a “recent pest issue”, the restaurant chain confirmed on Wednesday.

A report from the department says inspectors found mouse droppings in multiple places and a dead mouse inside the panel of a soda machine in the kitchen. The report also says there were live cockroaches under and inside the dishwasher and dead cockroaches on top of the dishwasher and some other spots.

In a statement, Texas Roadhouse said it’s working diligently with pest control so they can reopen. Here is the full statement:

“We can confirm that after consulting with the Monroe County Health Department, our store located at 3150 W. Henrietta Rd in Rochester, NY was closed the evening of February 18. A recent pest issue, which is common in the county, especially during the winter months, has caused the closure. We are working diligently with our pest control company and the local Health Department to resolve so we can reopen as soon as possible. We take our record of sanitation and food safety seriously and are taking every step to address with comprehensive sanitation measures.”
