LongHorn responds to viral roach video at one of its restaurants

LongHorn Steakhouse is responding after a video showing cockroaches crawling around a Georgia location went viral.

Sean Headley, a now former employee, recorded and posted the video to social media, which showed overflowing trash cans, dirty floors and even cockroaches crawling around the kitchen as well as servers eating food off of plates before they were served to guests.

Headley recorded the video on Aug. 19, he told local news station WSB-TV. He no longer works at the restaurant and said he recorded the video on his last day there.

"Really, it was the work environment and the conditions that we were working in," Headley said to another local news outlet, FOX 5 Atlanta. "There were a lot of inhumane conditions."

Headley requested basic tools and raised health-hazard concerns with LongHorn's corporate offices, but told the news outlet he believes they dismissed his requests.

The restaurant is in East Point, Georgia, about seven miles southwest of Atlanta.

In a statement emailed to USA TODAY, a LongHorn representative stated that the issues recorded in Headley's video were addressed and that it has placed new leadership in the restaurant after the video went viral.

USA TODAY attempted to reach out to Headley.
