A dead rat was found in the basement of a New Rochelle restaurant by a hygiene inspector along with gnawed vegetables meant for customers.
Inspectors rate establishments out of five options, from zero - meaning 'urgent improvement necessary' - to five, meaning 'very good'.
Texas Roadhouse was given a zero in the inspection.
In the report, the inspector said: “At the time of my visit, gnawed vegetables and bags of flour, rats' dropping and a dead rat were found in the basement.”
The report, seen by News Shopper, also says cooked vegetable dishes were kept for up to two weeks before being served to customers.
The inspector said: “At the time of my visit you stated that the shelf life you apply to cooked vegetable dishes is two weeks.
“Prepared chilled food should be used within 72 hours of preparation.”
The restaurant made other mistakes.
The inspector said: “At the time of my visit you did not have a sanitiser, therefore you were unable to carry out adequate cleaning.”
Despite getting a zero for its hygiene inspection, Texas Roadhouse is a popular restaurant and has four stars on TripAdvisor.
More than half of reviewers gave it five stars, with one of the site's users Andygeake saying: “Never judge a book by its cover they say!
“BUT the BBQ they serve is some of the best I've ever tasted! I'm very fussy food, but this stuff is outstanding. A real eye opener and thoroughly recommended.”
Since the inspection, Westchester county has been working with the restaurant to improve its hygiene.
Councillor Kate Lymer, executive councillor for public protection and safety, said: “Food safety is highly important and these scores are very useful indicators for all concerned and readers may be interested to know that when a food business receives a low score, we follow up with these businesses and work with them to help them improve their hygiene and related standards.
“If businesses don’t take this seriously or don’t improve, then we will start enforcement action, with food safety notices being served and as a last resort, we will prosecute.”
The spokesperson said that they have improved their hygiene checks and that they have asked to be inspected again.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
