They didn’t expect this – Single photo goes viral as family is denied booth at restaurant

A family was denied the booth at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant although it wasn’t taken at the moment they entered the place. When they walked passed the booth and asked to be seated there, the server said it had already been reserved for someone special.

They weren’t happy with the response as they wanted more comfortable seats rather than the set of hard chairs the server gave them so they tried to convince her to give them booth, but the response was the same.

Since they couldn’t have the booth, they asked to be seated next to it because they wanted to see who the VIP guests would be.

It didn’t take long before the family realized that the booth was reserved for five police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. Wanting to honor the, the restaurant placed five plates on the table with a sign that read, “We remember and honor the five slain police officers, Sergeant Michael J. Smith, Officer Michael Krol, Officer Patrick Zamarripa, Senior Corporal Lorne Ahrens, and Mr. Brent Thompson, who worked for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit PoIice Department, that the Texas Roadhouse restaurant reserved a table for. We thank you for your service. May you rest in peace.” Along the note, there was an American flag.

The family and the rest of the customers were deeply touched by the Texas Roadhouse’s gesture.

Having been killed while protecting the residents of Dallas, the restaurant wanted everyone who walked inside their place that night to know that they stand with police officers.

People started taking photos of the table reserved for the hero officers who had gone above and beyond their duties and lost their lives. They even started tagging the restaurant and recommending others to visit it.

This isn’t the first time Texas Roadhouse to honor fallen officers in this manner.

When 13 American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, a veteran from Port St. Lucie, Florida, reserved a table with 13 empty seats. Touched by the tribute, the restaurant decided to reserve the same time for the next 13 days.

What an honor!
