A popular Texas-themed dining chain is temporarily cutting back its offering of complimentary beverages, according to a report<\/a>. Folks who routinely visit Texas Roadhouse<\/a> may recall water being served to them without even requesting it. While not an option in San Antonio due to local restrictions, it is a common practice at U.S Texas Roadhouse locations outside of the city and state. However, the chain is ending that perk in several counties of at least one state for the time being.<\/p>\n

The Southwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board announced<\/a> on Tuesday, March 24, that several areas entered a Modified Phase III \u201cExtreme\u201d Water Shortage. Businesses and homeowners in at least seven counties are among those impacted by the order, which officials say is the result of ongoing drought conditions.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks, residents in the impacted counties must only water their areas during the time periods allotted by the agency. Additionally, restaurants are required to only serve water if guests explicitly ask for it. This is a year-round restriction<\/a> in the Alamo City, but it might be a shock to those who still enjoy the benefit.\u00a0The rule went into effect on Friday, April 3, and will remain active through Wednesday, July 1, according to the Southwest Florida Water Management District.<\/p>\n

Texas Roadhouse, which serves American cuisine, has more than 650 locations globally, including in South Korea<\/a>. Data company ScrapeHero<\/a> cites that Florida is the state home to the second-most restaurants (49), topped only by the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n
