Usually, a steak is accompanied by a baked potato or even some French fries.

At this Japanese steakhouse in Florida, these customers' steaks came with a side of methamphetamine.


Earlier this month, Nikko Japanese Steakhouse in Santa Rosa County, Florida closed its doors after seven customers allegedly tested positive for meth after dining at one of the restaurant's hibachi tables.

According to USA TODAY, an investigation from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office was closed without making an arrest, as authorities could not find sufficient evidence into how the customers were poisoned.

A Facebook post from the restaurant read, "After more than ten years of serving the Pace community, we have decided to close Nikko Japanese Steakhouse.  It was determined by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's office that there was nothing linking the restaurant to the accusations, and after a clear survey by the health department, we re-open our doors. We are so thankful to our regulars who came back to support us, unfortunately it just wasn't enough to keep the doors open."
