'Running Out On A Tab': Viral TikTok Features Atlanta Restaurant

VIRGINIA HIGHLAND, GA — An Atlanta restaurant and bar went viral this month after a TikTok influencer went online to express her feelings about being stuck with a bill that featured four rounds of appetizers she consumed.

The woman, whose TikTok handle is @equanaaa, recently visited Fontaine's Oyster House in Atlanta's Virginia Highland neighborhood to have drinks with a date.

She is seen in the video slurping round after round of oysters as she deems them the best in town. Then, after the fourth round, she asks, "What's next?"

The woman is then seen partaking in a drink and eating a dish consisting of roasted red potatoes and two crab cakes.

To the woman's shock, her date - who ordered one drink - tells her he is going to the restroom and never returns to the table, leaving her to pay the bill. After she confronted him about the matter, he offered to CashApp her money for the drinks.

"Running out on a tab is crazyyy," she told him.

Since being posted on Oct. 11, the viral video has been shared more than 50,000 times and has received more than 26,000 comments, most of which seem to take the side of her date.

One person wrote, "He literally said can we meet for drinks then you proceeded to slurp down half the ocean 😂."

And someone else penned, "He has the best 'tell me about your worst date experience.'"

The video, being passed around X, formerly Twitter, has been viewed more than 28 million times.

As for Fontaine's, the restaurant manager told the Rolling Stones the woman being stuck with the tab "is nothing new."
