Venison with your noodles? Coming right up!
Customers at a Wisconsin Noodles & Company didn't expect a surprise visitor in the form of a deer to disrupt their dining on Tuesday.
The wayward deer came charging through the window of the restaurant's Beloit location during lunch hours, leaving startled diners scrambling for safety.
Surveillance footage showed the young deer creating chaos as it darted down the seating area and headed for the order counter.
Many of the patrons who were getting the scare of their lives jumping onto table tops and running into restrooms appeared to be middle school students in Halloween costumes dressed as witches and superheroes.
This surprise guest showed up stag.
Another sequence showed a less chaotic view of the abandoned kitchen after the restaurant was emptied out.
The buck stopped here.
After taking a pause, the surprise intruder dashed out through the back exit door reportedly held open by an employee.
You can watch the footage here.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt during the wild visit, including the deer.
Some people commented on the diners' response to witnessing the wild intrusion.
Users continued sharing their thoughts.
Some users couldn't help but notice the guy in the white t-shirt who stood out from the rest during the mayhem.
Now, see here.
Noodles & Company spokesperson Stephanie Jerome said the location reopened after a deep clean, and even commemorated the occasion with a "2 Buck Mac & Cheese" special.
Well played, Noodles & Company. Well played.
