I just did a quick search. Lone Star no longer allows peanut shells to be thrown on the floor but they do still serve them in buckets.

Five Guys (at least, the ones by us) have a sign up on the door specifically stating that due to open containers of peanuts in the establishment that any peanut allergic person should not enter.
I will say that at OUR Five Guys ... I've *NEVER EVER* seen peanut shells (or trash for that matter) on the floor. yuck!

We have a Texas Roadhouse very close to our home. We actually used to go there prior to having DD. There are PN EVERYWHERE. They actually put a bucket of shelled PN on your table when you sit down, and YES, there are shells on the floor, not to mention the amount of dust everywhere from all of those PN! I wouldn't take my DD within 100 ft of that place.

Texas Roadhouse absolutely cannot make a safe meal for a peanut allergic person AND a sensitive person will react from the amount of dust in the place - those are dry roasted peanuts.
I'll share a little story - b.k. - before kids, DH and I owned a little bar. Really little - could seat about 22 in the bar area and had table seating for about 30 more. It was a peanut bar - baskets of dry roasted peanuts about - shell your own and toss them on the floor (I'd be hard pressed to believe the story about someone slipping on a peanut shell - the reason they are popular on floors is they offer no resistance to a shoe - they crush up into dust - however, step on a pistachio shell and you're likely to skid out because it doesn't easily break). Anywho - every evening at close - the place was swept and hot mopped. At some point, we had to remove a number of floorboards because we were getting damage in our basement cold storage ceiling.
The area between the floor and the cold storage ceiling had at least two inches of what one can only assume was peanut dust in it. There is simply no effective way to clean that up - it gets small enough to fall THROUGH the floor.
