Repeat violations of roaches, food temps at Shirley’s

Shirley’s Chicken and Waffles in Clayton County failed a recent routine inspection due to roaches throughout the facility and unsafe food temperatures. Both were repeat violations.

Management was advised to contact a professional pest control company and increase the frequency of service. Sugar on a shelf was uncovered and exposed to pests and other contamination. It was discarded.

The reach-in cooler was not keeping foods within a safe temperature range. For example, raw shrimp, chicken, rice, ribs, gravy, and cheese were too warm. Other foods inside a warming cabinet were reheated to bring them up to safe temperatures.
