Atlanta’s Landmark Diner drops from 95 to 59 on health inspection

Georgia State University students may have to find another food spot if the Landmark Diner doesn’t improve its restaurant score.

The diner located on Luckie Street got a 59 on its latest inspection. Landmark got a 95 on the previous inspection in October 2015.

Some of the violations in the report included food contamination, raw food stored next to cooked food and pink mold growing inside the ice machine.

The restaurant doesn’t have a food safety manager, according to the report.

Marcko Lisinac, restaurant manager, told Channel 2 Action News in an email it was working to improve conditions.

“We always aim for a perfect 100-A score, it happened that our last inspection we scored less than perfect,” he said.

The restaurant will be reviewed again May 4.
