Cobb Krystal earns 90 on follow-up inspection

A Cobb County Krystal restaurant has improved its food service score after receiving a jaw-dropping failing grade last week.

The fast food restaurant at 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Mableton received a 90, or A, on its April 8 follow-up inspection. That inspection was scheduled after Krystal received a 63, or U, on its April 4 report. Anything below a 70 is considered failing.

The inspector conducting the follow-up noted the restaurant had packets of food and a bag of grease that were left open and uncovered.

Krystal was also penalized on the latest inspection for having debris on lids used for food storage containers, storage shelving, under storage racks and areas around the front service counter.

This Krystal location is scheduled for a demolition and rebuild, which the regional manager said will happen in late 2019 or early 2020, the report indicates.
