Previous story (published July 24, 2017):
A Cobb County wing restaurant and bar failed its recent health check.
An inspector gave The Wing Cafe & Tap House a score of 62/U during a Friday visit. Any score below a 70 is considered failing.
The Marietta eatery, located at 2145 Roswell Road, was cited for having food kept at unsafe temperatures, employees not properly washing their hands and mold in an ice machine.
The inspector’s report said workers didn’t wash their hands after touching dirty dishes before handling clean ones.
As for the mold, the inspector noted that “a deep cleaning” will be needed “as soon as possible” and this was a repeat violation.
Store owner John Kenny said almost everything was taken care of and a lot of work was done while the inspector was there, which the report said.
“These are easily remedied situations,” he said. “It was kind of minor stuff.”
The restaurant scored passing marks on its last four inspections between January 2013 and July 2016, online county health department records show.
Follow-up inspections are usually done within 10 days of the original evaluation.
