A video of roaches in the kitchen area of a popular metro Atlanta restaurant, The Flying Biscuit Cafe, has people talking.
In the 30-second video, posted to YouTube on June 5, viewers can see roaches crawling along the walls and on the clean dish rack. Links to the video were shared to Reddit and Twitter.
In an email, Flying Biscuit spokesperson Elisa Suri said “the video in question was filmed last year. Following this incident, we revisited our pest management process to address any potential pest concerns.” Suri went on to say the health of Flying Biscuit customers is the restaurant’s first priority.

The Candler Park location received a 92 on their food service inspection in March and an 89 on their inspection in August of 2017.
YouTube user Katherine Todd uploaded the video and noted in the caption that “part of the server sidework is to literally rinse all the dead roaches out of the espresso machine. They were sometimes found in the uncovered apple butters in the fridge.”
Flying Biscuit said the video was uploaded by a relative of a former employee, but did not elaborate.
The video has received more than 2,000 views. Tina Banee commented on the YouTube post, saying, “I feel sick! My daughter and I saw two roaches on the wall near our table. The manager apologized and forgave our bill. That was at least a year ago. Never again!!”
Flying Biscuit has 12 locations in Georgia. The Candler Park restaurant is located at 1655 McLendon Ave. in Atlanta.
