It’s going to take more than a failing restaurant score to get patrons to stop eating at the Bullpen Rib House across the street from Turner Field.

The restaurant, which got a 60 on its recent health inspection, is a popular pregame and postgame spot for Braves fans.

“We get the four-game pack and we stay next door,” customer Rick Fabian told Channel 2 Action News. “We eat here three or four times. I love this food.”

The glowing reviews won’t swat the fruit flies that were listed in the inspection report. Debris was also found on the salad prep table and black-and-pink mold was located inside the ice machine.

Fabian told Channel 2 he’ll continue eating at the restaurant as long as he doesn’t get sick.

The restaurant has had an otherwise clean record. Its past two scores were 92 and 93. It will be reviewed again later this month, Channel 2 reported.
