FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A family-run restaurant in Cumming has its first failing health inspection since opening 11 years ago. That Biscuit Place on Chattahoochee Industrial Park got a score of 57 on Dec. 13.

"I've been coming here for many, many years. This place is spotless. This place is delicious. This place it one of my favorite places in the area," he said.

Violations included mildew like substance on soda drink nozzles, sausage gravy not reheated to proper temperature and some food not held cold enough.

Holmes said they are working with the Forsyth County Health Department to make sure all violations are well above standard.
