Popular Gwinnett wing restaurant fails health inspection

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — UPDATE: The restaurant received a 100 upon reinspection.

-----

A wing franchise restaurant in Loganville failed a health inspection in part because of cockroaches in the kitchen.

After Buffalo’s Café on Athens Highway in Gwinnett County got a 45 inspection score Sept. 19, it closed for a day. The staff used that time to thoroughly clean and correct violations.

One customer, William Gee says he won’t eat there after learning about the score of 45. He thinks there’s a health issue.

Violations included live roaches and flies in the kitchen, food items not held cold enough and observed dented cans.

The franchiser for Buffalo’s Café sent Channel’s Carol Sbarge an e-mail statement that reads, “We immediately met with the franchisee and ordered a corrective plan that brings the restaurant up to our standards and the health department’s standards.”

Buffalo’s Franchise Concepts, Inc. says the restaurant closed Thursday to implement an action plan. It reopened Friday morning.

The restaurant was inspected twice this year before failing one. It got a 98 and a 92.
 
This Buffalo's Café will be re-inspected this month. We'll let you know what the new score is.
