DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — 8/29/2017 UPDATE: The restaurant was re-inspected and passed with a score of 91.
A popular Steak ‘n Shake restaurant in metro Atlanta has failed a second health inspection in eight months.
The restaurant on Stonecrest Circle got a lower score than it did in January. During an Aug. 15 health inspection, the Lithonia Steak ‘n Shake only got a score of 41. Violations included flies in the kitchen and food not held cold enough.
Gabrielle Briggs and Kevin Supples learned about the score as they were bringing two of their children for lunch on Thursday.
Briggs told Channel 2's Carol Sbarge that it's not unusual to see flies in a restaurant but she said any violations that could lead to contamination aren't acceptable.

The couple, who both have worked in the food industry, decided to take their children somewhere else for lunch.
The failing score of 41 comes eight months after the Steak ‘n Shake failed with a score of 62.
Sbarge went to the Lithonia restaurant to ask about what is being done to correct the violations. She was told no one could comment, and she’s waiting for a response from the corporate office.
