Stopped eating there long time ago.. horrible customer service and the workers seem like they’re druggies.. just close it down that’s place is gross
Again – how do all of these things go unnoticed by people who work there every day for 8 hours – and yet an inspector can show up and find them so easily…
Glad this county works hard on these inspections…… Seeing that problem not just here though… Saw where a McDonald’s in Marin County was shut down last week because of creepy crawlers….
yes 2 chicken sandwiches and make my whopper with cheese and only 5 nymphs on it ,..im trying to watch my diet…
Don’t eat at any Burger King location, haven’t for years.
I don’t eat out anymore. Just not worth the health risks or the money. What I can’t understand is if the Health Inspector sees all this why don’t the workers? Apparently they must be slobs….or blind. My apology to those who are sight impaired.
That sounds about right…..for that location….waiting to see about other locations…not just Burger Kings….
The disgusting burger. It’s not impossible.
I use to do food safety evaluations at Burger King for Ecosure part of Ecolab.
Burger King hired us to help employees learn food safety. There were 10 areas to check and if one or more failed entire visit had to be repeated. Wonder if Burger King stopped these private company inspections? If they did it was obviously a mistake.
uhmm…. Its Burger King. Aren’t cockroaches part of every meal?
Went there a few weeks ago. Fries all over the floor, workers just hanging out. It looked gross and we questioned how long until they got shut down
did u still eat their grub???
Shut them down and open something better there food is terrible anyways.
Nobody that works there wants to see a customer
The one located on Clayton road behind staples should be closed too…
Bulldoze it down. Put a Pete’s coffee drive through
Let the Fire Dept burn down that grease pit and build a Chick-fil-A.
Don’t need a coffee shop directly across the street from Starbucks. But pleeeese close it down for good. Only people who missed this news would ever go back there. That means it is an unsuspecting public being put at risk. Make ownership and licensing change! Put in a mom and pop sandwich shop!
why would people that hates America(their employees) do anything to help?If they report the mess they get fired most likely,and they will have to clean their own mess.Did they notice the container oif burger spit at the ready?why would you eat there if your not an illegal or ethnic?
Never been to Chick Fil A. Hear it’s great.
