The place is still almost always empty.

While I know most all restaurants probably do have roaches I just would not be able to eat in one that has been reported to have a problem!

wendyquat: I had the same thought yesterday after reading the posts. I'll bet every restaurant in the world has similar problems its the degree of attention to the matter that well...... matters.

To me, it's the extent of the problem and how they deal with it. If the owner knows, or should know, about it - but does nothing - that's a big problem for me. He/she doesn't care about their customers health.

For example, I won't frequent McDonalds at Colony Plaza. To be shut down twice in one year clearly reflects the owner's lackadaisical attitude toward cleanliness and public health.

I am certified in food safety and I can tell you that most home kitchens could not pass. McDonald's is extremely busy, I see customers as the dirty ones, leaving their trash on tables. I always see the manager constantly checking everything in the kitchen and the dining area.

True, but some managers and owners do not want to pay for the proper pest control services needed to keep the critters down. All the cleaning in the world is not going to keep them out or kill the ones there.

You mean those tasty little critters with a glaze and small legs were a problem?
My Uncle, bless is heart was on a troopship in 1917 going over to France etc. First World war. They cooked in large kettles and the cockroaches running across the ceiling would get steamed from the pots and fall in. My Uncle said some of the richer boys on board would throw their soup over the side and not eat. My Uncle and his outdoor friends who camped a lot, hunted a lot, simply took their spoon and flipped the cockroaches over the side. The others refused to eat. After a few days, the rich boys got in gear and flipped the cockroaches out as every one else was doing. End of true story.

After being shut down twice, I would hope that they finally hired staff who know what they are doing. However, i won't be dining there.

Your uncle was a very brave man, in more ways than one.

If you look at the specifics of each report, the date of the report is noted at the beginning. The information on the app itself does not list a frequency with which the data is pulled. However, going through the various reports I see monthly changes. The app producer says they use FOIA requests to access the reports, unless an individual state makes reports public on a regular basis.

Bet a lot of you are still eating at Palmer Legend Country Club even though they were shut down in mid June of this year because of roaches.
