ORIGINAL STORY: A popular burger restaurant failed its recent health inspection, with officials reporting "mold buildup in soda gun holster" at the bar and "fly activity" in the main kitchen.
Yeah! Burger, located at 1017 North Highland Avenue, scored a 65/U following the Tuesday evaluation.
According to the report, knives were stored in a "crack between meat and vegetable prep sinks." Officials also reported finding raw meatballs stored in a grill pull out drawer at higher-than-acceptable temperatures.
The Virginia-Highland location opened in 2010 after the first location opened earlier that year in West Midtown.
Out of the eight reports since 2011 listed on the Fulton County Public Health Inspection page, this is the only failed report for the Virginia-Highland location. All the items were listed as new violations.
A manager was unavailable and did not immediately return a call Wednesday morning.
A follow-up inspection will be completed within 10 days of Tuesday's evaluation.
