Arthur Bryant's Barbeque had roaches, 14 critical violations during health inspection

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Arthur Bryant’s Barbeque located 1727 Brooklyn Ave, Kansas City, Mo. had 27 violations, and 14 were critical violations during a routine inspection on June 30, 2015, according to health inspection reports.

The restaurant is a barbeque favorite in Kansas City. Even President Obama visited the location on Brooklyn in 2014.

The restaurant temporarily shut down due to live roach activity throughout the restaurant.

During the investigation, inspectors said they found roaches in the kitchen, basement and on the stairs. Roaches were also found on the floor, dish racks and on the walls.

Most of the critical violations were fixed on site but the restaurant had until July 03, 2015 to fix some of the others.

Some of the critical violations include:

Multiple roaches and ants spotted on the kitchen floor, in the basement and behind cooking utensils
Smoked cigars and cigarettes were found in the kitchen around open food containers
No employees were observed washing their hands during entire inspection even after performing multiple tasks
Food wasn’t being maintained at proper temperatures or properly labeled
Stagnant waste water
The inspection also found 13 other violations that must be fixed by Sept. 28, 2015.

Some of those violations include:

Grease build up on the fryer and ventilation hood system
Residue build up on kitchen food storage shelves & other utensils
Dirty bathrooms
Overflowing trash
Shredded Styrofoam cups in sugar of sugar bin
The inspection report also lists citations for things like an employee using tobacco near exposed food and employees failing to thoroughly wash their hands and exposed arms.

In a follow-up inspection on July 2, 2015, Arthur Bryant’s had six critical violations and two more critical violations during a July 4, 2015 inspection, according to the inspection reports.

There were no critical violations found during a July, 7, 2015 inspection.

An Arthur Bryant’s official says all violations have been corrected and new management has been brought in.

A city health official said the third reinspection found the restaurant corrected all violations and approved them to reopen to prepare, serve and sell food to the public.

Arthur Bryant's was shutdown in 2003. During that inspection dead mice, roaches and rat droppings were found.

The restaurant also had a pest control problem in 2013.

Damn.

So that's what the gritty stuff in their sauce was

Surprised some don't like it, but different strokes. What's weird tho is people who are loyal to only 1 type of sauce. That's heresy for a Kansas Citian. I like a lot of them. It's like saying you only like brunettes. WTF? Bryant's may be the slutty redhead with eff-me eyes.....but I'm not looking away.

La cueca racha "Caviar"

I hope he got extra roaches in his Q.

Wasn't impressed by it a couple KC visits ago (March 2014). Not in any hurry to go back, especially now.

Still better than any other BBQ in KC, so I guess the roaches are yummy.

Don't care. Would still eat.

You and I agree on a lot outside of politics.

The roaches add flavor.

Pretty disgusting list. I would never risk my safety and eat at a place like that.

As a restaurant owner for almost 8 years, I have never once had a critical violation. My last inspection was perfect. I have the cleanest place in town.

Had AB's, Joes and Bates city BBQ all this week for lunch. Every place was awesome. One perk of working in Lenexa, they are all very close to my office.
