Once again Chili’s did bad on a inspection, this time they had roaches in the restaurant
There is a serious lack of oversight throughout the kitchen at Chili’s Bar & Grill located at 2521 Sardis Rd. Charlotte, NC according to a recent health safety inspection on February 23, 2022. Chili’s scored a whopping 73.50 C on the inspection. And this is not the first time Chili’s has performed poorly in health inspections.
So first lets talk about the roaches that were found in Chili’s during the inspection. Several roaches were seen by the inspector inside of Chili’s, and most of the roaches were found in the kitchen by the conveyor grill.
There was improper hot and cold holding temperatures along with improper date marking. Food safety practices have not been well communicated to the Chili’s staff, the inspector noted.

A cutting board was stored as clean, but had food debris present. A scoop was stored as clean but had dried food debris on it.
