1 restaurant shut down, 1 cited for live roaches in Tarrant County health inspections
In 98 recent health inspections across Tarrant County, one restaurant was closed.
Inspections ran from May 22-28 and were conducted for food establishments in Tarrant County besides those in Fort Worth, Arlington, North Richland Hills and Euless, all of which conduct their own inspections.
No local food establishments scored over 29 demerits, which would require the restaurant to have a followup inspection.
However, Bread and Butter Breakfast Bistro, located at 122 S. Tarrant St., which scored a 15, had its facility permit temporarily suspended after inspectors saw the walk-in cooler was malfunctioning.
The establishment had its followup inspection the following day and reopened with a perfect score.
