The Flying Biscuit Cafe has closed after the Peachtree Corners restaurant failed a second restaurant inspection.
An inspection report dated Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013, shows the popular eatery scored a 59-U in a follow up inspection. Flying Biscuit had scored a 40-U on Sept. 5.
The report indicates that the restaurant's FOOD SERVICE PERMIT IS SUSPENDED due to consecutive grades of "U". Food service must cease immediately.
Inspectors advised the restaurant's management that it would return within a week for a re-inspection.
Patch attempted to contact the restaurant for comment but no one answered. A recorded message asks callers to leave a message. A Patch reporter left a message which had not been returned by deadline for this story.
