East Cobb Food Scores: Marlow's gets 'A' on re-inspection Archives

Marlow's Tavern Sandy Plains; East Cobb food scores

After getting a 79 score in a health inspection in April, Marlow’s Tavern Sandy Plains was re-inspected this week, and got a score of 79.

Cobb and Douglas Health reinspects restaurants that score 80 or below.

On April 13, the agency found that Marlow’s (2960 Shallowford Road) had improper food storage issues, including some that were repeat violations, among them uncovered food items.

There also were soap/sanitary issues at sinks. One of the soap dispensers in the women’s restroom was not working, and the manager went to a nearby store to buy batteries for it to become operable.

A food prep gasket also wasn’t working and was unable to remain below the 49-degree maximum, and three containers with Creme Brulé’ prepared the day before were stored above 41 degrees (inspection report here).

When inspectors returned on Thursday, they found only one violation, improper cooling methods for food in a walk-in cooler, a three-point deduction (inspection report here).

Among the other remarks on the report are that Marlows “will need to find a way to prevent flies from entering the facility.”

The 97 score is the highest for that Marlow’s location since a 90 score in August of 2023.
