CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A live roach was found in vanilla crepe filling at a Denny's on Sunset Road in north Charlotte, according to an inspection report.
On the report dated Sept. 21, 2022, the restaurant received a "B" grade of 82.5 after several violations we observed, including management not monitoring date marking or insect control in the facility and no certified food protection staff being on-site during the inspection.
The restaurant is able to request a re-inspection, which will happen within 15 days after the request is made, according to the report.
WCNC Charlotte has reached out to Denny's for comment on this incident.
