A popular wing restaurant in the Pittsburgh-area was ordered closed after an inspection found a sewage backup.

The Allegheny County Health Department closed the Big Shot Bob’s on Frankstown Road in Penn Hills on November 6.

A total of 15 violations were discovered, including the sewage backup.

The inspection shows an “active sewage backup” in the food prep and dishwashing area.

“contents of the grease trap back up through the plumbing and through the air-gapped drain of the food preparation sink. Contents then spill onto the floor,” the inspection reads.

For the restaurant to reopen, the grease trap needs to be serviced, clogs removed, sinks sanitized, contact a plumber to “assess functionality of the three-compartment sink”, pay a Change of Ownership fee and pay Annual Food permit fee.

As of Monday evening, the closure was still active on the Allegheny County Health Department’s website.

To see any changes to the status of the restaurant and to see the full inspection, visit the Health Department’s website.
