Maggiano's, Hibachi Express, IHOP: Atlanta Restaurant Inspections

ATLANTA, GA — Some telltale signs of a bad restaurant are pretty obvious: Nasty smells, grimy tables or unkempt employees are all red flags for a dining spot you want to avoid. But sometimes the problem is harder to spot, such as food stored at improper temperatures or unclean kitchen equipment. And some kitchens are spotless, with every safety rule followed, and customers well-cared for.
