Pittsburgh Eatery Ordered Closed Due To 'Imminent Hazard'

PENN HILLS, PA — The Allegheny County Health Department has ordered the closure of a popular Pittsburgh restaurant because of an imminent hazard.

Big Shot Bob's on Frankstown Road was shut down because of an active sewage backup in the food preparation-warewashing areas that was discovered during an inspection on Friday.

The three-bowl and food preparation sinks and plumbed together. When bowls of the three-bowl sink are filled and drained, grease trap contents back up through the plumbing and through the food preparation sink drain and then spill onto the floor.

Big Shot Bob's was ordered to service, empty and clean the grease trap; have a plumber repair and eliminate any clogs; disinfect the entire floor area near the three-bowl and food preparation sinks; and obtain a maintenance agreement for future grease trap services.

A "closed" placard is posted at an establishment when an imminent health hazard is identified at a restaurant or kitchen or if it has been operating without proper permits.

It is unlawful to operate a food facility with a "closed" placard.
