The Largo Family Restaurant, 788 Missouri Ave. N., was shut down as an emergency closure Nov. 20.

The restaurant is a favorite meeting spot for customers like Bob Swenson and Carol Usiak.

“We come here all the time,” said Swenson. “We’re regulars here.”

The establishment is popular with seniors and families with small children. But some of those customers could be susceptible to getting sick due to serious health code violations.

The restaurant was written up Nov. 20 with 31 violations.

Problems were so severe the restaurant was ordered to temporarily close with roaches running around the kitchen right above where an employee was prepping food.

It gets worse, with more live roaches found in a box of lasagna noodles near the spices and single service items, and another roach in the corn meal container.

The inspector even reported finding dead roaches in the soap dispenser used by employees to wash their hands.
