Safe Bite Grade F Failing 05/08/2026
Share:

Safe Bite Grade is independently calculated by Safe Bite Report based on public LDH inspection data. Not an official health department grade. Grade based on latest inspection cycle through 05/08/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
05/08/2026 1st Follow-Up
3 critical -300 points F
04/24/2026 Routine
4 critical -195 points D → F
10/17/2025 1st Follow-Up
3 critical -142 points F → D
10/15/2025 Routine
6 critical -225 points F
1st Follow-Up — 05/08/2026 (14 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 05/08/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 05/08/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

Sewage is human and animal waste — it contains virtually every type of foodborne pathogen. Sewage contamination in a restaurant is an imminent health hazard that can simultaneously expose patrons to Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, and parasites.

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 05/08/26

Rodents are present in the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli (pathogenic) Hantavirus

Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with urine, droppings, and hair. They carry Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli that can cause severe food poisoning.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

Floors are not clean. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust| dirt| food residue and other debris. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

A sanitizer test kit is not provided to accurately measure the concentration in mg/L or parts per million of sanitizing solution provided. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

The toilet room door is not tight fitting and self-closing. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

The toilet room is not mechanically vented to the outside atmosphere [Repeat]

Inspection — 04/24/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/24/26

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus

Food held below 135°F allows dangerous bacteria to multiply and produce toxins that can't be destroyed by reheating. Clostridium perfringens alone causes nearly 1 million illnesses per year in the US.

Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 04/24/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

Critical ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 04/24/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. Water draining on side of building.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

Sewage is human and animal waste — it contains virtually every type of foodborne pathogen. Sewage contamination in a restaurant is an imminent health hazard that can simultaneously expose patrons to Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, and parasites.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 04/24/26

Insects are present in the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Shigella Salmonella E. coli

Flies land on garbage and feces then land on food, transferring bacteria like Shigella and Salmonella. However, the direct risk from occasional fly presence is lower than other pest issues.
