Safe Bite Grade F Failing 07/17/2026
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 07/17/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
07/17/2026 Routine
2 critical -75 points F
03/18/2026 Routine
3 critical -142 points F
11/20/2025 Routine
3 critical -142 points A → F
03/20/2025 Routine
0 critical 0 points A
Inspection — 07/17/2026
Safe Bite Grade: C
Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical toxins (bleach, degreasers, pesticides)

Cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and degreasers stored near food or food-contact surfaces can spill, leak, or produce fumes that contaminate food. Chemical poisoning from contaminated food can cause severe burns, organ damage, and death.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment. [COS]Extension as per RF memo 2019-003 until change of ownership, operations, renovations, and/or complaint/issue. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Salmonella E. coli

Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 07/17/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 07/17/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 07/17/26

Bulk containers are not properly labeled. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 07/17/26

Food scoop is constructed without a handle. [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 07/17/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 07/17/26

In use food utensils are stored in water that is not maintained at a minimum of 135°F. [Corrected][Repeat]

Inspection — 03/18/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 03/18/26

Using time only as a public health control, food was not marked or otherwise identified with the time within which it would be cooked , served , or discarded. [Corrected][Repeat]

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

When food spends too long in the temperature 'danger zone' (41°F-135°F), bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in hours. Some bacteria produce toxins during this time that survive reheating — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/18/26

Quaternary ammonium solution concentration for warewashing is not 200 p.p.m. at 75ºF. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical residue (if too high)

Like chlorine, quaternary ammonium sanitizer must be at the right concentration. Too low and it won't kill pathogens on your dishes. Too high and chemical residues can contaminate food.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 03/18/26

There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment. [COS]Extension as per RF memo 2019-003 until change of ownership, operations, renovations, and/or complaint/issue. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Salmonella E. coli

Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria — which kills about 1 in 5 people it seriously infects — grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days.
