Inspection — 09/02/2026
Visit Grade: B — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 09/02/26

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.

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 09/02/26

Soiled linens are not stored to prevent contamination of food| clean equipment| clean utensils| single service or single use articles. [Corrected]

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

Non-food contact equipment is not maintained in good repair.-Water condensation in prep coolers

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 09/02/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust| dirt| food residue and other debris.-1) Dust on the fans in the walk-in cooler and freezer, 2) cook area has food residue [Repeat]

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

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

1st Follow-Up — 04/21/2026 (7 days later)
Visit Grade: A — Weighs on Current
Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 04/21/26

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

Inspection — 04/14/2026
Visit Grade: D (Historical)
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

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 Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food| or is placed| stored or displayed above ready to eat food. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC

Raw meat, poultry, and seafood carry dangerous bacteria. When they aren't separated from other foods, bacteria can transfer to items that will be eaten without further cooking.

Critical 10 pts 04/14/26

In a mechanical warewashing operation| the water temperature of the final rinse is less than 180ºF.

Non-Critical 0 pts 04/14/26

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

Inspection — 10/13/2025
Visit Grade: D (Historical)
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/13/25

Using time only as a public health control, food was not served or discarded within 4 hours from when the food was removed from temperature control. White gravy, chili, etc. [Corrected]

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 — cooking it again does not eliminate the risk.

Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/13/25

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. Ice machine. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Listeria Salmonella E. coli

Cutting boards, slicers, prep tables, and utensils that aren't clean become vehicles for spreading bacteria and viruses between food items. A dirty slicer used for deli meat is a classic Listeria transmission pathway.

Critical Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/13/25

Flies are present in the establishment. [Corrected]

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.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 10/13/25

Food is not stored six (6) inches off the floor. Box of chicken in both walk-in freezer/ refrigerator [Repeat]

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/13/25

Non-food contact surfaces are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues. Refrigerators, trays on cart, etc.

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/13/25

Outside waste receptacles were not kept closed.

Inspection — 04/14/2025
Visit Grade: A (Historical)
Non-Critical 0 pts 04/14/25

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 04/14/25
