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 09/02/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical 10 pts 09/02/26

Damage or inferiority of food has been concealed.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 09/02/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below.

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria Salmonella B. cereus C. perfringens

Food held above 41°F enters the 'danger zone' where bacteria multiply rapidly. Listeria can grow even under refrigeration — above 41°F, growth accelerates dangerously. This is one of the most common causes of foodborne outbreaks.

Critical 10 pts 09/02/26

Ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food prepared on premises| and held under refrigeration| was not disposed of after 7 days.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 09/02/26

Flies 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.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 09/02/26

Ready to eat| potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked.

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

Floors are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

Bulk containers are not properly labeled.

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

Food is not stored in a clean| covered container.

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

An accurate product temperature-measuring device is not provided.

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

Utensils/food-contact surfaces are not resistant to pitting| chipping| grazing| scratching scoring| distortion or decomposition.

Non-Critical 0 pts 09/02/26

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

Visit Grade: A — Weighs on Current
Non-Critical 0 pts 07/28/26

The permit is not valid due to nonpayment of fees/penalties.

1st Follow-Up — 06/05/2026 (3 days later)
Visit Grade: A (Historical)
Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/05/26

Utensils/food-contact surfaces are not resistant to pitting| chipping| grazing| scratching scoring| distortion or decomposition. [Repeat]

Inspection — 06/02/2026
Visit Grade: F (Historical)
Critical Repeat Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 06/02/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment| utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella (via saliva/hand contamination)

Employee beverages in food preparation areas create contamination risk through spills and through hand-to-mouth-to-food contact. An infected employee's drink can become a transmission vehicle.

Critical Corrected ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 06/02/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers create a serious risk of accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 06/02/26

Flies 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.
