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 05/20/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
05/20/2026 1st Follow-Up
1 critical -150 points F
05/15/2026 Routine
1 critical -100 points F
03/18/2026 Routine
0 critical 0 points F
11/25/2025 Routine
0 critical -50 points C → F
03/21/2025 Routine
0 critical -75 points C
1st Follow-Up — 05/20/2026 (5 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 05/20/26

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.
