Safe Bite Grade F Failing 06/11/2026
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 06/11/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F

1st Follow-Up — 06/11/2026 (29 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 06/11/26

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

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 Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 06/11/26

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

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.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/11/26

Plumbing is not maintained. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 06/11/26

There are unnecessary items on the premises. [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/11/26

Floor is not maintained in good repair. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/11/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/11/26

Equipment used for cooling| heating and holding cold and hot foods are not sufficient to maintain proper food temperatures. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/11/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 06/11/26

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

Inspection — 05/13/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 05/13/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. EGG WASH, SHRIMP, 60*F FISH, HOT SAUSAGE-58*F

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 Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/13/26

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. [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 — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 05/13/26

Raw animal foods with different cooking temperature requirements are not separated to prevent cross contamination during storage| preparation| or display.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC Allergens

Cross contamination transfers dangerous bacteria from raw meat, dirty surfaces, or contaminated items to food that's ready to eat. Since that food won't be cooked again, any bacteria transferred will be consumed.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 05/13/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. INTERIOR OF ICE MACHINE

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 05/13/26

Rodent bait is not contained in a covered| tamper-resistant bait station.

Safe Bite Analysis Pesticide contamination Rodenticide toxins

Loose rodent bait can contaminate food and food-contact surfaces with pesticide. If bait isn't in a tamper-resistant station, it can be scattered by rodents, kicked by staff, or fall into food preparation areas.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 05/13/26

The air gap between the water supply inlet and the flood rim of the plumbing fixture or equipment is not at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet. THREE COMPARTMENT SINK

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants

Without proper air gaps, contaminated water can be sucked back into the clean water supply through backsiphonage. This means water used for food preparation, ice, or drinking could become contaminated.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 05/13/26

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 05/13/26

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

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/13/26
