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 10/15/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 10/15/2026
Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 10/15/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. UPEPER INTERIOR OF ICE MAKER, HEAVY BUILD-UP NOTED ON DEEP FRYER BASKETS

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 Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/15/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash| rinse and sanitize. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

The 3-compartment sink process (wash, rinse, sanitize) is designed to eliminate bacteria from utensils and equipment. Skipping steps or doing them out of order means utensils may look clean but still carry infectious organisms.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 10/15/26

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.

Visit Grade: C — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 06/09/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food. Raw fish and chicken stored over drinks. [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 Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 06/09/26

An approved sanitizer is not being used during manual or mechanical warewashing. All dishes must be washed with soap at hot water, rinsed, and then sanitized with warm water at sanitizer. Bleach is available. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

Cleaning removes visible dirt, but only sanitizing kills the invisible bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning. Without sanitizer, surfaces that look clean can still spread Norovirus, Salmonella, and Listeria.

Non-Critical 0 pts 06/09/26

Non-food contact equipment is not maintained in good repair. Small cooler needs gaskets

Inspection — 04/10/2025
Visit Grade: A (Historical)
