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 05/12/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 05/12/2026
Safe Bite Grade: D
Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/12/26

An approved cooling method was not used to meet temperature requirements during cooling. [Corrected]

Critical Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 05/12/26

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

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/12/26

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

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/12/26

Clean equipment/utensils are not stored as to eliminate exposure to splash| dust| or contamination. CUTTING BOARD STORED ON HAND SINK

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/12/26

Clean equipment/utensils are not stored as to eliminate exposure to splash| dust| or contamination. DRINK DISPENSERS STORED ON HAND WASH SINK [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 05/12/26

Ice dispensing utensils were not stored in a clean protected location. [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 05/12/26

Non-food contact equipment is not maintained in good repair. DRAIN STOPPER NOT PROVIDED AT THREE COMPARTMENT SINK [Corrected]

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/12/26

Non-food contact equipment is not maintained in good repair. SALAD PREP COOLER

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 05/12/26

Food handler is wearing jewelry on arms or hands. [Corrected]

1st Follow-Up — 02/11/2026 (2 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: A — Weighs on Current
Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/11/26

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

Inspection — 02/09/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 02/09/26

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 ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 02/09/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility.

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.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 02/09/26

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.

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 Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 02/09/26

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected][Repeat]

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 Corrected 0 pts 02/09/26

Moist cloths used for wiping spills on food contact surfaces are not stored in approved chemical sanitizer between uses. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 02/09/26

Bulk containers are not properly labeled. [Corrected]

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/09/26

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

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 02/09/26

Single use/single service articles are not stored in a clean dry location. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 02/09/26

In use food utensils are not stored with the handles above the top of the food. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 02/09/26

Employees’ personal care items are stored where food equipment, utensils, linens, single service items or single use items may be contaminated. [Corrected]

Inspection — 11/21/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 11/21/25

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.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/21/25

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

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.

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/21/25

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. FOOD ITEMS WERE VOLUNTARILY DISCARDED DURING THE INSPECTION [Corrected]

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 ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/21/25

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC

Unwashed hands are the #1 way restaurant workers spread Norovirus — which causes half of all food poisoning outbreaks. An infected worker can carry billions of virus particles; it only takes a few to make you sick.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 11/21/25

Chemicals are stored with/above food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service or single use articles. [Corrected][Repeat]

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.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/21/25

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

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 Corrected 0 pts 11/21/25
