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 03/24/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

3rd Follow-Up — 03/24/2026 (27 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: B
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/24/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

2nd Follow-Up — 03/24/2026 (27 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: A+ — Weighs on Current
1st Follow-Up — 02/25/2026
Safe Bite Grade: D
Critical Repeat Corrected 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 02/25/26

Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 02/25/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

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 02/25/26

Employee was persistently sneezing, coughing or blowing nose in an area of exposed food, equipment or utensils.

Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. **CUTTING BOARD AND DISH RACK** [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 Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash, rinse and sanitize. [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 Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

Unapproved chemicals are used in the food establishment. [Repeat]

Critical Repeat ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

2nd Follow-Up — 12/02/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 12/02/25

Food consists in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis High bacterial load Spoilage toxins Mold toxins

Decomposed or putrid food contains extremely high levels of bacteria and toxins. It is visibly unsafe and should never be anywhere near a kitchen — let alone served to customers.

Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/02/25

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus

Food held below 135°F allows dangerous bacteria to multiply and produce toxins that can't be destroyed by reheating. Clostridium perfringens alone causes nearly 1 million illnesses per year in the US.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 12/02/25

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 Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 12/02/25

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