1 critical -15 points F
04/06/2026 Routine

Inspection — 07/07/2026
Safe Bite Grade: A
Critical Repeat Corrected ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 07/07/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 07/07/26

An accurate product temperature-measuring device is not provided. 1. Biscuit freezer [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 07/07/26

Single use/single service articles are not stored at least six (6) inches off the floor 1. Box of cups [Corrected][Repeat]

Inspection — 04/06/2026
Safe Bite Grade: D — Weighs on Current
Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 04/06/26

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

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 Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/06/26

There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment. EXTENSION AS PER RF MEMO 2019-003 UNTIL CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP, OPERATIONS, RENOVATIONS, AND/OR COMPLAINT/ISSUE. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Salmonella E. coli

Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/06/26

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. 1. Gravy [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 Repeat 0 pts 04/06/26

An accurate product temperature-measuring device is not provided. 1. Biscuit freezer [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 04/06/26

Single use/single service articles are not stored at least six (6) inches off the floor 1. Box of cups [Repeat]

Inspection — 10/08/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/08/25

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. 1. Cooked eggs 2. Cooked oatmeal 3. Cooked biscuits 4. Cooked sausage 5. Cooked omelettes 6. Gravy 7. Bag of uncooked eggs [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 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/08/25

Food to be held cold was not cooled from 70°F to 41°F or below within 4 hours following cooking or hot holding. 1. Cooked eggs 2. Cooked oatmeal 3. Cooked biscuits 4. Cooked sausage 5. Cooked omelettes 6. Gravy [Corrected]

Critical Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/08/25

There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment. Extension as per RF Memo 2019-003 until change of ownership, operations, renovations, and/or complaint/issue [Corrected][Repeat]

Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.
