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

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: D
05/12/2026 Routine
1 critical -20 points D → F
12/09/2025 1st Follow-Up
0 critical 0 points F → D
12/02/2025 Routine
3 critical -145 points F
Inspection — 05/12/2026
Safe Bite Grade: A
Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 05/12/26

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/12/26

Plumbing is not maintained. Leak at the preparation sink in the bank.

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/12/26

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

1st Follow-Up — 12/09/2025 (7 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: A — Weighs on Current
Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 12/09/25

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair. [Repeat]

Inspection — 12/02/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 12/02/25

Chlorine sanitizer concentration for warewashing is not between 50-100 p.p.m. at 75ºF. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical injury (if too high)

Sanitizer that's too weak won't kill bacteria and viruses. Sanitizer that's too strong can leave chemical residues on dishes and utensils that cause illness. Either way, the safety system has failed.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 12/02/25

Rodents are present in the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli (pathogenic) Hantavirus

Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with urine, droppings, and hair. They carry Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli that can cause severe food poisoning.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 12/02/25

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 0 pts 12/02/25

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 12/02/25

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair.

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 12/02/25

Single use/single service articles are not stored at least six (6) inches off the floor [Corrected]
