Safe Bite Grade F Failing 03/30/2026
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 03/30/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

1st Follow-Up — 03/30/2026 (3 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/30/26

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

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 Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/30/26

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

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 ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/30/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers are a recipe for accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/30/26

Hot water is not provided to all fixtures, equipment, and nonfood equipment as required. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (indirect — via inadequate cleaning)

Without hot water, staff can't effectively wash their hands or clean equipment. Cold water doesn't dissolve grease or activate soap as effectively, reducing the ability to remove pathogens from hands and surfaces.

Critical Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/30/26

Mobile unit, which is required to have a water system, did not have water under pressure. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

Ventilation doors or windows are not protected with 16 mesh screens, air curtains, or other effective means of insect control. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

Floors are not clean. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

Floor is not maintained in good repair. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

A valid permit to operate is not posted in a conspicuous location. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

An accurate ambient air temperature-measuring device is not provided. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

Non-food contact equipment is not maintained in good repair. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

The hand wash lavatory and/or soap and paper towel dispensers are not clean. [Repeat]

Inspection — 03/27/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

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

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 10 pts 03/27/26

Food was prepared in a non-permitted facility.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 03/27/26

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

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 03/27/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment, utensils or other items requiring protection were stored.

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 ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 03/27/26

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 03/27/26

Equipment and/or utensils are not constructed of approved materials.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical leaching Pathogen harborage

Equipment made from unapproved materials may be impossible to properly clean (harboring bacteria in cracks and pores) or may leach chemicals into food during cooking or storage.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 03/27/26

An approved sanitizer is not being used during manual or mechanical warewashing.

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.

Critical ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts 03/27/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers are a recipe for accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/27/26

Hot water is not provided to all fixtures, equipment, and nonfood equipment as required.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (indirect — via inadequate cleaning)

Without hot water, staff can't effectively wash their hands or clean equipment. Cold water doesn't dissolve grease or activate soap as effectively, reducing the ability to remove pathogens from hands and surfaces.

Critical 10 pts 03/27/26

Mobile unit, which is required to have a water system, did not have water under pressure.

Critical 10 pts 03/27/26

Connections for waste system are not of different type or size than those for supplying the potable water system.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 03/27/26

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 — 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 03/27/26

Ventilation doors or windows are not protected with 16 mesh screens, air curtains, or other effective means of insect control.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/27/26

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/27/26

The hand wash lavatory and/or soap and paper towel dispensers are not clean.

Inspection — 10/02/2025
Safe Bite Grade: B
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/02/25

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.
