Safe Bite Grade F Failing 03/06/2026
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 03/06/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

2nd Follow-Up

Critical

0

Non-Critical

2nd Follow-Up — 03/06/2026 (14 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: B
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/06/26

Imported crawfish and shrimp are not identified as specified by law. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Source traceability concern

Louisiana requires that crawfish and shrimp sold in restaurants come from approved, traceable sources. Imported product without proper documentation can't be verified as safe — it may have been processed under unknown safety standards.

1st Follow-Up — 02/26/2026 (6 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 02/26/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only, as a public health control. [Corrected][Repeat]

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

When food spends too long in the temperature 'danger zone' (41°F-135°F), bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in hours. Some bacteria produce toxins during this time that survive reheating — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 02/26/26

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

Imported crawfish and shrimp are not identified as specified by law. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Source traceability concern

Louisiana requires that crawfish and shrimp sold in restaurants come from approved, traceable sources. Imported product without proper documentation can't be verified as safe — it may have been processed under unknown safety standards.

Critical Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 02/26/26

Roaches are present in the establishment. *by the stove [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli Allergens

Cockroaches crawl through drains, sewage, and waste then walk on food and prep surfaces, mechanically transferring bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/26/26

Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/26/26

Lighting intensity in areas where employees are working with unpackaged potentially hazardous food, or knives, slicers, grinders, etc. is not at least 50 foot candles. *light on hood out [Repeat]

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

A current state food safety certificate is not conspicuously posted. [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 0 pts 02/26/26

Non-food contact surfaces are not constructed of a corrosion-resistant, non -absorbent, smooth material *rusty dish shelves, rusty buildup on fridge upstairs [Repeat]

Inspection — 02/20/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 02/20/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only, as a public health control.

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

When food spends too long in the temperature 'danger zone' (41°F-135°F), bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in hours. Some bacteria produce toxins during this time that survive reheating — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical 10 pts 02/20/26

Equipment/utensil with which food is prepared, held or served, was not cleaned, rinsed and sanitized prior to use.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 02/20/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *ice machine, soda machine(corrected), knife rack(corrected), coffee maker(corrected)

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 ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 02/20/26

Imported crawfish and shrimp are not identified as specified by law. *crawfish

Safe Bite Analysis Source traceability concern

Louisiana requires that crawfish and shrimp sold in restaurants come from approved, traceable sources. Imported product without proper documentation can't be verified as safe — it may have been processed under unknown safety standards.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 02/20/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash, rinse and sanitize.

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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 02/20/26

Roaches are present in the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli Allergens

Cockroaches crawl through drains, sewage, and waste then walk on food and prep surfaces, mechanically transferring bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli.

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/20/26

Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects.

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/20/26

Lighting intensity in areas where employees are working with unpackaged potentially hazardous food, or knives, slicers, grinders, etc. is not at least 50 foot candles. *hood lights out

Non-Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 02/20/26

A current state food safety certificate is not conspicuously posted. *place gold seal certificate where customers can see it

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)
