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 04/02/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 04/02/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical 10 pts 04/02/26

Food prepared, packed, or held under conditions where it may have been contaminated. EMPLOYEE WASH HANDS IN SINK WHERE FISH IS THAWING

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 04/02/26

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F. RICE ON STEAM TABLE AT 118F

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 10 pts 04/02/26

An approved cooling method was not used to meet temperature requirements during cooling.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 04/02/26

Using time only as a public health control, food was not marked or otherwise identified with the time within which it would be cooked , served , or discarded.

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 ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 04/02/26

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 ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 04/02/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food, or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food. RAW FISH STORED ABOVE MAYO, RAW CHICKEN STORED ABOVE PICKLED ONION

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC

Raw meat, poultry, and seafood carry dangerous bacteria. When they aren't separated from other foods, bacteria can transfer to items that will be eaten without further cooking.

Critical 10 pts 04/02/26

Materials used to construct food contact equipment imparts odor, color or tastes to food. BREAD STORED IN GROCERY BAGS IN PRODUCE COOLER

Critical 10 pts 04/02/26

Single use gloves were used for more than one purpose.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 04/02/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash, rinse and sanitize. NO SANITIZER WATER SET UP

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 ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 04/02/26

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 04/02/26

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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 04/02/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service or single use articles. FRYER CLEANER STORED NEXT TO CLEAN UTENSILS

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical toxins (bleach, degreasers, pesticides)

Cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and degreasers stored near food or food-contact surfaces can spill, leak, or produce fumes that contaminate food. Chemical poisoning from contaminated food can cause severe burns, organ damage, and death.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 04/02/26

Hot water is not provided to all fixtures, equipment, and nonfood equipment as required. NO HOT WATER AT HANDSINK IN KITCHEN AND RIGHT SIDE SINK IN WOMENS RESTROOM

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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 04/02/26

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.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 04/02/26

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. TAMALES, SEVERAL ITEMS IN LINE COOLER

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 04/02/26

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/17/25

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food, or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC
