  • INSECT RODENT ANIMAL CONTROL Critical

    Sticky fly traps noted hanging in-use over clean dish storage food storage and food preperation areas. All fly traps must be moved away from these locations as discussed with the kitchen manager on site. A re-inspection of this critical item will occur before 8-17-26.

  • REFUSE STORAGE

    Exterior garbage container noted not covered with a tight fitting lid. Dumpster lids noted open.

  • TOILET FACILITIES

    Toilet room noted not clean. Floors in the bathrooms and the toilet stool in the men's room noted in need of cleaning.

  • COLD AND HOT STORAGE EQUIPMENT Critical

    A double-door reach-in freezer was observed holding at 40F instead of maintaining freezing temperatures. Due to an unverified failure duration and staff reporting prolonged malfunction all ''Keep Frozen'' inventory was discarded. Corrective Actions Required before re-inspection occuring before 8-17-26: Repair or Remove: The unit must be fully repaired to maintain freezing temperatures or permanently removed from service. Repurposing Prohibited: The unit cannot be used as a cooler. Allowing a non-functional freezer to operate as a cooler creates a confusion risk leading staff to improperly store ''Keep Frozen'' items inside.

  • COLD AND HOT STORAGE EQUIPMENT Critical

    Walk-in cooler in the facility being used for cold holding temp of 41 degrees F or less was noted not functioning adequately. Some of the TCS food items were on ice however many opened sauces (refrigerate after opening products) eggs cartons of liquid eggs and other TCS food items were disposed of and destroyed upon notification of violation to prevent the potential for food borne illness. This walk-in cooler must be repaired within 10 days to correct this critical violation. Re-inspection will occur before 8-17-27. Employees should also discard any of the TCS foods on ice in the walk-in cooler if there is ANY concern that these items were ever stored above 41F. Also sauce squeeze bottles being used in the kitchen for bbq sauces and other sauces should be stored under refrigeration or on ice. These sauces are all from bottles labeled as ''refrigerate after opening'' or ''keep refrigerated'' and are therefore considered a TCS food once the factory seal is broken on the container. This will be inspected for at the critical re-inspection also.
