Who publishes this, and what they sell. This guide is published by Viking Net, which sells technology services to restaurants — websites, apps, point-of-sale systems and card processing — including to businesses rated on this site. Every rating here is computed by a formula published in full from public records: health inspections, city 311 complaints, published awards, and the state sales-tax permit date. No business can pay to change its score, raise its rank, or have a low score removed, and none has ever been asked to. If that ever changes, this paragraph comes down first.

Latest health inspection

Jun 15, 2026 94 5 findings · 2 illness risk factors
Cross-contaminationIllness risk factor

In-use utensils were stored improperly between uses

Tongs and scoops left in standing lukewarm water sit in a bacteria incubator between every use. They go in the food handle-up, on a clean dry surface, or in water kept above 135°F.

“Single-service and single-use articles may not be reused. IMPROPER USE OF SINGLE USE UTENSILS. AT INSPECTION: ENCOUNTERED SINGLE USE PLASTIC FOOD CONDIMENT CONTAINER BEING USED AS DISPENSING UTENSIL FOR SUGAR 39 .”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-304.12(B) — In-Use Utensils, Between-Use Storage

Cross-contaminationIllness risk factor

Single-use items were reused

Takeout containers, deli cups and cardboard are designed to be used once. Reused, they cannot be cleaned properly.

Food Code 4-502.13(A) — Single-Service and Single-Use Articles, Use Limitation

Pests

An outer door, window or gap was not sealed against pests

A propped back door or a gap under a door is the single most common way roaches, flies and rodents get in.

Food Code 6-202.15(C) — Outer Openings, Protected

Pests

Dead pests were not removed

Dead insects and rodents left in place are both a contamination source and a sign the problem is not being worked.

“Exterior doors used as exits need not be self-closing if they are solid and tight-fitting. AT INSPECTION: REAR METAL DOOR (EMERGENCY EXIT/DELIVERIES), DAMAGED AND DOES NOT CREATE A SOLID, TIGHT FIT WHEN CLOSED. REPLACE ALL DAMAGED AND MISSING WEATHER STRIPPING AND BOTTOM DOOR SWEEP.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 6-501.112 — Removing Dead or Trapped Birds, Insects, Rodents, and Other Pests

Cleanliness

Equipment or utensils were not clean

Split into two standards: anything that touches food must be clean to sight and touch, and everything else must be free of built-up grease, dust and debris. This is the most cited line in the whole code.

“In-use utensils, between-use storage. During pauses in food preparation or dispensing, food preparation and dispensing utensils shall be stored in food that is not time/temperature controlled for safety with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed…”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Mar 4, 2026 93 4 findings · 2 illness risk factors
Handwashing & hygieneIllness risk factor

Handwashing was done incorrectly

The code specifies twenty seconds with soap and vigorous scrubbing. A rinse under the tap does not do the job.

“When to wash. EMPLOYEES shall clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms as specified under §”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 2-301.12 — Cleaning Procedure

Handwashing & hygieneIllness risk factor

Staff did not wash hands when they were required to

Between raw chicken and ready-to-eat food, after the restroom, after touching the face — these are the specific moments contamination moves.

Food Code 2-301.14 — When to Wash

Plumbing & water

A required air gap was missing

The physical air gap above a drain is what stops sewage siphoning back into an ice machine or a sink.

“Repairing. The physical facilities shall be maintained in good repair. CONTAINING WITH THE REPLACING/REPAIRING OF ANY BROKEN,CRACKED FLOOR TILES AND ANY BROKEN/MISSING BASEBOARD TILES. 19”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 5-202.13 — Backflow Prevention, Air Gap

Building & equipment

Something in the building was broken and not repaired

Broken tile, damaged wall, failing cooler seal. Damaged surfaces cannot be cleaned and they collect what everything else sheds.

“immediately before engaging in FOOD preparation including working with exposed FOOD, clean EQUIPMENT and UTENSILS, and unwrapped SINGLE-SERVICE and SINGLE-USE ARTICLES AT INSPECTION: WITNESSED FOOD SERVICE EMPLOYEE CONDUCTING SERVICE COUNTER DUTIES, MOVE TO FOOD DISPENSING DUTY AND FAILED TO WASH…”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Aug 18, 2025 89 12 findings · 4 illness risk factors
Cross-contaminationIllness risk factor

Food was stored where it could be contaminated

Boxes on the floor, food under a leaking line, product stored in the mop area. Anything at floor level catches splash and pests.

“Sanitizing solutions, testing devices. 37”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-305.11(A)(3) — Food Storage

Dishwashing & sanitizingIllness risk factor

No test strips for checking sanitizer strength

“Obtain test strips for chemical sanitizer (quaternary ammonium). Concentration to be between 200-400ppm.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 4-302.14 — Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices · inspection item 29

Dishwashing & sanitizingIllness risk factor

Sanitizer was at the wrong strength

Too weak and it does not kill anything; too strong and it becomes a chemical hazard on the plate. Both are common and both need a test strip to catch.

Food Code 4-501.114(C) — Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Conc

Dishwashing & sanitizingIllness risk factor

The sanitizing step was not done correctly

Either hot water at the required temperature and time, or chemical sanitizer at the required strength and contact time. Neither is optional.

“Utilize test strips to ensure all food contact surfaces and equipment are being sanitized in correct concentrations.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 4-703.11(C)(4) — Hot Water and Chemical · inspection item 10

Pests

Pests were present, or the premises were not kept free of them

Roaches, flies and rodents move directly between waste and food. A live sighting during an inspection means the population is well established.

“several dead roaches and flies in dry storage area. -Remove all dead pests.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 6-501.111(D) — Controlling Pests · inspection item 34

Pests

Dead pests were not removed

Mar 3, 2025 93 3 findings · 2 illness risk factors
Date markingIllness risk factor

Ready-to-eat food was not date-marked

Once opened or made in house, refrigerated ready-to-eat food gets a maximum of seven days. With no date on the container, nobody in the kitchen knows which day that is.

“A plumbing system shall be repaired according to the Plumbing Code. OBSERVED UNSEALED PIPE AT HANDSINK IN REAR OF ESTABLISHMENT, WHEN FAUCET WAS TURNED ON PIPE WOULD LEAK EXCESSIVELY. ENSURE TO REPAIR PLUMBING. 28”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-501.17(A) — Ready-to-Eat, Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Date Marking

Handwashing & hygieneIllness risk factor

No paper towels at a hand sink

Wet hands transfer far more bacteria than dry ones, and staff who cannot dry their hands mostly stop washing them.

Food Code 6-301.12 — Hand Drying Provision

Plumbing & water

The plumbing was leaking or in disrepair

A leak under a prep sink puts standing water on the floor and drips onto whatever is stored below it.

“Hand drying provision.. OBSERVED NO HAND DRYING PROVISIONS AT BEGINNING OF INSPECTION, MANAGEMENT REPLACED PAPER TOWELS. 19”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 5-205.15(A) — System Maintained in Good Repair

Aug 21, 2024 95 2 findings · 2 illness risk factors
Temperature controlIllness risk factor

Food was not held cold enough or hot enough

Between about 41°F and 135°F bacteria multiply fast. Food parked in that window for hours is the single most common cause of foodborne illness.

“Cooling, heating, and holding capacities. Equipment. 2”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-501.16(A)(2) — Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Hot and Cold Holding

Temperature controlIllness risk factor

The cooling or hot-holding equipment could not keep up

A fridge or steam table that cannot hold its temperature under real service load means everything inside it drifts into the danger zone.

Food Code 4-301.11 — Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities

Feb 20, 2024 95 2 findings · 1 illness risk factor
Handwashing & hygieneIllness risk factor

A hand sink was blocked, or used for something other than washing hands

Hand sinks get used as dump sinks or stacked with boxes. A hand sink you have to move something to reach does not get used mid-rush, which is exactly when it matters.

“Backflow Prevention. The plumbing system shall preclude backflow of a solid, liquid, or gas contaminant into the water supply system at each point of use, including on a hose bib, by: installing an approved backflow prevention device that meets the American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE)…”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 5-205.11 — Using a Handwashing Sink

Plumbing & water

Feb 28, 2023 92 7 findings · 6 illness risk factors
Temperature controlIllness risk factor

Frozen food was not kept frozen

Partial thawing and refreezing degrades food safety and quality, and hides how long the food actually spent warm.

“Storing the food where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination. 38”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-501.11 — Frozen Food

Temperature controlIllness risk factor

Frozen food was thawed for prep without temperature control

Slacking frozen food has to be done under refrigeration or on a controlled clock, not left out.

“Frozen food. Stored frozen foods shall be maintained frozen.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-501.12(B) — Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Slacking

Temperature controlIllness risk factor

Food was thawed unsafely

Thawing on a counter or in warm standing water lets the outside of the food warm into the bacteria growth range while the middle is still frozen.

“Time/temperature controlled for safety food, slacking.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-501.13(B) — Thawing

Date markingIllness risk factor

Food was kept past its date-mark limit, or with no date at all

Listeria grows slowly even in a working fridge. The seven-day limit exists specifically to catch that, and it only works if the dates are on the containers.

Food Code 3-501.18(A)(1) — Ready-to-Eat, Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Disposition

Cross-contaminationIllness risk factor

Raw and ready-to-eat food were not kept separate

What these numbers do and do not mean

An inspection score describes one visit on one day. It is what one inspector recorded on one date at one address — Metro Health says so itself. It is not a standing condition, not a grade for the food, and not a prediction about your lunch. A kitchen that scored 88 in March may be spotless today, and one that scored 100 may not be.

A 311 complaint is a phone call, not a finding. The city records that a member of the public called. It is not a citation, not an investigation result, and not evidence that anything was wrong. The city files it against an address, so where two food businesses share one, neither the record nor we can tell them apart. We publish the count with its denominator and let you weigh it.

Awards are reported, not endorsed. Every recognition on this site carries its publisher, its year and a link to the page we read it on. We did not judge those contests and we do not vouch for them; where a publisher named a business rather than an address, the page says so.

Absence of data is never rendered as a finding. No inspection on record means no Bird Score — never a zero, never quietly ranked last. No award found means we searched 172 recognitions from 13 publishers and found none, which is a statement about press coverage and not about cooking.

If something here is wrong, we will fix it. Every figure links to the record it came from. Email us with the correction and we will check it against the source and correct it within 48 hours, whether or not you are a customer. How to request a correction.
