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.

Food touched an unclean surface or utensil
The surface is the last thing between the kitchen and the plate.
“bowl stored inside container of lettuce. Ensure food only contacts clean surfaces of equipment, linen, single service articles.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 3-304.11 — Food Contact with Equipment and Utensils · inspection item 9
Wiping cloths were left out instead of kept in sanitizer
A damp rag on the counter is the most effective bacteria-spreading tool in a kitchen. Between uses it belongs in a bucket of sanitizer at the right strength.
“sani bucket visibly soiled. Ensure to change out sani bucket when visibly soiled.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 3-304.14(D) — Wiping Cloths, Use Limitation · inspection item 36
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.
“item stored in hand sink by dish station. Ensure hand sinks are used for handwashing only.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 5-205.11 — Using a Handwashing Sink · inspection item 31
Oct 11, 2024 98 2 findings · 1 illness risk factor
Wiping cloths were left out instead of kept in sanitizer
A damp rag on the counter is the most effective bacteria-spreading tool in a kitchen. Between uses it belongs in a bucket of sanitizer at the right strength.
“sani bucket sanitizing solution visibly soiled. Ensure sani bucket solution is changed when visibly soiled.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 3-304.14(D) — Wiping Cloths, Use Limitation · inspection item 36

Aug 1, 2024 96 2 findings
Equipment or utensils were not clean

“food debris/residue on multiple cleaned metal and plastic inserts. Ensure cleaned utensils are clean to sight and touch.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 4-601.11(A) — Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils · inspection item 10

Torn gaskets, failing seals, doors that do not close. Most cooler temperature failures start here.

Food Code 4-501.11 — Good Repair and Proper Adjustment · inspection item 39
Feb 5, 2024 98 4 findings
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.
“flying insect presence in the bar area and in the dirty towel storage area. Ensure pests are eliminated using effective and approved means.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 6-501.111(C) — Controlling Pests · inspection item 25
An approved chemical was used outside its instructions
Right product, wrong dose or wrong place, is still a hazard.
“Controlling pests. The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to eliminate their presence on the premises by using methods, if pests are found, such as trapping devices or other means of pest control as specified under §”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

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.
“A reach-in cooler on the prep line was temping in the mid to high 40s. Ensure coolers are capable of maintaining food at 41°F or below.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 4-301.11 — Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities · inspection item 27
Raw and ready-to-eat food were not kept separate

Food Code 3-302.11(A)(4) — Packaged and Unpackaged Food - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation · inspection item 37

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.
