Yes, eat hereJudged 7/10/2026

The most recent inspection (May 2026) found no violations at all, and the prior recurring cold-holding equipment issues from February/March 2026 appear to have been addressed or are being worked on, with staff actively correcting problems (discarding unsafe food, repairing coolers) each time they were found. Given the clean latest inspection, it looks safe to eat here now, though the repeated cooler-temperature problems earlier this year are worth keeping an eye on.
