Yes, eat hereJudged 7/10/2026

The most recent inspection (2025) only cited a paperwork issue—lack of a formal written employee health policy—not an actual contamination or handling problem. A 2023 cooler temperature issue was promptly corrected (food discarded/moved) and no repeat issues appeared since, so there's no current evidence of ongoing food-safety risk.

    Potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be maintained at 41°F or below during cold holding. AMC 16.60.140(3-501.16.A.2.a) Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety (TCS) food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" 41*F to 135*F too long. Maintaining TCS foods under the cold temperature control requirements prescribed in this code will limit the growth of pathogens that may be present in or on the food and may help prevent foodborne illness. ***FOODS STORED IN MEAT COOLER ON THE COOK LINE MEASURED ABOVE 41°F.
