Recent inspections show only minor issues: a missing covered receptacle in the restroom and a lapse in date-marking practices. Neither reflects contamination, pest activity, or unsafe food temperatures, so it should be fine to eat here.

Yes, eat here7/10/2026

The only issue found was a lack of proper date-marking on ready-to-eat foods held over 24 hours, which is a recordkeeping/administrative violation rather than evidence of unsafe temperatures, contamination, or pest activity. This is a fixable paperwork gap, not an active food-safety hazard, so it should be fine to eat here.
