Yes, eat hereJudged 7/10/2026

Recent inspections show only minor administrative issues, like a food worker having the wrong type of card and an incomplete health policy document, which are paperwork concerns rather than active food safety risks. The one past issue with sanitizer concentration in 2023 was resolved and hasn't recurred, and no violations involving contamination, improper temperatures, or pest issues have been reported.
