The most recent inspection found two issues—an employee handling cooked burger patties with bare hands and missing signed health-policy forms—but both were corrected immediately on site (patties discarded, forms signed) and there were no signs of pest activity, temperature abuse, or ongoing contamination. These were quickly fixed lapses rather than systemic food-safety risks, so it should be fine to eat here.
