210 E FIREWEED LN , ANCHORAGE AK 99503
The most recent inspection only flagged paperwork/administrative issues—missing written employee health policy, no menu disclosure for undercooked burgers, and no test strips (though sanitizer levels were actually fine when checked). No violations involved actual unsafe temperatures, contamination, or pest activity, and the prior inspection had no issues at all.
