Culver’s (April)

3070 S. Campbell Ave.

  • History: Since opening in August 2014, the restaurant has received all “excellent” ratings on its three health inspections.
  • What the inspector saw: The restaurant received a “probationary” rating during an April 20 inspection, when the inspector observed five critical violations. Soup and gravy were not being held at hot enough temperatures, and a container of pastrami sitting on the counter was above a safe holding temperature. “Several employees observed moving from cleaning tasks to handling food, touching contaminated surfaces, without washing hands and changing gloves,” the report said. In addition, a spray bottle of stainless steel cleaner was being stored above open containers of fish.
  • Follow-up: Passed April 29.
  • Response: “Our guests should be assured that the infractions in question were corrected at the time of the inspection,” said owner Kyle Kolsrud via email. “At Culver’s, we take issues regarding food safety, quality, cleanliness, service and hospitality very seriously and have taken steps to ensure these incidents do not occur again.”
