In June

History:Β Since the early 2000s, the chain location has largely received inspection ratings of good and excellent, though it did earn a needs-improvement in 2002. This was its first failed inspection.

What the inspector saw:Β The inspector saw five priority violations, the minimum for a failing probationary rating. Those included the person-in-charge being unable to answer basic food safety questions, inadequate sanitizing of trays, a cooler not reducing temperatures quickly enough or keeping foods below mandated temperatures. The restaurant was temporarily closed due to β€œimminent health hazards” stemming from the cold-holding issues.

Follow-up:Β The restaurant passed a follow-up inspection on July 6.

Response:Β A message requesting comment was not returned by deadline.
