Who publishes this, and what they sell. This guide is published by Viking Net, which sells technology services to restaurants — websites, apps, point-of-sale systems and card processing — including to businesses rated on this site. Every rating here is computed by a formula published in full from public records: health inspections, city 311 complaints, published awards, and the state sales-tax permit date. No business can pay to change its score, raise its rank, or have a low score removed, and none has ever been asked to. If that ever changes, this paragraph comes down first.

Food was cooled the wrong way

Deep covered containers hold heat in the middle for hours. Cooling has to be done in shallow pans, an ice bath, or a blast chiller.

“french fries cooling while uncovered, exposing them to potential contamination. Ensure food containers in which food is being cooled are loosely covered or otherwise arranged so that they cannot be contaminated.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 3-501.15(B) — Cooling Methods · inspection item 39

Pests

An outer door, window or gap was not sealed against pests

A propped back door or a gap under a door is the single most common way roaches, flies and rodents get in.

“The back exit door was not self-closing. Ensure all doors to the outside of the establishment are self-closing.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 6-202.15(D) — Outer Openings, Protected · inspection item 34

Cleanliness

Equipment or utensils were not clean

Split into two standards: anything that touches food must be clean to sight and touch, and everything else must be free of built-up grease, dust and debris. This is the most cited line in the whole code.

“rust from a magnetic strip contaminating a clean knife. Ensure food-contact surfaces are clean to sight and touch.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

Food Code 4-601.11(A) — Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils · inspection item 10

What these numbers do and do not mean

An inspection score describes one visit on one day. It is what one inspector recorded on one date at one address — Metro Health says so itself. It is not a standing condition, not a grade for the food, and not a prediction about your lunch. A kitchen that scored 88 in March may be spotless today, and one that scored 100 may not be.

A 311 complaint is a phone call, not a finding. The city records that a member of the public called. It is not a citation, not an investigation result, and not evidence that anything was wrong. The city files it against an address, so where two food businesses share one, neither the record nor we can tell them apart. We publish the count with its denominator and let you weigh it.

Awards are reported, not endorsed. Every recognition on this site carries its publisher, its year and a link to the page we read it on. We did not judge those contests and we do not vouch for them; where a publisher named a business rather than an address, the page says so.

Absence of data is never rendered as a finding. No inspection on record means no Bird Score — never a zero, never quietly ranked last. No award found means we searched 172 recognitions from 13 publishers and found none, which is a statement about press coverage and not about cooking.

If something here is wrong, we will fix it. Every figure links to the record it came from. Email us with the correction and we will check it against the source and correct it within 48 hours, whether or not you are a customer. How to request a correction.
