Phoenix Restaurant Inspection Failures - Beware!

Restaurants With Poor Inspection Results in July 2012

One of our worst offenders in July had a violation noted by the inspector that included the following: "I was unable to locate a single item with a datemark in the entire establishment." and "High chairs have thick black build-up all over." Dirt and grime was a constant theme here. Yuk.

This list represents those restaurants (not schools, caterers, corporate cafeterias, bakeries or other food processing businesses) that had five or more Risk Factor violations -- those that are considered a risk for foodborne illness -- during their last inspection. A restaurant that had that many Risk Factors noted would be one that I'd avoid, at least until they had subsequent inspections showing more understanding of safe food preparation standards and concern for their patrons.

Here is the list of those restaurants in Maricopa County which had five or more Risk Factors Violations on their last inspection, with the worst at the top of the list. After you peruse the worst, please take a look at the many Phoenix area restaurants that achieved perfect inspections during the month of July 2012. Those are arranged by zip code, for your convenience. They deserve our support and our business.
