Local Restaurant Inspection Reports

See the latest reports from the Virginia Department of Health.

In the last four weeks these area restaurants were cited for "critical violations" by the Virginia Department of Health:

  • Cosmopolitan Grill: 1 critical violation, 2 non-critical violations
  • Denny's: 1 critical violation, 2 non-critical violations
  • Moe's Southwest Grill: 1 critical violation, 0 non-critical violations
  • Pizza Hut: 3 critical violations, 4 non-critical violations
  • Shane's Rib Shack: 3 critical violations, 2 non-critical violations

What's a 'Critical Violation'?

A "critical violation" is one that "poses a direct or immediate threat to the safety of the food being served."  Non-critical violations are generally related to cleaning or maintenance.

"Ideally, an operation would have no critical violations, or none which are not corrected immediately and not repeated. In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to VDH's website.

The site continues: "Keep in mind that any inspection report is a 'snapshot' of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a restaurant could have fewer or more violations than noted in the report. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term cleanliness of an establishment."
