03/28/2016Risk Factor
This visit was made to conduct a complaint inspection regarding a complaint received about a chemical odor in the restaurant. At the time of the visit there was no odor observed in the restaurant dining area nor in the kitchen. The Person in Charge informed me that they conduct regular cleaning of the establishment and at times spray the dining area with Febreeze but not with any other chemicals.
There was water dripping from a vent from the HVAC system in the dining area but repairs were being done at the time of the visit and there was no smell associated with this. A walk through of the entire restaurant and the outside area was conducted with the Person in Charge and there was no indication of any other issue.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns at eric.spring@vdh.virginia.gov or 703 746 4972. Thank you

02/20/2015Risk Factor
This visit was made to conduct a routine food safety evaluation.
Person in charge reported that air curtains will be installed at drive-through windows before next summer to help deter flies. Some flies are still present in the establishment, though they are keeping up with the cleaning and treatment measures discussed during the last complaint investigation.
*Repeat violations are subject to civil penalty*
No violation noted during this evaluation.		10/15/2014Routine
This visit was made to conduct a complaint investigation regarding flies in the establishment. A few flies were observed in the front food prep area, especially near the menu sign. This establishment receives monthly pest control treatment from Paramount, and has UV and sticky fly traps throughout the establishment. The last treatment report from 7/3/2014 (invoice attached to hard copy) shows treatment for flies was received. If problem persists, you may need to increase treatment frequency to bi-weekly.
The drive-through windows in the establishment do not have an air curtain. Small fans can be directed so that air is blowing out of the window, preventing flies from coming in. You should also keep the establishment clean, and free of food debris and soda syrup in the fountain. Trash should be removed promptly. You may also want to add more traps in the front area under the sign (like the discrete tray style trap that you currently have).
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at Lydia Zweimiller, 703-746-4811, lydia.zweimiller@vdh.virginia.gov.
