Wow! I really dont understand why restaurant managers dont react to this much sooner than later to take care of. Even the crew should step up and say “Hey boss, look at this, this is not okay, we have to close the restaurant.” Health is the number one priority. With my (over 7 years) restaurant experience. Managers must step up if they are going to stay in business. High standards and cleanliness lacks sooo much in restaurants its a bit obnoxious and ridiculous.
One bad health report and I’m done. If I’ve never been, I will make sure I now never go. Why is it so hard for these places to keep a clean facility?
I agree. The owners and management didn’t care about sanitation before, they only care when they get caught. So they’ll do the bare minimum that they need to do to reopen, then forget about it until the next time the health inspector comes around.
Some restaurant owners must be too cheap to hire a professional exterminator. The rats are winning. Rats spread infectious disease!
This is the same location that Mint was in isn’t it? Didn’t they shut down after repeated violations?
I just drove by and they’re open…are they allowed to do that?
Lauren it was listed as reopened the next day
