Restaurant inspections
County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.
- Sharky’s Pub at 4221 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on February 11. The restaurant scored 87 out of 100. The inspector found residue on the ice machine and buildup under kitchen equipment, requiring more frequent cleaning. Some foods in the bar refrigerator were stored at unsafe temperatures and were discarded; overcrowding in the fridge will be reduced. A spray bottle with toxic chemicals was unlabeled but was labeled during the inspection. Scoops were stored improperly with handles in food and must be kept above the food. Some equipment and utensils were damaged and need repair or replacement. A plumbing hose was improperly stored but corrected on-site. The kitchen floor is worn and needs repair. (view report)
