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.
- Hawaiian Island Grill at 1661 Mohawk Blvd. was cited for issues during a county health inspection on July 30. The restaurant received a score of 97 out of 100. The inspector noted that a handwashing sink had been removed from the food preparation and dishwashing area, which is required for employees to wash their hands conveniently. The restaurant was instructed to immediately install a handwashing sink in these areas and prepare a plan to ensure employees wash their hands before handling food or clean dishes. During a follow-up inspection on 7-31-2026, the issue was corrected with an approved handwashing sink now in place. (view report)
