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.
- Steve’s Breakfast & More at 117 S 14th St. was cited for issues during a county health inspection on April 8. The restaurant scored 71 out of 100 due to several issues. Paper towels were missing at a handwashing sink but were restocked during inspection. A worker was improperly reusing gloves but corrected this immediately.

Toxic materials like weed killer were improperly stored but removed. Chemical containers were unlabeled but fixed on site. Rodent bait was unsecured and discarded.
