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.
- Lucky Lous Deli at 4215 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on May 27. The restaurant scored 97 out of 100. The inspector noted that soap was missing at the women’s restroom handwashing sink, but it was added during the inspection. The restroom doors lack self-closing mechanisms and need repair or replacement. Additionally, the kitchen lighting is too dim, especially in areas where knives are used, and must be increased to meet state safety standards. (view report)
