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.
- Burrito Amigos at 2525 Olympic St., passed a county health inspection on March 11 with no issues. (view report)
- Abby’s Legendary Pizza at 2053 Olympic St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on March 11. The restaurant scored 95 out of 100. The inspector found a hose stored below the mop sink’s water level, which was immediately to prevent contamination. Both restrooms had a sulfur smell due to poor ventilation, so ventilation needs to be improved to remove odors. Lighting in the walk-in refrigerator and freezer was too dim and must be increased to meet safety standards. (view report)
- Hole In The Wall BBQ at 1807 Olympic St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on March 11. The restaurant scored out of 100. Issues found include a leaking hot water heater at the outdoor handwashing sink, uncovered spice containers, residue on the ice machine, missing proper consumer advisory on raw or undercooked foods, broken or missing thermometers in refrigerators, unsafe use of copper mugs with acidic drinks, ice buildup and broken gaskets in refrigeration equipment, cracked or damaged plastic containers, broken floor tiles, and insufficient lighting in the walk-in freezer. The restaurant must fix these problems immediately, including repairing equipment, improving cleaning, adding proper food safety notices, and ensuring adequate lighting and safe materials.
