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.
- Giant Burger at 3760 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on December 18. The restaurant scored 73 out of 100 due to several issues. There was no designated person in charge at all times, employees ate and stored personal food improperly, and handwashing sinks were misused. Raw eggs were stored above ready-to-eat foods but were corrected. The dishwasher sanitizer was initially too weak but fixed during inspection. The menu lacked proper warnings about undercooked foods. Toxic materials and rodent bait were improperly stored but corrected. Clean items were stored on the floor, and equipment and facility areas had dirt, food residue, and clutter that need regular cleaning and removal. (view report)

Note on today’s report: Some of the incidents listed are not recent. This can happen for a couple of reasons: Delays in agency reporting — sometimes officials don’t file reports right away, or agencies release batches of reports weeks later. Delays in public complaints — people may not notice or decide to contact police until some time after an incident. Please contact the responsible law-enforcement agency or your local elected officials if you have concerns about their delay in releasing information.
