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.

• Cascade Biscuit Kitchen at 330 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on June 25. The restaurant received a score of 95 out of 100. The inspector noted that some potentially hazardous foods were stored above safe temperatures, specifically hash at 52°F and butter at 50°F, which were corrected by discarding the hash and chilling the butter. The tabletop prep cooler needs repair or relocation. Additionally, there was a build-up of grease on the deep fryer skillet and dirt on the floor and walls, which need to be cleaned more frequently. The restaurant will be re-inspected in 14 days to ensure compliance. (view report)
