Routine inspection conducted at the facility on 05/20/2026 due to a potential illness complaint. The facility has several certified food protection managers, employee illness reporting agreement policy, and a procedure to respond to norovirus/bodily fluid cleanup. Complaint is UNVERIFIABLE at this time. Complainant consumed chicken nuggets and a double cheeseburger. During the time of inspection burgers observed being cooked and hot held well above 155 degrees F. Chicken nuggets are held for 30 minutes, and timers were being utilized as intended. Staff observed wearing gloves when handling burgers and toppings.
