Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-5-402.13 - Priority: Conveying Sewage

Addl Notes: At the outdoor cooking area, the handwashing sink drain pipe and the attached grease trap were leaking onto the floor when the handwashing sink is turned on. Employees do not have a directly accessible handwashing sink in the outdoor cooking area that does not drain onto the floor. Due to the hazard to the environment and the inability for employees to wash hands without contaminating the environment, the outdoor cooking area will cease food handling operations. Until the drain pipe and grease trap is repaired, the outdoor cooking area cannot be used for food handling. All hot dogs, burgers, and other foods must be cooked and packaged in the main kitchen. The outdoor cooking area can be used to hot hold the pre-packaged foods that have been prepared in the main kitchen. This means pre-packaged foods, hot holding, and sold directly to the consumer with no other assembly or preparation. Inspector will follow up in 3 business days. Until inspector has approved the repairs onsite, food handling operations cannot be conducted in that area. Please have the drainpipe and grease trap repaired prior to re-inspection on 4/1/2026. Corrective Action: Correct prior to re-inspection.

"A" for Food Safety

Through our grading system, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department provides at-a-glance indications of how food establishments perform during food safety inspections. This system is designed to grade food establishments in terms of food safety requirements and provide recognition to those who choose to participate.

How does it work?

The issuance of grade cards to food establishments is based on voluntary participation. The person in charge, who is present during the inspection, will be asked whether they would like to participate in the Grading System. This will be decided prior to each inspection. If an establishment does not participate in the Grading System, Not Participating or NP will appear on the inspection report, and the inspection will still occur. If an establishment does participate, a grade of A, B, C, or D will be determined at the conclusion of the inspection using the Grading System chart below. Participating establishments will then be provided with a grade card that can be posted in the establishment. The status of the establishment’s grade will also appear on the Restaurant Ratings page of the department’s website.

How can I determine the grade?

The Grading System chart can be used to determine grades earned for establishments that do not participate. Grades are determined by the number of Priority and Priority Foundation violations received at the time of inspection. Violation types are defined in general terms below.

Definitions

Priority Violation
Major violation that directly contributes to increasing the risk of foodborne illness or injury (e.g. Food employees do not properly wash hands when required).
Priority Foundation Violation
Minor violation that does not directly contribute to an increased risk of foodborne illness but failure to correct this violation may lead to the occurrence of a priority violation. For example, hand washing soap and paper towels not available at hand wash sink (may lead directly to food employees not properly washing hands when required).
Core Violation
Minor violation that relates to general maintenance and sanitation (e.g. No sign reminding employees to wash hands).
Cutting Edge Program
All county food-related establishments can partner with Maricopa County to implement a proactive approach to reducing foodborne illness risk factors by implementing food safety systems that include policies, training, and verification processes. Partners enrolled in the Cutting Edge Program receive an A+ when an A is earned.
