Water leak, room temperature grilled chicken: Chattanooga area restaurant inspection reports for week ending Jan. 6, 2025

The Hamilton County, Catoosa County and Walker County health departments inspect food service establishments twice a year, grading them on a 100-point scale. Establishments are reinspected if they fail to meet critical standards. The scores are original and do not reflect on-the-spot changes, which sometimes lead to upward adjustments.

To file a health-related complaint, call:

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department: 423-209-8110.

Catoosa County Health Department: 706-406-2030.

Walker County Health Department: 706-639-2574.

Scores for the week ending Jan. 6.

76 House of Teriyaki

3805 Cummings Highway

Reasons include: Active managerial control over foodborne illness risk factors was not demonstrated. Employees were consuming beverages from unapproved containers in the prep area. Employee beverages were not stored in a way that minimized possible contamination of food or food contact surfaces. Raw foods were stored too close to cooked and ready-to-eat food products inside the reach-in cooler. Grilled chicken was sitting out at room temperature on the grill cart. Several food items were not properly date-marked. Steamed rice was cooling at room temperature. Wet wiping cloths were stored on working surfaces and not in sanitizer solution. In-use utensils were stored in standing water, and a small cutting board was in poor repair.

87 Mr. Burrito

517 E. M.L. King Blvd.

Reasons include: Sour cream cups in the small glass reach-in cooler were holding above the proper temperature. The chlorine sanitizer for sanitizer buckets was at too high of a concentration. Dried ingredients were stored in non-original containers and were not labeled. Handles were stored in product. Cutting boards were heavily scored, and the cold drawer gaskets were in poor repair.

91 Waffle House

6513 Ringgold Road

Reasons include: The final rinse temperature at the dish machine was below the proper level. Soiled and wet wiping cloths were stored on working surfaces and not in sanitizer solution. The inside of the reach-in cooler was dirty on the cook line, and there was a potable water leak at the dish machine.
