Lexington restaurant inspections: Roaches, raw sewage, dirty hands & 8 closures

The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department has released an updated list of more than 150 restaurants that are under enhanced regulatory enforcement. And at least eight local establishments were closed by the health department since November.

The health department’s enhanced enforcement list, formerly known as probation, has been growing: There were only 114 establishments on the list in November.

Since Oct. 25, at least 88 food service establishments have been added to the health department’s list for heightened scrutiny designed to protect the dining public from food-borne illness.

The Fayette County Health Department does not flag on inspection scores which restaurants are on the watch list or post full restaurant inspection reports on its website. The Herald-Leader obtained the detailed list and individual reports through an open records request, but the health department limited the number of reports due to staffing constraints.

Restaurants come off the list once they have twice passed inspections with no significant issues.

At least 49 establishments came off the list since November after successful passing repeated inspections.

Establishments that came off the watch list since November include China Buffet, Al’s Bar, Asian Bistro, Athens Food Mart, Burnaco’s, Cafe Rodriguez, Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital, Centeno’s Munchiez, Clark’s Pump-N-Shop on Newtown Pike, Clark’s Pump-N-Shop on Versailles Road, Corelife Eatery, Crestwood Christian Childcare Center, Crossroads IGA on Georgetown Road, Curry House, Divas Gentlemens Club, Domino’s on Pimlico Parkway, El Cid on Limestone (which has closed), Garden Springs Market, The Goose Lexington, Jason’s Deli, Joe’s Market, Lexington Courtyard, Little Caesar’s Pizza on Walden Drive, Logan’s Roadhouse, Los Hermanos Market, Mama Tequila, Marathon Food Mart on Russell Cave Road, Marathon Mart on North MLK Blvd., Nefertiti, Oasis Mediterranean Cafe, Old Vine Bistro, Panera Bread on Palmar Centre Drive, Rally’s on Georgetown Road, Shell Estepp’s Food Mart Deli, Sir Pizza on West New Circle Road, Sir Pizza on South Broadway Place, Speedway on Winchester Road, Subway on Waller Avenue, Subway on Nicholasville, Super Mercado Aguascalientes at 459 W. New Circle, Super Mercado Aguascalientes at 1424 Alexandria Dr., Sweet Creations Bakery & Events, Taqueria San Marcos, The Press Juice Bar & Cafe, Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen on Palomar Center Dr., Waffle House at 1000 Georgetown Rd., Winburn Cafe, Winburn Mini Mart, and Wing Zone on Southland Drive.

All of Lexington’s nearly 1,500 food service establishments, from daycares to hospitals to grocery stores to restaurants, are inspected at least twice a year and most pass without significant problems. Last year, hundreds scored a perfect 100, many more than once.

Restaurants and food service establishments are required to post their most recent scores at the front door; scores in green boxes indicate passage and scores in red indicate failure. Those that score below 60 are closed until issues are remedied. All inspection scores are available online at the Lexington health department’s web site.

How Lexington restaurants are inspected by the Health Department

After a pause at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department in 2021 resumed the key public health measure.

Restaurant inspectors place restaurants that fail on critical points on a watch list. The “enhanced regulatory enforcement” comes with a stepped-up inspection schedule designed to catch potential problems earlier.

The measure, previously known as the probation list, restarted in August 2020. The Board of Health voted in September 2021 to update food service regulations to formally include the program.

Restaurants are placed on the list when they score below 85, “failed” a significant inspection point or if they are required to be closed due to imminent health hazard such as raw sewage, evidence of rodent or insect infestations or a lack of electricity.

Problems that constitute a failure are those deemed by the Food & Drug Administration to have the highest potential to affect the public health adversely, such as a improper food handling, lack of hand-washing or improper dish sanitizing.

Luke Mathis, environmental health team leader, said last year that the intent of enhanced regulatory enforcement is “identifying establishments that are struggling with food safety compliance and providing additional monitoring.”

The hope, he said, is that the more inspectors are there, the quicker they will spot things that need to be changed “and through education help them get into compliance.”

“The overall goal of the program is to improve public safety, sanitary and hygiene practices within these establishments, so the public will feel safe eating out,” said Skip Castleman, Environmental Health and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. “All of our placards are still posted at these establishments, so they have a means of looking to see if a restaurant has passed or failed. With a green placard, they’ve passed; with a red placard, they’ve failed. And they can also look on our website too, before they go out to eat.”

Typically, food service establishments are inspected every six months. With enhanced enforcement, inspectors come every four months, Mathis said. Restaurants come off the enhanced enforcement when they pass regular inspections without significant issues twice in a row.

Generally, restaurants that are in the enhanced enforcement program are safe to eat at or the health department would have closed them down.

Inspections highlight risk for public health

Inspections are a snapshot of a restaurant or food-service establishment at a particular time but Mathis said the watch list allows inspectors to target places most likely to be a risk for public health.

He said they hope the number of restaurants in the program stays low. In February 2020, before the pandemic, there were 172 restaurants or food service providers on the health department’s list.

This full watch list as of June 6, includes some details of the most recent inspections that landed restaurants on the list. Names in bold are new additions to the list. Inspection scores listed are the latest available on the health department’s database, which was last updated April 13, 2023.
