Dunkin’ Donuts, Subway, and Vargas Mexican did well during their recent health inspections. Captain Hirams leads with most violations, but they significantly improved since their previous inspection.
It seems the busier a restaurant is, the more violations. There were no restaurant shutdowns by the state health inspector. One of the main reasons for conducting restaurant inspections is to educate staff and management on food safety and to make sure they comply.
