Restaurant & grocery store inspections for June 22

Here are area restaurants and grocery stores with 7 or more priority or critical health code violations, with highlighted links to the original public record reports by city or county health inspectors and the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Links to follow-up inspections are also highlighted.

Restaurants correct most violations at the time of the original inspection or shortly thereafter. Links to the follow-up inspections show how each establishment has corrected or is working to correct any remaining violations.

If an inspection or follow-up report needs clarification, restaurant and grocery store owners can call Joyce Smith at 816-234-4692 or email her at jsmith@kcstar.com. The Star will post appropriate responses online in the same online locations as the original report.

In addition, if a restaurant is temporarily shut down, a comment from the owner will be requested and a more complete description will be included with the online report.

The Kansas Department of Agriculture temporarily shut down:

It had 1 priority violation during a May 14 re-opening inspection when a live roach was found but pest control was on-site at the time. It had 7 priority violations during a May 26 follow-up inspection.

“There is a lot of construction going on, the center is being completely renovated, which appears to have caused some movement and we have hired a new pest control service,” said Gregg Frost, vice president at Hen House.

▪ Fritz’s Railroad Restaurant, 250 N. 18th St., Kansas City, Kan, had 7 priority violations during a May 14 follow-up inspection and was temporarily closed “due to the live roaches in the establishment.” It had 1 priority violation during a follow-up inspection on May 15 when 7 live roaches were found but a pest control provider was on-site and it was allowed to reopen.

“We’ve taken care of the problem,” said Fred Kropf, owner.
