Sponsor Our ArticlesHey there, Memphis food lovers! It’s time to check in on our local dining scene with the latest restaurant inspection scores. Each week, we’re bringing you the highs and lows from the Shelby County restaurant inspections, so you can stay informed about where to grab a bite and where to think twice. Grab your favorite snack and let’s dive in!
Located at 2063 East Brooks Road, Fabulous Flavors & Friends Diner scored a decent 82, but there are some concerns to chew on. Violations included some not-so-pleasant storage practices with raw fish and chicken stacked above desserts. Yikes! And if you need to wash your hands, it seems they’re missing soap and paper towels at the handsink. Also, keep an eye on their microwave—it’s in need of a deep clean. The clutter behind the counter, unlabeled seasonings, and damaged ceilings do not add to the diner’s charm. Hopefully, they’ll spruce things up soon!
Margaritas of Cordova, found at 1805 North Germantown Parkway, wasn’t exactly spicy with their score of 83. Violations kicked off with an empty sanitizer in the dishwasher—a big no-no in food safety. There was a little rust on their can opener, and it seems the cooking manager forgot to wash their hands after being outside! Not the best look, right? Plus, key and towel were spotted near the microwave—yikes! The deli refrigerator wasn’t at the right cool temp, and the kitchen could benefit from a good sweep and mop. Here’s hoping they clean up their act!
Over at McAlister’s Deli, 7990 Trinity Road Ste. #129, they earned a score of 84. But hold on, there’s mildew buildup on the wall of their automatic dishwasher, which might rain on their parade a little. An ice machine with residue and flies buzzing around the kitchen are major red flags. Also, no paper towels at the handsink? Come on! The men’s restroom isn’t winning any awards either—time to give that toilet seat a good clean and mop the floors. Fingers crossed they tackle these issues!
At Neely’s Interstate BBQ located at 7209 Winchester Road, they also received a score of 84. The inspection report revealed some disturbing details—drink dispensers with black residue, a dishwasher that’s not doing its job, and utensils stored in food. There’s also a slight odor in the men’s restroom and some stained walls throughout the kitchen. The facility even had an expired permit! Here’s hoping they can ramp up their BBQ game soon.
Moe’s Hot Wings, at 5910 Mt. Moriah, Ste. 104, scores yet again with a 85. However, flies adding to the meal vibes might not be what customers were hoping for. The ice machine has black residue, and one employee wasn’t wearing a hair restraint—yikes! There’s excessive grease in the ventilation system of the fryers and the cooling units could definitely use a wipe down. Let’s hope they get things cleaned up because we all love good wings!
With the restaurant scene constantly evolving, knowing these scores helps you navigate your dining adventures. And remember, inspections are just one piece of the puzzle! Always support your local favorites while keeping an eye out for cleanliness and safety. Whether you’re craving BBQ, burgers, or a hot cup of coffee, dig in responsibly!
