Low Risk

The health department has logged 26 inspections at Super Tasty Sub, the earliest from 2010. Super Tasty Sub was last inspected on Aug 25, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around one violation to closer to three violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited 10 times.

The city-wide average is 81, putting Super Tasty Sub squarely in typical territory. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
