Medium Risk

The inspection history at Beef Barn is still short, with only two visits logged. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 26, 2024. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around nine violations to closer to four violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “person in charge present, demonstrates knowledge, and performs duties”, which has been cited two times.
