3 MS Coast restaurants fail health inspection. Popular fast-food eatery fails for 4th time
Three restaurants in Harrison County fail their recent inspections by the Mississippi Health Department, some with the same violation as they were cited for at their previous inspection.
They include:
Subway at 11240 U.S. 49, Gulfport, was inspected Sept. 25 for a permit. It was cited for:
▪ Improper eating, tasting, drinking or tobacco use, a repeat violation
▪ Toxic substance improperly identified, stored or used, repeat offense
▪ No certified manager
The restaurant has four Cs since 2011, all of them in the last four years. It also was cited for no certified manager when it failed in April 2024 and in September 2022.
Reno’s Sports Bar, 9994 Rodriguez St., D’Iberville, was inspected Sept. 8 for a permit renewal. It was cited for:
▪ Food contact surface not cleaned and sanitized, a repeat violation
▪ Toxic substance not properly identified, stored and used, repeat violation
This was the second C since 2020, with the prior C in June 2023.
Jazzeppi’s Lounge at 195 Porter Ave., Biloxi, was inspected Sept. 16 for a permit renewal. It was cited for:
▪ Hot and cold water not available with adequate pressure
Corrected during the inspection was:
▪ Food contact surface not cleaned and sanitized
This was the first C dating back to 2008, according to the health department report..
Restaurants and kitchens in Mississippi are rated “A” if they pass the health department inspection, “B” if all violations are corrected during the inspection and “C” if the violations are critical.
The health inspection grade must be displayed in all restaurants, in kitchens such as school cafeterias, day care centers, and cafes and bars where food is sold.
Since Sept. 1, the report shows 217 restaurants and kitchens in South Mississippi passed their inspection with an A and 35 with a B. Five failed with a C.
