Crab Temperature Too Low, Undated Food: Vienna Restaurant Inspections

VIENNA, VA — As the Fairfax County Health Department regularly inspects restaurants in the Town of Vienna, we continue to look at the latest inspection results.

The health department's environmental health staff inspect over 5,200 restaurants and other retail food service establishments in Fairfax County and cities of Falls Church and Fairfax to ensure safe food handling practices are followed. This includes proper sanitation, food storage and preparation, and adequate kitchen facilities. Aside from restaurants, staff inspect child care centers, hospitals, school cafeterias, and temporary food service vendors at festivals.

Residents can search for a specific restaurant or browse a map of inspected locations through the online database. The health department cautions residents that multiple inspection reports should be used to evaluate a restaurant rather than a single report.

This week's report focuses on reports in January around the Town of Vienna. See inspection results below, and click on each link to see current and past reports for each restaurant.
