Popular Strip District Eatery Hit With Consumer Alert

PITTSBURGH, PA - The Allegheny County Health Department has issued a consumer alert for the popular Smallman Galley, a restaurant incubator on 21st Street in the Strip District with four rotating eateries.

Inspectors found a live mouse on a trap in the basement and extensive droppings in the basement dry storage area and upstairs kitchen. A product was found chewed with rodent droppings present on the packaging and a large number of droppings were found on canned goods.

Inspectors also found a hand-washing sink between two of the four restaurants - Saltry and Home - was blocked and inaccessible. Additionally, no soap or paper towels were available.

Saltry and Home also were found to have food that was not being stored or cooled properly, both high-risk violations. Additionally, rinse temperatures in a dish washing machine were found to be too low.
