Burke Area Restaurant Inspections: Warm Coleslaw

Fairfax County restaurants regularly undergo health inspections, with the frequency depending on the type of food served and how it is prepared. While violations like malfunctioning refrigerators and food that's not warm or cold enough often pop up, health inspectors sometimes note more critical violations.

“In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," notes the Virginia Department of Health.

Here are the full results from recent inspections in and around Burke and Springfield, including restaurants that passed with no violations. Among these was warm coleslaw and three other violations at Coco Rico in Springfield. This violation was corrected during the inspection.

Corrected violations are noted. Click on the violations to see each restaurant's results. Full reports are usually available five to seven days after the inspection on the health department’s website.
