Vienna Restaurant Inspections: Flies And 8 Other Violations

Do you know how clean your local restaurants are? Town of Vienna and other 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 full results for the latest inspections around Vienna and Oakton, including restaurants that passed with no violations. Of note, Burger 7 had nine violations, including fruit flies. A follow-up inspection was scheduled for Sept. 20, but results are not posted at this time.
