No Fort Worth restaurants close but sushi place needs followup after health inspections
No restaurants were closed, but one of the 88 restaurants inspected between Sept. 25 and Oct. 1 scored poorly enough to require a followup after health inspectors visited, according to data from the city compiled by the Star-Telegram.
Inspectors said Sushi Axiom on Donnelly Avenue would have to undergo a followup inspection after it received 33 demerits on Sept. 28. Inspectors in the initial visit noted violations including unsafe food, black residue in the ice machine and improper food storage.
A different location, Sushi Axiom Hibachi and Bar on South Freeway, received a score of 49 on Sept. 20 and passed its followup on Sept. 23 with a score of 29.
Restaurants receiving more than 30 demerits are required to fix the worst problems immediately and clean up the rest within 48 hours. A score of zero is considered perfect in Fort Worth’s demerit system.
Riscky’s Barbecue on Main Street had to undergo a followup inspection after scoring a 32 on Sept. 22. Riscky’s scored 10 demerits in the followup.
Four restaurants scored 25 demerits or higher:
- Sushi Axiom, 4625 Donnelly Ave., 33
- Panchitos Taqueria, 3714 Decatur Ave., 28
- Mexico Real, 5613 McCart Ave., 25
- Wicked Butcher, 512 Main St., 25
Six restaurants scored perfect scores:
- 3F Premier Catering
- 3rd Street Market
- Big Boyz Pit BBQ and More
- Pin Ups Cabaret
- Pluckers Wing Bar Cityview
- Whataburger at 955 N. Beach St.
