“We care about running a clean, professional establishment,” he said.
The eatery was cited for having a “heavy debris buildup” on its soda nozzles and a greasy hood vent above the grills and stove.
The bottom of a table in the kitchen was rusted, the inspector noted.

Hodges said he was going to sand off the rust, seal it and re-paint it.
“I can’t say enough how much we take this to heart, how much I take it to heart,” Hodges said.
The pub earned a 95 in December 2016 and a 100 in March of that year.
Follow-up inspections are usually done within 10 days of the original evaluation.
