The city of Abilene Environmental Health Division regularly monitors restaurants and food establishments for compliance with state food safety requirements.
Frequent inspections are essential in preventing the spread of foodborne illnesses through contamination and improper handling, storage and sanitation.

Disclaimer: On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than noted in its most recent inspection.
