ALEXANDRIA, VA — The latest restaurant inspections are posted for Old Town Alexandria restaurants up to June 22, and there's a mix of restaurants with violations and no violations.

The Alexandria Health Department's environmental health specialist regularly inspects restaurants and other food service establishments around the city. Each food service establishment gets at least one inspection per year, but the frequency of inspections is based on the type of food prepared and how it is prepared, according to the Virginia Department of Health inspection database. Inspections may be routine visits, follow-up inspections, training inspections, pre-opening inspections, or risk assessment or complaint inspections.

Reports are typically available a week after the inspection. Residents can search for a specific restaurant or browse a map of inspected locations through the online database.

In recent inspections, Southside 815 had 13 violations during a routine inspection. The inspector discussed corrective actions to take, and a follow-up inspection will be scheduled to check the walk-in cooler is operating at a proper temperature.
