Three Onondaga County restaurants fail latest health inspections

Inspectors found sushi at unsafe temperatures and cans of sauce with damaged seals at Flaming Grill & Buffet, one of three Onondaga County restaurants that failed health inspections during the June 21 to June 27 window. The other failed establishments were the Neat Whiskey Bar Corp mobile unit at 6706 East Seneca Turnpike in Jamesville and Neat Whiskey Bar Corp at the same Jamesville address.

Flaming Grill & Buffet drew 11 violations, three of them critical. Inspectors found four cans of Hosin sauce with severe dents on their lid seals, which the county treated as food from an unapproved or adulterated source. They also found several plates of raw and cooked sushi rolls on a cold-holding buffet between 47 and 71 degrees Fahrenheit, far above the temperature range the county uses for safe refrigerated storage. The facility had a waiver to use time as public health control for the sushi items, but no log was being used. After the temperature problem was identified, staff discarded multiple trays of sushi.

Inspectors also found an oil-and-garlic mixture at 59 degrees on a speed rack at the cook line, and that product was discarded. Other violations at the North Syracuse restaurant included unlabeled squeeze bottles, food stored unprotected, corroded equipment and wet plastic drink cups at service stations.

The two Jamesville failures were Neat Whiskey Bar Corp mobile unit and Neat Whiskey Bar Corp, both listed at 6706 East Seneca Turnpike.

Onondaga County’s restaurant-inspection information is part of the New York State Department of Health dataset, updated monthly and running back to 2005. The county’s public inspection page calls the checks snapshots in time, and its code definitions cover violations such as food from an unapproved source, improper cooling of potentially hazardous food and inadequate refrigerated storage below 45 degrees. The dataset was last updated June 29, 2026.
