A lot of city areas have nasty upkeep. It don't matter who owns it, if it is less than a 5 star eating experience, they are bound to be breaking health code laws. This is seen more so in cheap and fast food places. I don't eat out much these days. I find places I know are clean and I know hire good staff and I stick with those. As of now, I have maybe 5 places I will get take out from.
