The interior of Romeo's Vegan Burgers, now under scrutiny after receiving a B health inspection grade.
Romeo’s Vegan Burgers in South Charlotte has unexpectedly received a ‘B’ health inspection grade due to numerous violations. The March 12 inspection revealed concerns such as pest presence, moldy food items, and improper food storage practices. This grade represents a significant drop in sanitation standards for the eatery, leaving patrons concerned about food safety. The community is now watching closely to see how the restaurant addresses these issues and if they can regain their coveted ‘A’ grade in future inspections.
In the heart of South Charlotte, food lovers flock to Romeo’s Vegan Burgers at 5518 South Blvd., known for its stylish vegan menu and tasty plant-based options. However, it seems the restaurant has hit a rough patch, recently receiving a less-than-stellar “B” grade for health violations from the Mecklenburg County Health Department.
The inspection took place on March 12, 2025, and with a score of 88.5%, it marked the first time this popular eatery has been handed a “B” grade. This certainly comes as a surprise to many, as patrons have enjoyed their meals, blissfully unaware of the issues lurking behind the kitchen doors.
So, what exactly led to this troubling grade? Let’s break it down. The health inspectors discovered:
For context, the Mecklenburg County sanitation grades database reported that during the inspection week of March 7-13 alone, at least 145 restaurant inspections were conducted. To add to the saga, Romeo’s Vegan Burgers was the only establishment in that timeframe to earn a score below the coveted “A” grade, which requires a minimum score of 90%.
It’s important to remember that sanitation grades in North Carolina are not merely for show; these grades are a vital part of ensuring food safety and preventing food-borne illnesses. Under state law, restaurants receiving a score below 70% risk losing their health permits entirely. What would that mean for our beloved Romeo’s?
As the news of the “B” grade spreads, the community is keeping a close eye on Romeo’s Vegan Burgers. Will they bounce back and earn that coveted “A” grade next time around? Or will they struggle to keep customers coming through the door after this disappointing inspection?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure—patrons will likely think twice before taking their next trip to this burger haven. Stay tuned for updates as we track how Romeo’s addresses these issues moving forward!
