Of the dozen Maricopa eateries inspected by Pinal County May 16-June 15, all but one received top marks.

True Grit Tavern had a problem with proper cold holding, according to the inspector’s report. A prep refrigerator that should hold food under 41 degrees F had raw hamburger at 60F, and turkey and ham at 56F to 60F. The items were discarded.
