Is this place Kosher?

These places are run by non-jews but have a sink for berkat hamazone and a sign that states which rabbi supervises it. They are owned by non-jews and open on Saturday, however, most(but not all) of the religious community accepts them as Kosher.

But who watches to make sure that nothing unkosher is taking place on Shabbat?

thank you!
Now from someone like me who is less observant, if i wanted to take someone to an authetically kosher restaurant, it woudl have to be some place that was not opened on Shabbat.

Where are the qualifications for the mashgiach defined? The two Dunkin' Donuts places in Baltimore are accepted by most of the orthodox community as Kosher.

NOT true. If the owner is Gentile some Hashkachot allow it to be open on Sabbath.

i don't know, but if i were looking for an authentic kosher restaurant, I woudl hope that the restaurant were closed on Shabbat even if owned by a gentile..and if owned by a gentile, the rabbi should be there..and if the rabbi can't be there on Shabbat when the restaurant is open, I will be questioning its authenticity. Quite frankly, if one wants to build a fence, this is a good one to build it on in my opinion.
