Who earned an A in June? Columbus restaurant inspections include 33 perfect scores

Each month, inspectors from the Georgia Department of Public Health visit restaurants and other establishments in Columbus to ensure proper food-handling and safety practices are followed.

Food inspectors visited over 90 Muscogee County restaurants, lounges, hotels, and other establishments during June.

Among the establishments inspected, 33 earned perfect scores, with 54 also receiving an A. Seven establishments earned a B. One restaurant received a C.

Here is the list of restaurants that scored an A or higher on their food inspections in June.

How the grading works

During inspections, restaurants receive one of four letter grades that are assigned based on how many points are deducted from 100:

  • An A grade, for 90-100 points, means food safety is excellent.
  • A B grade, for 80-89 points, means satisfactory compliance.
  • A C grade, for 70-79 points, means marginal compliance.
  • A U grade, for 69 points or fewer, means unsatisfactory compliance.

Establishments that receive a C or U will have at least one additional routine inspection added in 12 months, according to state law. Earning a B does not necessitate a follow-up inspection.

Residents can find information about all inspections at the Georgia Department of Health’s online portal.
