Here are the Columbus restaurants that got perfect scores in April’s health inspections

Only three Muscogee County restaurants that had routine health inspections in April earned lower than an “A” grade, with seven establishments receiving perfect scores.

There were 22 restaurants, lounges and bars inspected in April, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health’s online portal, down from the 37 that were inspected in March. Three Columbus businesses offering food services earned “B’s” and 19 received “A’s” in their routine inspections.

No restaurant in Columbus failed its routine inspection between April 1 and April 30.

Restaurants receive one of four letter grades that are assigned based on how many points are deducted from 100:

• “A” grades mean food safety is excellent is achieved by receiving 90-100 points

• “B’s” are issued when there is “satisfactory compliance” with the business receiving 80-89 points

• “C’s” mean there is marginal compliance and applied to scores between 70-79

• “U’s” represent unsatisfactory compliance and are applied to scores of 69 or less.

Establishments that receive a “C” or “U” food safety grade will have at least one additional routine inspection added in a twelve month period, according to state law.

Here are the health inspection scores from March 2023.
