BRDHD Health Environmentalists inspect food service establishments twice each year, plus follow-up inspections and response to complaints from the public as needed.  Of their 44-item checklist, 13 of the items are designated “critical violations”.  These items cover major food safety issues, such as assuring proper hand washing and maintaining proper temperatures for foods.  These violations must be corrected within 10 days.   Restaurants scoring below 85 with only "non-critical violations" have 30 days to take corrective action. 

The health department may close a restaurant if:

●If the rating score is below 60
●If it is consistently noncompliant
Some of the violations, such as loss of water supply, loss of refrigeration or sewage back-up, cause a serious public health hazard
If an inspector is threatened or subjected to physical or verbal abuse
If the restaurant refuses to allow an inspection

The restaurant can be reopened as soon as the problem is fixed.  However, if the restaurant wants a conference, one will be held within 7 days.

The establishments flagged in bold green font indicate they reported that 100% of their seats were dedicated as non-smoking and that smoking was not allowed anywhere inside their facility.   Updated July, 2006.  If you would like to add a facility, please contact us.

If you have concerns about a facility, please contact the environmentalist at your local health department
