Every inspection and a 0–100 score for each restaurant, straight from local health departments.
293,079 restaurants across 1,285 cities in 12 states
The bottom of each city's Hall of Shame, among restaurants inspected in the last two years.
We gather the public health inspection reports each city publishes, going back years.
Each inspection starts at 100. A critical violation costs 7 points, a minor one 2, and repeats cost more. A failed inspection counts as 69 at most.
The score averages the five newest routine inspections, weighting the latest highest. After a fail it stays below 70 until the restaurant passes again or 90 days go by.
90 and up is excellent, the 80s good, the 70s fair, and below 70 poor.
