Give me an A. These Bibb restaurants earn perfect scores on routine health inspections

Most Bibb County restaurants earned “A’s” during the most recent round of routine health inspections, including more than dozen that scored perfect 100s.

Also, eight other restaurants earned “B’s” from July 1-31, according to what’s reported by the Georgia Department of Public Health in the agency’s online search portal. Only one restaurant received a “C” and not a single one scored a failing grade of “U.”

How it works

State health inspectors assign grades based on how many points are deducted from 100, with scores at 69 and below considered failing.

Here’s how the scores break down: “A” for a score between 90 to 100 and denotes “food safety excellence.” “B” for a score between 80 to 89, considered “satisfactory compliance.” “C” for “marginal compliance” based on a score of 70-79. A “U” for “unsatisfactory compliance” is given when a restaurant scores 69 or less.

Restaurant inspections are designed to protect public health. The Telegraph reviews the inspection reports monthly.
