This week, we are posting some of the lowest restaurant health score across the county. An explanation of the scores is below.
Low Scores- By Area
Here are some of the lowest scores in each area of the county according to the health department’s latest report:
Business | Score |
---|---|
O' Charley's - Brentwood | 89 (Not Passing)* |
Sicilian Pizza & Pasta - Brentwood | 84 (Not Passing)* |
Fullins Asian Cuisine - Brentwood | 78 (Not Passing)* |
Shoney's - Franklin | 90 |
Lenny's Sub Shop - Franklin | 92 |
Logan's Roadhouse - Spring Hill | 83 (Not Passing)* |
Super China Buffet - Spring Hill | 85 (Not Passing)* |
Los Arcos - Nolensville Pike | 81 (Not Passing)* |
Dos Margaritas - Fairview | 96 |
Country Cafe - Fairview | 95 |
*Businesses listed as “Not Passing” may have had a score above 90 on follow up inspection, however those scores are not currently available from the Health Department
Quick note: A business needs to have a score of 90 to be considered “passing.” If inspectors give a place a score below 90, they will give the business a chance to pass in a re-inspection shortly afterward. To stay open- and serving food at all- the place must make at least a 90 in the follow up. So it might help to think of these scores as on a scale not out of 100 but out of 10, from 91-100. That is not exactly correct, because a 90 is still a 90, but a 90 is the lowest score a place can have that is considered in the industry to be passing.
Inspections are once every six months, once between January 1 and June 30 and once between July 1 and December 31 of each year.
Info: There are two types of violations- critical and non-critical. According to the Tennessee Department of Health web site:
“Critical Violations: Violations of the Food Regulations, which, if left uncorrected, are more likely than other violations to directly contribute to food contamination or illness. Examples of critical violations include poor temperature control of food, improper cooking, cooling, refrigeration, or reheating temperatures.
“Non-Critical Violations: Violations not directly related to the cause of food-borne illness, but if uncorrected, could impede the operation of the restaurant. The likelihood of food-borne illness in these cases is very low. Non-Critical violations, if left uncorrected, could lead to Critical violations. Examples of non-critical violations include a lack of facility cleanliness and maintenance.”
