Know before you go.

A

Excellent. Top marks — the latest inspection found no serious issues, or few enough to earn the health department's best band.

B

Good. A solid result with some violations on record — more than the top band allows, usually corrected on site or at a follow-up.

C

Needs work. The lowest passing band — enough violations to signal real problems, typically with a follow-up inspection required.

✓

Passed. Met health requirements at the latest inspection. Some health departments report pass/fail instead of letter grades.

!

Conditional. Passed with strings attached — violations were found that must be corrected, often with a re-inspection scheduled. Not a failure, but not a clean pass.

✕

Failed. Did not meet health requirements at the latest inspection. Many failures are fixed and re-inspected within days — check the inspection date.

!

Closed. The health department closed the establishment as of its latest inspection — usually for serious or repeated violations.

—

Out of business. No longer operating — the source records this establishment as out of business. That is not an enforcement action and says nothing about how it scored.

–

Not graded. The source hasn't reported a grade or result for the latest record. CleanPlate never invents one.

Grading systems vary by health department — some issue letters, others pass/fail. CleanPlate shows each city’s system as reported and labels anything it derives.
