What do these grades mean?
- 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.
