Anybody actually paying attention to the Healt Department Score for Restaurants here in North Carolina??? And if you noticed a low score, do you still eat there? Do you wonder why the score is so low?
I went to a Chinese Restaurant, the score was 82 -... I left.
And whats the worst score you have seen or know of and please tell us where...!!

Reason: forgot
The place has to have 92 or higher or I turn around.
those pizza delivery places I have them confirm on the phone what there score is before I give them my phone order.
I saw one place that had 101 and I couldnt figure that out since it wasnt a glass in box that use surgical gloves to get your food lol.
I get paranoid when I eat in another state and they dont use this system.

The German Restaurant I go to has always between 99.5 and 100.5
We actually walk out the door of any restaurant with less than a 95. And before we leave, I tell them why. I have even gone thru drive-up windows, seen the score for the first time as I am set to pay and then cancelled my order. There are just too many good places to eat to have to take a chance on one like that - in my opinion.
My 9-year-old son's school's cafeteria has a 101. Walked into a deli in Matthews a couple of weeks back with same kid, 86 posted, he freaked and walked out ... we had no choice but to follow. Good thing one of us is paying attention.
I think 95 is pretty high standards. Often times, an establishment will get a 90 based on all non-critical violations. I will not eat at a place w/below a 90. However, if they get reinspected and consistently get high scores, it means they have taken the appropiate action and I would eat there again. I have taken a lot of food safety courses and know what are the most serious infractions. Handwashing (obviously), proper food temperatures, and storage w/o cross contamination. Often times, restaurants will place raw meat over ready to eat foods. Big NO-NO.
