Ranked from state inspection records over the past 12 months, using the formula below. Based on official records only; not a ruling on any restaurant.
Score = for each inspection in the period (first visit only): 3 × high-priority + 1 × intermediate + 0.25 × basic violations, counted at full weight if the inspection was in the last 3 months, 85% at 3–6 months and 70% at 6–12 months; plus 20 for each state emergency closure, 8 for each administrative complaint recommended, 5 for each follow-up visit where the problems were not yet fixed, and 1.5 for each inspection-form item cited on 2 or more separate inspections (a repeat problem, up to 6 items). Higher = more or more serious findings on record. Places inspected more often have more chances to be cited, and seat count is not considered.
