Restaurants receive health grades

Environmental health specialists with the Brunswick County Health Department inspected and graded local restaurants and other food establishments during the past month.

Grades are based on a perfect score of 100, with points taken away for infractions of state health standards. A score of 90 or better represents an A; 80-89, B; 70-79, C. Establishments with a score below C would not be allowed to operate. Establishments which have two scores during the same inspection period have been regraded at the management’s request.
