The following is a list of restaurants in Richmond and Columbia counties that have been inspected between Sept. 19 and 25, accompanied by their scores and, in some cases, the health infractions that lowered those scores.
Disclaimer: On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than noted in their most recent inspection. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at the establishment. A few more recent, follow-up inspections may not be included here.
