Which Nashville restaurants had the worst health inspections? The 150 lowest scores

Over the last 12 months, more than 18,000 restaurant health inspections were conducted in the Nashville metro area. And most restaurants had no trouble passing. The median score was 97.

But not all restaurants did so well. The Tennessean analyzed a year of health inspection data for Davidson, Wilson, and Williamson counties. Since last August, 150 restaurants scored a 69 or below on a routine health inspection.

Restaurants are given an opportunity to correct violations. And nearly all these low scoring restaurants received high scores on follow-up inspections.
