The Burke County Health Department’s Environmental Health division regularly inspects restaurants, food trucks, food stands, school cafeterias, and other food establishments. The frequency of inspections varies. All food-service establishments are inspected at least annually. Full-service restaurants — Risk Category IV — are inspected the most at four times a year.
The Paper will run a list monthly of inspections conducted by the health department. You may also look up specific restaurants, and see the full reports, online at burkenc.org/2286/Environmental-Health. Click on Restaurant Scores in the left-side menu to begin your search.
