Several Forsyth County restaurants earn B and C inspection grades

Forsyth County diners got another reminder to check inspection scores before choosing where to eat: the latest round of health checks turned up multiple B and C grades. In the county’s system, A means 90 to 100, B means 80 to 89, C means 70 to 79, and U means 69 or below.

Those grades come through Forsyth County Environmental Health, which handles restaurant inspections and complaints as part of the county’s food-service program. The results are posted publicly through the Georgia Department of Public Health’s inspection system, which is meant to let residents see scores before they eat out. The county portal uses the Georgia Department of Public Health and Tyler Technologies system, and Forsyth County Environmental Health says its work also covers plan review, public pool inspections, complaints, rabies, body art and tourist accommodations.

The stakes are not just procedural. Violations involving unsafe food temperatures can pose a direct short-term risk, while issues such as faulty dishwashers or other maintenance problems are usually more fixable but still matter because they can undermine sanitation over time. Recent Forsyth County News coverage has also flagged expired food safety certifications, moldy fruit and ice machines, and other recurring problems, showing how often routine checks catch the same kinds of lapses again and again.

Georgia updated its food-service rules on Feb. 12, 2025, to reflect the 2022 FDA Food Code, underscoring that these inspections are tied to current statewide standards, not outdated local practices. Forsyth County Schools uses the same public-health system for its cafeterias, with school food-service kitchens inspected twice each school year by county environmental specialists.

For residents, the practical takeaway is simple: B and C grades are not the same as a clean A, and the details behind the score matter. A lower grade can mean a one-time lapse, a recurring sanitation issue or a problem that needs a fast fix before the next meal is served.
