Good news. The Tennessee State restaurant health department restaurant scores are back online. You can now find them at http://dogwood.healthspace.com/tdh The scores were removed for awhile and many people are glad to see that the site is up and running. This is a tremendous service to people who live in Tennessee and to those who visit.
Health department scores can range from 100 to 70 or below. At 70, the health department considers a place to be unsanitary. Many people consider a score in the upper 80s or better to be good. Few restaurants will ever get a perfect 100%.
Restaurants are lose points for both critical or non-critical violations. Non-critical violations can include but are not limited to mislabeled containers or a dirty floor. Critical violations may include (but are not limited to) food storage issues or problems with sanitation.
