I always look to see that the inspection score of a restaurant is before deciding to dine in the establishment. Anything below 90 is unacceptable for me.

I’ve said it before - if the food is incredible I don’t care if they dragged it through the sewer to get it to the table.

All kidding aside, I really choose to not think about it too much for fear I’d miss out on something tasty if I gave myself a scoring threshold of will/will not eat at a resto.

I don’t bother anymore cause I know most are nasty. The people who work in them are just as bad. I went from eating out 5 nights a week to 2 times a month. This has caused me to loose weight without even trying.

What actually did it for me was being in a fast food chicken place. After going through the drive thru & waiting for 10mins, I parked & went inside. Their was a teenage girl on garbage duty. The mgr called her to help package food for customers waiting. After packing down a bag of garbage with her bare hands, she went behind the counter & grabbed a box to package a to go order. I am usually quiet & reserved but right then & there I screamed she need to wash her hands. The young girl looked very embarrassed for not having that much sense. She went & washed them. Other customers thanked me caused they observed the same thing but didn’t open their mouth. After that I went grocery shopping and lost weight.

I always read the scores. While it’s true that a restaurant that looks bad in the dining area and out on the grounds is probably at least as bad in the kitchen, I’ve learned from experience that just because the public areas are in shape, doesn’t mean the kitchen necessarily is……………..

Another big indicator for me is the bathroom. If the bathroom that the general public can see is nasty, imagine what the kitchen looks like. They can hide stuff back there. If they don’t know how to clean a bathroom, I bet they can’t clean the kitchen much better either.

I read the scores and will leave if the deductions have anything to do with food storage temps.

I get concerned if a chain or a high-end restaurant goes below 90, or a mom-and-pop place goes below 85. Heck, the worst they can take off for any one violation is five points, so a restaurant with a 95 could have rats if they’re potty-trained!

I was stunned to see an low scores at a mall location of a certain Atlanta-based fast food chain, and at the formal dining room of a formerly-Atlanta-based hotel chain. You never know who’s going to be unclean…

I probably should but I don’t unless it’s posted right in front of your face when you walk through the front door. I have no doubt I would get sick if I knew the truth about some places. I’m not particularly squeamish about germs - my priority is more on reading nutrition info.
