Oconee Restaurant Inspections -- 'Low Risk' at Coffee House and Elementary School

Here is a list of Oconee County restaurants, including school cafeterias, that have undergone routine health inspections in March.  All information was obtained from the Northeast Georgia Health District's health scores website.

Each kitchen is given a score, and any violations are listed on-line.  The restaurant or cafeteria is categorized as low risk if there are no critical violations and a score of 90 or more is achieved.  For a food establishment to be categorized as high risk, one or more critical violations must be found.

Any restaurant with a failing grade -- a score of 70 or less -- receives a follow-up inspection within 10 days.
