The Restaurant Monitor is a weekly listing of scores for restaurants inspected by the Brazos County Health Department.
Inspection scores are on a 100-point scale. Generally, scores below 80 might cause the department to schedule a follow-up visit. Scores in the 60s and below would cause the department to consider closing an establishment temporarily for health reasons.
The following inspections were conducted from May 7-14 and are restaurants that scored less than 85. Reports on all restaurants inspected during the same time period are available at www.theeagle.com.
