The Consumer Health Division of the Fort Worth Public Health Department inspects all restaurants within the city limits of Fort Worth. The inspections results are not recorded with letter grades or graded from 0 to 100. They are reported using a demerit system in accordance with the Texas Food Establishment Guidelines. The scores will be updated weekly.

Demerits are only recorded on "critical violations". "Non-critical violations", such as toilet facilities, floors, lighting and ventilation are not recorded in the scores you see. However, non-critical violations are recorded and must be corrected.

There is not a failing grade. However, state law does indicate that when total demerits exceed 30, "the establishment shall initiate immediate corrective action on all identified critical violations and shall initiate corrective action on all other violations within 48 hours".

It is important to remember that the scores below only represent a snapshot of the facility at the time the inspector arrived. The conditions could be better or worse while an inspector is not present. Note: Repeated facility names may indicate follow-up inspection of a single permitted activity or an inspection of a different activity in the same facility, i.e. meat, fish or produce departments in a grocery store.
