Everyone loves to eat out, and if the food is delicious, we rarely ask questions about what is happening behind the scenes. A hair in our enchiladas or fingernail in our soup may give us caution from time to time, but only the food inspection scores give us a comprehensive score for restaurants’ cleanliness.
Our neighborhood is replete with delicious eateries, most of which scored above an 80, which is good. If a restaurant scores below an 80, it is technically a pass but requires a follow-up visit within 30 days. Scoring between a 70 and a 60 requires another inspection within 10 days or the restaurant will be closed. Scoring below a 60 will immediately shut down a restaurant until it can pass.
In East Dallas, there were a few perfect 100 scores in the most recent inspections, including Lakewood Country Club, Whole Foods in Lakewood, Knife in the Highland Hotel and Snap Kitchen.
But there were some local spots whose inspection scores are incongruent with their great reputations. In the most recent scores posted on the City of Dallas website, Cock and Bull scored a 64, Palapas on Greenville received a 65, Unleavened and Lower Greenville’s Rapscallion clocked in a 70, Libertine Bar was at 74, and Dream Cafe and Here scored a 76.
