Excellent.

Inspections conducted by Austin Public Health
Health inspections are conducted by Austin Public Health to ensure restaurants maintain proper food safety standards. Scores are based on compliance with Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER) and assess factors including food temperature control, employee hygiene, facility cleanliness, and pest control.

Austin Public Health does not publish individual violation records alongside the score, so specific findings from a given visit are not part of this dataset.
