What a score of 72 means

Needs improvement. Inspections start at 100 and lose points for each violation the inspector writes up, so 72 means 28 points of violations were recorded on that visit. Below 80 is the lowest of the three bands this site groups Austin scores into — a minority of Austin inspections end here, and a result this low is the kind that tends to be followed by a re-inspection.

Scores higher than 120 of 6,939 Austin-area facilities with a published score — about 2% of them. Citywide median current score: 93/100. In ZIP 78759, it scores higher than 5 of 237 facilities with a published score (ZIP median: 92/100).

A score is a snapshot of a single visit on a single day. It measures compliance with food-safety rules — not food quality, service or how clean the place is today. Austin Public Health does not publish the individual violations behind a score, so this dataset cannot say what was found.

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.
