List: Macon restaurants, bars & food trucks with best health inspection scores
Most Macon restaurants, bars and food trucks aced their most recent routine health inspections, including more than a dozen with perfect scores.

How it works
State Environmental Health inspectors assign grades based on how many points are deducted from 100, with scores at 69 and below considered failing.
An “A” is given for a score between 90 to 100 and denotes “food safety excellence.” A score of 80 to 89 is considered “satisfactory compliance” for a grade of “B,” while a “C” is given for “marginal compliance” based on a score of 70-79. A “U” for “unsatisfactory compliance” is given when a restaurant scores 69 or less.
Restaurant inspections are designed to protect public health. The Telegraph reviews inspection reports monthly and generally reports only the best and the worst scores.
