ROSS COUNTY, OHIO – In August 2019, the Ross County Health Department inspected a whopping 75 restaurants, facilities, and mobile food trucks. The inspections covered a wide swath of restaurant types from Mexican to cafes, and all manner of food trucks as well as correctional facilities.
Fortunately for those that are hungry, few restaurants had a large number of complaints, as the worst-offending restaurant had only 2 critical and 2 non-critical violations. Therefore, the worst restaurant earns the “Not-Too-Greasy Spoon” award. Please note that the rankings do not cover the severity of offense, just the number, as violations could be easily corrected during the Health Department’s visit, or may nearly be out of the restaurant’s scope.
