A Houston County restaurant failed its routine health inspection in May but earned a perfect score during its follow-up inspection eight days later.

Shane’s Rib Shack, 1365 Sam Nunn Blvd., Suite H-L, Perry, scored a 66 at its routine inspection May 22. The restaurant received a “U” for “unsatisfactory compliance,” according to what was reported Monday in the Georgia Department of Public Health’s online portal.

The restaurant failed to follow proper reheating and hot holding procedures on a batch of pulled pork and did not have a consistent date marking procedure in place to ensure that foods are not served beyond seven days, according to the inspection report.

Other violations dealt with issues such as a mop and mop bucket blocking access to a hand-washing sink. The paper towel dispenser was empty at another hand-washing sink.

The restaurant scored a 100 at its required followup inspection May 28, earning an “A” for food safety excellence.

Environmental health inspectors assign grades based on how many points are deducted from 100, with scores of 69 and below considered failing. Follow-up inspections are required when a restaurant fails its routine inspection and generally take place within 10 days.

Meanwhile, most Houston County restaurants, bars, coffee shops and food trucks earned “A’s” on their routine inspections in May, with multiple establishments earning perfect 100s.

Just over a dozen received “B’s” while three received “C’s.” Here’s a look at each restaurant that received an “A” across different areas of Houston County.

Restaurant Grades

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.
