County health inspectors completed 33 food-service inspections in Madison County between Saturday, Oct. 17 and Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, according to the weekly list WBBJ published on Oct. 23. Here is what the records show.
Scores below 90
Two inspections fell below 90, the cutoff WBBJ uses to flag a score with a link to the full report. Jamaican and African Cuisine and Catering at 289 Vann Drive scored 78 on a routine inspection on Oct. 21. No. 1 Chinese Restaurant on North Highland Avenue scored 86 on a routine inspection on Oct. 22. Both were re-inspected within about a week, and those later scores are covered in a separate Raw 100.5 report on follow-up visits.
Perfect scores
Fourteen of the 33 inspections were a perfect 100. They include Woodland Hills Golf and Country Club Kitchen in Pinson, the Washington Douglass Head Start, Kelly's Food Stand, Mi Veracruz Antojitos Mexicanos, Bourbon and Barley on Oct. 20, The Blue Iguana, Snappy Tomato Pizza, Dipped, 3R's Child Development Center, the Holiday Inn Express breakfast, Boss and Ross BBQ, Darron Concessions and Scooters Coffee on South Highland Avenue, along with Andrew Jackson Elementary School's follow-up.
The middle of the pack
Most other scores landed in the mid-to-high 90s: Perkins Restaurant and Bakery and Te'kila Mexican Bar and Grill, 98; Madison Oaks Academy, 98; Cajun Cookers in Humboldt, Burger Barn and the Te'kila auxiliary kitchen, 99; Twist Midtown Grill, 99; and Hope Cafe 2 at 99 on a follow-up. The Jackson Country Club and its lower level and upstairs lounge scored 95 to 97, and Lane College Cafeteria scored 95.
What the list does not show
The weekly list gives a business name, address, type of visit, date and score. It does not describe individual violations. For that, readers need the inspection report itself, which the health department keeps.
A routine inspection is an unannounced regular visit. A follow-up is a return visit after a problem was found. Talk-N West TN also publishes lists of Jackson scores from the same department, and its lists of follow-up visits matched the entries WBBJ reported.
