Every week, county health inspectors grade restaurants, hotel breakfast bars, school kitchens and other food operations. WBBJ publishes the weekly list, and Raw 100.5 read the one for Oct. 24 through Oct. 30, 2026. This is a plain-language look at the Madison County entries.
The big picture
The list shows 22 Madison County inspections between Monday, Oct. 26 and Friday, Oct. 30. Half were routine inspections and half were follow-ups, which are the return visits inspectors make after an earlier problem. Every score was 94 or higher, and none fell below 90, the line WBBJ uses to flag low scores in other weeks.
Eight inspections earned a perfect 100: Asia Garden Bar, Traphouse, Liberty High School Cafeteria, Travelodge by Wyndham Breakfast, Cracker Barrel #284, Boss and Ross BBQ Express, Scooters Coffee on North Highland Avenue, and the St. Mary's Manor nutritional program for the elderly.
Other scores on the list
- Monday, Oct. 26: RIFA, 95 (routine); Best Western Plus ER Breakfast, 99 (follow-up); Brooksies Barn, 97 (follow-up).

- Friday, Oct. 30: No. 1 Chinese Restaurant, 97 (follow-up); The Owl's Nest, 94 (routine).
How to read a score
A higher number means fewer violations were recorded on that visit. A single score is a snapshot of one day, not a verdict on a business, and a routine score can differ from the follow-up that comes after it. Some of the follow-up entries on this list are return visits to places that scored lower earlier in October; Raw 100.5 has a separate rundown of how those scores changed.
Where the records come from
The scores come from the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department's inspection records as published each week by WBBJ. Anyone can look up the full inspection report for a specific business through the health department.
