Restaurant Inspection Scores: August 11

New retail food health scores have been released for several Tennessee counties as of August 17, 2026. The data includes health scores for establishments located in Davidson County, as well as inspection results for restaurants in Williamson and Rutherford counties. Specifically, a restaurant located in Murfreesboro received a score of 73 during a routine health inspection. In Williamson County, three different restaurants were noted for scoring in the 80s during their most recent evaluations. These reports provide a public record of food safety compliance across multiple jurisdictions during the month of August. Coverage of these inspections is distributed across several regional sources and news outlets.

Action News 5 provided a 'Restaurant Roundup' on August 14, while WREG.com focused on inspection scores from August 11. The specific county-level data is being tracked by the Davidson County Source, the Williamson Source, and the Rutherford Source. These outlets are emphasizing the numerical scores assigned to restaurants, particularly highlighting those that fall into lower brackets such as the 70s and 80s. The collective reporting creates a comprehensive view of health department activity in the region. This information is critical because routine health inspections are the primary mechanism for ensuring food safety and public health in retail food environments. The variance in scores, ranging from a 73 in Murfreesboro to scores in the 80s in Williamson County, indicates different levels of adherence to health codes.

For consumers and business owners, these scores serve as a benchmark for sanitary conditions and operational standards. The release of these scores on August 17 allows the public to evaluate the current safety status of various dining options in their immediate communities. Future developments to monitor include whether the restaurants with lower scores, such as the Murfreesboro establishment that scored 73, will undergo re-inspections to improve their ratings. Coverage does not yet specify if any establishments faced closures or mandatory remediation as a result of these scores. Observers will likely look for updated lists from the Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford sources to see if subsequent inspections show a trend of improvement or further decline in health scores across the region's food service industry.
