BBQ joint, coffee shop among spots with ‘B’ health grades

The Charlotte Business Journal is continuing its monthly review of health code inspections for food establishments in Mecklenburg County.

New ranking names Charlotte area’s ‘Best Places to Live’

Establishments listed in this review received grades of either a “B” or “C” when inspected during the month of March, according to data pulled April 7 from the N.C. Public Health Inspections’ online database. Restaurants, food stands, mobile-food operators and push carts are included in this review.

A total of 883 such establishments, 14 of which scored below a 90, were inspected in Mecklenburg County last month. For those with a “B” or “C” grade in March that have since been reinspected, the updated score is noted in the summary.

Among the establishments scoring below an “A” in March are a southwest Charlotte barbecue restaurant that’s made the list before, an uptown coffeehouse, a tavern on the west side and several delis.
