See What Burlington Health Inspectors Found in Their Restaurant Inspections

The Burlington Health Department recently inspected several restaurants.

Ever wonder if the restaurant you are eating at abides by health regulations?

Burlington Patch has launched a new feature in which it will provide details on Burlington's restaurant inspection reports. The reports are public record and if inspectors find issues, they follow up with future re-inspections to assure the issue is resolved. If the Board of Health finds repeated problems, it can call them for a hearing with the board. 

These reports are not intended to call out any specific restaurant or to reflect negatively on Burlington businesses. It is meant to provide readers with information on how restaurants perform during the inspections and to give some insight into the work of the health department. The restaurants featured are chosen at random.
