??? Nicks as in http://nicksrestaurant.com/

I thought that was a nice place to eat.....but it is on the list as having 2 C's since Oct 1 2012

Yuck

The Fairview Inn?

Sophia's

It's not always as bad as it sounds. Sometimes it's just something like not having a certified manager on duty. Other times its worse like employees not washing hands after taking a dump or rodents visible. The details of the inspections tell the story. Kudos to Kingdish for having the balls to print this. Most newspapers and tv stations won't because they don't want to lose advertisers.

Specialty Hospital on the 'C' list? Say it ain't so. We expect places like Waffle House and Chinese Eateries to receive the lowest available rating.

Speaking of hospitals, if you've never ventured down into the dungeon that is St. Dominic's cafeteria, and you want to see a nice lineup of fried foods, carb-laden junk and trans fats, set aside a few minutes and take the tour.

Upstairs they'll counsel you on healthy eating and lifestyle changes. Downstairs they'll pump you full of junk food and high-fats.

I have often wondered about the Mayflower. Several years ago I was told by a person who should know, that money had been known to pass to "overlook" health issues. But then again, I have wondered the same thing about every restaurant. Watching a server scratch their head and then.......

Sales pipeline management.

Well I'll be damned, I had no idea St. D forced people to eat fried food at gun point. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to read your reviews of the menu offerings at UMC, Baptist and the HMA facilities. Which one of those do you work for?

I eat @ St Dom cafeteria weekly and its the best down to the cornbread. Yes, they have a hamburger line and the occasional fried squash or okra on the entre line. Most of the fish is broiled however. They have a salad line too. Its a cafeteria, sir.

The FDA, USDA, AMA, AHA, Grocery Manufacturers Association, and National Academy of Nutrition are the real problems because they have a hands off policy on obesity as a disease, food label truth, and sugar additives in processed food.

Once the scientific community wakes up and demands a re-write of the Nutrition Act of 1990, we will have declining Type 2 Diabetes and rising healthcare insurance rates, chronic diseases, and government expenditures.

The problem is not refrigerators having a 43 F reading or the lack of head nets on kitchen workers. It ain't hatless chefs.

Mississippi is plain fat and addicted to fast food...and cokes. Not to mention fried chicken, BBQ ribs, ice cream, caramel cakes, potato chips, and red hots.

ROFLMAO. People are fat because of food labels. That is a good one!

Fairview passed its follow up inspection.

For the defenders of the "fat food line" at St. D.; You forgot to mention the fried chicken, fried chops, cakes, pies and smoked sausages. It's all great stuff.....just seein' a contradiction of mission twisting. Pray for the downtrodden, heal the sick and fatten up the rest ~ Then rotate the chairs. Maybe video poker machines in the chapel would be a nice touch.

You missed Brent's...

I eat at St. D Cafeteria on the regular and they actually have some of the best "hospital" food around. There are many options one being the "grill" line which always has a great lineup of carb trans fat laden goodies such as french fries, tater tots, cheese burgers with grilled onions and the such. If you venture to the left a bit to the plate lunch line there are always "healthier" choices available such as baked fish, baked chicken, green beans, cabbage ect. Then there is a soup and salad bar on the left wall for those lovers of rabbit food. Now if you put two gallons of ranch on y our salad, or ask for two scoops of gravy on you baked chicken you may just increase you calorie intake. It's all about personal choices.

I work at St. D and I can tell you that they have had a healthy plate lunch option for as long as I've been here (about 15 years.) If you don't want fried chicken, don't get fried chicken.

One way to tell if a restaurant failed is to look for their grade as you walk in. If they failed, the grade will be hidden behind a coat rack. Keep up the good work Kingfish!

My first thought, upon seeing Nick's on the list, was that someone didn't know how (or how much) to bribe certain other someones.

Hypocrisy permeates St. Dominic's. Several of you speak to the issue of accommodating personal preferences....Well, how do they accommodate the personal preferences of smokers? They don't. It's against the rules to light up anywhere on campus. Even in your car in the parking tower. I suggest they move the cardiac rehab suite closer to the fried chicken aisle.

But back to the eateries who earned a 'C'; The only reason there are not more Chinese establishments on the list is because more of them were not inspected. With regularity, over the decades, those places have failed more often than any other ethnic style and any other food type. Coincidence?

all institutional food is garbage. processed food is full of unhealthy additives, including but not limited to, SODIUM. it is a huge problem for those of us with high blood pressure. if you think you're eating healthy by taking veggies on the caf line, you are just taking in poisons. think your turkey wrap is a healthy option? carbs, sodium and turkeypills aren't good for you. you can't eat healthly away from your own kitchen.

I have my own restaurant inspection. I look in the men's bathroom to see how clean it is. Then I check the back door and see how much grease build-up is on the threshold.

If an eatery has a tile floor in the kitchen which it steam cleans--it passes.

Hey rube - people HAVE to eat something or they will die from starvation. NOT smoking has no health risks whatsoever. Also, your smoke affects my kid's asthma. Your clogged arteries are your problem alone.

Thank you for playing - next contestant please!

I've eaten at 119 and Fairview.. they were both wonderful! I'm shocked they made the list, but like comments above, it could be minor issues. I'm sure all restaurants have problems at some point. Addressing 9:09pm, you're right! Bathrooms say alot about the restaurant. Sal and Phil's has one of THE nastiest pair of restrooms I've ever been in! I like to get take out from there but the whole place is so dark and with the nasty restrooms...not too sure!

The cherokee should be at the top of the failing list, so dirty!

9:03 - that's not dirt at the Cherokee, that's seasoning.

Maybe Nick's failing grade comes from the arrests out on the manager Craig Fant. . .

JACO'S TACOS is on SOUTH State St. not N. State St.

Love the Cherokee....also Nick's is great.

No food establishment gives one whit about cleanliness, food safety or boogers on the bathroom door. They only do what it takes to pass inspection. Steamcleaning a tile floor blows all kinds of shit onto the walls, ceilings and cooking equipment. Think about it.

Meanwhile, the more serious issue is whether Bonefish really thinks a large roll of white wrapping paper qualifies as 'white table cloth'?

Nick's is on the list because of manager Craig. Google his name.
