Madison, the cleanest city. Where we can get diabetes at our favorite restaurants without worrying about kitchen cleanliness.

11:37 - Madison might be a clean city, but it has more than its fair share of nasty restaurants! And some of the worst service anywhere in the state! You'll die of hunger waiting on your food at McDonald's or Taco Bell in Madison.

19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (and current day - Kelly Clarkson) said (and sang) "What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger".

As one who has survived four bouts of food poisoning (A hamburger place in Starkville in 1969, a military foolishness in 1971, a now closed burger chain in Clinton in 1984 and an unnamed Mexican restaurant in Brandon's taco Tuesday about six months ago) I can see the value in knowing who got a "C".

Sadly, I have enjoyed maybe half of these poor food safety performers at some point in the past and am now confused as to how smart it would be to go back.

I guess you only die once....

Before you eat in a Chinese joint, check the area for feral cats. If you don't see any, that Kung Pao "chicken" may be Kung Pao "kitty."

This goofy " A B C" rating is so misleading to the public.

A "C' basically means the establishment failed inspection.

This is no different than relabeling test grades in the public school system.

I wish the Health Department would go back to the pass/fail system with their restaurant inspections results.

How does the McDonald's in Madison manage to pass a health inspection? The place is need of thorough steam cleaning in my opinion. Filthy!

Where is the list of restaurants for Clinton and Madison? Oh, I forgot all of their restaurants are "A" rated just like their schools.:)

Shuckers got a “C” rating based off the dirty skanks that frequent the joint. I stick my head in every now and then when I’m getting desperate but usually try to avoid.

I hate that Julep is closed. I used to love when Kingfish would specifically hang Kelly out to dry.

@2:59
Haha so funny. That joke never gets old after all these years. You must be the cleverest racist in your baby boomer peer group.

I've only eaten at one of these establishments...Shuckers. Maybe I need to get out more.

Ima hang with the fine-dining critic (above) who takes his wife out to McDonalds and Taco Bell in Madison (or any other town). Bet he tells her to order water to avoid the cost of a soft drink. ....burp.

I thought Ridgeland had a no-smoking policy, even in the patio and so called open-air dining areas of restaurants. Isn't Shuckers in violation? I do enjoy the open air area but the air quality with fifteen smokers is trashy.

Heil State: If you're cruising bars and food shacks looking for a date, God help you and please allow me to give you the address of the Health Department. What's your town?

I have traveled the world and I can say with 100% accuracy that the Popeyes, McDonalds, and Burger King, all in Madison are the top three worst restaurants on the planet.

2:59,
You should tell that joke to one of the brilliant Asian doctors the next time they are saving your life or your grandchildren's life at one of the hospitals in the metro. Many of them were raised by immigrant parents who operated restaurants in the metro.

The “latest C ratings” yet the list goes back to January 2018. Seems a little petty to blast restaurants that failed over a year and a half ago. And not exactly relevant.

6:54: Then don't go there. If they lose enough business, they'll change

Those of you who shout 'racist' might not recall several years back when the highly popular Chinese Buffet Restaurant on 55 frontage east in Jackson was cited and temporarily closed when the Health Department found a skint cat in a freezer. True story.
