How Austin grades restaurants

Austin scores restaurants out of 100, and higher is better. Inspectors start at 100 and deduct for each violation, weighted by how likely it is to make someone sick. Under Texas rules a score below 70 is failing and brings a re-inspection. Austin Public Health publishes the scores but not the itemized violations behind them, so this page can tell you exactly how a kitchen scored and when — but not what specifically was written up. Cooked reads 90 and above as clean, 70 to 89 as mid, and below 70 as cooked.

Austin publishes inspection scores and dates, but no itemized violations in this feed. Cooked checks daily, but the authority publishes in batches, so a recent visit may not appear yet. Read the date on each result and check the official source for newer information.

Source: Austin Public Health via Austin Open Data. Cooked refreshes this data daily — this listing's most recent inspection is dated September 4, 2026. Inspection results describe one moment in a kitchen's life, not a permanent verdict.
