Every 90 days the report is released for restaurants and lodging establishments, mainly, and a few made the report for being closed because of a "roach infestation" according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.

Again, this list covers West Alabama and other cities across the state that you might live in or travel to in the state of Alabama.

As the writer, I am a frequent customer of several restaurants on the list for "infestation", but I must put personal bias aside and report the information as is.

Technically, the violation for roaches also covers rodents as well.

 

OK, PLEASE NOTE, NOT ALL OF THE PLACES OF BUSINESS ON THIS LIST HAD ROACHES. SOME WERE CITED FOR OTHER REASONS. PLEASE READ THE LISTS CAREFULLY.

 

One positive for the restaurant industry of West Alabama, only a few places made the list in the most recent report. So, that's a good thing.

The recent January 2023/December 2022 health department ratings/scores mention several establishments that many of us have frequented in West Alabama.

Below is a list of some food establishments and lodging facilities I have chosen to highlight.  All of the inspections were done in the last 60-90 days. The "enforcement actions" are also listed and according to the health dept., these are typically corrected so the establishment can reopen within a few hours or a couple of days.
