What app are you using? Nice info. I love the restaurant ratings in NC. The state inspectors post the % score on the front window of each restaurant. No guessing there!!

WOW!!!

And here I thought their special garden salad with the crunchy pieces (which I thought were small pecans) actually tasted good.

Thanks for the post though and that app is something I am going to download right away.

Can't bring myself to try again after the cockroaches.

In regards to China Buffet (NOT Evergreen)

I truly try to never bash a place.....but, I admit I have not gone back since they reopened about a year and 1/2 ago. I have been tempted to give it a try. However, I walk past it at least 4 times a week. I always look in to see if there's anyone in there. Sometimes there might be one table with someone eating, but usually not a soul in the place. During season when I see the huge amount of diners waiting outside to get in to Giovanni's,(its right next door), I often wonder if any of them think....hey, lets try this place....no waiting. But, I dont think it happens. Giovanni's is packed and China Buffet is empty. I feel bad for the owners, but unfortunately...like you say Gracie, once they have the bug issue, its very hard to survive.

We were just talking about the ratings in NC. If they had to post rating everywhere it would give the restaurant to incentive to get great ratings. It sure has a impact on where I eat when in NC.

Yup. The app that I noted pulls the current report, verbatim. Much more convenient to use.

Convenient if one has a smart phone! lol

But did you see that the report indicates "Met Inspection Standards During This Visit"! Yikes!

I did. Kind of crazy, don't you think? I guess you meet standards unless they close you on the spot.
