Restaurant Health Inspection Coverage in Maryland

The Safe Plate publishes restaurant health inspection records for Maryland exactly as the government health department that issued them publishes them. We do not inspect restaurants, and we do not verify, score or endorse the records an agency publishes.

Health departments these records come from

Descriptions of each agency's grading system are written by The Safe Plate to explain the records, and are not statements made by the agency.

• Baltimore City, MD — Issuing agency: Baltimore City Health Dept. — What these records include: No letter grade or numeric score shown, pure pass/fail COMAR 10.15.03 checklist. Violations cite the Maryland regulation section (e.g. 10.15.03.20E(3)(a)) with the inspector's specific note. Electronic data since January 2016. Covers all of Baltimore City.
• Montgomery County, MD — Issuing agency: Montgomery County Dept. of Health and Human Services — What these records include: No letter grade or numeric score shown, inspections result in Pass, Fail, Closed, Incomplete, Closed With Complaint, or Cancelled.

Think a record is wrong?

We republish what the health department published and cannot change an agency's record. If something we show does not match the official source, tell us and we will look into it.
