Sparkles, McDonald's, Maggiano's: Cobb Restaurant Inspections

MARIETTA, GA — Do you really know how clean your favorite restaurant or coffee shop is? Sure, you love the food, but it seems to taste better when you know the score from the establishment's latest health inspection.

Here are some restaurant and food service inspections conducted recently in Marietta and other parts of Cobb County. To see more information about these places, click on the date or score.

The state uses a point system in rating restaurants and other food service establishments. Each item is valued between 1 and 9 on an inspection form. Points can be deducted (often shown in red) as well. More points can be taken away based on the greater risk of sickness, and repeat violations can mean even more subtractions from a restaurant's score.

Scores from 90 to 100 are signified by the letter A. From 89 to 80 is a B, from 79 to 70 is a C and a U is for less than 70.
