BETHESDA, MD — Do you know how clean your local coffee shop or restaurant is? Find the most recent restaurant and food service inspections in Bethesda and elsewhere in Montgomery County, performed by the Licensure and Regulatory Office at Health and Human Services.

Two types of inspections are done: comprehensive inspections evaluate the sanitation, maintenance and food service operations of the facility; and monitoring inspections involve checking the food service operation for critical food temperatures, equipment temperatures and general food handling, cleanliness practices.
