Health Department inspections

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

So after doing a little researching for some on MH I decided to do a little digging... As you know restaurants go through several inspections a year... The inspectors are not scared of giving a facility a failing grade if they screw up... The ratings are A, B and C. I decided to put in the search engine Donanelles to see how they stacked up according to The Department of Health. Here are the results...

You will not be surprised by the results from the many inspections they have had... After talking to both Hawk and Elle it is apparent they are meticulous in what they do...:clap: Woo hoo!
I am gonna get up there this coming week for sure...
Here is a link for you to put in your favorite restaurant...

Or you can put in your county or city and see which ones were given A's and which ones were given C's... The results will shock you for sure... They thump a restaurant pretty hard for any infraction!!!
Go ahead and put in Forrest County or Hattiesburg and look at all the restaurants you visit and see what they score... :ohnoes:

[ComputerDude]

Why is this in the entertainment section?

[ComputerDude]

Oops. Spoke too soon. :smt118

[Conveyor Belt]

Ahhh... I don't miss those days at all... Somehow, the health inspector always seemed to come when something was broken, or maybe something was always broken in that POS building I had to put up with...

Scott's a good guy and very business friendly.

We failed ONE inspection, and I'm still pissed at the people who made that happen. I had been on vacation, and someone didn't order sanitizer powder. No one told me about it and no one said anything about there not being any in the store. He had to fail us on that one point. I went out and bought some as soon as he left... stupid people.

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

Why is this in the entertainment section?I know there was somewhere everyone wrote about restaurants but it was late and I could not find any threads in the other sections so I went with the entertainment...:smt102 Dining???
Anyway thought it would be nice to see how the Department of Health sees your restaurant... I know there are a couple here in Picayune that I won't go back to.... I had already quit going and now I can tell the missus we sure aint going!!!

[FashionPolice]

Ever since I read this and saw the link to the health department I've been plugging restaurants in...It's pretty interesting what you will find and how many times some places fail :smt103 There are also a lot of places that did very well so that's always a positive! Rodents and insects just aren't so yummy to me!

[aquafine]

There goes my afternoon! I'll be on that site for awhile

[quicksilver74]

I can't believe that one of the inspectors names is Tiffany Glass

Ew! I need to check the sonic out in Hattiesburg I stop by there almost every other day between my classes for drinks and tots...Thank goodness for the health department site!

[dyates]

I really wish these health inspections were done at random. From what I understand the establishment always knows an around about time the health inspector will be coming (First Tuesday of each month etc.) In that case, what's the point really? Wish they'd change that. =\

You have a pretty good idea when they're coming if you're paying attention. they have to do an inspection every 3 months. Other than that, it's a crapshoot. They'd show up on any day of the week, any time from 9am-4pm. What I wish they'd do would be to inspect these places at night. that's a critical time when most GM's are off and the stores are being run by high school kids, etc.

[dyates]

Yeah, I looked over the site a bit...interesting. Seems it's the same persons doing the inspections. After a few years of the same health inspector coming...you'd think there would be a "buddy" type relationship. Then next thing you know Mr/Mrs Health Inspector let's the establishment know they'll be back on such and such date next month. I know that happens ALOT which really sucks. ;(

If you're friendly with the inspector and get to know them, then they'll point some stuff out to you rather than writing it down. If you fix it then, no problem. If you're an ass to them, they're going to throw the book at you. It's like any kind of law enforcement. Nice to the cop, he may let you find a ride home rather than charging you with a DUI. nasty to him, you're going to jail.

I believe the website lists the date of the next inspection.

I'm not too naive to believe that corruption of the system takes place. All I know is what I've experienced.

copelands failed nearly ALL of 2006. in 2007 they got a B and a C. i wonder how long that restaurant will stay open. Longhorn and Olive Garden are taking all the business and the parking lot is always empty.

im surprised the health inspector didnt close them down. 3 times in a year? how bad does it have to get? if i had a restaurant you would be able to do surgery in the cooking area in the back.

maybe i am different though?

[Concernedforhburg]

I wanted to remind everyone about this valuable link for looking up restaurants.

I just left a local establishment and came straight here. The establishment I had lunch at passed the last several inspections. As a matter of fact, I did not see where they failed the 1st one; however, half way thru my lunch, there was a small roach on my plate. Needless to say, the rest of what was in my mouth went into the napkin and I was done.

Unfortunately, my daddy was with me and it just so happened to be our favorite place for lunch. He preceded to tell me that even though some people liked such delicacies, he did not and we'd have to find us a new place to eat.

:smt078

Do tell Do tell!

Would you be kind enough to share the name of this fine establishment?

[citygirl]

It was a mexican resturant in the vicinity of Turtle Creek Mall.

[dyates]

Well I hope you said something to the management? If so I'm curious what they had to say or was it the typical "oh well" response?

[dyates]

I can understand sometimes things happen but when there's an issue and you inform management of the problem and they have the DGAF attitude about it it really makes me ill.

[fuzzis]

I've only ever had that problem once...in a place in New Orleans. At first I didn't know what it was, but when I figured it out...

That management was *really* good about it. Extremely apologetic, offered me anything on the menu I wanted, brought a bottle of wine over. I was done eating, although I did enjoy the wine (I was there that evening to write).

I didn't make a scene or anything; I understand that it happens in the best of kitchens. I just don't want to be confronted with the tangible proof of it.

I've actually gone back there and never had another problem.

[brianinms]

Was it dead or alive?

[58ford]

I would like to point out that though the name of this thread is Donnanelles and Health Department inspections Citygirl's story is in no way a reflection on that fine eating establishment. And perhaps in the future we could put restaurant critiques (esp unfavorable ones) under a thread that does not include the name of Donnanelles to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation.

Thanks,
ford

[CircusRide]

You should've just eaten him. The protein would help get you over all those mexican carbs you were taking in.

You gotta order the chilli cheeseburger: add mustard and onion. Yummo!:smt023

And I in no way made reference to Donnelle's. I put it in this thread BECAUSE this thread has the link to look at various resturants to see how they fared in their latest inspection. Sorry I didn't draw you a picture.

In another post, I did not name names, but the last time I visited the old injun and his squaw, I drove down to Dixie and Mexican dishes weren't on the menu!

[citygirl]

We didn't have to pay and the waiter did mumble something about they would take care of the problem.

I didn't mean to imply that you were dissing Don & Elle, it's just that when I saw the first two posts on this page (by DYates) it seemed that they may have been in ref to D&E's until I read back & forth a little & got clarified.
I just didn't want anyone else to get the same impression.

[Chichiguita]

I think the thread name makes it confusing. I think it was meant to compliment them--but it is also human nature to 'think the worse".

[luvnlife]

can we go back and change the name?

[Chichiguita]

can we go back and change the name?

I don't know how. I spelled a word wrong in a thread title and it drove me crazy, because you don't have the same edit options as you do in the body of the post. Someone else might know better.

[Captaincaveman]

Citygirl,

Behind TCM???

[Swashplate]

By the way, what happened to Hawkeye? I really enjoyed his posts. Did I miss something?

Let's just say Hawk went off the reservation.

[hendrixfreak70]

Well hell, I wondered if I could say that or not.

[hendrixfreak70]

Basically Hawk is at another place and time.

[drake]

Every time I try to use that website it just says it is loading forever and never does anything.

[hendrixfreak70]

Which one, Donanelles?

[drake]

Which one, Donanelles?

If this is directed at me, I am referring to the Dept of Health website. When I enter choices, it doesn't do anything, and eventually says it timed out.

[58ford]

I can only speak for myself, but I for one would welcome hawk back with open arms.

[Conveyor Belt]

I like Hawkeye, too. He's always good for some good financial conspiracy, end of the country type talk. Good for some good stories, too. And learning about how to do some things I never even dreamed of...

We drink beer together! At least at the meet-ups.

Yeah, I can imagine what a sad kook fest that is...

[hendrixfreak70]

Not that it matters to him but he is on the ignore list now. That was a ridiculous statement and completely unwarranted.

[dyates]

:(

surely he was just kidding around?

[Conveyor Belt]

I was KIDDING... well, 1/2 kidding... C'mon... I guess you really can't take a joke... jeez.

[hendrixfreak70]

:(

surely he was just kidding around?

Probably not.

[dyates]

Well it's hard to tell sometimes I suppose. I know 100 times I've posted something in a joking manner and had people get all bent out of shape over it. Can't worry about it.

[Conveyor Belt]

Fact: Ron Paul is no longer a contender in the Presidential election.
Fact: Ron Paul was never a real contender for the Presidential election.
Fact: Some members of the Ron Paul group are also members of the truth in 9/11 and vaccines groups.

Thus... a handful of people show up to Hawk's place, with it's big Ron Paul sign painted on the side, which is just sad now, IMO, and talk about the glory days of Ron Paul's presidency and any other conspiracy theory about shadow governments and black helicopters and mind control...

Therefore, a sad little kook fest.

But is WAS a joke... mostly...

[hendrixfreak70]

Well it's hard to tell sometimes I suppose. I know 100 times I've posted something in a joking manner and had people get all bent out of shape over it. Can't worry about it.

Well, when there is an attack on someone's character unprovoked it is never a joking matter. Not worried about it, that is why I am still here and he is ignored.

[dyates]

Well that's silly and CB..c'mon now...what's wrong with being a little "kooky"....I believe we all fit right in the kooky catagory in some way or another. ;)

[hendrixfreak70]

By kooky he likely is referring to our belief in our government doing bad things like the Rothschilds and the like.

[drake]

I have completely lost track of what the hell is going on here.

[dyates]

Nothing is going on that I know of. What are you talking about?

[kevin]

The meltdown that some of us don't understand I would quess?

[dyates]

Ah ok, like the one you had last night? I gotcha ;)

[luvnlife]

I'm not understanding either...:smt102

So I just enter and exit....:exit:

[dyates]

hit and run!

[dyates]

I'm going to bed...Goodnight everyone. Rest well when you go.

[kevin]

Ah ok, like the one you had last night? I gotcha ;)

I don't believe I had one!!! Just a person telling me what to do:laugh: Oh and I don't believe I asked for any help and wasn't doing anything but saying what is clear.The roads in the Burg are full of potholes.Off topic I'll stop..

[Conveyor Belt]

Well, when there is an attack on someone's character unprovoked it is never a joking matter. Not worried about it, that is why I am still here and he is ignored.

Who's character was there an attack on? Ron Paul supporters? You guys are still waving the banner for a dead candidacy. If it wasn't kooky before, it's certainly kooky now.

I'm sorry the work 'kook' offended you. I didn't know you'd take it so personally. Enjoy the humor of the situation.
