How Fulton County inspects Sandy Springs restaurants, what the A, B, C and U grades mean, and how to look up any score or file a complaint: 770-520-7500.
Last checked Oct. 5, 2026. Scores come from the Georgia Department of Public Health’s public inspection database, searched Oct. 5, 2026. An inspection score is a snapshot of conditions on the day of the inspection. It is not a rating of food quality, and a lower score does not mean anyone became ill.
Restaurants, cafeterias, food trucks and other food service businesses in Sandy Springs are permitted and inspected by Fulton County Environmental Health Services, part of the Fulton County Board of Health, not by the city. The county says it covers more than 6,000 food service establishments. Each inspection gets a score out of 100 and a letter grade.

How Georgia grades restaurants
| Grade | Score |
|---|---|
| A | 90 to 100 |
| B | 80 to 89 |
| C | 70 to 79 |
| U (unsatisfactory) | 69 or less |
Inspectors look for the hazards the county lists on its food service page: cross-contamination, improper cooking and handling, food held at the wrong temperature, contaminated water, garbage disposal, and insects and rodents. Every food service business needs a valid county permit to operate. Georgia’s food code and inspection rules are published by the Georgia Department of Public Health.

Method notes
- Some addresses inside Sandy Springs carry an Atlanta mailing city, as several of the city’s own park listings do. The state database searches by mailing city, so the figures above cover only permits listed under “Sandy Springs.” Search by name to find any restaurant, whatever its mailing city.
- We report each permit’s latest grade, not an average.
- We do not rank restaurants or describe scores as good or bad. Read the full report before drawing conclusions about a single score.
