Live roaches and expired food: the latest worst Myrtle Beach area restaurant inspections.
The latest round of restaurant inspections by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, found foods past their discard dates, live roaches, employees with unwashed hands and more. In general, SCDA gives restaurants scoring between 88 and 100 points A grades, restaurants scoring 78-87 points B grades and restaurants scoring 77 points or fewer C grades.
However, the department sometimes lowers grades for restaurants that have consecutive violations, are under enforcement action or are under pending enforcement actions, including imminent health hazards, permit suspensions or permit revocations.
Of the 213 restaurant inspections conducted in Horry and Georgetown County between April 9 and April 23, SCDA gave six restaurants B grades and one restaurant a C grade. However, only three of those establishments actually scored below 88 points. Here’s what inspectors found.
