The City of Dallas checks all restaurants and food places to make sure they are clean and safe. They give each place a score from 0-100. Higher scores mean the place follows good food safety rules. You can see restaurant scores online or ask the restaurant to show you their latest report. If you get sick from food at a restaurant, you can report it to the city. The city inspects restaurants every 6 months to keep food safe for everyone.
