State restaurant inspections online
With the latest news out of Mayes County that a likely food-borne illness has killed one and sickened dozens of others, you might be curious about how your local restaurants fare in food inspections.
You can look them up by county and/or name at the state’s Food Service Establishment Inspections site. (The link is also under the “Data” section of our own Your Right to Know page.)
While officials haven’t yet figured out what caused the recent illnesses, they also haven’t ruled anything out. The Country Cottage restaurant in Locust Grove was last inspected on Aug. 23, according to the online data. At that time, inspectors found nine violations.

THis is very valuable information. Thanks for the link. I hope I don’t find any restaurants that I eat ate, having failed inspections, or citations.
