Gwinnett Restaurant Inspections: Melting Pot, Provino's, Wendy's

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — Thinking of going out for a bite to eat? Then check out these inspection scores for restaurant and food-service operations conducted over the last week in Gwinnett County.

Most of the more than 50 restaurants inspected since June 7 scored an A, with nine operations scoring a perfect 100. But three restaurants — Maria's Tex Mex in Buford, X Wings in Norcross and Happy Sumo Restaurant in Peachtree Corners — scored less than 70 and were deemed "unacceptable." Those restaurants have direct links to their inspection reports with their listings below. Restaurants with failing scores are typically given a second chance and re-inspected a week or so later.

How They're Rated

Each item on an inspection form has a point value ranging from 1 to 9 points, with violations deducting points from the best possible score of 100. Higher points are taken for items with higher risk to cause illness, while repeat violations take even more points

Letter grades assigned are A for totals of 100 to 90 points, B for 89 to 80, C for 79 to 70, and U for less than 70.
