Improper food storage, unlabeled chemicals: Chattanooga area restaurant inspection reports for week ending April 14, 2026

The Hamilton County, Catoosa County and Walker County health departments inspect food service establishments twice a year, grading them on a 100-point scale. Establishments are reinspected if they fail to meet critical standards. The scores are original and do not reflect on-the-spot changes, which sometimes lead to upward adjustments.

To file a health-related complaint, call:

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department: 423-209-8110.

Catoosa County Health Department: 706-406-2030.

Walker County Health Department: 706-639-2574.
