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.
