No failures were reported in this week's health inspection results, but a few area restaurants received low scores and were cited for reasons such as items stored on the floor, a wet rag lying on a container of fish and an employee's drink sitting over a prep area.

Scores below 70 are considered failing.

Sonic Drive-In at 6915 Shallowford Road scored an 85. The eatery was docked points for a box of cups on the floor, a leak at a dipper well, an employee's drink sitting over a prep area and floor tiles in poor condition.

Uncle Larry's Hot Fish at 4767 Highway 58 scored an 88 and was cited for a wet rag lying on a container of fish and self-service items stored on the floor.

Five restaurants received a perfect score of 100:

  • The Next Door 100 Mocassin Bend Road
  • Signal Mountain Cookie Lady 1217 Taft Highway
  • Subway 9321 Lee Highway
  • Lupi's Pizza 9453 Bradmore Lane
  • Seoul 6231 Perimeter Drive
