Saratoga County’s Restaurant Health Order Violations

This is a list of the top foodservice offenders in recent health inspections in the past six months in Saratoga County. This list is not definitive according to the Department of Health. Inspections are a "snapshot" in time and are not always reflective of the day-to-day operations and overall condition of an establishment.

So take whatever you want to take from this list, but I have only eaten at one of these restaurants on the list so I'm wiping the sweat from head.

How many of these places have you dined in? Only one on the list for me, but does this change the way you look at these restaurants. You take a risk whenever you eat out but some people live off of this list and will no longer support the restaurants listed.
