About DirtyBite

DirtyBite makes public restaurant health inspection data easy to understand. We pull data from county health agencies across Southern California and present it in a way that helps you make informed decisions about where you eat.

Coverage

We currently track restaurant inspections across:

  • Orange County — 13,000+ inspections across 90+ zip codes and 40+ cities
  • Los Angeles County — 100,000+ inspections across 160+ cities including LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Glendale, and more

More counties coming soon.

How it works

Every restaurant in Southern California is inspected regularly by their county health department. Inspectors check for food safety violations, proper temperatures, cleanliness, pest activity, and more. The results are public record — we just make them easier to find and understand.

What the results mean

Orange County

  • PASSThe restaurant passed its inspection with no major issues.
  • REINSPECTIONThe restaurant failed and is scheduled for a follow-up inspection. Still open for business.
  • CLOSEDShut down by the health department. Cannot serve food until reinspected and cleared.

Los Angeles County

  • A (90-100)Satisfactory compliance. The restaurant meets health and safety standards.
  • B (80-89)Needs improvement. Multiple violations found during inspection.
  • C (0-79)Failing grade. Serious violations that pose a risk to public health.
