These days, telling the waiter there's a fly in your soup is the least of your worries. Think of rats, roaches, flies, employees who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom, bacteria-laden dishes, food poisoning, rotting food, and worse. So, this column lists Dallas businesses that performed poorly on food inspections.

Dallas' Failing Health Inspection Scores

Unacceptable (59 or below) - reinspection required within 24 hours - marked - has black background until receiving a score of 60+.
Failing (60-69) - reinspection required within 10 days - marked - has red background until receiving a score of 70+. If its latest inspection score listed below is 60-62 and thus it scored barely above Unacceptable, it is marked with .
Passing (70-79) - reinspection required within 30 days - has yellow background until receiving a score of 80+. If it barely passed the latest inspection listed below with a score of 70-72, it is marked with . A passing score does not meet acceptable standards.
