October is coming to a close, so it’s time to look at health scores for local eateries this month. During the month, the Madison County Health Department has inspected more than 150 restaurants in the area.

As a public service, Hville Blast reports monthly Madison County Health Department restaurant scores, featuring those eateries with health scores of 95 or better on their inspection (we excluded private eateries like school or business cafeterias and private clubs and limited food service establishments).

Here is who made our Health Score Honor Roll — restaurants that earned health scores of 95 or above — in October of 2024:
