Again, this list covers West Alabama and other cities across the state that you might live in or travel to in the state of Alabama.

As the writer, I'm a frequent customer of several restaurants on the list for "infestation", but I must put personal bias aside and report the information as is.

Technically, the violation for roaches also covers rodents as well.

OK, PLEASE NOTE, NOT ALL OF THE PLACES OF BUSINESS ON THIS LIST HAD ROACHES. SOME WERE CITED FOR OTHER REASONS. PLEASE READ THE LISTS CAREFULLY. ROACH INFESTATIONS ARE HIGHLIGHTED, AGAIN, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

One positive for the restaurant industry of West Alabama, only a few places made the list in the most recent report.

We will also point out some places that had great scores in this most recent report.

All info comes from the Alabama Department Of Public Health food establishment closings report.

First, the list of restaurants/businesses that had enforcement actions against them, and remember, in most cases the problem is fixed and the business reopens in a couple of days.
