Every restaurant on this site gets a Trust Score from 0 to 100. It's a single number that answers the question you actually have: how safe is this place to eat?
A letter grade only tells you part of the story. Two restaurants can both be Grade A, but one has held that grade for 5 years with near-zero violations, and the other just scraped by with 12 points on its first inspection. The Trust Score captures the difference.
The score combines seven factors from official inspection records:
All inspection data comes from the NYC Open Data API — the same dataset published by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
We sync this data daily. No restaurant pays for placement or modified display. What you see here is the public record, presented clearly.
An independent project, not affiliated with NYC government or any restaurant business. Built because the official DOH inspection lookup is hard to use and doesn't surface the information that matters most to diners.

We're not telling you where to eat. Plenty of beloved NYC restaurants have imperfect scores, and a high score doesn't guarantee great food. What the Trust Score does is give you the inspection picture in a way that a letter grade alone can't.
Use it as one input, not the only input. A restaurant with a 45 Trust Score might be your favorite place in the city — but you deserve to know what the inspectors found, and how it compares to the spot next door.
The Trust Score is computed from public NYC inspection data only. It does not include Yelp reviews, Google ratings, or any subjective assessment. No restaurant can pay to change their score.
