Shelly Walker of the Tennessee Department of Health’s Communications Office said that the scores are still available, but the state isn’t currently able to put them online.

“They haven’t been taken off,” Walker said. “We’re having an issue with our contractor that provides the database we use for those records, so they’re temporarily unavailable.”

The state had a contract with Garrison Enterprises, a North Carolina-based company that offers data management software, to provide the database for their records, but the contract expired back in July.

“They’re trying to work that out now,” she said. “As soon as they get that worked out, they’ll be back up online.”

Walker said anybody who wants to know a restaurant’s inspection score is welcome to call the health department in the county where the restaurant is located.

To find the score of a particular restaurant in Murfreesboro, contact the Rutherford County Health Department at 898-7880.
