Seven Hendersonville restaurants and food service spots earned perfect 100 scores in the latest round of Sumner County health inspections.

The scores, covering the period from Monday, Sept. 28, through Monday, Oct. 12, were published by the Sumner County Source. Tennessee Department of Health environmental specialists inspect every food and beverage establishment in the state at least twice a year.

Bounce-back scores

Two restaurants that drew low marks in the prior inspection cycle, covering Sept. 14–28, showed sharp improvement on follow-up visits. Moby Dicky's jumped from a 57 to a 97. Lyncoya Cafe climbed from a 72 to a 96. Degthai, which scored a 95 on its routine inspection in that earlier cycle, saw its kitchen score rise to 97 and its bar reach a perfect 100.

First United Methodist Day Care, at 217 E. Main St., received an "Approval" designation on a routine child care facilities inspection Oct. 7. Child care facilities receive an approval status rather than a numeric score, according to the Sumner County Source's published listing.
