Georgia DPH food-service inspections, last 24 months (official portal ga.healthinspections.us, facility “Vanzant’s Steak Seafood & Bar”, permit FSP-056-001278 [1]). Georgia grades: A = 90–100, B = 80–89, C = 70–79, U = 69 or below (unsatisfactory).

Health & safety rubric score: 6/10. Rule used for every restaurant: base on the latest routine score (95+ → 9, 90–94 → 8, 85–89 → 7, 80–84 → 6, 70–79 → 5, under 70 → 3); −1 for another C-range result or −2 for another unsatisfactory result in the window; +1 if a follow-up after a sub-90 routine scored 95+; −1 if the latest routine has 2+ repeat violations. Provisional-permit (pre-opening) inspections are listed but not scored. Applied here: latest routine 87/100 (B) on 2026-07-14; 2 repeat violations on the latest routine (−1).

Other review platforms (checked 2026-10-11)

Blocked or unavailable: Yelp (bot check), Restaurant Guru (served a “verify you are human” page after three fetches; we stopped and used only the three pages read before that), and official sites behind Cloudflare. We did not get around any bot check. Ratings marked “Google-derived” come from Exa Places or Restaurant Guru pages that republish Google Maps data; they were read directly but are third-party copies.
