What Minnesota publishes

Minnesota’s results on GradeLocal are scores out of 100. Every listing here shows the agency’s own score as the Official score.

How GradeLocal grades Minnesota restaurants

Where the agency publishes a score out of 100, that is the score we show (the Official score), and the letter comes from it: 90 or higher is an A, 80 to 89 is a B, 70 to 79 is a C and below 70 is a D.

There are four letters, A to D, with no F. The same rule applies in every state, and the cutoffs are never adjusted for a state, county or city. We always use the latest inspection.
