A Look at Restaurant Inspection Grades in Banning and Beaumont

How did your favorite eatery fare?

Bugs. Dirty hands. Contaminated surfaces.

Are you getting more than you ordered when you eat out in Banning and Beaumont?

Complete food facility inspection results for both cities, including any violations for which an establishment was cited, can be found online at the Restaurant Grading page at the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health website.

Consumers can search Banning's results and Beaumont's results.

There are three possible grades— A, B, and C. Scores from 90 to 100 earn the establishment an A grade. Violations that lower the score below 90 result in a downgrade.

A monthly report of places that didn’t make the cut can be found at the Food Facilities Downgrade page.

Downgraded facilities are required to raise their grade back to an A within a short period of time, according to the website.

HA we have the worst inspector up here. NO way do all those places get A's. If anyone believe Gus' received an A is looking for food poisoning!

Yep Washy....something seems amiss! I got me a nasty dose of "The Double-dOOdy Green Apple Dirty's" TWICE from that one Mexican Restaurant in Mid-Banning, in a 30 day period---and yeah, first time I didn't connect the dots---so I ate there again, but the second time? The lightbulb came on as I dropped about 15 pounds in body weight over a coupla day period. Heck, when I even drive by the place now my stomach churns, and if not for the Garlic Necklace, and Crucifix I keep handy for when I am in that immediate area, and put on real quick to ward off The Screamin' Squirts as I drive by , betcha I would get another dose just by being within "Cucharacha Loogie" Range of the joint....and they are like Cobra's, and can get ya at a distance..ON THE MOVE, and at a fair clip too!
I have worked on projects in many restaurant buildings, and their kitchens in the Pass Area over the years----and there are very few I would endorse after seeing what I done saw in many of them. One of THE worst ever, and the place is gone now (Thank God) was The San Gorgonio Inn---was remodeling on that restaurant years back after a fire, and Lord have mercy, I done saw things that would make a maggot spew. Really.

On the original like George Bertos has an A But it did have a C and if you think that the people who work there don't go back to bad habits after the A...you might be considered dumb

Deos the word "Payola" ring a bell?
Suzi V February 2, 2013 at 04:08 pm
I agree, there are 247 restaurants here in Beaumont, and Banning and not even a "B" in sight. And yes Gus's is a slop house!
Suzi V February 2, 2013 at 04:13 pm
PHO92 in Beaumont had a "C" a little while back! Ugh, I have to learn to cook some good soups!!!
Washy February 2, 2013 at 07:12 pm
Suzi they had a C because their kitchen caught fire and they were closed down during that time. That is when they go the C
pam topper February 3, 2013 at 12:42 am
PHO92 where is that?
ATC February 3, 2013 at 01:00 am
I doubt that they actually got graded during a time that they were shut down rebuilding.
Washy February 3, 2013 at 03:13 am
Gary before you doubt call the health dept. I was there when it happened (not the fire the down grading) After a kitchen or other disaster the health dept comes out and sees if they can partially operate...IF they cannot they get a C and closed down. I happened to be shopping at the health food store next door. Funny the A grade is the exact same date they reopened after construction (and the C is the day after the fire)
Washy February 3, 2013 at 03:13 am
Near Stater Bros and Food 4 Less. Great food, but slow as crap service
pam topper February 3, 2013 at 04:31 pm
Thank you,I was thinking about trying it,but maybe not.
Suzi V February 3, 2013 at 04:47 pm
The soups are good, it's a Vietnamese place. Yes I agree the service is very, very slow. They are in the inner corner 2 doors west of the beauty suppliers.
pam topper February 3, 2013 at 05:11 pm
Thank you Washy,and Suiz,

I find it interesting the RG was all over the State of the City luncheon but not interested inRead More printing the questions and issues raised by the Mayor's unsubstantiated claims. We should stop paying any attention to the RG if they aren't interested in what's really happening in Beaumont. I don't subscribe to the RG but it is still delivered to my house every week. Does anyone know how to stop the delivery? I could just pick it up each week and throw it in the trash but then their circulation won't be accurately represented to their advertisers. I'm going to start asking local business to stop advertising in the RG.
Ken June 17, 2013 at 11:47 am
Great idea Lloyd..They dont deliver to the old neighborhoods I guess. I generally pay the 50 centsRead More to see what they DIDNT print.
Washy June 18, 2013 at 04:37 am
Have you tried calling them and asking them to not throw trash in your driveway each Friday.

UPDATE on CV (nickname)...a tumor protruding from his right eye was removed yesterday - he now canRead More close the eye completely which, coupled with a fly mask, will keep the flies from laying eggs in his eye (a very nasty thing indeed). He has settled in with a gentle geriatric horse for a companion and is eating well (his weight was not an issue before - he obviously was fed decently). His club hoof causes him quite a lot of discomfort, but he manages to hobble around. A visit from the farrier is nextin line, to see if his discomfort can be aleviated. I don't believe he will ever be a riding horse, but he casts a nice shadow and is gentle and kind to be around. There is a peacefulness that eminates from his very being...

Okay, this isn't funny. I just posted a comment and it's gone. My first post was edited now myRead More second post disappears. What's going on?????

Good news. My post from 6/17 has reappeared but my post from this morning (6/18) hasn't surfacedRead More yet. I don't have a clue as to what is going on!

Niki- yes the plans have been updated to allow Banning and Yucaipa to share in the use of the newRead More ponds. It is an inter-agency plan that is beneficial to everyone. Why you consider having other entities share this project, which bonds us all together: they are paying to help build the new area so we, as ratepayers aren't hit with the whole bill, and we are going to finally get some recycled water into use from Yucaipa, Banning gets new wells, and no matter what- we have ultimate control over the use at all times- how that is a horror story I can't figure out. These plans were in the works for years, it was no secret. Its now being finalized by the board- as the details are now ironed out. The only horror story I see happening is how Beaumont refuses to make an agreement with the district to utilize their recycled water- and its not all the water district's fault like you think. Beaumont can't build unless they find some new sources of water. One of the reasons they pulled out is once they update their wastewater facility- they don't plan on wasting that recycled water just on landscaping . They are going to dump it into the basin itself for the water credit. Beaumont residents have no clue that their drinking water will eventually be more wastewater than water coming down the mountain. Sorry- but I think Fraser is doing a great job. If he hadn't got in there, the district would belong to Beaumont, who would take all the water they want regardless of impact studies, and siphon off all the money for their own uses. Guess you missed their lawsuit in the courts- the courts laughed them out. Beaumont is broke. The water district is financially sound.

Ben, it is unfortunate you are the victim of such serious misinformation. I thought I knew everyoneRead More at last night's BCVWD meeting. Who were you?
Claire Frémont June 15, 2013 at 09:59 am
I'm curious, Niki, what misinformation are you speaking of concerning Ben's comment? He appears toRead More be stating information that I've read about also. Beaumont did sue to try and take over the water district, they did get a cease and desist order to stop dumping their wastewater into the aquifer, and have pulled out of all negotiations with the district to supply them with recycled water. The district has made the arrangements instead with Yucaipa to take their water, with the hopes that someday Beaumont will come around. All these things are in agendas and downloads available to the public, which part are you disputing?
