GROVETOWN, Ga. - This week’s Restaurant Report Card includes three perfect scores, two follow-ups and showcases Willie Sue’s Southern Restaurant on Columbia Road in Grovetown.

Two weeks ago, Sidetrack Bar and Grill scored a 64.

This week they received a 92.

Now we move on to our lowest scores of the week.

In Richmond County, McDonald’s at 3444 Mike Padgett Highway in Augusta scored a 75.

Some of their violations were handling food with bare hands, food kept at improper temperatures and employees weren't wearing hair restraints.

In Columbia County it's an 85 for Lotus on Columbia Road.

This is also a follow-up inspection.

Points were taken off for equipment needing cleaning, broken equipment that needed to be removed and food kept at improper temperatures.

In Aiken County, Palmetto Express on Edgefield Highway in Aiken comes in with an 88.

Inspectors found mold in the ice machine, equipment on the cook-line needed cleaning and soap and towels weren't provided.

We have three perfect scores:

In Aiken, Firehouse Subs at 152 South Aiken Lane in Aiken received a 100.

In Richmond County, Vera Cruz at 3216 Peach Orchard Road in Augusta and Starbucks at 228 Robert C. Daniel Jr. Parkway in Augusta both scored 100's.

Keep in mind each score is based on the day the health inspector visited that particular restaurant.

This week's scores are for July 6 – 10.

What about Goldtown in Grovetown? Did they get a better score than an "F"? That place don't do a good job with the buffet either.The food is dried out and hard! The Employees sit down and eat and will get right up and refill your glass without washing their hands!! Employees wearing flip-flops going in/out of the kitchen!! No hairnets!! Just nasty!! I stopped going there,when I saw the mice,running around the dining room!

THE CHURCH'S CHICKEN RESTAURANT IN AIKEN NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED. THAT IS THE DIRTIEST, MOST FILTHY PLACE I HAVE EVER WENT TO. THERE'S SO MANY ROACHES CRAWLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR AND WALL. THEIR WAS EVEN A BUG FLOATING AROUND IN THE BUTTER WITH THE CORN ON THE COB. GROSS!
