Portsmouth Ohio Restaurant Report Card

During a difficult year for the restaurant industry, we have stopped our normal “Dirty Spoon” Report. The actual name has always been the Restaurant Report Card and we would award Silver Spoons and Dirty Spoons. As we move forward, we will simply give you the reports and citations as they have been issued by the local health department. From there, you decide where you’d like to take your own spoons.
