To check a San Bernardino County restaurant, open the county Environmental Health Services portal and choose Food Facility Inspections. Search the facility, match its address, then open the dated inspection report and any later reinspection before relying on the letter grade.
The stable official entry point is the EHS Customer Service Portal. Choose Food Facility Inspections, or open the food-facility lookup directly. The food-facility page also provides an optional nearby-facilities view.
Find the exact food facility
- Copy the restaurant’s full street address, city, and ZIP code.
- Use the food-facility lookup to locate the intended business.
- Use the displayed address and city to separate branches or similarly named facilities.
- Open the matching facility and keep its facility identifier with the report.
- Read the newest routine inspection together with any corrective-action or reinspection record.
San Bernardino County covers a large area and the same chain may have locations in different cities. A nearby marker or name match is not enough. Confirm the physical address before attaching a grade or violation to the restaurant. If the address turns out to be in Riverside County, use our Riverside County inspection search guide.
Open the official inspection report behind the grade
The county’s current Food Facilities page says the California Code Official Inspection Report documents observed violations and calculates the final score and grade from those violations. Do not stop at the displayed letter grade: open the report and read what produced the result.
| Report field | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Facility name, location, and facility ID | Confirm the report belongs to the exact restaurant. |
| Inspection date and service type | Separate a routine visit from a reinspection or another service. |
| Result, action, score, and grade | Keep these labels together; the letter alone does not explain the findings. |
| Violation text and point deductions | Read the observed condition and required correction instead of counting rows. |
| Reinspection date or next action | Check the later report before calling an older issue unresolved. |
An official 2026 county report shows these fields can include the facility name and ID, date, inspection service, result, action, score, letter grade, violations, and reinspection direction. The fields and wording on the matched live report control; do not import another county’s thresholds or status terms.
What a B or C sets in motion in San Bernardino County
Every inspection starts at 100 points, with deductions for observed violations, and the grade card should be posted at the front of the restaurant (county restaurant grades sheet). The county’s re-score inspection request form (January 2022) sets out what follows a lower grade:
- B (80 to 89): the facility may request an optional re-score inspection. EHS completes it within 10 county business days of the request.
- C (70 to 79): the facility must correct the deficiencies and request a re-score within 30 days of the report. If it doesn’t request one, doesn’t comply, or doesn’t reach at least a B on the re-score, it may be closed until it earns a B.
A re-score is a new, unscheduled, complete routine inspection billed at $245 an hour, and the form says a higher grade isn’t guaranteed. The grade card stays valid until the next routine, re-score or elevated-risk inspection. So when two reports sit a few weeks apart, check whether the second was a re-score before treating it as the next routine visit.
An extra inspection can also come from the county’s risk-based inspection frequency plan (revised May 2019). It adds a billable elevated-risk inspection when a facility meets any of five criteria, including a C or lower on one of the last two graded inspections, a B or lower on two of the last three, four or more critical violations in one inspection, or a permit suspension on the last graded inspection. Read the report’s service type to see which kind of visit it was.
Read the history in date order
Begin with the newest routine inspection, then locate the next event required by the report. A finding corrected during the visit, a corrective-action notice, and a completed reinspection are different events. Keep each date and action attached to the correct report.
The county says permitted food businesses receive two yearly inspections. That does not guarantee that every visit or document appears on the same day it occurs. Use the portal’s dated history and contact EHS if a required follow-up appears to be missing.
If the facility does not appear
- Shorten the restaurant name and remove punctuation.
- Try a former licensed name after an ownership change.
- Use the city and ZIP code to confirm that the address is in San Bernardino County.
- Check whether the operation is listed under another food-facility type.
- Call or text Environmental Health Services at 800-442-2283 if the report should exist but remains unavailable.
A blank search means only that no match appeared for those inputs. It does not prove that the restaurant was never inspected or has no violations.
Save a reproducible county lookup
Record the portal URL, search term, matched name and address, facility ID, inspection dates and types, score and grade, corrective action, reinspection checked, and access date. An inspection describes conditions observed on a dated visit and does not guarantee the restaurant’s current condition.
For general interpretation after the correct county report is open, use the restaurant health inspection report guide and the food inspection reports and violations guide. San Bernardino County EHS remains the source for the facility-specific facts.
