But what the government does is food _safety_ inspections, right? This is quite different from the quality of customer experience, ambiance, service, even how _tasty_ the food is.
I don't know about the US, but in the UK food safety ratings are displayed on or next to each establishment's front door (might be a legal requirement, I am not sure). They're also available online at https://ratings.food.gov.uk/
One Chinese takeaway near us hides their FSA score card on a little window high above the door; they had a 2 (out of 5, 1 being 'we're going to shut you down') last time I looked. They get loads of [I believe entirely genuine] recommendations on Facebook posts and they're always busy. I'd rate their food as mediocre.
