For the last month, 5 on Your Side featured Restaurants by Request – a segment where you told us what restaurants you wanted to hear about. Because of that, 5 on Your Side did not do it’s regular restaurant report. So 5 on Your Side compiled a list of restaurants that scored less than 90 (without bonus points) during those missed weeks.

They are arranged by date and county.

NOTE TO SELF.......NO EATING OUT WHILE VISITING THE RALEIGH AREA!

I think I'm most confused about the chain(franchised) restauranants........Chili's, McDonald's, Panera, etc. What is big daddy thinking? Get those area managers BUSY!

I think we'd be shocked by what goes on in MOST kitchens, not just the low scorers; eating out is risk no matter where you go.

A lot of asian resturants on here.

This is one reason why eat at home.

Thanks for doing this!
