Retail Food Inspection Grading System
The Fishers Health Department manages the Retail Food Inspection Grading System for Fishers restaurants. Restaurants receive a letter grade based on the results of their annual food inspections, and grades are available to the public through the interactive dashboard below. Letter grades are also required to be displayed on restaurant doors and drive-thru windows.
Explore the interactive Food Grade and Inspection Dashboard. Select a facility name on the left and review inspection reports on the right panel. Zoom in and out using the map feature, filter facilities by food grade, and more.
What Do Letter Grades Mean?

Grade B

Grade C

Food Inspection Grading System FAQs
For Restaurants
- The Fishers Health Department is one of the few in Indiana enrolled in the FDA’s Retail Program Standards program, which ensures inspections focus on areas with the highest impact on foodborne illness prevention. This shifts the focus by making the department a public health program with a regulatory component rather than a regulatory program with a public health component. Learn more about obtaining permits.
