Restaurants and other food service businesses in Lawrenceville are inspected by the Gwinnett Environmental Health Department, part of GNR Public Health, the district health department for Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale counties. Its inspection reports are public and searchable on the GNR inspection portal.
Gwinnett is not in the state’s own inspection search site, which covers most other Georgia counties; use the GNR portal for Lawrenceville.

How the scores work
Georgia scores food service inspections out of 100 and gives each a letter grade, according to the state Department of Public Health’s inspection site:
| Grade | Score |
|---|---|
| A | 90 to 100 |
| B | 80 to 89 |
| C | 70 to 79 |
| U (unsatisfactory) | 69 or less |
Points come off for each rule the inspector finds out of compliance. Since Jan. 1, 2026, Gwinnett inspectors have enforced the 2025 Georgia Food Code in places permitted before February 2025, and points may be taken off for items that do not meet the new rules, according to GNR Public Health. The full rules are in Chapter 511-6-1 of the state’s food service regulations, linked on the same page.
How to read a report
- The grade is a snapshot. It reflects what the inspector saw on that visit. A later inspection may look different.
- Look at the date. A report from months ago may not reflect the kitchen today.
- Read the violations, not just the number. The report lists each item marked, so you can see whether a deduction was for food temperatures, handwashing, labeling or something minor.
- Check for a follow-up. If the history shows a later inspection after a low score, read that one too.
- Inspection type matters. The portal also lists pools, hotels, tattoo studios and septic systems, so check that a report is a food service inspection.
How to look up a Lawrenceville restaurant
- Open the GNR inspection portal.
- Search by the restaurant’s name or street address. The portal may ask you to confirm you are not a robot.
- Choose a result to see its inspection history and each report.
Many businesses with a Lawrenceville mailing address are outside city limits, but all of Gwinnett County is covered by the same health department, so the address search works either way.
Why we do not rank restaurants
We do not publish “worst restaurant” lists. Inspection scores carry legal weight for the business, the portal is the official record, and a single visit can be misleading out of context. When an inspection leads to a closure or a health department order, we report it as news, with the inspection report linked.
Opening a food business
GNR Public Health reviews plans before construction, issues food service permits and trains staff, according to its food service page, which lists the applications and permitting steps. The City of Lawrenceville handles the business license and the building permit separately; see our building permits and zoning guide and new businesses in Lawrenceville.
What this means for you
- Check the date and the violations, not just the letter.
- Gwinnett scores are on the GNR portal, not the state search site.
- Report a problem to Gwinnett Environmental Health at 770-963-5132.
