They sort of are. Restaurant inspections are done by the government and are pretty universally trusted by consumers. I’ve been surprised that restaurants don’t more readily advertise their scores to help offset reviews.

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/ https://ratings.food.gov.uk/
- andylynch 4y agoYes they are becoming mandatory in England and already are in NI plus Wales. Weirdly not in Scotland.
- pbhjpbhj 4y agoTo expand on your post: 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.
