Mississippi grades restaurants A, B or C. Of 628 open Biloxi food facilities, 518 had an A and 110 a B at their latest state inspection; none had a C.
Last checked Oct. 12, 2026. Grades come from the Mississippi State Department of Health’s food facility inspection search, searched for facilities with a Biloxi address on Oct. 12. The meaning of each grade is from the department’s inspection grades page.
Restaurants and other food businesses in Biloxi and the rest of Harrison County are inspected by the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), not by the city or county. Each inspection ends in a letter grade, A, B or C, which the facility posts for customers. The grade reflects whether critical violations, those most likely to lead to contamination or illness, were found and fixed.

What the grades mean
| Grade | What the state says it means |
|---|---|
| A | No critical violations were found. |
| B | Critical violations were found but corrected during the inspection, under the inspector’s supervision. No further action is required. |
| C | Critical violations were found and some or all were not corrected, or critical violations were repeated from the last inspection. All must be corrected within 10 days; the reinspection date is on the report. |
If violations are not fixed in time, the state moves to suspend the facility’s permit. If an inspector finds an immediate public health hazard, the inspector closes the facility on the spot. The grading covers restaurants and other food facilities, including school cafeterias, day care centers and bars that sell food.
Biloxi’s latest grades
We searched the state database for every open food facility with a Biloxi address and recorded the grade from each one’s most recent inspection. Of the 628 facilities with an inspection on record:
| Latest grade | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 518 | 82% |
| B | 110 | 18% |
| C | 0 | 0% |
589 of the 628 had their latest inspection within the past 12 months. Four more open facilities had no inspection posted yet.
Method notes
- These figures count facilities, not restaurants alone: the state’s list includes school cafeterias, caterers, bars with food, food trucks and bakeries.
- The state’s city field reflects a facility’s address, so a few facilities with a Biloxi mailing address may sit just outside the city limits.
- A grade describes a single inspection on a single day. A B means problems were found and fixed on the spot; it is not a failing grade.
- A C is followed by a reinspection within 10 days; look at a facility’s full history in the state database before drawing conclusions.
- We publish the grade counts, not a ranking of individual businesses.

What this means for you
- Look for the posted letter grade when you walk in.
- A is clean; B means problems were found and fixed during the visit; C means a follow-up inspection is coming.
- Report a problem through the state’s complaint form, not the city.
