See What Watertown Health Inspectors Found in Their Restaurant Inspections

The Watertown Health Department inspected D'Angelo, Green Peapod, Demos and Dunkin Donuts.

The Watertown Health Department makes inspections of the town's 200-plus restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores and more each year. They look for a variety of violations, including critical ones that could lead to food borne illness.

The inspection reports are public records. If there are violations, the inspector always returns for a follow up inspection to ensure that the violations are corrected. Establishments with repeated or serious violations are called for a hearing with the Board of Health.
