I would first look at city/county government listings. Not sure where you
are but in Oregon, restaurant health/safety rules are administered by the
Health Division. However, actual inspections are made by the health
departments of the various counties. To make it more confusing, rules
businesses dealing with food other than restaurants (like our fish/seafood
retail store) are handled by the Food Safety Division of the Oregon Dept. of
Agriculture.
