I own a Pest Management Company in WI and can tell you from dozens of sanitary inspections every month in 4 counties in WI, the Mom and Pop places where it's not just their livelihood, but their main investment in life are MUCH cleaner than any national chain with their layers and layers of Pest Control protocols.
I will NOT eat Fast Food and will always opt for the local businesses. Because I inspect them. Sure....you may get that one or two local places that are nasty, but EVERY national chain is absolutely disgusting.

Sure is nice how working pest control you learn which places you will eat at and which you wont.
Had a few places when I was at Orkin I wouldnt even think about it.
1 restaurant built out of an old auto repair shop (still had the pit under the dining room, just floored over). Massive rodent issues. Holes in wall so large I could get my d cell maglite through them. They had a prep station in the basement and had a basement door to outside that would not seal off. The door to the old service pit they had blocked with a standup freezer so I could get in there to set traps and I figured thats where they were all living. Manager wouldnt even just have it moved out enough so I could get behind it, but wanted me to show up EVERY MORNING at 4am (yeah like thats happening
).
Another bar/restaurant not as bad but had a screen door in the kitchen area that had a 2" gap under it. Didnt want to address it. Only thing they did that I recommended was to have the dumpster moved from right next to the kitchen door to the corner of the parking lot.
Back to the small town pubs that are good. Norms Eatery & Tap in Lyndon Station is great.
