Data were collected from 257 food and drinking establishments’ managers/owners using questionnaires and observational checklists . Data were entered by Epi data version 3.1 and exported to BIM SPSS version 21 for data analyses. Both descriptive and analytic statistics were employed. Statistical significance was considered at a P value less than 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. Results The study revealed that 47.9% of the food and drinking establishments were in poor sanitation and hygienic status. The study showed that male managers (AOR: 9.29, 95% CI: 2.97-21.14), managers less than 40 years old (AOR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.03-4.36), more than five years services (AOR: 3.66, 95% CI: 1.66-8.07), lack of clean basin (AOR: 2.92, 95% CI: 0.10-11.47), absence of liquid waste drainage system installations (AOR: 3.26, 95% CI: 0.12-0.62) were significantly associated with poor sanitation and hygienic status of food and drinking establishments.
