Score
Across the available record, Eagles Deli has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 28, 2026. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around five violations each, up from closer to two violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “(p) person-in-charge-duties” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to other Brighton restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
