Score
Going back to 2022, Napper Tandys has five inspections in the public record. On May 28, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “nonfood-contact surfaces”, showing up three times.
That's lower than the typical Roslindale restaurant, which scores around 85. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
