Medium Risk

The health department has logged 20 inspections at Vegas Restaurant, the earliest from 2022. Vegas Restaurant was last inspected on Jan 15, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to five violations.

Looking across the full record, “floors walls and ceilings-cleanability” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.

That's lower than the typical Mattapan restaurant, which scores around 84. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
