Low Risk

The health department has logged 22 inspections at Burger King #10345, the earliest from 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 19, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

When inspectors have written things up, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” has been the most frequent reason, cited seven times.
