Low Risk

Burger King appears in inspection records 20 times, starting in 2010. On May 25, 2021, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The most recent inspection at Burger King is from May 25, 2021, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near three violations each time.
