Score
The health department has logged 30 inspections at Girl & the Goat, the earliest from 2010. Girl & the Goat was last inspected on Mar 17, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near two violations per visit.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 13 times across the record.
