Score
Public records show 21 inspections at Saddle and Cycle Club stretching back to 2010. On Aug 12, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food-contact surfaces”, showing up seven times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Saddle and Cycle Club's 74 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
