Tasty Place appears in inspection records 19 times, starting in 2012. The most recent visit was on Jun 11, 2024. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 10 times.
