High Risk

The health department has logged 13 inspections at Toast, the earliest from 2010. On May 14, 2019, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. Toast's record stops at May 14, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to eight violations per visit.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, showing up nine times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Toast's 35 doesn't quite reach. Diners may want to scan the inspection details before deciding to visit.
