Score
Across the available record, 3 Guys Caribbean Restaurant has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 17, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around 10 violations lately and about 14 violations before that.
When inspectors have written things up, “current hotel and restaurant license not displayed” has been the most frequent reason, cited eight times.
Compared to other Tampa restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
