Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Jun 13, 2024. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around six violations, down from roughly eight violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “no copy of latest inspection report available”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Ocala restaurant, which scores around 78. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
