Score
Public records show 22 inspections at Busters Bistro stretching back to 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 9, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around seven violations, down from roughly 12 violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Restaurants in Sanford average 77, so Busters Bistro trails the local norm. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
