Score
Inspectors have visited Codys Original Roadhouse 14 times, with records going back to 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 8, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around four violations per visit lately, up from roughly one violation before.
