Score
With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Jul 25, 2022. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection. Public records show no inspections at Cowboy Corral since Jul 25, 2022, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around 17 violations across recent inspections versus roughly 29 violations before.
Compared to other Clearwater restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
