Score
Across the available record, C's Waffles has 11 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The most recent visit was on Feb 11, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 28 violations each, up from closer to 16 violations before.
“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing eight times across the record.
The city-wide average sits at 82, which C's Waffles' 17 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
