Medium Risk

Going back to 2022, Culvers has nine inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 3, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to five violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “food-contact surface soiled with food debris” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Clermont restaurant scores 68. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
