Score
Going back to 2022, Dajen Eats has four inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from May 8, 2024. 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 16 violations each, up from closer to seven violations before.
“Time/temperature control for safety food cold held” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Florida restaurant, which scores around 72. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
