Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at Dunkin Donuts, the earliest from 2022. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly five violations earlier in the record.
Across the inspection history, “reach-in freezer shelves with rust that has pitted the surface” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.
Compared to other Okeechobee restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
