Score
Medium Risk

The health department has logged 13 inspections at Ebbe, the earliest from 2023. On Mar 12, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.

Across the inspection history, “no paper towels” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

That's lower than the typical Tampa restaurant, which scores around 79. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
