A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. Note that Express Food King's inspection history hasn't been updated since Apr 22, 2024; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around zero violations to closer to six violations per visit.

That's lower than the typical Fort Myers restaurant, which scores around 80. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
