Score

High Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent visit was on Feb 2, 2023. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record. G & L China Buffet's record stops at Feb 2, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around 11 violations to closer to six violations per visit.

Compared to other Clewiston restaurants (averaging 76), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
