Score
The health department has logged 10 inspections at Georgia Pig, the earliest from 2022. On Dec 17, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around two violations lately and about eight violations before that.
When inspectors have written things up, “accumulation of debris on exterior of warewashing machine” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Fort Lauderdale restaurant, which scores around 80. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
