High Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 21, 2022. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 21, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around 17 violations per visit versus roughly 14 violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “equipment in poor repair”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Palm Bay restaurant, which scores around 76. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
