Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, Haydees Restaurant has 10 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 16, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

By comparison, the average Bradenton facility scores 83, putting Haydees Restaurant on the weaker side. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
