Score
The health department has logged six inspections at Hungry Howies, the earliest from 2022. The most recent report on file is from Nov 6, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 12 violations each, up from closer to five violations before.
“Wall soiled with accumulated grease, food debris, and/or dust” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
Compared to other Orlando restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
