Score
International Beer Garten appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2023. The most recent visit was on Mar 16, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Food-contact surface soiled with food debris” comes up most often, recorded three times in the inspection record.
Compared to other Lutz restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
