Last inspected: Jan 8, 2025

Score

Medium Risk

K & E Subs has been inspected five times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Jan 8, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around four violations to closer to six violations.

When inspectors have written things up, “no paper towels” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Compared to other Boca Raton restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
