With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 30, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

That's lower than the typical Jacksonville restaurant, which scores around 74. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
