Score
Low Risk

Going back to 2022, Kia Center Main Kitchen has nine inspections in the public record. On Mar 3, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “equipment and utensils not properly air-dried - wet nesting” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Orlando restaurant scores 79. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
