Score
Limerock Road appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2022. On Oct 29, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surface soiled with food debris”, which has been cited two times.
Compared to other Gainesville restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
