Score
Going back to 2022, Little Caesars has five inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Oct 7, 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 three violations to closer to nine violations.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Restaurants in Dunnellon average 72, so Little Caesars trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
