Score
The health department has logged 10 inspections at Madison Restaurant, the earliest from 2022. The most recent report on file is from Mar 20, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
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 four times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average New Port Richey restaurant scores 78. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
