Low Risk

Philly 40 appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 11, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Public records show no inspections at Philly 40 since Apr 11, 2024, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around six violations to closer to one violation per visit.

When inspectors have written things up, “no soap provided at handwash sink” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Compared to the broader Port Richey restaurant scene, where the average is 80, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
