American

Last inspected: Aug 11, 2025

Score

Medium Risk

Quality Inn has been inspected four times since 2022. On Aug 11, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to seven violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “no probe thermometer provided to measure temperature”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to other Mount Dora restaurants (averaging 69), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
