Last inspected: Jan 30, 2026
43
Score
Across the available record, Rooney's has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 30, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around nine violations each, up from closer to three violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surface soiled with food debris”, which has been cited six times.
Compared to other Palm Bay restaurants (averaging 76), there's room to close the gap. Diners may want to scan the inspection details before deciding to visit.
