Score
Going back to 2022, Snack Bar has eight inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 24, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around seven violations to closer to four violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “establishment has no written procedures for employees”, which has been cited three times.
Compared to other Fort Myers restaurants (averaging 80), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
