Score
Strokers appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Apr 23, 2026. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 15 violations each, up from closer to four violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “working containers of food removed”, which has been cited six times.
That's lower than the typical Palm Harbor restaurant, which scores around 74. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
