Score
Across the available record, Subway has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 22, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “no proof provided that food employees are informed”, which has been cited three times.
Compared to other Okeechobee restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
