30
Score
Public records show six inspections at The Pier House stretching back to 2022. On Aug 22, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 13 violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “reach-in freezer interior/shelves have accumulation” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Daytona Beach restaurant, which scores around 71. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
