Low Risk

Going back to 2022, The Sandwich Authority has five inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 4, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to zero violations per visit over the last few inspections.

“Food-contact surface soiled with food debris” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Compared to the broader Ocala restaurant scene, where the average is 78, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
