Score
Going back to 2022, Tunis has 11 inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Mar 10, 2026. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to seven violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “floor soiled/has accumulation of debris” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Tunis scores about where you'd expect for a Jacksonville restaurant. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
