Vikingos appears in inspection records 11 times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 20, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
“Clam/mussel/oyster tags not marked” comes up most often, recorded five times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Bonita Springs restaurant, which scores around 80. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
