Last inspected: Jan 21, 2026
45
Score
Wauchula Family Restaurant has been inspected 12 times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Jan 21, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around eight violations, down from roughly 16 violations earlier in the record.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food stored on floor”, showing up three times.
That's lower than the typical Wauchula restaurant, which scores around 70. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
