Score
Wendys has been inspected 12 times since 2022. Wendys was last inspected on Feb 18, 2026. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “ice buildup in reach-in freezer and/or walk-in freezer”, showing up four times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Jacksonville restaurant scores 74. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
