Score
Public records show eight inspections at Whiskey Willy's stretching back to 2023. The most recent report on file is from Mar 25, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
Violation counts have held steady across recent visits, averaging around four violations each.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Lutz restaurant, which scores around 79. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
