Score
Across the available record, Wilton Wings has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2023. On Jul 23, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around four violations across recent inspections versus roughly nine violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “exterior door has a gap at the threshold that opens”, which has been cited five times.
That's lower than the typical Fort Lauderdale restaurant, which scores around 80. Diners may want to scan the inspection details before deciding to visit.
