Medium Risk

Winghouse Bar + Grill appears in inspection records 15 times, starting in 2022. On Jul 29, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around eight violations lately and about 10 violations before that.

Across the inspection history, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.

That's lower than the typical Clearwater restaurant, which scores around 79. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
