Score
Across the available record, Woodland has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The most recent report on file is from Mar 18, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 12 violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “food-contact surface soiled with food debris” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Woodland's latest score of 86 sits above the Palatka average of 75. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
