Score

Low Risk

The health department has logged five inspections at Abby's, the earliest from 2024. On Mar 6, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained, and clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Cochran restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
