Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Bojangles five times, with records going back to 2024. The latest inspection on file is from Dec 17, 2025. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to zero violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “proper cold holding temperatures” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Palmetto restaurant scores 96. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
