61
Score
There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 11, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
Compared to other Marietta restaurants (averaging 87), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
