Medium Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent visit was on Apr 27, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around six violations, down from roughly 11 violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “adequate handwashing facilities supplied & accessible”, which has been cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 80, which Family Wings and Philly's 61 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
