Score
Medium Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 25, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around five violations across recent inspections versus roughly nine violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “plumbing installed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Compared to other Kennesaw restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
