High Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Apr 15, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 12 violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.

“Proper cold holding temperatures” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

Compared to other Dunwoody restaurants (averaging 82), there's room to close the gap. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
