Wild Wing Cafe appears in inspection records six times, starting in 2024. The most recent visit was on Apr 29, 2026. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.
The pattern that stands out is “physical facilities installed, maintained, and clean”, which has been cited six times.
Compared to the broader Dawsonville restaurant scene, where the average is 90, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
