Medium Risk

Wingstop has been inspected five times since 2024. On Feb 24, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “time as a public health control”, which has been cited two times.

Restaurants in Georgia average 88, so Wingstop trails the local norm. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
