Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Across the available record, Burger King has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Burger King was last inspected on Jan 7, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

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

The pattern that stands out is “establishment is not free of harborage or conditions”, which has been cited six times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Bronx restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
