High Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Apr 9, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “contamination prevented during food preparation, storage & display” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 72, which Flannel's 52 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
