The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 12 violations each, up from closer to seven violations before.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained, & clean” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Philadelphia restaurant, which scores around 72. Diners may want to scan the inspection details before deciding to visit.
