High Risk

Broadway Mart has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The most recent report on file is from Nov 3, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around eight violations per visit versus roughly five violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “food properly labeled” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Restaurants in East Providence average 79, so Broadway Mart trails the local norm. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
