Score

Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Jan 15, 2026. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around three violations across recent inspections versus roughly seven violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “warewashing facilities” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Cumberland restaurant, which scores around 88. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
