Score

High Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Dec 16, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near six violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “time as a public health control”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical North Kingstown restaurant, which scores around 88. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
