Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 19, 2026. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.

Across the inspection history, “insects, rodents & animals not present” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

That's lower than the typical Warren restaurant, which scores around 90. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
