Score
Medium Risk

Going back to 2024, Buzzy Bee has four inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 15, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

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

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

That's lower than the typical Houston restaurant, which scores around 88. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
