Score
Inspectors have visited Broken Spoke (The) 13 times, with records going back to 2022. On Mar 20, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

When inspectors have written things up, “no chemical test kit provided when using sanitizer” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
