90
Score
Dunkin Donuts appears in inspection records six times, starting in 2022. On Nov 19, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around nine violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “equipment in poor repair”, which has been cited two times.
Among Port Richey restaurants, the typical score is 80; Dunkin Donuts is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
