High Risk

The health department has logged four inspections at Gigis Patio and Grill, the earliest from 2022. The most recent report on file is from Jan 22, 2024. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 22, 2024, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 16 violations per visit lately, up from roughly seven violations before.

Across the inspection history, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

That's lower than the typical Macclenny restaurant, which scores around 68. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
