Grace Restaurant
Last inspected: Apr 22, 2026
32
Score
Inspectors have visited Grace Restaurant eight times, with records going back to 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 22, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around nine violations lately and about 11 violations before that.
Across the inspection history, “no probe thermometer provided to measure temperature” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.
That's lower than the typical Pompano Beach restaurant, which scores around 78. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
