Score

Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent report on file is from Aug 22, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to four violations before.

Looking across the full record, “working containers of food removed” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

That's lower than the typical Apollo Beach restaurant, which scores around 67. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
