Overview

Rocky Road Rascals in Lake City has been inspected 4 times since November 2022, with a combined 14 violations. The facility has operated without emergency closures. Recent inspections document recurring plumbing deficiencies—specifically missing backflow prevention devices in the mops sink and kitchen plumbing—cited in two of the three routine inspections. Flying insects were documented around the self-service soda fountain and in the kitchen during a July 2024 inspection, though the facility was deemed compliant during a follow-up visit. Equipment sanitation issues have also appeared: in January 2026, a deli slicer on a storage shelf had visible food debris buildup, which was cleaned during the inspection. The facility has been required to submit microbiological laboratory ice sample analysis results within 30 days of each inspection; failure to comply results in stop-use orders on ice equipment and stop-sale orders on packaged ice. The most recent focused inspection on February 10, 2026 confirmed receipt of required ice testing documentation, with no violations noted.
