An earlier inspection on August 30, 2022 identified seven violations, including priority citations for hot-held hash brown potatoes measured at 121°F (minimum 135°F required) that an employee voluntarily discarded, and two separate hand-washing violations where employees failed to wash hands for at least 20 seconds and did not wash hands before gloving up for food service. Both hand-washing violations were corrected on site.

A brief offsite assessment was conducted September 2, 2023 in response to Hurricane Idalia with no violations documented.
