Is that a lot?

Too few fast-food and counter places here for ranges. Colours show points.

Most fast-food and counter places here got 8 to 21 point violations. Dunkin' got about the same as most. That's from the last routine visit, on Apr 20, 2026.

Compared with 4,330 New York City fast-food and counter places. Each place's last routine inspection counts.

About this record

Search for the name on NYC Health's restaurant grades lookup.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.

Zero points means the inspector found no problems. New York City adds points for each problem. Big ones, the kind most likely to make someone sick, add more.

Inspectors add points for each problem they find. 0 to 13 points is an A, 14 to 27 a B, 28 or more a C.
