Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Red Snapper — Jimmy's Best's record stops at Apr 16, 2020, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The pattern that stands out is “food properly labeled”, which has been cited 10 times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Red Snapper — Jimmy's Best's 61 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
