Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Note that Reggae Island Jerk Chicken's inspection history hasn't been updated since Feb 7, 2017; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 11 violations each, up from closer to five violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
