Score
The health department has logged 12 inspections at Checkers #5906, the earliest from 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 9, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around nine violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “ceiling/ceiling tiles/vents soiled”, showing up nine times.
The city-wide average sits at 79, which Checkers #5906's 61 doesn't quite reach. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
