Medium Risk

Chili's #141 appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 9, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.

Looking across the full record, “old labels stuck to food containers after cleaning” is the recurring theme, flagged five times.

Compared to other Tampa restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
