Medium Risk

Krystal has been inspected 10 times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Nov 13, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

The city-wide average sits at 80, which Krystal's 74 doesn't quite reach. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
