Score
Krystal has been inspected nine times since 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 29, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around three violations compared to roughly 12 violations earlier on.
Looking across the full record, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Jacksonville restaurants. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
