Low Risk

The health department has logged eight inspections at Medley Grill and More, the earliest from 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 20, 2026. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “working containers of food removed” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Medley restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
