High Risk

Public records show 12 inspections at Planet Hollywood stretching back to 2022. The most recent report on file is from Feb 18, 2026. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.

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

The pattern that stands out is “time/temperature control for safety food cold held”, which has been cited four times.

The city-wide average sits at 87, which Planet Hollywood's 39 doesn't quite reach. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
