Going back to 2023, Prime Time Original Ho Ho has nine inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Feb 24, 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 four violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Raw animal food stored over or with ready-to-eat food” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
