70
Score
Snak Shak appears in inspection records 10 times, starting in 2023. On Mar 30, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Jacksonville restaurant, which scores around 74. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
