Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Across the available record, Hollywood Diner has five inspections on file, the first dated 2022. On May 5, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.

When inspectors have written things up, “anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to other Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
