Going back to 2024, Billy Jacks has five inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 24, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around 12 violations to closer to four violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “raw animal food stored over/not properly separated” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
Compared to the broader Jacksonville restaurant scene, this is about average. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
