High Risk

M and M Grill has been inspected seven times since 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Oct 28, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to 12 violations per visit.

When inspectors have written things up, “refrigerated storage” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Compared to other Houston restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
