Medium Risk

The health department has logged three inspections at Memorial Chevron, the earliest from 2024. On Oct 8, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around four violations to closer to seven violations.

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

Restaurants in Houston average 88, so Memorial Chevron trails the local norm. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
