Score
Medium Risk

The inspection history at Ritestop 7 is still short, with only two visits logged. On Sep 10, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around 14 violations to closer to seven violations per visit.

“Hand-washing sink supplies” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Compared to other Houston restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
