The Hammond

The Hammond currently holds a C grade and scores better than 62 percent of similar restaurants in the county, placing it in the upper-middle range. The facility has struggled with a recurring pattern of improper cold holding violations dating back to October 2023, with instances appearing in February 2024, May 2025, and most recently May 2026, suggesting persistent refrigeration or temperature management issues. The May 2026 inspection marked a significant deterioration, adding bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods to the cold holding violation, and the overall trajectory has shifted downward over the past year despite passing clean inspections in between.
