Score
Andies Restaurant appears in inspection records 25 times, starting in 2010. On Aug 11, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.
Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 16 times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Andies Restaurant on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
