Medium Risk

Arthur's Store has been inspected three times since 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Aug 23, 2012. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 23, 2012, so take the current picture with that in mind.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Arthur's Store on the weaker side. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
