52
Score
Best Sub #2 appears in inspection records 19 times, starting in 2014. Best Sub #2 was last inspected on May 14, 2025. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around 10 violations per visit versus roughly six violations earlier in the record.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 13 times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Best Sub #2 on the weaker side. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
