Score
Big & Little's Restaurant has been inspected 23 times since 2014. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 1, 2023. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Public records show no inspections at Big & Little's Restaurant since Feb 1, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to five violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 14 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
