Public records currently show only two inspections for Bryn Mawr Deli. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 12, 2010. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Note that Bryn Mawr Deli's inspection history hasn't been updated since Nov 12, 2010; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around seven violations compared to roughly 10 violations earlier on.
Across the inspection history, “food in original container, properly labeled” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
