Score
Public records show 20 inspections at Capt Curt's BBQ Shazzam stretching back to 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 10, 2014. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 10, 2014, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around five violations compared to roughly seven violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils 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. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
