Score
Low Risk

The health department has logged 21 inspections at Captain Hooks Fish & Chicken, the earliest from 2010. On Feb 16, 2017, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Note that Captain Hooks Fish & Chicken's inspection history hasn't been updated since Feb 16, 2017; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited 15 times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
