Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, Devon Seafood Grill has 17 inspections on file, the first dated 2011. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 8, 2019. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. The file hasn't been updated since Jul 8, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly four violations before.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, showing up nine times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
