Do Rite Donuts
Last inspected: Sep 25, 2025
95
Score
Do Rite Donuts appears in inspection records 21 times, starting in 2014. Do Rite Donuts was last inspected on Sep 25, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 14 times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
