Score
Low Risk

Going back to 2012, Dunkin Donuts has 20 inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on May 1, 2024. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Public records show no inspections at Dunkin Donuts since May 1, 2024, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to six violations per visit.

Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 11 times.

Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; Dunkin Donuts is comfortably above that bar. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
