Last inspected: Mar 22, 2022

Score

Low Risk

Public records show five inspections at Dunkin Donuts stretching back to 2013. The most recent visit was on Mar 22, 2022. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 22, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.

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

The pattern that stands out is “premises maintained free of litter”, which has been cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
