Score
Across the available record, Dunkin Donuts has 16 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jun 23, 2020. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that Dunkin Donuts's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jun 23, 2020; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Dunkin Donuts is doing better than most peers. The record reflects steady performance over time.
