Score
Inspectors have visited Dunkin Donuts 11 times, with records going back to 2011. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 19, 2018. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Dec 19, 2018, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately compared to roughly two violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “thermometers provided & accurate”, showing up six times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
