Inspectors have visited Dunkin Donuts eight times, with records going back to 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Aug 25, 2017. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 25, 2017, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around four violations each.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
