Score
Inspectors have visited Dunkin Donuts nine times, with records going back to 2012. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 2, 2016. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Public records show no inspections at Dunkin Donuts since Sep 2, 2016, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.
Across the inspection history, “appropriate method of handling of food (ice) hair restraints” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.
Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; Dunkin Donuts is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
