Score
Public records show 35 inspections at Dunkin Donuts stretching back to 2010. On May 12, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around two violations each.
Looking across the full record, “proper cooling methods used” is the recurring theme, flagged 14 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.
